Concerts - What are you seeing this year?

[DaveP043]

I left one out, early this summer we went toa  small club downtown and saw Nick Lowe (played in Rockpile, produced for Elvis Costello and others) play with Los Straitjackets.

Concert/Show wise when the NFR came to town in December, my wife would buy tickets for the various headliners shows. George Strait, and Reba McEntire were always on that list. I assume the NFR still comes here. Not sure if these folks are still performing these days. 

Every so often we will go to local, small clubs to see/listen to what's left of some of the old "Classic Rock" groups. "The Guess Who" was the last one we went to. 

We frequently go to local comedy clubs and comedy shows on the LV Strip.

Our next concert/show we attend will be whomever we run into next.

I read two things about some old-timer concerts today:

• Eric Clapton is a shell of his former self, a husk. His show stinks.
• Bruce Springsteen rocks his balls off, and even if you're not a Bruce fan, you should attend a concert if you get the chance.

I've always wanted to see Billy Joel and he plays once a month at Madison Square Garden. I guess I'll pick a date and go. Just a train ride away.

Big Bad Voodoo Daddy has some tour dates "in the area" sometime in December/January. That will take a little more planning if I want to go see them.

So far this year we've seen The Church, The Lemonheads, and Perry Farrell.  The Church were amazing, The Lemonheads seemed bored and uninterested, and Perry Farrell was just a ball of awesome-crazy. 

We also saw Bert Kreischer's live comedy show, and I laughed so hard that I physically hurt. 

I think we've blown our concert wad for the year.

I saw Elvis Costello and Blondie a few weeks ago. Excellent show. Heading to the Big Blues Bender blues festival in Las Vegas next week. Too many artists to list, but you can see the lineup at bigbluesbender.com

Going to see the Amazons in November. Really good British band.

We've been to more concerts this year than we normally go to. Nils Lofgren, Dave Mason/Steve Cropper, Rickie Lee Jones, Al Green, Santana/Doobie Brothers were all pretty memorable. But I most enjoyed seeing my favorite male and female singers within a span of a few weeks, David Gray and Anita Baker.

My wife and I went to see my son play with The Dee Snider Band at Rockfest in Barcelona in July.  We can be seen up on the left side of the stage.  My son Nick is the long haired guitarist also stage left.   Quite an overwhelming experience to be up here with them watching almost 50,000 people.

So far this year, I’ve been to Whitesnake, STYX, Tesla and Heart with a meet and greet.
