2024: at small venue = few hundred people at the Majestic Theater San Antonio; caught Joe Bonamassa and few months later Kenny Wayne Shepherd; both great shows. In Austin, Moody Theater caught Bonnie Raitt...73 yrs olde and rocked 3+ hrs non-stop...really great show. At the indoor baseball stadium in Dallas caught Chris Stapleton with 90,000 other people; great show but just too many people in one place...getting in & out & parking was a nightmare. In Nov went to the Sphere in Vegas for the Eagles & Vince Gill...the Sphere was an event in itself...everyone must see a concert there once in their life. Santana is coming to Aztec Theater this year - would like to that show. Also, usually catch Tommy Emmanuel when he is in town but for 2025 he is doing an all overseas world tour. Would really like to do one of the "The Blues Alive at Sea" tours...one week cruise hosted by Joe Bonamassa...he does 1-3 of these per year at different locations/ports; usually great line up of musician's/shows.https://cruises.soulatsea.com/keeping-the-blues-alive-at-sea-ix/
Is anyone here still into live concerts these days?
Concert Ticket Prices Are Expected to Keep Rising in 2025 and Beyond
keeps me wondering if it's even worth it anymore (smaller live music venues excluded as they don't typically charge as much)
