Yarders post covid concert/s that they would like to attend?

I was going to by EJ tix the other day when his 2022 here went on sale. But wife said she'd seen him 4x and that was enough. Loved the early catalog, not Phila Freedom and after. Looks like a pass unless I get divorced in next year and want to impress a new date ;-)

Rod... I'd see Rod if the entire show was ANIAGAAWTABH, EPTAS and Oo La La and that was it, and of course, if Ron Wood was on board. The two of them are still magic and I honestly think Wood enjoys playing with Rod more than the Stones. Stay With Me is still one of my top 10 favorite tunes.

Anyone here seen Dawes live? They're playing in a new venue I've been wanting to check out. After watching the Laurel Canyon documentary, I've been in the mood for some of that sound.

Agree about Elton's catalog--but, oh, what a catalog! The last time I saw him was probably more than 10 years ago now, but he knows how to put on a show. Agree with your wife though; 4x would be enough. I've seen him three times (I think) and will not be seeing him again unless one of my kids insists. My wife and one of our daughters were going to go pre-Covid but I don't know if they are going to try to get tickets again now that they have been rescheduled, because she lives in DC now.

Rod has one of the best rock-n-roll voices of all time. But his later-era schlock really turned me off.

We are bring my daughter to Elton. Have taken her to the Rolling Stones, Fleetwood Mac, U2, and I think Aerosmith...probably others I forget. My wife pretty much insists that she catch them while she can (see my regrets post) and my daughter has well rounded taste. I married a concert junkie. Her dad was in the record distribution business so from late 70's through 80's she had free (usually very good, often backstage pass) tickets to every show that came through Boston. Wish we had all his gold records, but we've still got several. She has one in her name, Diver Down.
 
I haven't seen Flogging Molly live, but they have a bunch of great songs (IMO of course). A bit in the same vein as the Dropkick Murphys, not quite as much rock, maybe a bit more of the traditional Celtic instrumentation.
 
One more I just learned about and plan to see, but not till December - Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit. That's one I really wish was outside as the music is just made for that kind of show.

My dad lives in Pennsylvania and has been mostly bedridden since his stroke three years ago. I haven't been able to see him since covid, so looking to spend two days with him in August and parlay that trip w/ one of the Hershey, PA Phish shows, which is real close to his birthday.

Likely driving up on Tuesday, spend a night near Harrisburg and then drive back Wednesday, see him a few hours both ways. Last Phish show was the Strawberry Jam night at MSG.

Just got back from Albert Cummings. Best blues guitarist I've ever seen. As this was an outdoors concert, I now want to see him in a club. His tour calendar says he's playing in Ridgefield in August. If you're an SRV fan, I strongly suggest catching him on this tour.

I wish he was playing elsewhere. I went to see Rodger Hodgson (Supertramp fame) there and the sound was horrendous and price of tickets were a bit much, had great seats 6 rows from the stage. Not sure if it was that show only but terrible.

I caught Hodgson at Foxwoods and thought he was great. Zero sound problems.

Had already bought tickets for Ridgefield and the a few days later tickets went on sale for Foxwood. Would of rather seen him there. did not think he would do 2 shows in CT.

He's in Pawling at Daryl's House next January.
 
Well I finally pulled the trigger on one. Jade Bird is playing the Tractor Tavern in Seattle in early October. I'm kinda surprised she's playing a venue that small (capacity 500 I think). I'm sure she'll graduate from that type of venue soon. I got a code for a presale, the promoter says they expect the tickets to go fast, so I jumped on it.

i havent seen a show at ridgefield playhouse but the ticket prices have always deterred me from going. Maybe its a super intimate setting or something but it would be like Blues Traveler playing for $80 a ticket.

It is intimate, 500 at capacity. Sound was terrible, (not sure if that's the case for other shows there.) You don't want to even know what I spent for 2 tickets from their box office. Lol! Yes, they tend to be pricey there.

I checked Cummings' website. It's in Ballard Park, so outdoors, not at the Playhouse.

Ahhh! Ok, just went to Albert's web site and yes it's at Ballard Park August 12th. That should be a great show there. Weather pending? I was confused cause I had just replied to something else. Thank you.

heard Tedeschi Trucks was outside at Ridgefield?

I wasn't aware of it but checked their tour agenda and I don't see it there. They did play in New Haven already earlier in the month.
 
I haven't been to Westville and Billy Strings is playing there in a few weeks (don't know much about him). Recommended show?
 
Picked up Phish tickets for their Tuesday Hershey, PA show. First time seeing them since the Raspberry Jam Donut Show at MSG!
