What do you ask?
A suggestion...carefully read your posts before pushing the little button.
Too many loud concerts have addled my brain!
I’m showing my age lol, I only recognize Dwight Yoakam and Mike Nesmith from your list. In 2012 saw the Beach Boys in Irvine, CA and Columbia, MD.
Devo
Blondie
I listen to a lot of obscure music.
Very nice!
There was a fat guy playing a guitar at a cafe I ate at back in June if that counts.
I attended a few concerts of classical music at the Spoleto Festival in Charleston on Memorial Day weekend. Last Sunday I saw the Ehnes String Quartet play in Macon. Long drive, but worth the trip.
Didn’t hit as many this year. Still had plenty of fun seeing:
Social Distortion
Young Dubliners
Zappa Plays Zappa
Iron Maiden
Joe Walsh
plus a few purely local Tucson bands, including some tomorrow.
I took my teenage daughter and her friends to the Pink Floyd Experience (a tribute band) and was impressed. The played the whole Wish You Were Here album in the first half of the show.
Saw the Moody Blues last week.....only three of the original group left. The drummer is 71. They were good, but I felt like I was watching what may be one of their last shows.
It says 2012, not 1982...
Doobie Brothers at the “intimate” Celebrity Theatre in Phoenix.
