Desert Trip mega concert weekend - Oct 7-9 in Indio

[Angel Oracle]

Who is thinking of going?    Might be a good birthday weekend celebration for the AO.

McCartney, Stones, The Who, Neil Young, Roger Waters, and Bob Dylan headline it. 

GA tickets are $199/day or $399 for the 3 days, floor seating for the 3 days goes from $699 to $1,599, grandstand seating for the 3 days goes from $999 to $1,599, and pit seating for the 3 days will be $1,599.    

RV camping is $950 for the 3 days, at least that can be divided up by bringing friends along.

Geez, I don't know. All those guys are in my death pool and so far this year has been paying off pretty well.

That's a good group to have in the death pool... except Keith Richards. That guy has been dead for 30 years so he doesn't count.

Too expensive for my blood.

[ELEVEN]

Way overpriced and the venue is a pain in the ass. Already seen all of them back when they were better, and for a lot less.

That's a lot of dough

in before someone says "why i only paid $399 for my first car/house/heart transplant."

i'd be interested in saturday night the most of those three days, but i'm not willing to drive to coachella to see any of them.

I went to one Coachella Festival years ago. Was one of the worst experiences of my life. Wanted to leave after about an hour. Had to stay in a rented RV overnight. It was about 100 degrees. Absolutely miserable. I don't know how anybody can actually enjoy it.

The weather can be a factor.

This concert though will be only 3 weeks into autumn.

 

EDIT: apologies, AO. Meant to hit the reply button and hit the edit one instead.

in other words, it'll still be hot.

This would have been a cool concert to go to 4o years ago...maybe even 30....you know, when more than half of Who was still alive, Dylan could still be understood, Waters was still in Pink Floyd, and Neil Young was still playing with Crazy Horse.  McCartney is always a good show and the Stones are still ticking as long as Charlie Watts is still backing them so maybe I might get lucky with a twin bill of these two one day.

I'm a David Gilmour fan but I'd still pay to see Waters play Old Floyd songs.

I think Waters just wrapped up a tour recently where he played the Wall in its entirety.  Wouldn't have minded seeing that

As a former Coachella Valley resident, the first couple weeks of October should actually be pretty nice. Maybe the hottest it'll get is the mid-80s.
