What was the last concert you attended?

I went to a "home made" metal fest up in a village in the mountain. The venue was a temple. No kidding! It was free and they had a jar for collecting money for the temple maintenance. It was nice. Other than that I saw The Rolling Stones earlier this year and Kraftwerk in January. Oh my, it was a really poor concert year!
Last concert I went to was the Foo Fighters. Temple, great venue 🙂

@WatercolourWildFlowers The last tour they had, Dave Grohl broke his foot / leg. I saw the last show with both his legs OK, in Norway.
@veghard I saw them this year in Australia he was fine then, jumping about the place lol

@WatercolourWildFlowers Yeah... He's crazy.

I saw Lauv (an EDM artist) with my son this year. Rocked my ass off.

The temple concert sounds like a great experience.
veghard · 36-40, M
@CoffeeFirst Never heard of Lauv! Care to share more?

I have seen a couple of band in church basements. One was a long time ago, Uncle Bonsai. The other I remember was a Brit group more recently called The Subways. They are a lot of fun!
veghard · 36-40, M
@GerOttman I've seen The Subways! They are a total fun, yes!
GerOttman · 61-69, M
@veghard It was very cool! Right after Rock & Roll Queen hit the charts. They hung out after the show and chatted, I had my oldest and his GF and the they hit it off and signed stuff for them. The openers were The Shy's, an LA band and a few locals drinking Yuengling's that played good music and had a great band name. Deer in the Headlights!! The Subways featured the boys dad running out every time the kid on drums kicked over part of his kit, which was often, and mom in the back on the merch table!!

@GerOttman I love such shows! I saw them in a club with a small stage. So for the encore they didn't have where to exit. And the lead singer said. OK, we are turning our backs around, you pretend we're away, shout, and we start playing. Deal?
Earls of Leicester with Jerry Douglas last week. Before that it was Umphrey’s Magee about a month ago and Cold War Kids in June. I think maybe I went to a show in July but I can’t remember what. 🤔
veghard · 36-40, M
@ProdigalSummer Rather than Cold War Kids, I have never heard of the other two. Will check them up!
@veghard one’s tradition bluegrass, the other is an epic jam band

I have pretty broad tastes
veghard · 36-40, M
@ProdigalSummer That's what's cool about music! I also love all kinds of music. Just listened to Eminem's latest album, for example.
GerOttman · 61-69, M
Jeff Beck was the headline, Ann Wilson opened, and there was a Led Zeppelin tribute band with the original drummers son that did the warm up.
veghard · 36-40, M
@GerOttman Classic! There were rumours that Led Zeppelin with Jason Bonham would tour, but I guess Page & Plant didn't work it out.
GerOttman · 61-69, M
@veghard Don't know if that will ever work out. I did make sure to get to the venue early so I wouldn't miss them. Was not disappointed! Ann Wilson is releasing an album of covers soon and did most of the show off the upcoming album. The band she had was awesome! They did a real interesting cover of "You Don't Own Me".

The last one was Glenn Hughes a few weeks ago. He did an entire set of his Deep Purple material. My next one is Alice Cooper in about a week.

@SW-User I bet you have hundreds of gigs and festivals behind your back. Please don't say thousand!
SW-User
@veghard I'd say a few hundred over the years, but I honestly couldn't estimate the number of hours, days, and bands. A few years ago, we went to three festivals over the course of ten days and estimate that we saw close to 40 bands in that span. That was the craziest stretch I've ever had. My son was so tired after we got home from the last one that he peeled his socks off and threw them in the trash instead of the laundry. It was fun but grueling.

I saw a Gypsy Kings cover band last weekend.
CoffeeFirst · 56-60, F
@SW-User We had not even heard of them, we got free tickets from my daughter. But now we are fans. I'd love to go again, but probably won't. Classics.
SW-User
@CoffeeFirst You are so lucky to get free tickets. They are on my wish list but i probably won't either. Have you seen any of their famous video clips online?

@veghard He was awesome. Small venue, spoke about career, who he’s played with and for. He has quite a history. And really good on acoustic.
