To me a band that plays others music well is great. But when they restrict it to one band, and play dressup, it's just cheese 🧀

Disagree. I live in NYC, it's IMPOSSIBLE for me to be impressed with a tribute band
I'll always appreciate a good rendition of a song but it doesn't compare

@helenS I understand. I have a friend far out on the forks of Long Island who just spent 4 years pretty much cloistered caring for 3 dying people. She's free now and her girlfriends take her out most nights and usually catch a cover band.
I'm delighted she's getting out and having fun. But it takes ALL my acting ability to sound impressed when she goes on about the covers 😛
That being said good music is good music and I appreciate it anywhere (even while intimate and my ears are being...blocked 😉 )

The key move is to follow bands who play small shows rather than giant stadium acts.

Tribute band?.

I've seen some really good tribute bands(I play in a few myself) and I've seen some absolute hacks. That said, I don't like stadium shows too much--seems so impersonal. But a lot of trib bands DO carry the torch and help keep the music in the forefront. This Sunday, I'm playing the City Winery in Boston with one of my bands, only a couple hundred seats. Superb sound, good food and wine, and NOT as expensive as going to see a national act.
I've been in Beatles, Stones, and Bowie tributes; others, like The Doors, Rush, and Van Halen, won't be playing again, so a good tribute is as good as it's gonna get.

All said the time I was in Laughlin, NV our casino had a Gilbert O'Sullivan tribute band headlining 🤣
There was no way I was going to miss that guaranteed trainwreck! The hippies swaying and weeping to "alone again naturally" beat ANY dark comedy I've ever witnessed 🤣💥
