WrestlingRasta Posted May 5 Posted May 5 I decided was going to do one show (minimum) each month until the school season starts, starting with the Stephen Marley show last night (which was amazing). Currently holding tickets for: June: Toots and the Maytals July: Steel Pulse August: nothing yet but Beres Hammond just dropped a date in Ft Lauderdale September: nothing yet but if Earth Wind and Fire drops a date I’m ***ducking** there. October: Marley Brothers Legacy Tour November: nothing yet Anyone got any shows lined up?

mspart Posted May 6 Posted May 6 There is a little theater in Issaquah, WA called Village Theater. Generally it puts on incredibly well produced plays in a venue where there is literally no bad seat. We have seen Fiddler, Les Mis, the Million Dollar Quartet (about elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, and Carl Perkins, it was an original at Village Theater), Tommy, and a host of others. We just saw the Fantasticks there. It was good too. My wife wants to see Billy Joel but tickets are absurdly expensive. mspart

mspart Posted May 6 Posted May 6 Hmmm. I don't like Billy Joel that much and he is playing the baseball stadium. I hate stadium concerts. But you guys have a point. mspart

BTW: We saw him in Illinois pretty sure his first year tour pre Covid. Oldest son got us tics for anniversary. Had no idea who this guy was, hadn't done any research. Went because tics from son and did I mention free. Place was full, most everyone big applause when he came out. We were thinking, these folks must have heard of him before. I've since see most of his stuff, Netflix, Prime, YouTube. Current 24 tour leads off with video on big screen of his GW SNL routine, which was the best stuff I've seen on SNL in a long time. He then had 3 or 4 other comedian short sets before his start. Sitting next to us was a 95 year old man and a couple late 20 something women. If any find yourself somewhere between those you'd prob enjoy. 2BPE 11/17/24 SMC

Listened to Full Time Magic and Yelled At By A Clown many times each and loved them. Then Hello World came out and that was a big step up. Sadly Spotify has since removed it for dumb reasons.

mspart Posted May 7 Posted May 7 (edited) Looks like we will be seeing Billy Joel. She's excited I think. mspart Edited May 7 by mspart
mspart Posted May 7 Posted May 7 I just don't understand how Billy Joel fills a stadium anymore. Very few acts can do that nowadays. AC/DC, Metallica, Taylor Swift, and not many others. I guess Billy Joel is one of those. mspart
WrestlingRasta Posted May 7 Author Posted May 7 A lot of people from the era still go to concerts, often, and he was/is very popular. He puts on a good show. (Although it’s been 25 years since I saw him)
mspart Posted May 7 Posted May 7 (edited) I went to a lot of concerts back in the day. Most were in basketball arenas or smaller. They were great. I hope the sound is good at this place. That would be a bummer to have bad sound. I saw Black Sabbath and Van Halen (VH was the opener and their first tour) in a smaller arena in Seattle Center and it was great. Both bands lit it up. I've seen plenty of other bands as well. One of the best concerts was in a theatre with BB King. He was awesome and the music was awesome. I had seats some ways back. I walked around and got in a conversation with a lady and I said I was pretty excited for the concert and she said she was too. She was near the front and I asked if she would switch with me, and the answer was an emphatic no. Still probably one of the best shows I've ever been to. He was good but his band was really out of this world. It was a great all round show. Blues, jazz, rock. It had everything. mspart Edited May 7 by mspart 1
