She's not that good! We will never go back. Next time we'll just head back to Baltimore.

Are you kidding me? You come to an online forum to cry about a FREE concert? Yes beer at any event is over priced, however most bars sell Bud light 12oz for 2-3 bucks you get 18oz at DTL for 5! It is not that much of an over charge the show is free, deal with it.

OH and if you were there they said at the beginning of the night that the show was running a little behind due to one of the bands getting in town late.

DTL is great... I love what DeepSouth and 96Rock have done to offer us a FREE concert giving us something to do on a Saturday afternoon. I am sure have 10-15k people downtown helps the local companies out as well.

Guess I'm not hick enough for this forum. Please excuse me. You Rubes think just because it's free means it should suck? Welcome to NC, I guess. Wasn't like that in B-More!!(free or not)

I think we should just feel good that there is a place for these has beens and one hit wonders to play. They can't fill big venues anymore, so they need these little gigs. It can be fun to see what these people from the distant past look like now, even though they sound even worse than before.

Wow, the derogatory comments really help your cause.

It seems that many people who are on this forum also went to the event. They have a different opinion that yours.

And I still can't understand how a true Sam Adams drinker would pay any amount for a Bud Light.

B-more, huh? The last time I was there, some kid tried to clean the windshield of my car while I was stopped at a red light. After he "cleaned" it with two swipes of his squeegee, he wanted me to pay him. I said no and he tried to open the door of my car! I slammed the door shut and then the light luckily turned green.

I told that story to show that not every city is perfect. And using slang to disrespect residents of a city is not a good way to make yourself and former city look better. But I should expect such attitudes from an Orioles fan.
