I saw Prince in a 1000 person venue recently. That was amazing.

Never was a huge fan of his outside of Purple Rain but holy crap that guy can put on a rock show!

Tonight: Bjork.

ZZ Top recently. They're one of those bands that the more you read and look back on their career, the more you think, "those guys are fucking amazing...how do they not have Rolling-Stones-like status?"
I think they're still a joke to a lot of people due to the gimmicky (but award-winning) videos in the 80's, but that's going to change when they're gone.

Prince and ZZ Top inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame on the same night, by the way.

Clutch.

Melvins (lite) last year. Back before I got old I would hit up at least a few shows a month. Now it's much, much harder to make it into work with only 3 or 4 hours of sleep.

Totally looking forward to Queens of The Stone Age at Red Rocks this August.

We got to see the Tragically Hip again this winter. I think I have seen them six or seven times over the last two decades. The nice thing about seeing them in the states is that they usually play small venues, and you can get right up to the stage to watch the show. saw them at the Saddledome in Calgary and it was a surreal experience. Canadians treat a concert like a ball game.

Saw Los Lonely boys awhile back. I got an invite and a free ticket not expecting much. Wow, what a show. Those guys can really turn it on.

My biggest surprise show of recent memory was last fall seeing Larry and his Flask, on the lawn at our local ski hill. If you have not seen these guys play, do it. Much, much fun.

I saw Oingo Boingo open for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, It seemed like only yesterday but I guess it was in 1990-91 :lol:

I can guess where that might be. :wink:

I saw Jimmy Cliff a few weeks ago and I'm going to see Black Sabbath in a few weeks. I might go to see Dylan and Bob Weir. :-k

No shows this year yet but last year I saw Roger Waters preforming "The Wall" at Fenway Park in July, Jack White at the Agganis Arena in September and Bob Dylan at the Boston Garden in October. Going to be hard to top that line up this year, but I'd like to catch The Black Keys, Deer Tick, Shovels and Rope and... probably another Dylan show sometime when I'm not working or paying bills :roll:

Had Hinder play this past Saturday on my front lawn at work.

Nothing like a couple thousand drunk Marines as your audience.

Just saw Brit Floyd, 05/08/13. Very good stage show and they covered the group extremely well. Most enjoyable and inexpensive as concerts tickets go.
Next is Bad Company in June at the fair and in August, The Monkeys at Humphrey's by the Bay. My wife is extremely sad that she missed being able to see Davy. After that is Chicago at Humphrey's.
