To appreciate good live music, you should really go to an amphitheater. Going to an indoor sporting arena is one of the worst places to see live music. I haven't been to the ford center for a concert, but have been to hundreds of shows at Arco arena aka Echo arena(and many others like it in CA). Even old play theaters turned to music venues have better sound than most of the sporting arenas, but the bigger acts are hard to see there(when they can easily sell thousands of tickets rather than hundreds). I have also had the fortune of seeing a few big names at small initmate venues and it was awesome. Live music, when at the right venue, with a good sound engineer is 100 fold better than anything recorded. YMMV I've probably been to at least a thousand live shows in my lifetime so far adn while I dont remember everyone it allowed me to see experience some truly great musicians and opened my eyes to ones I had never heard of before

A capella is awesome. That bass is rediculous good.

For those who can appreciate this type music, another good group. They do a great version of "Little Drummer Boy" for Christmas.



For Lurker and some of the others.

Agreed. I was lucky enough to be stationed in Honolulu during the mid 70s and some some great shows.

Guess I am the only one here that can appreciate different styles of music. Your loss.

I am a fan of acappella its just my opinion that the ring of fire cover was horrible.

Oops. Now that you've mentioned that, I have to confess to being a liar. There was a third concert which was to see Mannheim Steamroller at the "old" Civic Center there in OKC. I'm thinking it was a Christmas special, but I couldn't swear by it. That concert was a lot better, likely because of the venue. Thanks for reminding me.

I'm a huge Cash fan. I thought that was great.

Considering that today is the birthday for the Marines and that tomorrow is Veteran's Day, I'll post this one. Five young ladies doing a superb job with the national anthem.
