Your last concert was to see who and when?

@tkrtrb125 - Have you seen Tedeschi Trucks Band before?  Was it a good show?

@boxer12 - Darn, I missed Phish in GR. Billy Strings too.

@mitch2 Yes I have and yes it was. I get to enjoy their performances a few times a year. I am a Jazz, Rock and Blues guy. They hit 2 of the 3. Great musicians. 

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard last week at the Gorge.  This band is amazing and they're peaking right now.  Every show this tour was top notch.  There were no off nights.

The Doors Tribune banx Wild Cild,they have a,Live Album out.They play every year at the Paramount in Huntington NY...there good I've seen them 6 times.

I enjoyed a live solo performance today by jazz pianist Sabine Pothier with an intimate group in a spacious venue. She interpreted jazz standards with intellectual flair and masterful execution. And I appreciated hearing live music directly, without any electronics -- no mikes, no amps, no speakers -- just the piano in front of me.

The Melvins a few years back. I only go to small venues, newish bands, cheaper tickets. 

Going to see Los Lobos tonight.

pearl jam last fall at wrigley field. 

Im seeing CHRIS BOTTI in Toronto next week, and IL VOLO in Niagara Falls in three weeks time.

Diana Ross last Friday at King’s Theater in Brooklyn. 81 years old and fantastic.  

Lee Ritenour next week.

Kent Stage Kent OH

Not the first time and will not be the last. 

Will be totally unknown here, but I saw the progressive band, Corima, at 2020 Arts here in LA on 2/27.

This is a band influenced by the French band, Magma. Which is the more avant-garde side of prog. 

They haven't played together in 5-ish years, but they were just as good as ever. And this is pretty challenging music to play, as it is quite complex.

tool in January 2024. they were straight kick ass. i love drums and percussion. lemme tell you, when homey hit that big ass gong at the beginning of chocolate chip trip, it was on and popping. tht thing rang the arena i was in. cfg arena in baltimore. 

it was my wife's first rock concert . did she have a blast!.

great show!

IL DIVO coming up in October 11, 2025 at the OLG Stage at Fallsview Casino in Niagara Falls ON CANADA 

Scored great floor seats !

I just got back from closing weekend of Dead and Co at the Sphere. My daughter drove to Vegas to join me, she is now on the bus. It is a joy sharing music that you love with your kid. Great shows.

By the way, I posted some links under the way-too-unimaginative discussion name of “livestream concerts”, providing digital membership info for the San Francisco Opera and a couple major jazz venues.  If you have any go-to sites for streaming live music (livestream or On Demand), please add them there!  The jazz sites both offer a monthly option, so you can check them out for under $10.  The operas are $28 each.  Jazz at the Lincoln Center also offers lots of educational material.

It’s been a typical month for us on the concert scene, with some jazz, trad, & classical:
