Went to see Buck Cherry about a year ago at the Surf Ballroom. Will be seeing Weird Al the 23rd in Mankato.

Did you win tickets or buy them? Sometimes I think that would make a big difference to me.
We totally bought them. And not the cheapies either. But not the most expensive ones either. It was just a lot of good energy and fun to remember 1990 or whatever. I wouldn't have gone, but my lady was like 'we are going to this' and then it was done.

Saw Chicago in Tucson AZ last March in the Linda Ronstadt Music Hall. It was a very enjoyable concert.

I saw Buddy Guy a few years ago. Next month I'll be catching Jack White when he rolls through Des Moines.

My second favorite act of all time. The Zombies at Codfish Hollow 7/2. Great show. Quirky venue. We were literally 8-10 feet from Rod Argent's keyboard set up and watching him play was amaze-balls!
That's the last show I was at as well. I was right in front of the soundboard. The Zombies are still fantastic and Argent is amazing. I'm looking forward to their new album in September.

The opening band was not something I enjoyed.

Most recent was G Love and Special Sauce a few weeks back at the DSM arts festival. They were good, plus it was free. After G Love wandered over to Gaslamp for a completely different vibe and saw some metal band from Fargo that was pretty good.

Wandered around 80/35 but can’t say I actually watched anyone specific.

I think my last concert was Marty Stuart. He put on a great show.

Next week going to see Tedeschi/Trucks band (have not seen them before) AND Los Lobos. I'm really jazzed about that.
Seen Tedeschi Trucks twice at the Paramount in CR, last time was in January.

Like most bands playing blues or jazz, they are approximately 1 BILLION times better live. Trucks just destroying the guitar. All the musicians are just ridiculously good. Highly recommend, you gonna have fun.

Not music, but we saw Bill Burr at Red Rocks last October. That show is now available on Netflix as of this week!

Just watched it this week and it was great. That is so cool that you were at a comedy show that was made for a special.

Cowboy Mouth is always an incredible show. They know how to do it.

Yeah, Fred doesn't believe in anything less than 100%. Hard to get past the impression of him walking barefoot through the venue, standing on tables, and stealing peoples food during the band introduction.
