Wise Guys. Wonderful band with extremely smart and funny texts. Reason no longer visiting concerts: They disbanded.
I’ve seen the Grateful Dead and Phish many times.
But others I’ve seen multiple times and would see again (if possible):
Paul Simon Stevie Wonder King Crimson Joe Walsh Santana Neil Young Weird Al Camper van Beethoven Jethro Tull James Taylor David Bowie
Weird Al Yankovic! He’s cool! Love him!
Dead Can Dance.
Flogging Molly! Took my girlfriend (now wife) to see them for the first time 23 years ago. She loved it, so I figured she was worth keeping. We’ve seen them eight times now over the years, always a great show. Thankfully Dave King made it through his head injury and coma, so the band may be back playing again this year.
Iron Maiden. They just keep on rocking. Their shows are great and they’re not mired in controversy (afaik). I think it’s great they are repeating all the old tours.
Full blown fireworks battle between Bruce and Eddie!
I was not expecting that, and it totally went off. :^]
Sonata Arctica.
Lead singer has amazing crowd presence, and every time I’ve seen them they’ve been amazing
Genuine answer: Weird Al
He puts on an incredible show every time. The costume changes alone put most artists to shame. He’s just as enthusiastic and active as he was over 40 years ago (Seriously, the man is 66)
And of course the songs and skits are hilarious.
We have tickets to see him this year for the second time on his current tour.
Seen Al 4 or 5 times in the last 30 years. A fantastic show each time. Drug some friends to the last one, all of which were not real Al fans, and all of which said they enjoyed the show way more than expected.
Ween.
Seen them a half-dozen times and they kick ass every time. I’ll see them any time they come to town (if budget and schedule allow).
They’re still playing? I thought they retired.
They took a break for a while (I think Aaron had some substance abuse issues) and then came back and toured. Last I saw, they’re taking a break again, I think for mental health reasons. I’m a terrible stalker so you’ll probably want to look it up yourself if you want accurate info.
Deaner does fishing tours near where I live. Always wanted to go but I would want to bring a friend, I’m the only one that listens to Ween lol.
Somewhere around here I have a Brown Troop Fishing (or something like that) sticker from when he first started doing it.
Were I not on the other side of the country, and if I had much interest and aptitude for fishing, I’d say we could buddy up.
Primus. I was fortunate enough to see them a couple times before Herb left the band again, and a couple times after.
This last show I saw, they had a moment where they walked offstage, projected a TikTok of a podcast clip of a woman talking about how Primus was the worst band she had ever seen, and then Les just started fucking murdering those bass strings as they walked out again.
I’m never missing a Primus show near me.
Primus fucking sucks! 🤘
Zach Deputy, until I heard he was at Jan 6.
Damnit Zach. His brother was always a preachy young earth creationist etc so guess I’m not shocked. Havnt spoken to either of them in probably 20yrs… shame they’re both stupidly talented musicians
Primus. Fricken kill it every time.
Crown lands. I wanna see em again so bad but they are just not popular and they’re too broke to tour.
Shinedown. While many say its divorced welder dad rock (and it is) those guys put on a great show and genuinely care about the music.
Native howl. Damn good thrash grass.
Blacktop mojo. Another hardworking band that should be world famous.
Primus! We try to hit at least 4-5 shows a tour. All the Claypool projects really. It’s a whooole nother vibe getting your face melted on the rail.
Fuck yeah, Primus sucks!
Did you get to go to Sessanta?
Yup! Knocked red rocks of the bucket list \m/ Next claypool tour is claypool gold. Primus, Frogs, Delirium. Will be like sessanta swapping w/ all on stage together.
Fuck yeah! Hopefully I can see them at RR!
Sessanta is amazing, don’t miss it!!
Are they doing it a third time???
Both times I went were in nasty weather. I went to the show Billy Strings played at, and didn’t even get in the gate in time to see him, even though we got there an hour early. The parking was that bad.
That said, I had eaten like 3 grams of shrooms, and it was still one of the most awesome concerts of my life. Those Maynard in the Hospital intermissions hit hard that show. 😂
Rained all my sessanta shows too, heh. Fly out for 2 nights red rocks and get rained on the whole time. Oh wait it switched to pissing ice for a bit, then back to the rain. Colorado in the spring…but still.
I saw his Fearless Flying Frog Brigade perform Animals front to back along with their own material. Amazing show.
Yeeees. Lennon on guitar and Waters on keys this last run. Took my 11 year old to that charlotte show, she rode the rail all night like a trooper (in dragon wings)
R.E.M. (3 times)
Beastie Boys (2 times)
Prodigy (2 times, and going again later this year) David Byrne (1 time, but seeing him again in July!)That’s funny, I saw REM exactly once and that was one too many times. Way back when they were getting started. One of the worst shows I have ever seen.
Oh wow - I’m kind of jealous, even if it was a bad show. I’d love to have seen them in their early days!
I’m glad to hear they got better!
Ha - well, I think so, anyway. Personal taste of course. I might have loved the show you didn’t, impossible to tell 😁
I’ve seen Haken and Thank You Scientist at least 3 times, and I won’t hesitate to see them again. Just virtuosos so it’s always great to see people of that skill play their instruments. Meshuggah I’ve only seen once, but will definitely go anytime I have the chance. Heaviest band I’ve ever seen live.
