I was just talking to my roommates about how concert promoters have a way of hyping a show/band that can make you feel duped afterward.
Back in 1997 I saw the first OzzFest tour. It was billed as the last time Black Sabbath (w/ Mike Bordin filling in for original drummer Bill Ward) would play. The lineup included Pantera and Marilyn Manson. But then the next year they did it again, complete with the full original Black Sabbath lineup. WTF?
Flash forward to the spring of 2005. Coachella features Daft Punk closing the first night. The duo hadn't performed in the States in around 10 years and the vibe beforehand definitely told people to see them while they could. Now Daft Punk seems to perform all over the US.
Not that they weren't both great shows, and I'm glad to have seen both bands. But in retrospect the hype just wasn't real.

What a wonderful feeling to attend a concert or a festival. I really feel overwhelmed whenever I attend especially some hot events such as Ozzfest tour. These festivals, where great artist perform is a real chance that one have better not miss . I was always wondering if I would afford some ticket prices. But a friend has just found a site where to compare ticket prices for free. I’ll look for the cheapest prices because my purse is thin and can’t afford some huge prices. http://www.ticketwood.com/concerts/Ozzfest-Tickets/Tweeter-Center-at-the-Waterfront.php Tickets
