The original Alice in Chains.

Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young in Indianapolis... I drove all the way down there and had my ticket, but the ticket booth closed like 5 minutes before i got there and we couldn't get in. So I sat between two cars in the parking lot, got high, and took in the sounds from the outside. Still quite unfortunate though.

But my big regret is not being able to see Slint play Spiderland.

All the good shows around here are 21+ cause they're played at bars or clubs...

Man, that really sucks. What kind of bullshit is that anyway? I've never been to a show where the ticket booth just closed like that. Damn Indy.

Even though im not that big of a fan, i regret not seeing Muse at a festival the year before last. They were headlining the first night but unfortunatly i had drank quite a lot and passed out, something i'm not very proud of

I also had the chance to see The Chemical Brothers last year at another festival but i was dragged to see The Raconteurs instead.

I also missed Sigur Ros at a festival another year because they were on at the same time as Rodrigo Y Gabriella and i hadn't quite got into Sigur Ros at that point so i went with my friends to see Rodrigo Y Gabriella, who were still amazing.

Im pissed I missed art brut before their catalog was clogged with the mediocrity of the last album (and from what Ive heard, the new one as well)

And I missed Jay Reatard playing with the Tamp-offs in October. Double-lame.

Yeah well, in all fairness, I showed up late. I guess it's sort of my fault. Even from outside the ampitheatre they sounded amazing. Perfect harmonies on everyhting.

I waited too long to buy my ticket for Opeth when they played in Vancouver in October, I was so pissed off at myself.

You should go anyway, you'll regret it if you don't. Just start studying early.
