I saw them about 6-7 years ago in a local smaller venue. They were actually quite good and the show was very enjoyable. I’d go again.

My wife asked why they keep performing as they must be rich now. So I looked up the various members net worths as listed. Not one was very much over $1 million. That’s not much to retire on.

Plus, maybe they actually like live performing and the road still, who knows. If I recall correctly only two members were original, lead guitar and drums.
Saw them in about '77. One of the loudest, most painful shows I ever attended.......

Well I saw them in early ‘78 at Redwing stadium in Michigan in January. By the time the musicians took the stage, you couldn’t see them for the pot smoke. I don’t remember them being loud, but maybe don’t remember much else about that concert either. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤪
 
I Guess I am an old fart. I wear ear plugs when I go to concerts now. My wife too. Fuck Tinnitus.

I don't have Tinnitus presently, but I don't go to concerts at all, period. The audience behavior distracts me from enjoying the music. I'd much rather enjoy it in the quiet of my home where I can focus on the music. I might go to a classical concert or two... maybe a big band jazz concert (if you can find one these days). Nothing else.

I think you are missing the point. Concert goers are there to be seen. Fuck the band and their music. Drop a couple K or more to see Taylor Swift or the Boss and it gives you cool cred.

I did go see Jason Isbell a year ago at Red Rocks and it was a great time. I used to do a show or two per month but it my old age, I'd spend too much time saying "In MY day...."

All the more justification for me *not* to go, then. I can't think of one artist these days worthy of me dropping a "couple K." I don't need/desire the "cred."

I don't recall my last concert. it was a "big band jazz" concert, though. Big band Jazz and classical concerts are, actually, worth going to see in person, as the live sound is much better than any recording... even a DDD digital recording.

You missed Dave Koz, Candy Dulfer and Eric Darius last Friday at Coachman.
It was worth the drive

I probably missed them for the same reasons I haven't been at JTAC for a while. Transportation Block.

That, and I also tend to stick with "big band jazz" for concert going. One of my most favorite jazz/fusion musicians to listen to is Pat Metheny and all bands/groups etc. associated with him. Love it to death. Have more of his CDs than any other. But I can't ever go to one of his concerts. He has a stage presence that just drives me up the wall. I get that he's reacting to his music in his own natural way, but way too distracting for me.
