And fascinating people watching from a demographic makeup.

I saw Morrissey in LA in 1998(?). The audience composition was surprising.

I'd rather see most of those other bands than Morrissey. But, he'll likely blow off the show at the last minute, anyway..

I'd still really like to see Morrissey if I could justify seeing Morrissey to myself.

This has to be the highest "Mister D Likes %" festival lineup I've seen.

Consecutive Cure + Beasties / Run DMC. Non-consecutive swap in Bowie for Beasties.

This is the kind of thing where I’d love to see a version with 10,000 votes to see which artists fully tank out.

That's really hard. As much as I love Petty, that's pre-Into the Great Wide Open, Full Moon Fever, Wildflowers, etc. The earlier stuff would be great to see, but I'd probably go with the Grateful Dead because I've kicked myself for never seeing them and all/most of their work had been released by that point.

10 year old me would've said Madonna and Bon Jovi.

U2 and the Pogues? Can't imagine how great that show was.

Feel like I could write something similar for 2/3 of these shows.

I wouldn't wanna see Licensed to Ill era Beastie Boys. Anything Paul's Boutique & after and I'm down though.

I saw several of those shows down in Florida that year/tours, so for the ones I missed I'll say Paul Simon & the Grateful Dead.

eta: replace the Dead with Bowie. I'd rather see Bowie with an elaborate Glass Spiders show than a hit or miss '87 summer Grateful Dead event.

The easy one here is U2/Pogues.

After that, a lot of directions you could go. I was right in the middle of the target market for Licensed To Ill, and I loved Run-DMC too, so I think I would pick that just for the cultural moment. It was probably a total shitshow of people my age.

Was really hoping to break the quarantine by seeing Modest Mouse in Philly. Of course, they're here on August 5th and that's the week I'm at OBX.

One month until Phish at Hershey Park Stadium. I've never seen them and didn't really dig their music all that much because I believed that they were just another jam band. A close friend who is a very long time fan of theirs has always encouraged me to give them a listen. He gave me the login for his Live Phish app and told me to check out a podcast about them called Long May They Run (really good podcast). I started listening during the pandemic and started to dig their music more and more. Long story short, I'm going to two shows in Hershey in August with my buddy who is coming down to come see shows with me. I know there are some Phish fans here. Took me a while to get there, but here I am.

I haven't seen any live music in ages and I can't wait to be at a concert again.

Fell ass backwards into tickets to see the Mountain Goats this Friday to end our three weeks in the hills outside Asheville. So damn excited. They were #1 on my " bands I haven't seen before and who I want to see when this is all over" list.




I get that this is nowhere near over, and I'll be fully masked the entire time.

I thought this was interesting. I follow James McMurtry on facebook and he posted about how Jason Isbell is fighting to have music venues require that patrons have vaccinations, and the pushback he is receiving.

I couldn’t figure out how to copy and paste it here, so here is a link.

Yeah he is killing it with this. I got an email saying I'll have to prove I have been vaccinated (Which I am) but you can also prove a negative test result within 72 hours of the event. I'm all for it.

Coincidentally, we bailed on Robert Earl Keen in Denver due to it being indoors and there being young ones on our trip who can't be vaccinated yet.

Good tips. Thanks. I’m hoping (since it is a General Admission show that isn’t sold out) my friends and I can find an empty space at the back of the stadium to hang out and listen.

Oh yeah. That's definitely a good approach. I'm not chasing some front row mission at this point in life, regardless of a pandemic.

Fun show. The group I was with was able to find a section on the floor between one of the speaker towers and the railing that was a closed in triangle so we had nobody near us except the people we went with and people couldn’t walk through where we were.

Glad I didn't have tickets to Isbell tonight and glad that he stuck to his guns.

A local TV reporter tried to challenge his stance that the venue refused to help comply and it was quickly found out she is the daughter of the guy who owns/runs the venue.

Looks like one of his Texas concerts has changed venues. Also sounds like Amanda was hospitalized for a bit last night. Real whirlwind for the Isbells. Good on him for sticking to his guns.

Seeing our first live show since Feb. 2020 (Brandi Carlile with the Seattle Symphony) tonight. Outdoor show at the zoo with 'socially distant pod' seating. Seeing local bands The Smoky Brights:



and The True Loves:



Perfect weather...should be a fun show.
