I’m over 50 (barely😜) and I go all the time. This summer I’ve seen Train and Goo Goo Dolls (I see Train every year-always great!), Daughtry, Barenaked Ladies and Hootie ( I can listen to Darius Rucker sing anything-that voice!!! And BNL was just so much fun-would definitely go again), American Authors and OAR (love this band and the guitarist handed my son the pick after a solo so he will be a fan for life). And finishing up with Andy Grammer next week and Matt Nathanson in October (he’s my fave!). And I’m typing from my phone so can’t scroll back-but whoever saw One Republic with the symphony at Red Rock I’m extremely jealous. I saw a concert last summer at Red Rocks and it is the intimate venue. Ryan Tedder is so talented-I’m sure it was amazing. That was me with One Republic. I am a super fan and a couple years back when I saw them they threw a drumstick right at me and I literally did not realize that I was holding it pinned against my chest until my daughter started screaming. Love them! Red Rocks is THE BEST. I worked concert security in college and worked Red Rocks all summer long. I worked the road, the gates, the sound board pit and very often the dressing rooms. I heard the most wonderful range of music. Your comment about Darius Rucker perked my attention. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Darius Rucker and will never miss a show, including Hootie and the Blowfish last month and I was right on the rail in the pit. Last summer I saw him and I got a hand slap and fan girled out as my daughter said. I will also listen to Darius Rucker anytime, anyplace. His voice... I dream of actually having a meet and greet some year. When I heard he opened for Garth I believe back in May, well let me tell you I was jealous. I would have considered a scalpers ticket if I could have gone and I NEVER do that. As for Matt Nathanson, I won tickets from a radio station last year and it included an acoustic pre-show plus meet and greet. He is so very talented and so sincerely nice. He had a small conversation with my grown son about his shoes haha. Oddly, my daughter had a meet and greet with Andy Grammer and he asked to take a picture of her shoes but then again she hand painted them for his show. I like your taste in music. Enjoy your shows!!!

So far this year I have seen Elton John, Kiss, Chrissie Hynde, Paul McCartney, and the Rolling Stones. I’m going to see Heart with Joan Jett in a couple weeks and The Who in October.

penguin, it looks like you're having lots of fun this year. I was just checking the official KISS website tonight to see if they have anything scheduled near my area. I've seen them twice and would like to see them again before they stop touring. I wish I hadn't given away my Hot in the Shade concert tee to my brother years ago.

We don’t go to concerts too much anymore, but we saw The Pet Shop Boys and they are AMAZING! I think they kind of ruined us for other shows. They sound great and the production is unlike anything I have even in a concert. If Depeche Mode would ever freaking come near us we would go see them again, but they don’t ever seem to come to PDX anymore and not to Seattle very often. We do love seeing them live too, If PSB ever come back we will be all over it.

We saw Lionel Richie last night at the MN state Fair. Fun show! We got to see The Rolling Stones at Soldier Field in Chicago in June. Amazing. Went to Garth Brooks in May. Otherwise this year just local bands. Oh except we saw Coldplay last Summer. Also, Boy George and the B52’s at the Fair last year. So fun to see live music.
