And I'm probably going to sound like an old geezer.  But I need to bitch about something. 

I went to a concert tonight.  Keith Urban and Taylor Swift.  I won't say how much the tickets were, let's just say they were a considerable amount.  I don't know the hierarchy of road crews, so I don't know who is responsible for the sound system.  Whoever it is ought to get his or her ass fired for incompetence.  The sound quality was absolutely horrendous.  Loud I expect.  I love loud music.  I love loud live music.  What I don't love is listening to a sound system that sounded like listening to a radio station that isn't quite tuned in.  It reminded me of those I-have-a-big-dick car stereo systems.  Too much bass makes my butt buzz, and not in a good way.  Vibrators are one thing, but when my ass buzzes because the sound causes the wheelchair frame to vibrate, well, it just pisses me right off.

That being said, it was after all a Keith Urban concert.  So how bad could it be?  This is the seventh time I've seen him in concert, and it just freaking never gets old. 

Plus it was a Mimi-mother-and-daughter girls night out.  We tend to be more than a little irreverent -- more about that in a future blog -- and she makes me laugh so hard, I practically tinkle in my pants.  Either way, it was a night for butt-related issues.

    Lucky Mimi - the Keith Urban part, not the butt buzzing part - LOL!
     
    Hope you had a good time despite the buzzing - Wishy

    Keith Urban is a hottie.  I hope you were close enough to catch some of his sweat.  That might make the butt buzzing a little more forgivable.  :-)

    I'm glad it was a great girls night out for you and your daughter.

    Sorry for the bad vibrations and fuzzy sound but happy for you that you and your daughter were able to get out and rock it! Way to go Mimi!

    you're absolutely right.  for the prices they charge for concerts you are entitled to decent sound quality.  you kind of got ripped off.  they didn't meet the minimum standards.  it was their responsibility to do so.  what i'd do in that situation is write a letter of complaint to the venue and expect something in return from them.  if i was annoyed enough i'd even consider filing a complaint with the better business bureau.  everyone takes the bbb extremely seriously.  and the venue really does deserve it.  it's not right to rip people off like that.  they'll just keep doing it, won't they.

    Ugh I hate when people don't know what they're doing with a sound system, it annoys the living crap out of me.  Glad you were able to enjoy it anyway and had such a good time with the girls.  I haven't been to a concert in so long purely because I'm not willing to give up my arm, both legs and the possibility of growing any of them back, lol.
  • GracieLee said on Jun 06, 2009....
    yeah me too hedgie.  i don't go to concerts cause they cost too damn much.  the only one i went to all this year was for $25 to see a good folk singer.  that's about my speed.  then you pay another $10 or $15 for the food.

    ROFLMAO ~ Missy you had a goodnight regardless of the butt itch inducing sound system.  Last time I went to a concert? IDK.. or remember.

    I had a really loud kick-ass sound system in my pick-up in the seventies...

    but it didn't help my dick at all.

    You're so funny, mimi. You should write a book about your life, I'd buy it in a minute.

    ......goodness precious, lady! Another concert!!....You and that Keith....come on, admit your torrid love story and let be it.

    Nicole, adieau!@.....lol.. 

    A butt buzz.......priceless......*giggling my thong off*

    Hey, did he sing this song too?......Love it.

    queenie, believe it or not, there are fans who travel from city to city following the tour.  At least I don't do that.  I wasn't too sure what I would think about Taylor Swift.  Turns out she's a terrific performer.

    ss, yes, it was still a lot of fun.  The eye candy factor outweighs the bad sound system.  ;-)

    wishy, it was a good time despite the butt thumping and buzzing.  :)

    CDub, he does go up into the audience during his show, but I never seem to be able to be where he is.  If I was close enough to get hit by a drop of sweat, I'd likely hyperventilate and faint.  :-D

    woman, it's become a tradition for us.  We've driven as far as Nashville to see him in concert.  I know, I know, I'm a loon...

    gracie, i wasn't sure if it was the sound system, or bad acoustics at the venue.  But I've seen him at the same place before and I don't remember the sound being a problem.

    Hege, well, yes, it was pretty expensive.  It's an extravagance for sure.

    Gracie, parking's very expensive too.  We parked about a half mile from the arena and the parking was 10 bucks.  Closer was just too much money for a parking space.

    Lu, yeah, it was a good night.  My butt's made of sturdy stuff -- it can take the buzzing.  LOL

    Oh beyond...  that's just my way of poking fun at my son's friends whose trucks thump down the street and make my windows rattle.  I dunno how funny it is -- I just tell it like I see it.  :)

    gingerpeach, yes, he did do that song, it's always a favorite.  Alas, I'm probably too much woman for him to handle.  But if I was 15 years younger and single...  well, 15 years younger anyway...  ;-)

    Well, I have never worked for Keith Urban but I used to do road shows (or at least from the venues) and that does suck.  There is nothing like a good concert that has bad technical issues.  I am glad that you had a good time with your daughter though.  Sounds like an overall positive experience.
