That's me waving, about the middle of the video, flanked by my handsome son, gorgeous wife, and three of nine wonderful grandchildren! Didn't want to go home... Life is grand. :-)
Thanks for asking!
I went to see the Dead Kennedys, with their “new” singer who took over for Jello Biafra. I wasn’t expecting much, but the new singer represented himself well.
Steely Dan and Steve Winwood
Rod Stewart and (ugh)Cyndi Lauper
Lynard Skynnyrd
Todeschi Trucks Band
Marc Broussard
Yes
And my own family bands:
The Quins
The Robins
The Memory Keepers
and I DID a few concerts myself! LOL! :-)
WSMFP
Ritchie Kotzen
Iron Maiden and Ghost
Kreator
Megadeth
Testament
Cody Canada and the Departed
Whiskey Meyers
Blackberry Smoke
Jason Boland and the Stragglers.
It was a good year.
I just saw Dead and Co in Charlotte. If yo you had told me that John Mayer would replace Jerry Garcia and that they would be as good or better than ever, I would have asked you to pass over what you were smoking. John Mayer is awesome with them and it was great.
Joe Bonamassa
KD Lang
Several broadway shows (off Broadway)
Dirty Dancing
Phantom of the Opera
Cinderella
The Who
Rod Stewart and (ugh) Cindy Lauper as someone else said
Bob Seger before he had to cancel the rest of the tour. He was great.
Pete Townsend at Lincoln Center doing Quadrophenia. It was fun but different. A cello and bassoon just don’t capture teenage angst like an electric guitar can.
Shillelagh Law tomorrow night.
The local symphony orchestra rocked the house with Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto.
That’s it for 2017 for me.
Paul McCartney came to town this summer. I would have liked to go but I refuse to pay $400 per ticket to sit in the nosebleed section.
Jamie Johnson in Los Angeles.
Yesterday and Today, LOL!!!
I used to play with these guys for a bit. We’re you able to sit thru the whole thing?
How’d you like “drunken pirate - can’t sing on key to save my grandchildrens lives” John Lennon?
Lol again...
Celtic Women
Carolina Uprising (CDB, Marshall Tucker etc).
Frankie Valli
Blondie/Garbage
Lindsey Buckingham/Christine McVie
Poison with Extreme and Jackyl
And a bunch of other local Band shows.
Most of the concerts of the Seattle Chamber Music Festival this past summer.
The only one I saw this year was Three Dog Night at Statton mountain under the tent. I was never a big fan but I will say they rocked the house and it was great. I went with my wife and 20 something kids and everyone loved it.
I attended concerts by the U.S. Army Band, “Pershing’s Own”, three times this past year.
1) Mozart Symphony No. 41
2) Grieg Piano Concerto
I saw Joe Jackson in Clearwater, FL. I was never a huge fan on his in the 80s, but I enjoyed the concert.
Justin Hayward, Blue Oyster Cult, America, Don McLean
