Thinking on and off about Udhay's 'what do you splurge on' thread, I realised I've spent good money to get to concerts. What have been your memorable ones?
2009 - Paul McCartney "Good Evening London" - by far the best concert ever. Me and the missus borrowed money from her parents to pay for the tix, we were living in Oxford). 2019 - U2, Mumbai (travelled from Delhi) 2018 - Judas Priest, Mountain View 2008 - Ian Anderson, Anoushka Sharma, New Delhi 2002 - Deep Purple, Mumbai 2002 - Pandit Shiv Shankar Sharma & Ustad Zakir Hussain Regrets - haven't been to any good Carnatic concerts, missed Mark Knopfler and Iron Maiden when they came to Bangalore, gave away tickets I'd won to No Doubt in Bangalore 1998 in exchange for a t-shirt. Also came just short of going to a Paul Simon at Queen's concert in 2018 (apparently his last one). -- *Get your 'vaccine' from 'fake news', lies, half-truths, manipulated truths, propaganda and general B.S. at my media buddhi newsletter <https://mediabuddhi.substack.com/>.* H R Venkatesh Director, Training and Research, BOOM <https://www.boomlive.in/> John S.
