Couldn't score Pavement tickets at retail (was looking at LA). I guess I'll buy 2nd-hand. I wonder if they're any good live at this point?
Were they ever good live? I got tickets for DC. Funny how they are now headlining festivals and selling out fairly big venues.
I would not know, you'll have to ask that question in the recent boomer thread. Maybe @LonghornFan would know.
I saw Jethro Tull twice in 1969, at the Catacombs (amazing!) in August, and the Music Hall in December, when they headlined a triple bill with Joe Cocker and Fleetwood Mac, with Peter Green. Top ticket price at the Music Hall was $6.50, considered outrageous at the time, but worth it. Some groups always gave everything they had on the stage, groups like the Kinks and Ian Anderson's Jethro Tull. They played the Music Hall again in 1970, sadly switching to the Coliseum in '71 because they'd become so popular. They were still great, but the Coliseum had awful acoustics. You had to be close to the stage. I always wormed my way there, regardless of the tickets I had, dragging the girl I was with along with me. "Can we do this?" "Oh sure! No problem!"
