I always seem to run into problems with seeing Cheap Trick...they're always the opening act to some band I really hate, like Def Leppard, and I never get to see them because I refuse to pay Def Leppard to see Cheap Trick.
I did that a couple of years ago...we paid to see Modest Mouse and The National, but REM gets all the money. We left 3 songs into Stipe's AWFUL set. We heard later we missed Eddie Vedder coming on stage. I mean missed in the sense of missing another car and avoiding a crash.
