I love Martin Sexton. What a set of pipes! And his guitar playing isn’t too shabby either.
And I saw Pere Ubu in a little club back in the early 80s! They were fantastic. I had no idea they were still touring. At that time Dave Thomas was pretty heavy and sweaty. I didn't think he had this long a shelf life ahead of him.
Hem was great. First Aid Kit were okay.
A full panoply of Classical Concerts with the Kansas City Symphiny as well as their Pops concerts featuring Sheena Easton at one, then just two weeks ago, say The Texas Temors in Concert.
I saw the Eagles (the band not the football team) at Madison Square Garden. Awesome show!
Just System of a Down at the Hollywood Bowl. Awesome. I’ve never heard MORE people singing along to everything in my life.
Check out Il Divo, the four guys that Simon Cowell put together. Beautiful operatic voices and they sing pop songs, among others, have a wonderful sound and aren’t bad to look at. My daughter and I have been to two of their concerts and plan to go to St. Louis in April to the Peabody Opera House to see them again. They have never disappointed us.
The Monkees

Give me time and I may recall more
The culture has been subverted by socially retarded liberals.
They no longer create. They re-create or re-cast or re-imagine.
Reboot comics, reboot movie franchises, adapt movies for Broadway, cover albums, etc.
I saw Dave Thomas and Cheetah Chrome in a Rocket From The Tombs revival a few years back. I heard rumors of another one but then nothing.
I don’t understand why Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings don’t own the world.
