I would prefer bluegrass to Hall and Oates or 3 Doors Down.Yep, "The Earl Scruggs Revue" was pretty good too ....well....if you like bluegrass every now and then. I bet Guiss loves bluegrass.
Jordan Mills on choosing Tech:
“It’s a great experience seeing them play. It was a good atmosphere. The fans stood up the whole game and never sat down. They have a great fan base.”
Well, you're in luck. There's a bluegrass festival in Cochran in May....south of Macon.
There are lots of bluegrass festivals in Atlanta. One of my good friends plays in a local bluegrass band.

The one they did at Tech was pretty much the "Live at Kansas State" album. If I remember right Vasser Clements was on the fiddle and one of Earl's boys was on the bass. This guy here is pretty good but he's no Vasser Clements:

You are gonna get so many green dots from Vegasdawg and Austindawg for posting those.
Good concerts are hard to come by anywhere. I remember when I was a teenager there were some excellent shows in Baton Rouge. Now there is virtually none.
I was at the ZZ Top concert in the spring of '77 if I remember correctly. First concert that the UB charged for, $2, at that time. When did the Eagles, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Hall & Oates come to Tech?
Little River Band put on a great show and so did Harry Chapin. LeRoux wasn't bad either. Manfred Mann's live show sounded just like their radio play!
we have a good one this year. its tyler read, chevelle, and seether. but what I dont get is why is it on a thursday, why not have it on a friday night when everybody is free?
Union Board pretty much always plans the Spring Concert for a Thursday. Possibly because (alot of) students leave on weekends. I remember being in the dorm...pretty much empty b/c folks went home.
I remember someone explaining (around 1980) that the price of concerts changed dramatically about 78 or 79. They said even big groups were reasonable before then, and then suddenly every group wanted a bundle. They tried to bring in Foreigner around 80, and they wanted something like $40K (a lot then) and their contract said they could take the money and walk if they didn't like the venue. Yikes.
That was about the time where good concerts (almost all up to then were free or $1-$2) became rare. I missed Harry Chapin my frosh year. Still kick myself about that one.
Not to rub it in, but you did miss a good one.
I saw Styx (Mr. Roboto Tour) and Chicago at the TAC and they were good but the concerts in the old Memorial Gym had more feeling to them. It was just a better "experience".
