Hoping to go to Robert Plant in Des Moines. Should be mellow.
No more pits for me.

I had no idea that rapey eyed bastard was still a thing. He creeped me out on American Idol.Are you going to the pixies/MM at vibrant in Waukee?
One of the jobs I picked up is at Vibrant Music hall. I'll go to these and whatever else they add:
That's just upcoming, Scotty McCreery f.ucking sucked. He spent more time talking than playing and would play a cover foe like a minute and then stop and talk again. The week before flatland calvary was there and they put on a good show.
Loved concerts in my younger days but I just can't deal with the crowds anymore.

I always try to see Brit Floyd every year... I really liked their old guitar player Bobby Harrison but Edo Scordo has gotten better the last 3-4 years... MASTER MUSICIANS
My wife and I just saw them in Omaha in November...

A lot of late 50 white males bobbing their heads to the music. Seemed like they kinda lost the crowd about an hour in so it felt flat for awhile. Covered Prince’s Nothing Compares to you and Played some Sugar Hill Gang tunes including Rappers Delight. Closed with Cult. It was decent and can appreciate guys in their 50’s and 60’s still wanting to jam. I really like Corey’s voice and can see why he has toured with Galactic in the past
Was stoked to see that English Beat is coming to Lincoln in July, then looked at the price, cheapest I saw was 239😬 saw them at the waiting room in Omaha 2 years ago and tickets were 35 through the venue. **** the secondary market
May 4 Dubuque County Fairgrounds at Vintage Torquefest- Big Sandy and his Fly-Rite Boys, Deke Dickerson and several others.
This event features a lot more than just music. There’s a demolition derby, 100s of American hot rods, rat rods, bombs, and other assorted antique vehicles, mini bike races, pin up contest, vintage only campers, vintage only swap meet, art auction and a sales/ business pavilion (pin up photography, vintage and repo clothing, decor etc)

And I just found out I'm going to miss BR/SD in May. I'll be at FLETC during it. So I'm just a little ticked, wanted to catch that show more than Green Day/Rancid, which I still get to see.
Went to Orlando Monday night to see The Eagles. Steely Dan opened. We all know tons of their song and they are a jam band. He had 3 back up singers who helped with the higher notes.
The Eagles. Just fantastic. They sounded amazing. Vince Gill can seriously sing and is an excellent guitar player. Glenn Fry's son did a nice job. He doesn't have the same tone of Glenn but it's close. The 5 guitars playing was really good. Don Henley was great and Joe Walsh was well Joe Walsh. Glad I got to see them one last time. They have been together for 51 years. I wonder how many times they have played Hotel California over the years. They didn't miss a beat.

Decided to pull the trigger for Charley Crockett at the Salt Shed in August
I really wanted to go see Eagles when they were in Omaha but my wife had been ill and couldn't go.
Weezer just announced new tour dates (with Flaming Lips and Dinosaur Jr.), so it looks like I'll be seeing them here in Nashville again in September.
May - Billy Strings and Knocked Loose in Minneapolis and I also might try and hit Modest Mouse at Vibrant. My girlfriend (no pics) mentioned hitting a festival down in Oklahoma with some smaller bands?
Summer - I want to hit a festival but not sure on one yet. Maybe Infrasound or The Soulshine Experience?? I'll also try to hit whatever gets announced for a Pretty Lights tour or maybe I'll try and catch one of his festival sets depending on what gets announced.

I'm thinking I'm going to try and get some people together for sol shine, the old summer camp.
I saw 2 tribute bands the past 2 weeks.
One was for Guns and Roses the other was Led Zeppelin.
Good shows both!
That's probably it for me until next year.

What was their names? I bet the tribute band for GnR was pretty good.
When "Axl" came out wearing a kilt, I knew it was time to rage.

I just looked up the tour schedule of the Avett brothers.
The night before Moline they’re playing with trampled by turtles. The night after Moline they are playing with Houndmouth. Both of those are fantastic live bands.
So they’ve not announced who they’re playing with or in Moline just yet… but that’s going to be hard to beat.
No, the newer amphitheater. You get to enjoy all the smells of the outdoors. Cross your fingers that its a PB Crunch or Crunch Berry day.
I always try (other considerations permitting) to catch Lyle Lovett and His Large Band at Wolf Trap in August. (Checks calendar....ooooh, they're appearing with Preservation Hall Jazz Band this year!)
(Checks calendar more broadly....oooooh, Beethoven's 9th on 7/12!)

I've never gone but I've always wanted to. I've hit Electric Forest, Bonnaroo, Astral Lights, and Wakaan but those catered more to the electronic stuff I was into but I've been way more into the jam band side of things over the last few years and that lineup is stacked.
Nothing planned, but I should really look into it. I’m open to any advice, just no country music. Trying to bump the few non-political threads.
Yeah, the lineup is really really appealing. I've never been, but the camping situation seems pretty good too.
The concerts at HLSR are ~60 minutes, not 30.
The acoustics at NRG are horrendous but it is a good time. Might be the worst acoustics I have ever heard. Minute Maid is terrible also if the roof is closed.
Totally agree mutton bustin' and calf rope are must see entertainment.
Saw nekrogoblicon( horrible screamo), Dragonforce ( fun, decent), and Dethklock last night. (Decent)
