Two more concerts going this summer.

Goo Goo Dolls for the 4th time and Simple Minds for the 1st time.  

Alison Krauss was great until sadly the rain came and washed away the 2nd half of our show.  

That sucks about the rain! Always a risk. I am seeing her outdoors too but it's in Colorado in June...chances of rain very low, but chances of snow at 9000 feet in June are non-zero too.

Are they doing two shows there too? I’m going to both in Raleigh, but have the great seats for the first. 

2 shows in Atlanta

Willie Nelson and Bob Dylan at Darien Lake. I have never seen either of them and would be a shame to say I never did before it's too late. Do you think they will be just awful or will there actually be some decent music to go along with the icons just being there?

I get a little disappointed when this time of year comes around and I know I won’t get to be seeing The Hip.

Enjoy it.  These shows will never get old for me.

I have been slowing down on the big concerts and going to smaller venues and jazz clubs.

My wife wants to see Grace Potter at Art Park this summer.    I am going to that.  Happy wife, happy life.

I have seen them both in much younger days.  I can't see two iconic artists not having really good bands and really good sound, so if you like their songs then I think you see a good show.

83 for Dylan and 92 for Nelson. It’s crazy that they’re still doing any shows.

So I was in Toronto this past weekend with my girlfriend and she looks over at a guy smokin a cig outside our hotel bar and is like...isn't that the singer who is playing tomorrow night? She is wearing a custom cowboy hat that I got for her and we go into the bar and he wants to try it on. 3 hours later, we are still drinking and telling stories with Post Malone (Austin) and his guitar player and I mean, nicest guys on the planet.

He asked how long we were dating and I said 7 years. He goes...why don't you two stay tomorrow night and I'll get you 2 tickets to the show, and you can get engaged on stage. A couple more hours pass and I never brought it up again. I may have really botched this one and I think I may really never let myself live this one down...ugh.

I'm headed to Beak and Skiff next weekend for 2 shows. The Avett Brothers are having a mini residency. These will be shows 13 and 14 for me (weather permitting!).

Anyone been to this venue? It's fairly new. The reviews seem generally positive.

[Doohickie]

Got tickets for Alsion Krauss and Union Station this Saturday.

I’m just shocked that they were able to identify the guy with face tattoos.
