Hope you have a great time. As for roadies tuning up.....I took the BA to see 3oh!3 two weeks ago. There were no roadies. Just a guy with an apple notebook and a microphone. When the 'band' came on they had two more microphones. Times have changed. Still, I enjoyed being the hip mother up the back bopping along to the mother f*****' lyrics.

I promise that going to concerts gets easier. Kids get bigger and without inebriated post concert action, you are home at a reasonable time. Just make it a priority. It is something that you really love and they don't happen that often. I am lucky as I am close to good venues. Also, there is no shame in going alone if need be.
