I'm so excited to see her... and in Vegas too!

The only "big" show I'm going to this year is Judas Priest/Motorhead/Dio. I wanted to go to Petty/Winwood but I can't be bothered paying like $30 for a lawn seat, especially since I've seen Petty before. Not worth it, imo.

Other shows I'm going to...

X & The Detroit Cobras
Mudhoney/The Cynics/Donita Sparks
New York Dolls
Eddie & The Hotrods

Plus tons of local shows that I feel obligated to go to. Woohoo!

OMG! thats a real thing? is it like that episode of the simpsons?

[macmar71]

I want to go to so many shows but in the real world $$$ doesn't grow on trees!
I haven't been to a concert yet this year. In two weeks, Eric Clapton and in August going to see Journey/Heart/Cheap Trick.
Waiting for Rascal Flatts tickets to go on sale and that will probably be it for me this year.

Brian,

Wow, what a line-up! Night Ranger is one of my favorites. Have a great time!

yesterday was the 40th birthday concert for the radio station i work for -- jealousy curve, silvertide, airbourne, ashes divide, the hooters, everclear, staind, and stone temple pilots. holy **** was stp unbelievable. however, i don't know that this tour will last -- scott is an amazing performer and singer but it's quite obvious the dude is still messed up. bums me out.

Lucky girl! I've never seen Clapton. I'd love to hear about that.
I saw STP at Red Rocks in '94 (I think). They were great but some asshole decided to start lighting off fireworks (cue the scene from Boogie Nights) in the middle of the show. Weiland was pissed and stopped the show because his then fiance (now wife) was sitting at the sound board in the middle of the audience. It's so sad that he can't get his **** together.

So far,
Mark Knopfler
Excellent,except he should stop playing Dire straits songs since it seems,he doesn't like singing them.

John Fogerty
Excellent,Last time i saw him,he didn't have the enthusiasm,now it's back,galore.
Since his songs are so short,how does he play over two hours?
btw.Billy Burnette is in his band.

Kiss
Not the best gig i've seen from them,still far better than i expected.
Definitively worth seeing,despite the fact they played I was made for lovin you
and **** version at that.

Judas priest
Again far better than i expected,
Halford's voice is showing signs of age.

Def leppard
Very enjoyable gig,i was surprised they played a song from High'n'dry,Mirror mirror
and especially Photograph.New songs sounded very good too.

Blackmore's Night
As always,great!
Candice is absolutely charming stage persona.
They had cut down on electric songs,acoustic works better for them.

Lenny Kravitz
Excellent and long gig.
He doesn't understand the art of making the audience sing.
Even if there are thousands of people,having them sing the silent parts,
still sounds quiet.

Bon jovi
Great gig.
It's a great sight to see 44000 people standing with their hands in the air singing along to the songs.All the way to the very back of the stadium.
During the Livin on a prayer and Bad medicine it was so loud,
all i could hear above the crowd were the drums .

More to follow...

So Far I've been to:

Stevie, April 20.

Iron Maiden, June 20.
I was surprised how much I actually liked them. I'm not a huge metal fan, but they are really really good live!!!

Lindsey B, October 14.
Can't wait for the tickets to go on sale!!!

And I also saw George Carlin [rip] live in early May.
Not really a concert, but a good live show.

I don't go to many concerts really. This year and last year are big concert years for me!!!

[GarboSpeaks!]

An out of nowhere show for me the other week was seeing Billy Idol. OMFG< he was AMAZING! Hot, hot, and hot...oh, and he sings well too! lol. Hit after hit, major stage charisma, holds his notes, some throw back 80' s going on w/ drum & guitar solos, but overall score 100%! LOVED it. If you like Billy, and have never seen him, go for it!

Also going to see Stone Temple Pilots @ the end of this month. Was supposed to be a surprise, but I just found out. lol. Kick ass thing, it'll be w/ most all the friends I was with one year ago that night as we saw Stevie @ the San Luis Fair. Cool. VERY diff performer, but it'll be fun. I hope STP comes thru!

8/6 Motley Crue.....sigh.... was never a huge fan, but dunno what to expect. It's a concert so it'll be fun, but are they still any good? Then a short hiatus before as many LB shows as I can get my hands on. lol If I haven't said it before, I friggin' LOVE a year of shows! Damn. Take all my money, but worth every cent! haha

[Macfanforever]

I got six Stevie's shows in this year and I have tickets for comic Lewis Black at the Mohegan Sun on the 19th of this month.Later I will see whos coming to the Fairs in Connecticut.also at the Big E in Mass.I wish I can afford more big ticketed shows in this year, but, I have to watch my money flow now and I have to start saving for next years Stevie/Fleetwood Mac tours if she or FM will hit the road.anyway you can see alot of shows at the fairs for cheap also meet and greet the artists too.
