I've been to Tampa and to Washington DC twice, because I can drive there from Atlanta. They are both good shows, and different from each other; I recommend both. I'll try to go to Chicago in 2025 (although late winter is a gloomy time of the year there.)
The west coast is too far/too expensive.
I highlight what I want to see/hear in advance, and visit those for a long hard Friday. Then I return on Saturday to compare and focus on what I liked best on Friday. Then I attend an acoustic performance--usually a classical concert on Saturday night, to return to the acoustic real world.
Go alone--or better with a friend--but just go, wherever You'll have some fun and learn things.
