[ATTENDED: July 28, 2014] Beck
It was five years ago that S. and I saw Beck live.
For that show, I went in with lowered expectations. I thought the show was going to be a lot of Morning Phase, a mellow album he had just released, but it turned out to be a ton of fun. S. remembers it as one of her favorite concerts ever. So when I saw that he was touring and coming to Holmdel, I was excited to get tickets.
Then I saw how much they were. Tickets were over $100 for most normal seats and the front section was well over $100. So there was no way I was getting tickets for that. Then I remembered the awesome feature at PNC Bank Arts Center. If there are seats available before the show you can upgrade a lawn seat for $20. So we bought $30 lawn seats and then a few days before the show, we took advantage of the upgrade and for $20 more, we were moved to Row N!
And Row N is a great vantage point.
Needless to say, our expectations were pretty high for this. And Beck did not disappoint. Well, maybe a little. (more…)
