Raleigh Entertainment and Concerts
Here’s more summer fun information…from the Raleigh real estate team of Rick Freeman and Amy Davis at Allen Tate in the Triangle.
We’re well into the summer concert season here in Raleigh and some great shows are coming up over the next few weeks. One of my favorite ongoing series is the North Hills Midtown Beach Music Concert Series at The Commons at North Hills Shopping Center. Hometown favorites The Embers will perform this Thursday (6/17) from 6:00 until 9:00.
The Embers show is free as are all the North Hills summer events (The Entertainers perform next week) but if you want to spend some money, The Eagles are at the RBC Center the same night. I just looked online and Ticketmaster still has some really good seats available ranging from about $70.00 to just under $200.00 for up-close seats on the floor. The Eagles are playing shows across the country and ticket sales have been far less than was expected. The Eagles show at Nationals Park in D.C. was cancelled (allegedly due to a scheduling conflict) and the band is instead playing at the smaller Hersheypark Stadium in Pennsylvania.
Slow sales is a fact that I could not be more thrilled about. While the Eagles are a great band and very talented singers, they are not really entertainers. Unless a concert is going to be a true entertainment experience, I see no need in paying more than the cost of a DVD or iTunes download. If you remember, The Eagles were the first band in history to charge more than $100 for a concert. So, that being said, I’m voting Embers over Eagles this week.
A couple of other shows coming up:

Time Warner Cable Music Pavilion at Walnut Creek - Friday 6/25 7:00 PM Rascal Flatts
