Most recent concert


Went to an amazing concert last night.  Searched the topic and the threads I saw didn’t match so starting a new discussion.  What was your most recent concert?

I Saw the Experience Hendrix show at Lynn Auditorium which is near Boston.  An all-star lineup of musicians playing Jimi Hendrix songs.  They had a group of 15 musicians playing in different combinations.  Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Eric Johnson, Zakk Wylde, Marcus King, Devon Allman, Ally Venable and others shredded for over 2 1/2 hours.  Highly recommend if you can catch the tour.  Next Up is Robin Trower this summer still touring at 80.

Carl Palmers "Legacy" they project a bunch of ELP concert footage on the screens and have some of the Greg Lake vocals played over the PA while the band plays the instrumental part. Very fun and Palmer still has his chops at 73.

  My wife took me to Collective Soul in Las Vegas in January. I’ve seen them 2 times prior , but it’s been 20 years. They absolutely rocked , as they always have. The Eagles were playing next door at the Sphere, but we opted for Collective Soul as we’ve seen the Eagles enough.

CHRIS BOTTI, two weeks ago here in Toronto Terrific! Had 3rd row centrefloor seats right in front of the stage, Then  he comes off stage and played in the venue centre aisle only 10’ away right beside me.

Going to see IL VOLO in a week’s time live in Niagara Falls. I’ve seen them live before … another great show .

Saw DIANA KRALL in Niagara Falls this last November . She was not anywhere near her usual presence and force. Not her finest moment….muted , depressed and something significantly “ off” ….we wondered if she was ill or medicated or stoned.

Saw the THE EAGLES live in Toronto a year ago. Sprung for centre stage floors up front in the 9th row from the stage. Well Worth the extravagant price for these legendary rock icons.

I have one coming up.  Peter Noone, aka Herman's Hermits.   I am as psyched about this as much as I have been about nearly any show I have seen in the past 60 years.  Truly.  

@buellrider97 I saw Collective Soul around 5 years ago. I think I have all of their cds. I also have a Fender Telecaster signed by the original members in 1995.

Latest concert was probably Toto.  I wasn't a huge Toto fan back in the day. I liked their music, though.  They absolutely kicked butt live. 

Before that was Shinedown and Papa Roach.  Excellent concert. 

The Cure, outdoor show, 1993. Unfortunately. I've probably missed a few things since.

Vietnam doesn't get much international music. Steve Vai and before that Jack White. Both excellent

We have the luxury to see 4 different concerts every night for free, each of the groups normally play at Disneyland/seaworld or over all the attraction centers around the Orlando area. We also have multiple concert houses that bring in the likes of Kansas, Christopher Cross, Pink Floyd tribute bands, etc..

Before this, I attended the big Oracle Openworkd events when I worked and they would hold a concert with multiple acts from Elton John, Aerosmith, seal, Mc and the sunshine band, Billie Joel, journey, and many many more.

RUSH!  Neal passed soon after.  One a the few "Classic" bands that could play their music live on stage.  Just awesome. 

A bunch of great kids playing jazz at a high school. Then the music teachers played the second half and blew the students away. Great night and awesome acoustics. Haven’t gone to a commercial gig since Nick Cave before corona. Gave up paying ticketmaster fees so don’t do the bigger gigs anymore. Bluegrass music festival up in Maine once a year is about it. 

HOT TUNA  Acoustic at the Kent Stage stage GREAT SHOW for old timers before that WISHBONE ASH Kent State blast from the past both GREAT SHOWS

I didn't catch their name.  A local violin/keyboard combo on the Malecon in Puerto Vallarta Sunday night concert series.  Truly unique show preceding Dia de los Muertos. [Day of the Dead]

NIN at Starlight Theatre (outdoors) in Kansas City about 6 years ago. 

Jane's Addiction opened for them.

Going to a Kraftwerk show tonight in Chicago.  A year ago saw the Eagles fronted by Steely Dan.  Awesome night!

Living close to Orlando Florida & being yearly pass holders for Disney/Epcot we are able to watch mini concerts every weekend in the summer. Kinda outdoors but top covered stage & a good portion of the seated area. We see a lot of bands that are past their prime but will play a few hits they are most known for. 

I'm down for watching any good musician play live instruments..so I'll watch any band. The one concert that stuck out to me last year was one that I don't even remember the name of..kinda a bluesy latin thing with a killer female vocalist. They put on a show. This year we have people like Don Felder, ELO, Flock of Seagulls, Pointer Sisters, 38 Special, & a lot more I would have to look up. 

I honestly feel like it's the no-name bands (to me anyway) that always put the extra effort & energy into the music. Last big full concert I went to was Ed Shereen..with that band that wrote Chasing Cars opening for him. Snow Patrol, that's it. The Ed tickets I got for free & he is actually very good Live. I also went to a Blues concert last year..about 4 hours worth of musicians & bands I'd never heard of. About 2 hours of it was good. 

Saw a jazz quintet at a neighborhood book store. The leader was a bass clarinetist, Todd Marcus. All of the musicians had connected at the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore. Great performance. My wife and I sat 10 feet from the musicians. Came home thinking as nice as my system is, it pales in comparison to a live performance. 

7/15/24. Lyle Lovett and his Large Band at the 1700 seat Fox Theater in Spokane WA, a beautiful restored theater. 

Saw Lucinda Williams a few weeks ago in Northampton MA. Still rockin’ as only Lu can and her band is killer too. 

Christian Mcbride with Ursa Major at Jazz Alley in Seattle last night. Great musicians at one of the best venues in the Northwest.

Hilary Hahn performed the Brahms Violin Concerto with Washington, D.C.'s National Symphony Orchestra.

Saw Soccer Mommy at a local venue. I haven't really liked going to concerts due to the excessive volume at the concerts and I started to dread going to see her due to that issue. It turned out that she and her band played at a reasonable volume and her stuff sounded really good in concert and she was a very likeable performer. One of the better concerts I've seen in a while. 

New Sussex Symphony at Sparta New Jersey last weekend Great amateur symphonic music!

LA Phil & Hollywood Bowl - The rehersals - the music is of course world class but to be in the room as the conductors - Dudamel and others discuss the finer points is just sublime.
