I agree.

I use to have the mindset that I didn't want to go to a show by myself. For these above shows I could not find anyone to go with or people who liked PJ couldn't go. A lot of my friends don't really like concerts or they have wives who don't let them do stuff.

I just became friends with two pretty big fans 3 years ago. They had floor seats at the Lincoln show and I got a reserved by myself but still had a great time. My friends and I kept acknowledging each others freak outs. My friend who's a 10C memeber went to his 25th show in Lincoln, 26th last Sunday in Austin and his 27th will be in Denver. Wish we had met in the mid 90's.

I have only gone myself once but if that was my only option I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

My main PJ friend and I have gone 20 times together.

Nice. Yeah the last few years some of my favorite shows have been the ones I go to by myself. My ex wife didn't really like music and my current GF isn't much of a concert goer. As a 34 year old guy I obviously have friends who like Pearl Jam who remember the 90's like it was yesterday. My buddy Chris (the dude who has seen PJ 20 plus times I mentioned earlier) actually saw Nirvana in 1993. Most of my friends however have wives who limit their fun. Bitches.

Enjoying a concert with my wife depends on the artist. If it's more mellow or I don't know a lot of the lyrics, we have a good time. If it's one of my favorite bands that I get really excited for and like to sing along...she gets annoyed at my singing/antics, and I get annoyed that she can't just leave me alone...so to recap I will likely never take her to see PJ again and it's a shame that we're both big Counting Crows fans (well...good for riding in the car together, bad for attending a show).

Aren't Counting Crows, like, impossible to sing along with live? On account of the singer constantly changing the melody?

Where's your sense of adventure?

It's probably just a bad case of seasonal affective disorder, mal.

Every white guy who was a teenager in the 90s.

One would have to assume. But really, every generation has its bands that become casino, fair, and rodeo-barn fodder. Even Styx is still out there somewhere, steadily drawing in the hilarity.

Actually that's a great call. Probably more reason why she gets so annoyed at me. Hard to follow. Usually the choruses, though, are pretty standard.
