Your last concert was to see who and when?

Saw Two Cellos with my wife and 13 y.o son. Highly over-rated IMHO. However, the hundreds of cello playing middle/high schoolers and most of the women in the crowd, seemed to really enjoy it. This included my wife and son.......

I saw Steve Earle and the Dukes again tonight. That's 4 Steve Earle shows for me in about the last 18 months. As always, it was a great show. The highlights for me were Jerusalem, Transcendental Blues and a killer cover of Hey Joe.......

I saw the Elvis Costello - Imperial Bedroom and other Chambers Tour tonight at Fraze Pavilion in Kettering, Ohio. Awesome show. The finale of "Pump it Up" and "What's so Funny 'bout Peace, Love and Understanding" is one of the great concert moments of my life.

Interestingly, I just saw Elvis's wife, Diana Krall at the same venue, just last month.....

@thepigdog - Agree about Richard Thompson. I saw his solo show in April and it was fantastic. 1952 Vincent Black Lightning is one of my all time favorite songs and he killed it live.

@kjweisner - Did you see the Elvis Costello show last week? Just curious as I'm seeing Elvis Costello and the Imposters next month. I saw Elvis Costello with Larkin Poe and The Preservation Hall Jazz Band last October at the Ryman in Nashville and it was fantastic!

Saw Diana Krall tonight at Fraze Pavilion in Kettering (Dayton), Ohio with my wife and a couple of friends. GREAT SHOW! 

Last Friday night I took my wife and 13 year old son to see the U2 - Joshua Tree 30th Anniversary Tour show at Papa John's Stadium in Louisville, KY. One Republic opened the show.

All I can say is WOW! Absolutely the best stadium show I've seen in my 40 years of going to rock concerts. U2 is the biggest band in the world for a reason. They have the art of the stadium show down. So good I'm going to go to another show this year. Next one will be floor tickets (standing room) to get a different perspective on the show.

Highly recommended........

It's been a GREAT year of concerts for me. Since the beginning of the year I've seen Lucinda Williams, Springsteen, Shovels and Rope, Zac Brown Band, Shawn Colvin and Steve Earl, and Lucinda Williams again last Tuesday night. All were within the first 4 rows - center except Springsteen and Zac Brown.

I loved all of these shows, but the standouts were Shovels and Rope and the most recent Lucinda WIlliams show with her excellent backing band - Buick 6. These two show were ROCKIN' in small, intimate theaters.

The hits keep coming with Elvis Costello at the Ryman Theater on Oct. 17 and Nick Lowe in a tiny 400 seat theater on Oct. 19. Can't wait......

swampwalker, mizike,

John Prine and Lucinda Williams - two of my favorite live artist. I'll go see them every time they come around.

I've had a pretty good week. Heard "What's so Funny About Peace, Love and Understanding" and "Allison" twice this week!

Oct 17 - Elivs Costello at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville

Oct 19 - Nick Lowe at The 20th Century Theater in Cincinnati
