Concerts you plan to attend this year

[Weave]

This concert season seems to be starting out better than last season so far.

Dream Theater in March

Static-X in June

and Queensryche in June too.

Now hopefully some really big acts start announcing tours stopping nearby.

Guns n' Roses in July, possibly Sting later the same month.

Tonight, Billy Strings in Denver with my two oldest kids who are flying in from Buffalo. 

Tomorrow, Billy Strings again with my kids. 

Sunday, Billy Strings floor General Admission by myself, post Bills game. 

A 3-fer.

I have back to back Pearl Jam shows coming up in Raleigh in May. I’ll be right up front in the floor for the first one and in the lower bowl for the second. 
 

… unless they decide to cancel again like they did 5 or 6 years ago when I had floor seats.

Billy Strings was excellent. 72 different songs over 3 nights. Nights 1 and 2 they sold every ticket except the 300 level behind the stage, estimated crowds approaching 21,000 each night. The Sunday night show didn't have the 360 degrees aspect nor the upper deck, so probably more like 14,000. I have rarely heard a crowd cheer for such an extended period of time after songs as at these shows.  And Billy sat in with a country singer at a bar on Thursday night and volunteered at the Denver Mission on Saturday. Just an awesome dude. 

Got my annual Red Rocks Tedeschi Trucks doubleheader (Aug 1 and 2) tickets today, along with a set in Detroit to see not only TTB but one of my other favorites, Gov't' Mule, as the opener. Seeing them both in one night is a bucket list item I didn't know would ever happen. 

Trying to focus on good things after the Bills game this past Sunday...

Apparently I am going to go see NIN in August.

There is a really good punk show coming to the Town Ballroom in April.  Adding that to my list.

Busy start to the concert season so far this year.  Me likey.

Seeing AC/DC in Vancouver April 26 and Vegas 30th. Shows 18 and 19 seeing the boys.

Sadly with all the turmoil the Vegas trip will be the last trip down south until we aren’t treated like the enemy instead of closest ally.

I might have to plan for this.

Seems like a decent Summer concert season setting up for metal heads.

Going to be a long show.  No opener.  3 hrs with an intermission.

Enjoy!!! It’s sold out.

For better or for worse, I’m seeing most auditorium shows where people just stay seated. I agree three hours is a long time, but it’s hard for me to rock out sitting down.

Yeah, I am kind of expecting a sit down show.  My assumption is this is the kind of show you just listen to the band.

Great show!   The band was super tight.  And noone sat.  Everyone was up and moving.

The set the chose was great.  Lots of heavy in the music selections.  They played 3 songs from their new album.  Very heavy and dark.  Loved it.

Got home quite late.  My calves ache, lol.  Its gonna be a nap day.
