Either, because the concert is in someway special (like the 30th anniversary, or MJ & Friends), or my friends over in England want to see Michael Jackson with me. I'm over in England quite alot, I've got family, friends and business there, so it's no biggy for me to go to England for a weekend.

200 people crowded into the Dame on Friday for the show. A lot of the people I talked to were followers of the Minneapolis groups of the early/mid 90s, i.e. Trip Shakespear, the Replacements, the Jayhawks.  Louris and Olson were great, I was maybe 20 feet from the stage perched on a wood bench. This one dude lit his Bic lighter, but he was the only one, lol.

The Monkee's-1987
Hall and Oates- 2002
Duran Duran- Still waiting

I haven't been to a pop concert for years.  One of the last groups I saw was The Stranglers.  I have also seen Showaddywaddy (with me dad!), Gary Glitter, The D.amned, Doctor and the Medics, Duran Duran, Depeche Mode, Toyah and King  Have dim memories of seeing The Cramps as well.  that's all I can remember for now.  The local Student's Union used to have some good concerts on so I went fairly regularly
