Concerts you are going to

[guido]

Enjoy! My son and his girlfriend are going to that. His first time at Tanglewood. I told him he will love it. Thile is amazing. Saw the Goat Rodeo Sessions at Tanglewood a few years ago. What a treat.

It was a wonderful show! Thile is indeed amazing! There was lots of new superb Punch Brothers music and both Rachel and Aoife. The before and after "show" songs were great including a pointed version of Paul Simon's "Loves me like a Rock" that brought the house down. Going to be a long summer with no new shows...

Got an invite by a law firm to go to U2 this Sunday. Since the concert is on a Sunday, they opened it up to spouses and family. When I asked my daughter if she would like to go, she replied “Who’s U2?”

Good kid.

We attended an open air show last weekend headlining Lera Lynn...she's an excellent writer, vocalist and guitar player.

[Tom]

Uh, if this guy comes around go see. Just blew the Dorptown away tonight.

[Trevor]

We unexpectedly went and saw this guy last night. Really impressed and was a helluva good time!

[Chad]

CoC and BLS tomorrow. Yesterday I received a FB message from the venue, telling me I won their merch package! A tshirt and a meet and greet! Hell yeah.

On Friday the family went to see Panic! At the Disco. He's a talented artist with a serious vocal range, his music is a bit too Poppy for my regular intake however it was a good show and my wife, preteen daughters and I all had a blast. *side note* I was a minority in the audience being a white hetero cis, damn near 50 y/o, male and it only added to my experience... good to see kids completely at ease.

Next up is Slayer on sunday evening ... gonna need my ear plugs for that one.

We were offered a pair of tickets on the lawn (White River Amphitheater) for Foreigner and Whitesnake this Friday. This is truly "old school" for my wife (she's considerably younger than I by almost 18 years), and even I can only name one Whitesnake tune off the top of my head. And... is Lou Graham even singing any more?

We went to see Styx and Yes at the Maryhill winery a few years back. Every one loved Styx (it was Tommy Shaw and a back-up band), but the crowd was leaving in droves when Yes took the stage. I'm hoping Foreigner is the second act on Friday, or my wife will be pulling me out the door once Whitesnake comes on. At least we'll be going with some other friends, and I know they'll be staying for the whole show.

Saw Courtney Barnett at Surly on Saturday night. Excellent show that was loud and raw.

Nice! I love Courtney Barnett. I guess I just missed her at Prospect Park in Brooklyn.

I did get to see Brandi Carlile, about whom I knew nothing. She was more than all right - back-to-back covers of Joni and Zepplin? I like where you're coming from.

[rwsaunders]

Reggae legend Frederick Nathaniel "Toots" Hibbert and the Maytals...awesome show this evening at our local community park. Toots is real showman and he has a super tight band to accompany his stage energy.

[Chad]

Metallica last night. They still got it. And drones, the stage show was pretty impressive.

[steve garro]

Saw Gillian Welch recently, Rodrigo y Gabriela, and just saw Camper Van Beethoven open for Cracker - Lake Street Dive coming up

- Garro.
