This might be the best year ever —

Margo Price is playing a couple hours up the road for free in June, so that might be a go

Tickets now obtained for The Cure in June, The National on both August 11th and 12th, Filter/Ministry/Alice Cooper/Rob Zombie September 16th, Peter Gabriel on October 16th, & Depeche Mode on November 16th. I wonder if we can cram anything else in there.

Thanks! I saw that - pretty exciting for us!

 This lineup is amazing. We're going to catch them in June at Fiddler's Green. 


That show (Fiddler's Green) is on our 25th anniversary, so it had a lot of appeal considering Disintegration was playing on our first date, but the bowl was hard to pass!

Never been to the bowl and have missed the Cure multiple times since the 80’s.

Wilco is coming to Ruth Eckerd in Clearwater. Venue is probably 50 years old so pretty paid off.
Tickets are $73.25+fees  for upper left x 2 plus parking.   Seemed like a lot for a simple stage show with no lights, dancing girls or circus elephants.
So I checked Birmingham, AL - 66.50 + fees for similar seats. Orlando was $57.80+ fees.
So sad to get ripped off to see live shows in my own town.



I'm trying to fend off my old-fart perspective by relating things to tank-fulls of petrol (accepting the cost of petrol is another thing). So it basically costs me around $110 to fill my tank +/- say $20 depending on how far I run it down. So when we took a friend out for a meal with a couple of drinks each it was only around a tank per person, so not horrible, right?

I hate to say it, but that's pretty much what concerts cost now. Over the last couple of years, they've pretty much doubled. Sometimes more. We balked at a Blink 182 show last summer because tickets were $325/per for the nosebleeds.

That show is next on my list.  April 22 in Birmingham.  Very excited.  Awesome venue.   We have so many smaller venues that are great.  Iron City, too.  That's where I'm seeing BHT.  And the tickets are usually way reasonable.

Spend the money. That band is 100% firing on all cylinders right now. I thought they were amazing 15 years ago but the show a few months ago was stunning.

forgot to mention that i saw maxi priest about a month ago
small venue with a great band
worthy

also this past sat we saw mostly a track show (opening acts)
112 and en vogue (talented vocalists but i'm not a fan of track shows, would rather see a live band)
the headliner was stephanie mills
super talented but past her prime (she did have a fantastic band and back up singers)

I saw him back in the day. New Orleans Riverboat. He was so disinterested that he literally did Cars holding a can of Coke and sipping from it between verses.

It's probably that standard arc: made famous by a song, 
hate that you're only famous for a single tune, 
go off on a tangent, 
realize that you made a damned good song and people enjoy it so you might as well live it up - you've had more hit songs than most people ever will, 
do victory lap.

A friend said he saw Gary Numan open for Huey Lewis (back in the day) 
Vince is 75 so yeah, hurry. Al is def. scruffy but just 64.  I'm amused by how chatty he is here

I always keep an eye out for bands the whole family might like, which is a challenge, but never thought this would be the one they were stoked about. If it had been Mumford and Sons, Augusta would want to go. Charlie discovered Gorillaz at some point but they toured last year.  

I've never seen Alice Cooper. Some live videos are pretty small-clubby and that would be cool but I think a big stage production would be more fun. And yeah it'll be cool to not have to worry about people stepping on the little kids. 

I have to dig thru my 45s and see if I still have that Gary Numan picture sleeve. 



The girls' taste is as wide-ranging as mine, so we try to just go to as many as we can.

I've never seen him/them, either and I've always wanted to. That's sort of what precipitated the whole thing - Vince ain't gettin' any younger and how the hell is Uncle Al still alive, anyway?

I cannot imagine how loud that is going to be, but I'm jealous. Our concert-viewing is going to be nutso this year, so I'm not going to beat myself up about it. Isbell, The National (twice
),  the Filter/Ministry/Alice Cooper/Rob Zombie show (with Claire and Jensen) and today we learned we'll likely be seeing Depeche Mode in late fall. Plus, maybe Beartrap will follow through with something decent?

Claire was just gushing the other day over her first concert being Bob Dylan - she's still a big fan. We've taken them to A LOT of shows and it's pretty cool that we now all get to go as adults. We had a mild shock of realization a couple of weeks ago that for the first time in 13 years we don't have a teenager in the house.
