My relations in Sioux Falls (SD) were suppose to see Cher in October but it got pushed back to January, so it doesn't look good
-
going to see the birthday massacre this next weekend (hopefully)
-
Got tickets to see The Who next September! Will be up in the nose bleeds, but will be there!
-
Saw Slash and Myles Kennedy the other night,it was ok i loved the new stuff they did but when they did the GNR stuff it left me cold,no one can sing those songs like Axl can (even if his voice isnt what it was),it just comes across as a cover band frankly,but that said a pretty good night though one that wont live in the memory too long.

Fleetwood Mac tonight in Anaheim! Whoo Hoo!
-
Saw Peter Gabriel on sunday night what a great show,he was in fine voice indeed the whole show was a master class in pacing,content and special effects and darn fine musicianship,the light show was excellent the best ive seen since the wall show last year,great night out if you get the chance he comes highly recommended. Busy week this week The Who on Thursday and a complete change of pace with Andre Reiu at the weekend,busy,busy week.

So onto The Who at it has to said a far from full echo arena in Liverpool. They where outstanding 25 songs over 2 and a half hours was fulsome entertainment Daltrey voice was in tip top shape and Townsend can still play loudly,he tipped over through pinball wizard and really lost his rag add to that him throwing his guitar lots of windmills added to the night. The song selection was varied,My Generation got an airing for the first time this your and was most welcome,but it got me thinking back to the summer of 2013 when I saw them last and I'd say the quadrophonic show was more coherent than tonight's and gripped the crowd more,there wasn't any "toilet" songs that night there was tonight as the crowds attention span wandered a bit,it was a shame because they where missing craftsmen doing a job and who knows this may well be it,indeed I'd put a couple of quid on it frankly. So the who then for people going to see them,they're loud,very loud, Zak Starkey is an excellent drummer as good technically as moon was surely? The Entwhistle/Moon songs that worked so well in Quadrophenia are back but for me don't work nearly as well this time round. So if you get the chance go and see the you won't regret it and let's be fair about it it may well be the last time and chance you get. 9 out of 10.

Thanks for the review! I can't wait to see them next September. Seems like such a long way away! By the way, I was just in Liverpool end of October and we stayed at the hotel right by the Echo Arena and the Echo Wheel!

And so onto the last 2 gigs of my year Madness and Deacon Blue.. First off Madness in Manchester,saw them on their last tour and they were frankly brilliant,full of fun and almost 2 hours of great songs and a band clearly enjoying being there together on stage,fast forward 2 years and it was all a bit different,1 member gone a couple of others looking a bit disinterested if im honest and a little under 90 mins on stage (which for the price of the ticket isn't acceptable for me),dont get me wrong they where as professional as ever but i dont know something was missing and i cant put my finger on it,not them at their best for me but i was spoiled by their last gig i saw so maybe that was it im not sure. And finally last night off to the echo arena to Deacon Blue,which given the fairly misrable time i had last year was a little odd,but their new album spurred me into going and i have to say it was much better than last years gig,the drunks where still there but not as bad as last time out,the new songs sounded excellent as good as anything theyve done,a shame then the talking around me was louder than the music,why do people pay so much money to see bands only to yap and get bladdered? it bemuses me it really does. I suspect though the numbers where down by as much as half crowd wise,a much smaller config greeted us last night in the arena,i was told the arena was expecting at least 5000 people,it didnt even come close to that number,maybe going back time and again to the same place has started to dry the well so to speak,as i always say you need to be missed,you keep turning up at thee same place year in,year out people become blasé. I have though a sneaking suspicion that the band may split again or take extended leave now we'll see though,so a better night than last year for sure.

Got tickets for a British Invasion Show in February in Lancaster...the tour ran last year too but didn't really come close enough. Peter Asher, Chad & Jeremy, Billy J. Kramer, Mike Pender, Terry Sylvester...and Denny Laine! He's about 75% of the reason I'm going! I saw him in 2008 in a Sgt. Pepper show. He did "Go Now" and "The Note You Never Wrote"...and sang "Within You, Without You" for the Sgt. Pepper part. Interested to see how it goes...would love the chance to meet him too. Anyone seen Denny lately...or ever?

I saw Garth Brooks in Tulsa last night. Garth is from Oklahoma and has lived in the Tulsa area for the last 10 or 12 years. He is very popular here. He's doing 7 shows in a 2 week period! The show was very good - high energy. I'm not usually a country music fan but I like a lot of his songs - there is a lot of Rock 'n' Roll in Garth's show. Interestingly, he started the first song in silouette similar to the way Paul did his intro in 2002 but he dooesn't take full advantage of the video screen like Paul does. If you like his music, you will like this show if it comes to your area.

Motley Crue & Alice Cooper just announced another huge summer tour...I'll definitely be going this time...either Baltimore or Hershey in August. Stevie Wonder has also announced another leg to his tour...and is coming to Baltimore! But our arena is just awful and the tickets are just so expensive...
-
I thought motley crue was done with live shows and had a Farwell tour at that. Just like kiss did a few years back False advertising guys. Well I might see this one when this comes around. never seen crue live.would be interesting.one more chance I guess. Seen alice cooper once. Good show
-
Got our tickets for Motley Crue/Alice Cooper in Hershey! I've never seen either act with the exception of Vince Neil solo at a festival five years ago. This should be a good strong double-bill with two bands I've been dying to scratch off my bucket list...regardless of who's claiming to retire or not, it'll be a great concert!

Glad you got to see The Who 2015 version. I saw The Who with Keith Moon 3 times in the 70's. All I can say is there was no better drummer in concert, and only John Bonham of Zeppelin came close to him. They were the big one/two of rock drummers then, really a toss up who was better. Don't get me wrong...Zak is great, Scott Devours too. But it isn't the same without Keith or John Entwistle.
