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

The only time I saw Yoakam was at the 1993 Missouri state fair. Unlike Bocephus shows, there were no state troopers cracking skulls to break up drunks fighting in the stands.

 

[Huggy]

Only saw Yoakam once, at a country festival outside Toronto years ago. Hank Jr. was headlining and to say Yoakum blew him off the stage would be a gross understatement. Wasn't even close.

I've never seen Dwight live but I know he keeps himself in good shape, is very serious about music in general and his legacy, and likes having a tight band. I think it's low risk.

Full disclosure I'm a huge fan and I thought Guitars Cadillacs was heaven sent when I was in high school.

Saw the Drive-By Truckers last night in Sydney. Patterson Hood just turned 60 and hasn't lost a step.

Yoakam is playing three shows this year, all about a five-hour drive away: Park City, Kansas; Lincoln, Nebraska; North Little Rock, Arkansas. Tickets for all three are in the $150 range (for center stage), a lot more than when I waited in line for the show in '93.

I saw a Wilco show with Jay Farrar back in 2007 in Little Rock, but I don't remember the venue.

Got my ticket today for Roger McGuinn on April 23 at a new 500-seat auditorium at Microville Tech. I absolutely love the Byrds so I hope he does a lot of his old stuff.

most expensive ticket at the DC show I'm looking at is $95

Ratboys were excellent last night. I don't think they'll be playing in venues as small as Richmond Music Hall much longer.

I like Hank III in small doses.

We were at a Los Lobos concert last night, their 50th anniversary tour. David Hidalgo's voice is getting a little thin, but Cesar Rosas (the guy with the shades) still sounds good. And the band added a kickash drummer in recent years, Alfredo Ortiz (late of the Beastie Boys). What would a Latino band be without great percussion? He and bashist Conrad Lozano really click.

 

[Brooklyn Bridge]

Just saw AJR on their The Maybe Man Tour. The show had tons of kids (mine included), but it was fun. It's been a while since I went to an actual arena concert.
