Last week near Nashville. Here is Bob Dylan on Keyboards. He has had a reputation for disappointing performances the last decade by many fans. I really enjoyed his performance here.

Saw him years ago with John Cougar Menstrual Cramps. My expectations were flip-flopped. Dylan was not great, but John was fantastic.
I'm going to see DEVO in a few weeks. I saw them last year and it was one of my favorite shows, ever. You imagine DEVO is going to be 90% synth and autotune and whatnot, but they were raw and hard as nails. I've been to punk rock shows that were more tame. |
In 96-ish, we saw Soundgarden, then DEVO, then Metallica at the Gorge at Lollapalooza. I'd definitely see DEVO again, they were a lot of fun.

Good to see Sting and the Pixies holding up.

The wife and I saw Sting in Phoenix a month ago. He's in his 70's now and in amazing shape. Great concert.

Just saw the Pixies in Phoenix a couple weeks ago. They still sound pretty good even without Kim Deal and most of them over 60.

I wanna know who Dusty is going to that concert to really see.
Rob Z. or TayTay? |
I wanna be in the room when Taylor Swift lets her Inner Freak off its leash.  I likely won't be there, I more than likely couldn't afford the ticket but I would pay good money to see that.
Every "big show" I've gone to lately has been a let- down. I think we're gettin' swindled and pimped. We're gettin' tricked by business.
Zombie is no better than the thrash bands I saw at CBGB.
The small venue experience is so much better than the large venue experience.
I saw John 5 when he made the rounds a few years ago. There were less people in the audience than R.Z. has on his crew. It was an inexpensive ticket and Mr. 5 kicked ass. All upside, no downside.
John won't be playing with R.Z. this tour near as I can, another reason I could easily skip it.
Years ago we could count on one surly @$$H01E devoid of all reason per ten normal human beings in a really bad crowd. These days it's a verifiable 42% of nearly any crowd who are angry people devoid of any and all reason. Do I wanna party with those people? I don't think so.

The last time I saw Rob Zombie he opened with Thunder Kiss and played it so fast.
