So far just Wilco at the end of the month, and Ben Harper in April. There are several shows coming to the Bowery Ballroom that I'd like to see (notably White Denim), but I don't know if I'm up for making trips into the city, especially for those weeknight shows. I did it a few times last year. Takes a lot out of the wallet and the energy banks.

Do it! I saw him about 12 years ago and he blew me away. He's even more up there in age now, but if he has a quarter of the energy he had when I saw him, it'll be worth seeing.

Yeah, Dick is a force of nature. You should go. The D-Rays opened for him and were real good. Fun Fact: The guitarist turns out to work at Stew-Mac.
 
Too busy. Two small girls!

However I do have tickets for Queen and Adam Lambert in May.

He certainly can sing so should be good

I would like to see Testament but they're the 2nd band in a 3 band line up and I'm not paying for tickets for Slayer nor do I want to see them or the first band carcass. Sucks.

I'm with you. I like Testament, but Slayer and its horror-dufus successors have no fucking pull for me.

Boz Scaggs-4-25 Rhyman

That's some good stuff there. I've seen Boz like 4 times going back to his Silk Degrees days and he has never disappointed.

For those who haven't seen him perform, his "Greatest Hits Live" dvd from 2004 is a great overview, with the wonderful Drew Zingg on guitar.

And he's also exceptional in the Dukes of September Blu Ray with Donald Fagen (of Steely Dan) and Michael McDonald (of the Doobie Bros), and the guitarist for Steely Dan's touring act, Jon Harrington, on lead.

Boz Scaggs is top of the line. I saw him in Atlanta, probably 1972 or 1973. We were all wearing blue jeans & denim shirts. He was dressed to the nines & a real class act. His music & talent continues to amaze. I saw him at The Ryman about a year ago. He is still amazing. His encore was "Loan Me A Dime" that he recorded with Duane Allman back in the day. What else can I say?
 
I guess it goes without saying that I will be seeing Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band for The River Tour 2016.
 
Freaking Lamb of God and Anthrax are playing in Hampton Va. Friday night and it's suppose to snow its
ass off. Not a bad drive in good weather but it's 2 hours from my house. Bummed.

I wouldn't mind seeing anthrax again, but I have no idea who lamb of God is.
 
Nothing planned yet. Pearl Jam announced a North American tour, but it is all too far east. (some at famous old ballparks.). So won't be going to see them. Have yet to see anything I need to buy tix for. If Bob Mould tours (EDIT: Yep, at the Showbox in Seattle, and Wonder Room in Portland in May, will try to go to one of those.), I will try to catch him. If Chris Cornell came around (EDIT: Nope, he is in Europe this year), I would go catch his show. If Wilco comes around (EDIT: Nope. Too far away, though it would be fun to catch them in Bergen, Norway where some ancestors lived :wink: ), I will try to see them too. I have already a couple times, but would again anyway. Open to other possibilities too.
