Definitely. Saw them a bit back here in Bham and they were superb. They evidently do a 2(?) night special homestand in Atlanta every year that sells out in seconds. I want to go see that.

Big group of us going to see The Wallflowers next Wednesday in LA at a small venue. Doing Bringing Down the Horse and others. Never seen them - was a big fan when they hit. Hope Dylan brings it

Went to see Parker McCollum last night in Evansville, IN at the 10,000 person Ford Center. Had great seats at a reasonable price and Parker put on a great performance.
I first saw him open for Morgan Wallace last year in St. Louis and started listening to more of his music.
Jelly Roll is playing at the same venue in November. I’m thinking about coming back for it also…

Wallflowers put on an exceptional show last night in LA. First time seeing them live. Dylan sounded great and he was vibing with the crowd. Small venue, supposed to be all seated, but after security got everyone away from the stage he said “it’s alright - if it’s to protect me I’m good” so everyone rushed back to the stage. Played Bringing Down the Horse beginning to end and then didn’t the same for Tom Petty’s Long After Dark. You Got Lucky etc. Fun night.
Also nabbed good seats for Oasis when they come to the Rose Bowl next year

Going to see Air play their Moon Safari album on Sunday. Probably going to close out my 2024 "summer" concert season with this one and, if this YouTube video is any indication, it's going to be great.

I’m seeing The The at the end of the month in SLC.
Haven’t seen him in 20 years. He’s playing the new album start to finish then a 2nd set of older songs. I love the new album so this should be a good show.

Loved hearing Dear Prudence, but the entire show was a treat. Lead guitar and vocals is John Kadlecik, who has quite the resume himself.

"Followed" Lukas for over a decade now. Dude is incredible. Actually like that he finally peeled off from "POTR". It was time. Surprised he hasn't really blown up yet, but selfishly, also love it. I've met him and have some stories or whatever and he is as down to earth or whatever you want to call it as you'll find.
I forget the number exactly and it doesn't matter, but that kid played something like over 700 shows in 3 years. He/they hit the road early on in a big way. And that was over a decade ago. He has put in the time, to say the least, no question. One thing he's not doing is riding Daddy's coat tails. Must really, really love music and man, immensely talented.
Still just scratching the surface, even though way, way beyond that stage or whatever.

Yeah i tried both Detroit area shows with no luckUgh, I need to pay more attention to social media. Jack White played a tiny venue a town north of me in Petaluma last Thursday night, the places capacity is just over 700That would have been insane had I been lucky enough to buy my ticket online before the site crashed.

Concert was fantastic! Much better than I anticipated. Jeff Lynne is old and predictably not his old self, but wow... he and the rest of the band were phenomenal. I'm old too, and get frustrated at concerts when I don't recognize the songs I enjoy(ed) in my youth - definitely not the case here. Honestly, I forgot how much I like ELO, the unique sound and the hits. The strings, "extra-terrestrial" sounds and the unique vocals are just so cool. 5-stars, would recommend.
My only complaint (remember, I'm old) - LCA (at least on the floor) is not a great venue for a concert. Packed in like sardines... I felt very claustrophobic.
Dan Lambskin
Footballguy
Agree it’s not a great venue for concerts , although I was happy with the floor seats when I had them. Upper level is pretty bad though, to the point where I would probably not go to another show there if that was my only option

Late post:
I went to Hardly Strictly Bluegrass in Golden Gate Park last Saturday. Beautiful day out there, mid 80's to low 90's in SF is just fantastic. Lots of sundresses, lots of CA-sobriety, great music, just a chill day. I only saw one arrest. It's a 3-day fest but I was only able to go on Saturday. Oh yeah, it's free too.
I saw:
Teddy Thompson
Dom Flemons
Carlene Carter
Buddy Miller
Jackie Greene & Anders Osborn

My wife and I saw the mighty Opeth last night. They are so damn good. Longer setlist this time (a whole 12 songs! 
) and this time they got in two songs from my favorite albums. When I saw them last there was nothing from Still life or Watershed and that was corrected. The 2 new songs sounded great last night too - Milwaukee kicked off the tour, so it was the first time they were playing them live. Mikeal seemed to be in a good mood and there was some decent banter and they were having fun during the performance. Just like last time, the sound is also the best I've heard at a concert. Not the ear-ringing wall of noise that most bands are. Plenty loud, but sounds good enough you can hear all 5 guys and what they are playing.
Highly recommended for any metal fans if they are coming to your era. My wife really liked them too and had fun. I kid you not we saw a range from about 9 years old to an old guy with a walker. I was shocked at the number of people I saw that could be my parents' age there. The venue really messed up our tickets, but we switched out for probably better seats on the floor with a enough of a refund to cover all the merch I got and a few drink tickets. It might be the best concert I've been to.

In the last 2-3 years I've bought numerous concert tickets and had had to cancel due to health problems with my back and legs. Numerous disappointments due to my love of music and my realization that my world is rapidly shrinking.
Spring was the last time I made it to a concert, to see David Bromberg for maybe the 8th or 10 time. He announced he was retiring from touring because "I'm 77 and I'm just tired, man." His last concert was 2 months after I saw him.
Tonight I had tickets to see Todd Rundgren who's my wife's favorite living musician. All I had to do was walk 3 blocks from our hotel, and I was very sure I could not walk that far. We had a lot of trouble connecting with Uber but finally got a last-minute ride that got us to the show about 5 minutes after scheduled start time. Show hadn't started yet, we got to our (good) seats, and when the lights went down and when he came out with his band I'm not ashamed to say I cried, just because I actually made it there.
Rundgren's 76, so there's no way to know when he's done performing live. And he is a high-energy, physical performer. Played about 2 hrs. 20 minutes, the only break being 1-2 minutes while the crowd clapped for an encore. The encore was 5 songs. The sound and visual production, and the signing and playing, in his shows are just excellent, that's why I go see him. That's why I go see him. My wife goes because she actually loves his music and has since the late 60's.
When the concert ended we got out and I knew I could not stand up long enough to hook up with an Uber because basically I can't stand up, stand still, for more than about 2 minutes. So I pulled her hand and said let's go and started walking. We got about 2 blocks and my legs started giving out, so I sat and rested for about a minute and then we walked the final block back to the hotel. And I'm not ashamed to admit I cried again, because I was finally able to go out with my wife to a concert again. Then we hit the hotel bar.
Go see Todd Rundgren if you can. Extremely high quality shows. Reminds me of shows The Band did in the 60's and 70's. No talk, just constant good, clear music.

Caught him the night before (thurs) with a horrible spoken word opener. He’s sounding great and the Ryman is always amazing.
Going to both nights of Shane Smith & The Saints at the Ryman next week.
Mid floor (sec 3 Row P) for Thursday night and Front row center (Sec 5 Row B) for Friday night.
