Margo Price is playing a couple hours up the road for free in June, so that might be a go
Tickets now obtained for The Cure in June, The National on both August 11th and 12th, Filter/Ministry/Alice Cooper/Rob Zombie September 16th, Peter Gabriel on October 16th, & Depeche Mode on November 16th. I wonder if we can cram anything else in there.
Great lineup!
It's shaping up to be a real 80's flashback year! We already have the Cure and Peter Gabriel tix, and likely get to the Depeche Mode show as well. I saw them on the Violator tour way back when and it was a phenomenal night.
Duran Duran is swinging through town a couple of days after we see The Cure, so I'm on the fence with that one, but I've never seen them so I may bite the bullet.
Saw Ministry in a small club around '88 in Dallas. It'd be fun, but I don't need to see them again

This might be the best year ever —

This lineup is amazing. We're going to catch them in June at Fiddler's Green.
That show (Fiddler's Green) is on our 25th anniversary, so it had a lot of appeal considering Disintegration was playing on our first date, but the bowl was hard to pass!
Wilco is coming to Ruth Eckerd in Clearwater. Venue is probably 50 years old so pretty paid off.
Tickets are $73.25+fees for upper left x 2 plus parking. Seemed like a lot for a simple stage show with no lights, dancing girls or circus elephants.
So I checked Birmingham, AL - 66.50 + fees for similar seats. Orlando was $57.80+ fees.
So sad to get ripped off to see live shows in my own town.
I'm trying to fend off my old-fart perspective by relating things to tank-fulls of petrol (accepting the cost of petrol is another thing). So it basically costs me around $110 to fill my tank +/- say $20 depending on how far I run it down. So when we took a friend out for a meal with a couple of drinks each it was only around a tank per person, so not horrible, right?

I hate to say it, but that's pretty much what concerts cost now. Over the last couple of years, they've pretty much doubled. Sometimes more. We balked at a Blink 182 show last summer because tickets were $325/per for the nosebleeds.

That show is next on my list. April 22 in Birmingham. Very excited. Awesome venue. We have so many smaller venues that are great. Iron City, too. That's where I'm seeing BHT. And the tickets are usually way reasonable.

Spend the money. That band is 100% firing on all cylinders right now. I thought they were amazing 15 years ago but the show a few months ago was stunning.

forgot to mention that i saw maxi priest about a month ago
small venue with a great band
worthy
also this past sat we saw mostly a track show (opening acts)
112 and en vogue (talented vocalists but i'm not a fan of track shows, would rather see a live band)
the headliner was stephanie mills
super talented but past her prime (she did have a fantastic band and back up singers)
I don't think I would have been interested in seeing Gary Numan back in the day, but the touring outfit he's got now is incredible. That will be a good show.
I saw him back in the day. New Orleans Riverboat. He was so disinterested that he literally did Cars holding a can of Coke and sipping from it between verses.
It's probably that standard arc: made famous by a song,
hate that you're only famous for a single tune,
go off on a tangent,
realize that you made a damned good song and people enjoy it so you might as well live it up - you've had more hit songs than most people ever will,
do victory lap.
