Concerts thread: Best/Worst/Next/Last one you attended?

And I always deduct 5 points from any artist or band where they wear their own concert shirts. Looks weak.

About four, five years ago this became cool in youth culture. Lots of bands were wearing their own gear in 2017-2019. I think that trend is already over.

Starting to get very excited for MJ Lenderman in a club in less than two weeks. Wild Pink opening, too. Might have to buy two T-shirts...

Going to see Bob Mould in April at Pappy and Harriet's, a western bar in the middle of the desert in Pioneertown, CA. Craig Finn is opening. Can't wait.

I thought B0b's hearing loss prevented him from touring.

Wild Pink is great. Opened for The Hold Steady last June and slayed.

That'll be fun. Craig has been working on new solo material. Didn't get a chance to see his D.C. show, but everything I've heard is that the new stuff is great.

Saw the Eagles at Sphere in December, and quite enjoyed it.

Have a ticket to see AC/DC in May. Figure this is their last hurrah. Also looking at an Itzhak Perlman evening in Nashville.

That's quite the spectrum of music right there.

When I saw Black Flag at the Blue Note in CoMo in 1986, the music played over the speakers preshow was Black Flag. I found that to be the ultimate punk move.

I was at Willie Nelson's Fourth of July Picnic at Southpark Meadows in Austin in 1984. Willie's music was playing over the speakers prior to music starting on the stage, and that was the first time I heard Willie's version of City of New Orleans. It was the title cut from an album released earlier that year.

Also considering adding Renée Fleming to surprise my wife. We've seen her before and enjoyed it, tho it was many years ago.

Love Willie's version of that song.

Next up: The Killers, a few weeks from now in Las Vegas. My brother-in-law is a huge fan and got the tickets, they're playing a string of shows at Caesar's Palace.

Great show, in a great venue. All four original members, which is rare for the Killers these days. First set was the entire Hot Fuss album in order (with a few alternate and/or stretched out versions of songs). Second set was hits from the rest of their career, plus a new song called "Bright Lights."

Brandon Flowers dropped in samples from "Burning Love" and "Luck Be a Lady Tonight" as shout outs to previous Vegas legends.
