Thinking it may be the last time I get to see Carl Palmer. Yes is a shell of it's former self with Chris Squire's passing and Jon Anderson and Rick Wakeman doing their thing with Trevor Rabin. Not a fan at all of the current Yes singer, but Billy Sherwood does fill in admirably for the late Chris Squire. He also fills in in Asia for the late John Wetton.

They were down here in Baltimore last Saturday night and tickets were available on Stubhub for $6. Would have liked to go but I was stuck in a meeting most of Saturday.

The Real Buffalo Joe Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 On 6/24/2019 at 7:50 PM, Just Jack said: I'm thinking of hitting three shows this weekend. Friday night, Quiet Riot at a bar here in Syracuse (never seen them, and tickets are cheap) Saturday night, Toad The Wet Sprocket (already have tickets for this show) Sunday night, Dierks Bentley (the wife likes him is the only reason I'd go) I hope those tickets are really cheap, otherwise don't bother. There are no truly original members. And the bass player and drummer are the only ones left from their prime lineup in the early 80s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have an American Idol alum (James Durbin) singing now, LOL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queen is basically doing the same thing. But they at least still have Brian May and Roger Taylor. And while Adam Lambert is no Freddie, he's got some respectable chops of his own, and he's not trying to do a freddie impersonation, which I respect.

Yeah, the current Queen show is far more legit than any Quiet Riot act. It's more of a celebration of their great music with a singer capable of singing them - but, as you say - not trying to be Freddie. Very respectful, I agree.

Gugny Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 I just heard that Dennis DeYoung will be playing in Albany, NY for the 4th of July fireworks show. Free show. He'll be singing ONLY Styx tunes. I would absolutely love to see this, but there's no way in hell I'm going to Albany for the 4th of July. Styx is one of those bands I wish could get their poop together and reunite. I did see them with their new singer many years ago and it was good. But DeYoung would have made it spectacular. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frostbitmic Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Going to see the Allman Betts band tonight for free at the Rochester jazz fest. The band features the son of Gregg Allman and the son of Dickie Betts so it should be a great night of ABB music. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WotAGuy Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 (edited) Been a good week. Jade Bird, Father John Misty and Jason Isbell at CMAC. FJM was such a surprise - 9 piece band, horn section and they killed it. I only know about 3-4 of his songs but every single one sounded so good. Jade Bird - how does a 21-year old Brit get on that tour? Talent - she was really good. My 4th time seeing Jason Isbell and he always does a great job. Missed Amanda Shires though. Also saw Toad the Wet Sprocket at Homer last night. Fun, intimate venue and the crowd was into it, as always at that place. Highlight of the show: the PA cut out halfway through the first encore song. No vocals, no instruments. The crowd finished the song a cappella. The name of the song when everything went wrong? “Something’s Always Wrong”! Edited June 30, 2019 by WotAGuy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a video of the unplanned sing along. Don't know if you could see where you were sitting, the roadie brought out a couple of bull horns to use after that happened. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t take my word for it. “I don’t even understand them in theory,” Lexington, Ky.-based freelance journalist Sarah Baird, 31, said, calling them “antithetical to enjoying music.” The very nature of what makes an outdoor concert special — specifically, inviting nature into a concert — is what turns off so many. “It’s like going camping with 20,000 drunk strangers, in a place that smells like beer, B.O., vomit and urine. It’s a hassle to get there, and it’s expensive,” said Carol Blymire, a 50-year-old consultant who lives in the District. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
