@shintoooo, please move to the Lounge.

Dang that sucks but given the way he sings I can see how it didn’t work out.

Bummer, they were on the list. But thanks for the great music all these years.

Meanwhile, Keith Richards announces plans later this year to celebrate his 105th on the road....

Mine will not be a popular opinion I’m sure but,

Listening to a 76 year old sing; “I met a cheerleader was a real young bleeder” live is creepy.

F SeatGeek and Ticketmaster, bought th ole lady tickets last year for her Bday, 11 months later and I am still out $900. SeatGeek "said" they were going to send an email about refund options, I called/emailed/X'ed them and said just give me cash, nothing still almost 7 days after the tour was canceled. Unless you just have money to piss away dont ever buy anything that is connected to this SCAM/Racket of ticket brokers.

I got tickets last year for the farewell tour. It was postponed, and resch for this year. Now cancelled
The good news at some point I’ll get my 2800 back or what ever ridiculous price I paid to sit up front. lol

We‘ve been on a kick the last few years trying to see old rock bands while they’re still able or alive.

 

[Hardly Satisfied]

Grew up listening to Areosmith

 

[beertruck]

was planning on seeing them in January, one of the bands I truly regret not getting to see.

Bryan Ferry/Roxy Music
ZZ Top w/Dusty Hill
Devo (but we saw them in 2023)
Janes Addiction

Who else?

I saw Guns and Roses open for Aerosmith at the Pacific Amphitheater in 1988…. row 11. Top ten lifetime best show for sure.

I probably saw them another 3 times later. No show after the GnR show came close.

Lol, I guess I have seen Aerosmith because I was at that show, too. We got into a fight on the way in and all I can remember was taking a couple of punches to my face while I pulled my buddy back into the car..

I went to 2 days at the US festival and can't remember much of that, either lol.

 

[was thatguy]

Last time I saw them was like $14 a ticket?
1979 Champagne Jam Atlanta Grants field.
The Cars as well.
Steven Tyler got whacked with a bottle and they walked off stage but then came back on.

I never go see old bands. I saw them all in their prime (and my prime) and have no interest in seeing them in diapers, figuratively speaking.
My buddies all came out last summer from Phoenix and were nuts about going to see Rod Stewart in Laughlin.
I passed. I’ve seen him 3 times back in the day when we were both in the moment.

There are exceptions of course. The wilson sisters for one.
Maybe the Stones?
On a side note…we REALLY need to start thinking about what kind of world we are leaving for Kieth Richards…

I KNEW I recognized you!
(I went all 3 days of the US)

That's impressive, I was only 16 and sober but I suffered heat exhaustion at the stage front, right as Quiet Riot took the stage. Then I got lost from my crew. But all was not lost - I saw my first sets of live titties there!

 

[was thatguy]

I was in my 20’s.
On Sunday we timed our orange sunshine so we were peaking when Ozzy hit the stage.

I just bought a limited edition piece of vinyl for Ozzy's set at the US Festival!

Heart is on my list too, good call.

Stones - I agree, I sat this one out. As cool as I think it is that Mick still tears it up, I prefer to remember them from years ago - also with the Gunners/In Living Color at the Coliseum in LA.

I dunno, Debbie Harry recently sounded great (2X), so did Siouxsie, Iggy Pop (2X), and Johnny Rotten...all up there, but still doing a great job live.

Armageddon was a great movie.

Saw heart 2 nights in a row in Anchorage 1983.
Seen Iggy twice (Stooges)
Never saw JR, but would go see Sioxsie again in a second.
(That was also the first time I ever saw Robert Smith)
Siouxsie launched many artists.
Sid Vicious was long gone from the banshees by then.

Debbie Harry is my screen saver. Lol

seen stones peace out or what ever tour in 21, still puts on a GREAT show
Heart, Journey, Eagles, Doobie Brothers, Steely Dan, Fleetwood Mac, The Who, Garth Brooks ( odd one but awesome show ), Tom Petty (his last concert, lucked out w a rdp member that sold them to me, lol) are the ones we’ve hit in the last few years all have been great
A lot of the good line up festivals in 2024 seem to be avoiding so california, lol

Same, but I didn't spend 2800

we usually get seats close enough to high five them on stage, if far away might as well watch YouTube videos lol
