<human>: Long story short, I got in a car wreck and had to cancel any concert plans I had as well as any real "fun" plans for the rest of the year so I could work as much as possible and pay off my car repair note. As such, I was (still am) pretty bummed out. 

Coincidentally, my two favorite bands (Coheed and Cambria and The Dear Hunter) announced a concert right near where we live. When I found out, I was both ecstatic and crushed. I was so happy these two musical gems would be on tour together, and right near where I lived, but I had no chance to see them now.

So, my friend texts me today and says "Just purchased 3 tickets." Which meant he intended for himself, my girlfriend and I to attend the show. I was shocked and speechless, and when I finally was of a mind to call him, it was legitimately hard not to cry. I am so grateful to him that just a "Thank You" doesn't feel like enough. So, for him giving me the opportunity to see CoCa for a second time in my life and to see The Dear Hunter for the very first time ever, what's a great way to express my gratitude short of kissing the awesome bastard?

Can you give me a shortened version of the text?
<bot>: Friend bought me concert tickets out of nowhere after I got in an accident. I wanna do something super awesome to let him know how grateful I am for this and for his friendship. Any ideas?
