Wow! That's quite the list!

I haven't been to a single concert this year...

I just realized how old I am.
I know about 10% of those bands. Maybe even less.
Enjoy.

is that jane's addiction?

[gulfstream69xr7]

Going to see Cowboy Junkies in Manchester on Thursday.

[cedargrove]

Wow. That's a long list with some very cool bands, some I had no idea were still around.

I think my only concerts last year were U2, Neil Young, and Diesel Fitter (the last being my bother-in-law's cover band). Oh, and also the Toronto Symphony Orchestra.

[Cesium133]

Great groups on that list. Some of my old favorites (Primus) and new ones (Skrillex). Can't believe you saw that many. Awesome!

[masterserg]

Already have tickets to Eric Clapton and Alice in Chains!

[Cru Jones]

Didn't expect to see Billy Idol and Bush!

I made it to one concert.........James Taylor! A little "mature", I know, , but, he gave a nice "New England feel" to Paris that night.

Right on.

Just missed the Neil Young show here... already had too much on the plate and decided to skip it. Righ on about your brother-in-law's band.

Nice!!!

Love to see Clapton, have not seen him.... just played a Clapton unplugged song a couple of days ago, Before You Accuse Me.

So, I relocated from my hometown in TX back to Seattle in 90 and I had all ready worked some in the music industry... I used to hang with the guys in AIC and party with them along with the other bands in the scene at the local bars... hard to believe peeps I used to hang with passing away like they have.

I feel fine!

The Billy Idol show was a one off, 2 years in the making and then he played another one off in OR before going back to CA. He had his band in from everywhere, NY and London.

Billy and Slash are still bringing it!!! Below is a couple of links to read about the show in the making and some pictures. Bush jammed! If I had
enough time I'd post a vid of Billy.
