Make the decision for me. Do I spend $75.00 on a single Al Green concert ticket? When all the yays and nays are in I'll tallly 'em up and get it taken care of...

I saw him over the summer and it was pretty hot, I must say. He certainly still has the voice, and a tight band. I didn't pay any money though.

YES! I saw him a few years ago for 50 or 60 bucks and it was worth every penny. If you are even marginally a fan, you won't be disappointed. If you like Al a lot, you will be in heaven.

I'd pay it to see him in the UK - especially given the current exchange rate...

three months pass...

My 4th of July will be spent drinking lemonade shake-ups and sitting on a lawn by the St. Louis Arch listening to the beautiful sounds of Rev. Green. The American Dream in action.

in my town, al green is a codeword for weed.

al green walks through his set these days. score a tape of his back-in-the-day tv appearances instead--soul train, soul! dinah shore, etc

I don't pay 75 dollaz for anyone. Reincarnations of John Coltrane had BEST be charging under 50.

hehhehhehheh!

Yeah, even when B.Wilson was doing "Smile" in Newcastle, £50 saw me going "It's not going to be that good, is it?" I might stretch to that for Madonna, funnily enough, just for the spectacle and for Dawn.

i saw him 4 years ago in baltimore and i was really disappointed. he came out for like 35-40 minutes. he DID do love and happiness, which was great, but it was way too short to be worth that much money.

― peter smith (plsmith), Monday, 21 June 2004 15:52 (nineteen years ago) link

Here's to St. Louis, teeny!

― stephen morris (stephen morris), Monday, 21 June 2004 16:00 (nineteen years ago) link

he does a medley right? fuck a medley.
