2025 Concert Thread

Wolf Trap dropped their first/biggest round of summer shows, highlights for me include:
- two Avetts shows
- two Paul Simon shows
- Taj Mahal and Keb Mo (together)
- Ringo (All Starr Band)
- The Roots
- Dispatch mini fest (great lineup)
- Iron & Wine/I'm With Her (co-headline)
- BNL
- Lyle Lovett
- Ziggy Marley/Burning Spear (co-headline)

Of potential interest:
- Jacob Collier...still not sure how I feel about him. Excellent musician, but the timbre of his voice doesn't hit my ears well...
- Alison Krauss & Union Station...they'd prolly be a lock if Dan were still in the band, his voice is stellar.

Still a bunch of dates open, wondering what other delights the season might bring to Wolf Trap...
Damn.
 
I GOT TICKETS TO THE FINAL SABBATH SHOW!!! I had to spend a lot to get the seats with a hotel package. But I’d have to get the hotel anyway so whatever. I’m taking my kid, this shit will blow his 13 year old mind.

I just realized that the first time I saw Sabbath Pantera were an opener, and the second time I saw Sabbath Pantera were an opener. So it’s fitting that Pantera will be there for the very last time I see Sabbath.

I was sooooo worried that the Sabbath tickets I got would be taken away because they weren’t supposed to be on sale to the public. But today I got the email telling me that I got the tickets and the hotel reservation. I took the boy out for coffee and told him all about it; he’s pumped. The down side is that it’s made me hypomanic and I can’t get any work done. I might have to get my doctor to shoot me up with seroquel to function normally between now and July 5.
 
It didn’t occur to me that the tickets from Denver to Birmingham would cost twice what the tickets did. But fuck it, I’M COMING, OZZY!!!
 
Two shows in the future so far:
Bob Dylan in Williamsport, PA, in March. Anyway, I think it's March.
Patti Smith in Philadelphia in November.
 
Just when I was thinking that 2025 might be my first concert-free year since 1976 - I found out that PHISH summer tour is coming to Austin!

It's not a done deal yet, there is some kind of lottery system. But my name is in the hat for both shows and I feel lucky. :rainfro:
