I grabbed the fam tickets for tonight's Toad the Wet Sprocket/Gin Blossoms/Barenaked Ladies show. They were reasonable at $49/ea with only a few dollars extra fees and $30 parking.

I gotta say, it's a GREAT venue when the prices fall in line—clean, a few kids' activities, close bathrooms, easy access and location—but those fees go up exponentially with ticket price, which is crazy-town.

Sat on the lawn last night, for 2 $28.50 tickets wound up to be like $87 with fees. Have to pay for technology!
But Man BNL was off last night!!! Toad and Gin rocked though. Seen BNL multiple times in the past, Ed was off on his singing, it was bad.

The Gin Blossoms were great and Toad is/was boring.

Ed's certainly aged and gained some weight, so I'm not sure we'll see the same..crispness and spunk as in the past.

I thought "Big Back Yard" and "Here Together" were both excellent, though.

I agree, both those songs weren't sung by Ed. Hopefully he was just battling a cold, all I'm saying is he was off the entire night.

Since Live-Nation took over Meadowbrook, prices went through the roof! I have no desire to attend when local venues are just as good and cheaper!
