Kind of amazed The Who is still at it. Seems like they should have bowed gout racefully by now. Either the remaining guys love being on the road or someone needs $$.

Saw Reckless Kelly a couple of weeks ago, and just got tickets last night for Steve Earle. Both shows are at the Narrows Center in Fall River, MA.

The place is cool...an old mill a stones throw from “battleship cove” that doubles as an art studio. Holds maybe 400 people.

They also have a BYO policy for drinks and food for shows...so you can show up with a cooler of beer and a pizza and go right in!

Summer of country concerts came to an end a couple weekends ago with Rascal Flatts. Started the summer with a local 3-day show called The Country Fest. Cannot recommend Morgan Wallen, Chris Young, and Brantley Gilbert enough. The latter 2 are 2 of the greatest concerts I've seen. High energy, badass performances, etc.

Dierks Bentley is a decent concert with his older stuff; his new crap sucks for the most part.

Rascal Flatts is a heck of a concert if you don't mind poor vocals. The crowd typically out-sings him and drowns him out, which is a good thing.

Brad Paisley is also a great time. Such a phenomenal portfolio of music, and he's a Browns fan so him putting on a concert in Northeast Ohio the day of or day after(?) visiting Browns Training Camp got the crowd hyped, especially when he walked out in Browns gear.

Blossom Music Center in Northeast Ohio is an excellent outdoor venue, for anyone that travels or lives in the area. They hold a variety of musical shows. Great atmosphere, and for the rowdy crowd the tailgating is phenomenal.

I'm excited for country music season next summer, with Luke Combs coming to the area for The Country Fest. Talk about a rowdy 3 days - that's going to be an insane weekend with the campers.

Reviving thread due to NEW CONCERT 2023
We have had some big artist like JellyRoll, Hardy, Luke Combs
As for traffic, it can get F'ucked up. And for bring chairs-- i dont know, thats another fiasco.

Since Brooklyn Steel opened up, I’m not so sure my wife and I have seen a band at any other venue. Our first “non” Brooklyn Steel show in 6 or 7 years will be at Forest Hills Stadium to see Phantogram, Viagra Boys and Queens of the Stoneage. This will be the second time I’ll leave before the headliner goes on. I’m not a huge fan of Queens of the Stone Age. Phantogram is good, Viagra Boys phenomenal

The boys will be on tour In October with Brian Johnson on vocals for the first time since February 2016

Just saw Ben Folds last night and he was great as usual with support from the local orchestra.

Saw Lord Huron a couple months ago which was also great, and Billy Idol and Bonnie Raitt lined up for the next month.

Just got back from seeing what amounted to the 'Yacht Rock' version of "The Last Waltz" at a casino out here. Holy frickin' cow!!

The show was basically 1970's/Early 80's pop group Ambrosia joined by an all-star lineup of other famed 70's acts and one (or two) hit wonders. One by one they called up performers to join them and sing some songs.

As a tribute to Robbie Robertson, they even all joined together for an awesome doing of "The Weight." Spectacular!!!

Here are the cool highlights. Look at this lineup of huuuuuuge hits:
Ambrosia - "How Much I Feel," "Biggest Part of Me," "You're the Only Woman (You & I)" and "Holdin' on to Yesterday"
Al Stewart - "Time Passages" and "Year of the Cat"
Walter Egan - "Magnet and Steel"
Elliot Lurie (Lead singer of Looking Glass) - "Brandy (You're a Fine Girl)" and their other Top 40 hit, "Jimmy Loves Mary-Anne"
John Ford Coley (From England Dan & John Ford Coley) - "Nights Are Forever Without You," "I'd Really Love to See You Tonight," "We'll Never Have to Say Goodbye Again" and (everyone on stage joining in for) "Love Is the Answer"

Although, it wasn't all good. It's going to be impossible to forget all of the former 'hotties' (with an additional 40 years of road wear on their bodies) excitedly shaking their asses up front and singing loudly along to the songs. They always seemed only moments away from tossing their underwear, well Depends, on stage. Don't want to be mean, but these former 'groupies' have turned into 'droopies.' Gravity is a cruel demon. Yoinks!!!!! I found myself reaching under my seat in search of an in-concert barf bag. Other than that, what a cool event!!! :eek::D

Morgan Wallen at FedEx field on Saturday night. Great show and great crowd.

Was never a fan of country music but my 15 year old got us completely hooked on the newer stuff. Have seen Morgan Wallen, Luke Combs, and Chris Stapleton this summer. Going to see Zach Bryan in October. Yee-haw!!!
