Last concert?


Don't consider Sammy Hagar at Cabo Wabo a concert but guess it is. His birthday is fun if you like Sammy.

Peter Buck, REM fame, has played Todos at the music fest in 2013. Hotel California too. REM fan since '80.

NOB: Dwight Yokum, Fox theater, Bakersfield, last year. Beach Boys, Greek theater, LA, next month.





US Marines: providing enemies of America an opportunity to die for their country since 1775.

What I say before any important decision.
F*ck it.

I was thinking it would be fun to go see the Dead &co at the sphere this summer. Then i looked at the prices. No thanks.
I grew up seeing rock shows for about $10 or less!
In 1979 I paid $8 to see the Dead in Seattle, festival seating. Now the few Dead survivors want $400 for a ticket!
In 1980 I saw the Ramones at the Showbox (seattle) for $7.

I refuse to pay current prices for dinosaur bands and latest pop.

Last few concerts have been musical theater or some orchestral/singer events at Rady shell…. Good entertainment, and less expensive than big rock shows these days that have ridiculous high prices.

Greed killed rock and roll.

The Todos Santos Music Festival was fun while it lasted. Peter Buck sure has a lot of talented friends!

Our last concert was Low Cut Connie at the City Winery in Boston in February. It was a solo performance in an intimate setting, which is about all my tinnitus can handle these days. Here on Cape Cod, the big trend is "tribute bands." I'd rather play the real thing at home.

August: John Fogerty @ Thunder Valley $500/seat ridiculous

Oct: David Gilmore @ Hollywood Bowl Don't care how much, each note is thought out and perfect

Nov: Joe Bonamassa SacTown $300ish, each note is random but within a theme and perfect

Nov: Joanne Shaw Taylor $100 First for us

Great to see everyone's experiences.

Music feeds my soul. Live music is even better. I don't value pleasure based on cost but that's just me. Priceless IMEO. :saint:

Full disclosure the Gypsy Kings is free because our friend has been their accountant for 45 years..........:coolup:

FYI - Rady Shell is an excellent venue with great sound and setting against San Diego Bay. They have a variety of performances there for all types of music fans. We saw Bonnie Raitt there last year with Mavis Staples.

Next month we will also see a jazz concert - Miles Davis Kind Of Blue. Tickets still available. :D

Whatever you like get out there while you can!

My friend and I went to see Gipsy Kings in 2023, in Istanbul! It was wonderful!

The last song included the newest, youngest musician joining the group - one of the sons.

Doobie Bros. “Live at the Wolf Trap” download, glass of wine at my elbow as the jet swings out from SJD and towards another Pacific sunset and then homeward bound to a snow globe world.

My hearing apparatus needs protection from all those past concerts…Santana, Yes, King Crimson, Dire Straits, Tito Puente, Neville Bothers, won tickets for meet and greet with Dwight Yoakam prior to the concert in the Swift Current, Sask. Canadian Tire parking lot, Tom Cochrane, getting lost in Havana after the International Jazz Festival, Colin James, Holly Cole, Ian Tyson, Jesse Cook, Ziggy Marley, Steve Earle, Chantal Kreviazuk, Lucas Nelson and others long forgotten…Oh, but what I would give to see the Gypsy Kings one day!

It's been a few years since I went to a concert. I think the last one was Pam Tillis performing at the Alaska state fair. It was an out-door concert, and she was amazed that when it started to drizzle rain, almost no one got up and left!

About the same time, I was able to hear Leo Kottke perform solo in a more intimate environment. He is truly a master of the guitar!

By the way, Leo is still touring and performed here in Grass Valley CA recently!




If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

Totally forgot, saw the Cure at the Hollywood Bowl last May 2023. Took all 3 kids, they love the Cure. Wife and I saw them around 2018 at the Bowl.

He still sounds fantastic. Crowd was a great mix of old and young.

My first concert was CSNY at Boston Garden in 1974. My last concert was the Santa Rosa Symphony at Weil Hall. In between, too many to remember and too many forgotten to mention.
Keep in mind that concerts were to support album releases. The bands made some money but they were primarily to sell the albums and merchandise. Today, music is basically free so concert income supports the artists.

Back in the mid-00's my wife's company rented out the entire Anaheim Pond for a holiday party. They flew people in from all over the US.

Jay Leno did a bit and then the Brian Setzer Orchestra played. It was quite the bash.
