I love small venues with a real talented artists.
I was at the Rolling Stones 1981 outdoors in Boulder Co. WOW !!
George Thorogood and Heart as the front bands.
We had General Admission seats but found our way into the Skyboxes before the Stones came on stage. Now kicked out we sought out floor access in the crush.
I can’t tell you how many times I had “nose bleed” seats and found my way to the front.
Yes, rock is dying.
Music is dying.
Rock is an expression of the Blues and the “blues” are being replaced with a government safety net.
There where a number of talented artists that saw this a long time ago.
Here is just one:

“Rock is an expression of the Blues”
I love Rock but as a teen in the mid 70s I followed the great Whiteboy Electric Blues groups and followed the Great Black Electric Blues Musicians.
Rory Gallagher,Roy Buchanan,Savoy Brown,Johnny Winter,Buddy Guy,Albert Guy,John Lee Hooker,BB King
Then I fell into the Bluegrass, and I loved the bluegrass.
Bikers, Old, come and take it moonshiners, black people, young people old people, fundamentalists, hippies.
It’s just the way I roll.
Try to find that on the radio dial
