the first three albums are the height..

Of which band? There's at least three in there, and maybe five. Hard to decipher.

Two things. I’m a Paul DiAnno fan, so yes on the early Maiden. And second, The Iron Maiden’s is a all female tribute band. On a similar note, I was supposed to do a food truck with Lez Zeppelin, another all female tribute band. But it got rained out. I was looking forward to it.

I'm good with all the Iron Maiden albums I've ever heard and I'm good with all the tool albums ( more or less ). Metallica lost me with the Black album ( I remember hard core tearing patches off their jackets when that came out). The Maidens really deliver and I would highly recommend them, what an incredible library to choose from! I was hoping for "Bring your daughter to the slaughter" But I guess that would be a tad crass.

Never been an Iron Maiden fan, but that does sound like a fun show. I saw Helle's Belle's in their original lineup over 20 years ago at the Showbox in Seattle. That was a blast!
I always find it funny when a band's fans reject them when they grow musically. Not everyone can be The Ramone's or AC/DC. Metallica made great music throughout their 40 years history, not all of it excellent. TOOL is a pretty good example of that, too. I like all of it, but for different reasons and moods.

I think I'll avoid Post Malone concerts, even if he is "worldwide superstar" or whatever they announced him as last night at SB. So worldwide phenomenon that I've never heard of him, and nice facial tattoos and metal teeth !!!

Saw the original Iron Maiden here in Spokane in the 80's. Jason Bonham is playing with Sammy Hagar on this summers tour. Back to Foreiner, we are going to see Lou Gramn in October

I’m pretty sure Post and Leif are styled for a whole different demographic

Wynton Marsalis and the Lincoln Jazz band live at Staller Center.
I’m not a huge jazz fan but it was fantastic.

Saw Sgt. Splendor opening for Samantha Fish. Samantha Fish was one of the acts we meant to see at Crossroads. The sound sucked at Crossroads. The more I think about it a crap mix was Clapton's nose thumb to the thousands of amateur videographers recording the show on their phones for their YouTube channels. Nya, nya! You have crap audio on your crap video.
S.S. opened for S.F.. No bass player which is weird. S.F. had a spare bass player waiting in the wings for her entire set.
Eric McFadden handles guitar chores for Sgt. Splendor. Dude is funkier than chicken fried possum. Only way to get funkier would be to add Nile Rodgers on the other side of the stage. And a bass player.
Splendor's YouTube videos aren't a good representation of their live show. They're relentlessly funky, live. I can't wait to see them as headliners.

I’ve got a lot of my retirement portfolio invested in the Captain and Tenille comeback tour. Anyone want in on the action?

I kinda wondered if it was a legal or financial move.
Insert clever Muskrat Love comment.

Captain and Tenille are booked as Sonny and Cher's opening act for their comeback tour.
At least Cher is still breathing.
