Might want to throw this link in to the description or see if you can get the embed to work as an alternative to the one you are using now which is blocked.

Embed code does not appear to be valid - ignoring backup request by eric3579.

@eric3579, that alternate is also *blocked

Hola to the rescue

For the record kids, you can still go to concerts in your 30s.

I went to see NIN and Queens of the Stone Age just two weeks ago. It was epic, and I'm 36. If I hadn't had my hand in a cast, I'd have been taking names in the moshpit too, which I will do next month at Beastwars!

Video is already flagged Region Blocked - ignoring blocked request by ChaosEngine.

Heh.. yeah, the funny part is that I DO still go to concerts in my 30s -- I'm setting the alarm to pick up those Tool tickets the next morning after a late show like in the video -- even though I identify with all the stuff in the vid.

NIN was a great show, I saw them recently as well.

Small concert venues are notorious for awful conditions and whatever monopoly controls venue booking in your country will ensure your booking fees are extortionate.

I mean the fact that ear plugs are pretty much a pre-requisite for most indoor events shows how little thought goes in.

I suppose the attitude is, when there's one venue for a band you might never get to see live again, you'll put up with and pay anything.

Totally relate.

I never started going to real concerts for bands I like until I was in my late 20s/early 30s and I could not have been less entertained.

They weren't crowded ragers as depicted here, but I was totally just Meh the whole time. I kept trying to force myself to get into it, but I just couldn't have cared less that I was there. I really don't get the appeal. This is one of those things that makes me feel like an alien (from outer space).

Just me?

Who'd you see?

The Shins (opening for Sebastian and Belle), Blink 182 (after they reunited), The Killers (three times), and Smashing Pumpkins.

Prior to that my only concert was when I was about 20 when I saw Michael Bolton after winning tickets on the radio. Nosebleed seats plus Michael Bolton; you can imagine how great that concert was.
