Very bad Michael Bolton I’d rather sit through a five hour Wagner opera than listen to and watch that Rihana Super Bowl half time show. We would love to see Barbara Streisand . One of the more entertaining shows we saw was Bette Milder . Left off Tom Petty and Paul Simon who we saw with Dylan. Doubt most people ever saw our two favorite Texas singers Jerry Jeff Walker woo passed recently and Ray Wylie Hubbard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And , I left off and don’t know if it qualifies as a concert was Renée Fleming in recital at the Los Angeles concert hall. I saw Bette Midler in LV however no singing . Barbra Streisand was great when she was singing but too much talking and she brought on her son and sister. She featured a photo of her mom on the large screens so basically she brought her family along. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonTexasNY Posted February 18, 2023 #86255 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Sometimes I listen to "The Carpenters" songs and get ferklempt hearing "Yesterday Once More" All my best memoriesCome back clearly to meSome can even make me cry.Just like beforeIt's yesterday once more.

DaniDanielle Posted February 18, 2023 #86256 Share Posted February 18, 2023 We saw a lot of performers in Vegas but Elvis was the standout. Wayne Newton was still very good and young when we saw him. Bobby Darrin was probably one of the best we have seen. So many good shows and so inexpensive! My favorite, Tim McGraw, we saw in New Jersey at the Arts Garden. I could just look at him, he does t need to sing!!!! 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen Grateful Dead over 100 shows, Led Zeppelin a couple of times, Pink Floyd, The Who, Rolling Stones, CSN&Y, Meatloaf, Tom Petty, several others will probably pop into my mind later tonight but I guess one of favorite shows was Billy Joel and Elton John. I have seen both of them individually but when they performed together it was outstanding. I am surprised it took this long before Pink Floyd is mentioned. Great music and a great light show. Like others hard to say who was best but here are a few that did great that I haven't noticed mentioned. Jethro Tull Yes Santana Jeff Beck Todd Rundgren What was your first concert. Mine was Jefferson Airplane at the Akron Rubber Bowl. It was also my first and last experience with tear gas. Grace Slick and guitarist Paul Kanter were arrested after the concert. An interesting first concert experience. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the last one we went to was Paul McCartney, and it was one of the best. It was an amazing show. We saw him a few years ago in Little Rock. Most concerts singers usually take a break while others play on. What impressed me is he never took a break. Great performance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karen Carpenter signed with his record label and he talked on what a tragedy her death was . Many others on our cruises including Rita Coolidge and Pablo Cruise talked about how great he was helping them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We saw Santana who opened for Dylan also Merle Haggard who opened for Dylan, our cruise next month has Rick Wakeman from Yes, Santana is still touring . I might find my program from Fillmore East and have John Lodge from Moody Blues sign it , have lots of autograph albums and CDs from these cruises. He spent lots of time in suite lounge, cool seeing the artist there and suite restaurant. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had dinner at Piesano's in that area.. Great service, awful food. (I know it's subjective, so not discouraging anyone). Sharon and I, with our cruise friends, sat in Pecos Bill while the others went out to enjoy them. Btw, thanks for having them turn the temperature up! I loved the warm sun. A few days ago I thought I got a spam call that Iissed. It was a call from the Orange County BBC Government. After noticing a few things I am guessing my "emergency call" must of got pushed while on a ride. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a big Beach Boys fan even though their peak years were a few years "before my time". I can probably credit my older siblings who played their albums when i was a mere pre-school child, But their music is still the "quintessential" summer music. I saw them several times in the late 1980's and while the first concert was pretty good, let's just say they..and their voices.... did not age very well in the later concerts. Speaking of bands before my times, one of my first concerts was a 1986 20th anniversary tour featuring The Monkees, Gary Puckett & the Union Gap, Herman's Hermits and the Grass Roots. I became a fan of The Monkees while watching reruns of their silly sitcoms in the mid-1970's, long after they broken up. I expected all the fans to be at least twice my age and was pleasantly surprised when a good majority were around my age. Apparently they all watched the show in their childhood as well. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HBE4 Posted February 18, 2023 #86270 Share Posted February 18, 2023 As long as we are discussing concerts, has anyone watched "Trainwreck: Woodstock 99" on Netflix?

I guess working in IT, I was probably busy saving the world from the Y2K Computer Crash non-event that was going to usher in the end of the world. 😉 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Ozark_Kid Posted February 18, 2023 #86275 Share Posted February 18, 2023 After a little over an hour to get to the gate I can relax. We were directed down a hallway and I thought, this is a long line. Then when we get to the end of the hallway we turn left down another hallway and then left down another hallway where there was a 6 lane weave. This is where we were headed. 😂 And then we had just a little bit longer. It took about 45 minutes to get to the Express Bag Checkin. 15 minutes to get through TSA. And then less than 15 to the gates. Even with all of that, it wasn't Miami. We are lining up to board. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
