Concert meme

In honor of tonight's Indigo Girls concert, I decided it was time to bust out the concert meme again! I had planned to go to more concerts last year than I actually did (I had tickets to two others, but ended up not being able to go)... but I was able to fulfill one of my childhood fantasies with the NKOTB concert. :)

I definitely need to get to more shows this year - I think Prince should go on tour again! He has a new album out, so a tour would totally make sense! I really wanted to see Coldplay, but they didn't come to Chicago this time (damn!). I'm also anxiously waiting for some updated Lillith Fair news - I wasn't able to go the first time around (due to a death in the family) and I refuse to miss it this time!

I missed the first Lilith Fair, but did make it to 2 and 3. I am hoping to go again.

I saw the Indigo Girls last night (for the 6th time!) Did Brandi Carlisle open for you too? She's amazing!

Yep! I only knew one of her songs before the concert, so she was fairly new to me. I'm definitely going to get her album now - she was great!

Yeah, they played at the Big Top Chataqua. It was a great place to see them.
