Where have you seen Big Sam's Funky Nation? I saw them in New Orleans at Tipitina's maybe 13-14 years ago. Didn't know they came round these parts much.

Going to see Pearl Jam at the beginning of April. They are releasing a new album on March 27, which means I have about a week to fully absorb it before the show.

I saw them in 2003 (Show #1 of "The Boston Experiment") and 2006 at in support of Pearl Jam (1/2 Avocado Album). They were phenomenal back then and I expect more of the same, particularly since they are putting out new material.

How much you pay for those? Want to go but at min they are like $425 at MSG

He usually plays the northeast a few times a year, trying to tie in to festivals if possible. Mrs. 8893 and a bunch of her girlfriends saw him at FTC in Fairfield a few years ago iirc. My family and I have seen him at Crawfish Fest in New Jersey several times over the years. I think he has also played one or both of the Infinity locations in recent years.
 
I’ve seen Foals the past few times they have toured. Definitely check them out.
Dating myself here but one of the best live bands ever is Local H. Get past the high fiving mother song... many many great songs. If you go and don’t like the show I’ll pay you back the ticket cost

My friend who invited me has been a member of the Ten Club for about 25 years. The link he sent me indicates about $100 for the corner of the lower bowl, but it's a bit more complicated.

The concert is at the Enterprise Center in St. Louis and we want to hit up a Cardinals game, as well as Gateway Arch National Park.

It'll be a several hundred dollar weekend, for sure. On the other hand, It's been several years since entering the "Skydivin', Rocky Mountain climbin'...2.8 seconds on a bull named Foo Man Chu," phase of my life.

awesome, yeah i got family out in St. Louis, been meaning to go out there and catch a game. Trips like that are worth the money
 
Can't help with jam bands. I don't see as many shows as I used to, but I will get out to see Green Day and Muse when they pass through the area. Green Day is a straight forward (alt) rock show. Muse's shows are more of a full multi-media experience.

I haven't seen U2 in a while, but they put on one of the best produced big stage shows.

Played Westport blues festival not too long ago.
 
Los Lobos were just in Hartford and they were great. Not Maroon 5, I would say.

I've seen Los Lobos 8 times in the past 35 years.....they are opening for The Mavericks at Tanglewood in June and headlining at The Indian Ranch in Webster, MA in September. A cool, small, old timey venue on Webster Lake.

I’m in the Ten Club. You have to enter a lottery. I won, so I won a pair and seat location are based on your seniority member number. It’s a lil over 100 bux per ticket. Tickets are so expensive on stubhub because they only really have 2 East coast dates planned thus far, and they are world class live.

There most recent record I really liked!!
I'm assuming Uriah Heep? Saw them last summer in Czech Republic - Masteds of Rock 4 day festival. Going again this year - Judas Priest top billling.
 
Blackberry Smoke puts on a great show.
I want to see how Cindy Lou Who does with her band The Pretty Reckless.
Zac Brown Band has a good show too.
 
Frank Turner with or without The Sleeping Souls

Less Than Jake

Four Year Strong
 
Springsteen is and always will be the best. But definitely check out Pearl Jam if you can get your hands on tickets.

Got tickets through the 10 club for Fenway last time but forgot to renew my subscription and lost my account.
 
Foo Fighters and Los Lobos are great live.

The Blasters are my all-time favorite live band.

My wife has been taking me to a lot of Ghost concerts (10 so far) and they're very entertaining. Ghost @ The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, NY - May 15, 2018

Oh man.... I've loved the Blasters since the early 80s.... finally saw them a few years back at a club in Collinsville, CT. They opened for Rev. Horton Heat. I think i was the only one there to see the opening act.
