How far would you travel to see a concert?

[Maddy McCall]

I would travel to Dallas or to Birmingham, and probably to Memphis or Orlando, to see a good concert.

In other words, at the max, I'd drive 10 hours to see a band I REALLY want to see.

I've never driven more than four hours to a concert, though.

How far would you drive to see a band you really want to see? How far have you driven to do so?

1. traveled from CA to Woodstock in 69

[Maddy McCall]

4. Wow.

Yeah, I probably would have done that, too.

What memories you must have!

21. Only drove from Ohio to Woodstock, a mere 700 miles or so ...

[GOPisEvil]

2. 3 hours or so.

I've driven to Houston from San Antonio before. That's my limit. Maybe I'd go to Dallas which is closer to 4 hours. Thankfully, with a lot of major cities within driving distance, I can catch just about any show. But then I tend to like smaller acts that actually come to Austin. :)

3. I drove from Columbia, South Carolina to Cleveland, Ohio....

To see 16 Horsepower, it was worth it. Long ass drive though.

[WCGreen]

11. Pussy, you can make it ten hours if you fly....

Driven that route before many times.....

Me, I drove straight through From Denver to Cleveland to open a democratic party stand at the county fair....

24 hours, yea baby

[aquaman]

13. Pussy?

I am rubber, you are glue, whatever you say, bounces off of me and sticks on you. :)

[WCGreen]

14. Good, I haven't had any......

Good glue for a while......

commiserating .... It's a grueling trip ....

[Syrinx]

5. Nashville is the farthest I've been

What's that, about 5 hours I guess. I'd be willing to go farther though.

[Viking12]

6. Can't quantify the miles logged to see the Dead....

many miles, many states, many states of mind....

[Wickerman]

7. I've flown to several shows, longest drive?

8 hrs years ago. Not uncommon to drive 4 or 5.

[leftofthedial]

8. 4200 miles

one way

[sasquatch]

9. I've considered flying to England to see Motorhead live

[Emops]

10. Two years ago

I drove from Dayton, OH to Toronto to see the SARS benefit concert w/ The Rolling Stones and Rush.

[sleipnir]

12. If the Rolling Stones played the Moon, I'd go there.

Jumpin' Jack Flash, live from a crater. Damn, that'd be hot.

[argyl]

15. Denton to Austin I'll do once or twice a year.Seen Steve Earle and

Neko Case so far this year.They were both in Dallas the night before so I could have seen them there but I need a reason to get to Austin every now and again.

Farthest I've gone was to Seattle last year where I saw Steve Earle with his bluegrass lineup at the Woodland Park Zoo Amphitheatre. Well, I was there for almost three weeks so I didn't go there just to see the show but it was a nice evening before going to the San Juans.

Got some vacation time I need to use or lose along with some bucks I need to spend before November in my Travelocity account so I may go to San Francisco to see the two day Hardly Bluegrass Festival in October in Golden Gate Park.Awesome lineup and it's a FREE event.

[biscodawg]

16. I've flown to see the disco biscuits

in philly from california twice.

[LeftyMom]

17. I've gone 3 hours away a lot

That would be my limit for most shows. I'd manage to drag myself down to LA, an 8 hour drive away, for something really special.

[OffWithTheirHeads]

18. My 1st apartment was 2 blocks from Fillmore West

My current condo is two blocks from the San Jose arena. I saw so many concerts at the first place (admission $3.00) that I won't walk two blocks to see another one.(admission $300.00 +-)

[New Earth]

19. i've travelled to Minnesota

and Milwaukee - those two states the furthest I've gone for a concert. just last month actually.

but i would, if i had the money, travel as far as i had to see them a million more times :)

[WCGreen]

20. New Orleans......

[Spider Jerusalem]

22. That depends on who's playing.

I'd drive a thousand miles to see David Bowie in concert. Furthest I HAVE driven, though, was about 450 (from Atlanta to Clarksdale, Mississippi, for a blues fest last year and the year before).
