I love concerts. Even music I don't tend to listen to, always seems better at a concert.
Grew up a metal head, and 80's hair band rock. Saw just about everybody, with one exception that I will always regret - never saw AC/DC.
Always hated country until about 5 years ago. Now I've even been to CMA fest in Nashville. That was awesome! Fav Country artist, by far is Dierks Bentley. LAst concert I've seen was Dierks.

Was gearing up to see Fleetwood Mac next year in Philly until Lindsey Buckingham decided to be a 5 year old and not join in.

That wouldn't deter me as Mike Campbell, formerly a Heartbreaker, is who they replaced him with. The price is what stopped me. Sold out in a minute, the secondary market wanted way too much.
Diamond Rio last week at the count fair. Guess it would be a stretch to hope for a rock concert at the fair.
Alice Cooper is going to be at our local fair. And 5 Seconds of Summer.
Granted all the free stage artists are country.
It's "America's First Fair" going since 1765. They almost got some bums from Liverpool England to play there once, but were afraid they wouldn't draw crowds. Then the next week that band went on Ed Sullivan and, the rest is history. I think the bands went downhill from there. It's like a curse.
If they could get locals like Live, Halestorm (they did in 2013 before hitting it big), or the McCoury's of any era (Del owns property next to a friend, but they only ever use it for family reunions and storing cars; that guy's SIL graduated HS with one of the boys) it would be better.
Intelligence is knowing that a tomato is a fruit; wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad.
I like Oliva and Quesada (including Regius) a lot. I will smoke anything, though.
@Martel Alice Cooper would be a great one to go to at a fair. I had to look up 5 Seconds of Summer though.
Yeah, I'm considering it. I had to look up 5SoS, too. Not exactly my thing, but hey, not country. They've got a couple good hooks on the songs I listened to.

Boss lady says I've heard their songs and don't mind them, but I wouldn't purposely listen to them. LOL!
I don't mind country and we've been to a lot of country concerts, cause you know, we live in an area where that's all they get. But a good rock concert would be fun.
Kind of irritated, my son will be working a Def Leppard/Journey concert at the Portland Moda center at the end of September.
In Fumo Pax Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.
Girlfriend wanted to see KC and the Sunshine Band, I was thinking of mowing the yard and relaxing with cigars and bourbon afterwards. So now I'm posting in the concert thread and the grass needs mowing. Fun show, A lot of energy for a concert hall full of old folks. The band was great, KC was "pitchy" a couple of times but even so, and at 68 years old, he still took part in the choreography. https://youtu.be/uhBWquk8DK0?t=32
Oh yeah. I forgot to tell you the funny. At the concert there's a balcony and she snaps a selfie of us. She looks great in it and I look like ****. Got some lettuce on my teeth and a scab on my nose and my eyes are weird from allergies or a cold or something. She posts it to FB without ever looking at it with her glasses on. I don't find out about any of this until the ride home (she has her glasses on at this point,) she tells me about the lettuce on my teeth in the photo, she looks over at me in the car, yep, it's still on my teeth for the ride home.
Haven't been in many years. When I did it was everything from Alice Cooper (Capital Center) to The Carpenters (Wolf Trap) to Liberaci (Kennedy Center ) to Led Zeppelin (Capital Center). Oh and Stevie Ray Vaughn at George Mason University. One hell of a concert.
I've actually been to shows at all of those places! And many, many shows at the Birchmere in Alexandria. These days we catch acts at the local watering hole most every week. Last big concert I went to was a Jimmy Buffett show back in 2014 or so.
Just saw these old timers last month . was awesome.! Also saw Garth Brooks when he came to town a few years back . wife and have been to quite a few in our time. Everything from Charlie Daniels to avenged sevenfold
I saw Alter Bridge is touring with Shinedown and Sevendust.... Then I saw it is a Europe tour. I was disappointed
Team O'Donnell FTW!

I'm a huge RUSH fan. During the last two tours I followed them around and saw about 30 concerts. I'm in the picture on the inside of the R40 dvd. Being born in Detroit in the early 60's I've seen tons of bands now called classic rock. Travel about 5 or 6 times a year around the country going to shows and meeting up with friends.
Now this is not the end of the cigar. It is not even the beginning of the end of the cigar. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning of the cigar.
I gotta get me some Musician earplugs (for attending concerts) to protect what hearing I have left and keep my tinnitus from worsening. I sometimes use regular foam but I'm not happy with the music unless the music was super loud, dangerous to begin with. Any of you live music fans have any experience with or suggestions for some (basic to intermediate quality) musicians earplugs?

I don't get to many loud concerts any more but you might want to take a look at the different types of ear plugs they have for shooting. Most musicians now wear "in ear" monitors that look like ear plugs and I know there are companies that make ear plugs that same way...they form them to your ears...

At any given time the urge to sing "In The Jungle" is just a whim away... A whim away... A whim away...
Just got back with the wife from our annual festival in Vegas
If you want to bomb me send it to Tony @0patience
If you are a newbie I got Dem nachos....
Been to about 10 shows in the past couple years. I did two shows back to back last month on a Thursday and Friday night.
I have a couple more planned for this summer.
And randomly, I'm going to see Rick Springfield next month for a friends Bday. That should be... interesting.
