This Sunday I am going to see Kari Job in Phoenix and looking forward to it. After seeing her on u tube, seeing her perform live should be all the better.

I screwed up! Springsteen played Mohegan Sun Arena May 17 & 18th of this year and I was a little over an hour away up at our place on Cape Cod with my Father. He and I have seen Bruce together at least 20 times, maybe over 30 since our first show together in 1985. We didn't go and decided instead to have a nice dinner & get a little toasted in our favorite bar in Woods Hole.
The bootleg from the shows is called The Last Dance and it's pretty ****ing good. If I had known it was the end of the tour I would have been there, I just figured he would be adding more dates! I know most of you guys don't agree with his politics, but just think of the band that's most important to you, that you've seen close to 100 times, and think of missing a great date. I've been going to his shows since 1978, seen him at the Stone Pony in Asbury Park, at the convention hall there in the middle of a blinding snow storm for one of his Christmas shows, followed him on tour from Philly, to Cleveland to Detroit, etc.. I blew it! But dinner, drinks & stories with my Dad was pretty ****ing good too!

Saw Garth Brooks here in Chicago a few weeks ago. Then a few days later we went to see Ed Sheeran with my daughter. This guy is a huge talent! That was a great show.
Chris, my daughter went with frineds to see Panic at the Disco a couple of months ago. It was a theater in Chicago with no seating. She described it as chaos but shes in love with Brendon Urie. |

Quote:
Same here Paul - except for some bleachers at the back of the hall where the parents were sitting the floor was GA! It got scary there for a while & they stopped the show twice to get people to stop pushing but they were pulling people over the barrier all night long! Good show other than that - you should go next time.

Saw Tony Joe White at a small venue about 4 years ago. He brought the house down. Saw J.J. Cale right before that. Truly a legend. Would love to see Junior Brown next.

The ONLY time that ever happened to me was when TWA screwed us by telling us the connecting flight had already left, the replacement flight A/C died, and I missed the Dead in Stockholm. Lame show anyway, and I have it on tape. The stuff I have done to not miss or get to shows on time is crazy.

Last show I saw was Lyle Lovett opening for Willie Nelson and the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl.
Lyle Lovett was great. Willie with the backing symphony was so-so. Third time I've seen him; not the best - but always a good time.

Allman Brothers about August 1995 at the then coca cola star lake amphitheater.
Well, I pulled the hot wire off the HEI so no one would swipe it. I found that I don't much care for southern rock - particularly hours of it including this medley thing that's not a song, but just Allman southern rock sound. Now that country is more electronic - I now see why I didn't like southern rock - it's just modern country ahead of its time. Anyway, I get out into my car and I blast BlackSabbath to purge the twang from my brain, at which point some drunk woman about 40 likes the music and dances dangerously close to my car to the Sabbath. Then I pull out into the lanes that that exit the parking area. This Remus in a Tempo behind me keeps neutral-dropping his Ford Tempo, and he and a crowd of drunk people surrounding me are yelling for a burn-out. It goes on for about fifteen minutes and my passenger suggests just a little one. So I pause for a slot ahead of me, crank her up and light them. The car plumes smoke, gets alittle sideways, and while still spinning, this drunk turd walks right in front of the car. So finally We get out to the main road and I had enough. Were moving now, just outta second, and cranking, and traffic just stops. I pound the brakes, and the front tires are screaming and I can feel the prop working the car straight under maximum braking. I stop about ten inches from a red Dodge Shadow America, which an image is permanently etched in my brain, and who's driver surely sucked his seat cushion up his but bracing for a colossal wallop from a T/A that he could hear screaming towards him. So, never again. My go fast cars don't even have radios anymore, and I haven't been to, nor missed attending concerts one bit. I'm a car guy, not a music guy, and for the most part I see that my interest in music was just me trying to find myself or fit in as a teen.

Nephew and assorted friends jamming in his garage in a couple of weeks in Chicago. Very informal, good guitar/bass players, couple of drummers, no one is good at vocals until after they've had enough beer.

Last one was my own band, at the Goathead Saloon in Mesa. Closed it up with "Cemetary Gates" by Pantera. Band went our separate ways a year and a half ago.
Playing live on a stage is like a drug. Not much compares. I was going to see Motley Crue this last summer on their final tour, but lost interest a few days before the show. I like the GA sections for concerts. The chaos and mayhem is all part of the fun. I might grow up one day...
