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

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!!!

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!!!

Recently saw Steve Miller from very up close. Saw him turn his head away from the microphone, yet, somehow the sound of his voice never altered a bit. How does a 78 year old guy sing better today than he did in the 80's? He can still play guitar, but I don't think he was singing every note.
Also saw James Taylor last weekend who, on the other hand, seemed real. Good enough voice to carry it off, but he sounded his age, which was fine. The stories and the overall show was great. I'm not sure how I feel about these old bands using backing tracks and auto-tune, and secret backup musicians hidden in the shadows. All these old bands are selling out arenas, but a lot of it seems pretty fake. People don't seem to care though.

Saw Steve Miller at Jazzfest in NOLA this year. Was very good.
Saw Counting Crows at an outdoor venue and they were spectacular. My favorite post 90s band. Price points for tickets has gotten insane. Mid grade tickets at Madison Square Garden with good sight lines I used to love buying a frw years ago at $125 are now $625 seats. Nuts. Last edited by Snapolit1; 09-04-2023 at 04:12 PM.
