    Lot of bands like that still tour. They were always easy money when I worked at arenas. Can't tell you how many 80s bands I worked and it'd be groups like REO Speedwagon. I think I worked one of their shows in 2006 too.

    On a related note, Eddie Money used to be the opening act for Pine Knob in Detroit. Without fail, around Memorial Day weekend, he was the first concert of the year at Pine Knob. It was thing he did even when I was there. It was, an unofficial start to summer.

    Rapper’s Delight is just fun party music. They mostly lucked out by being the first rappers to see widespread release. They apparently stole some of their best lines from other rappers who at that point were only performing live.

    Le petit Prince? Really? Very cool. There's another quote of his about suffering caterpillars, that applies now and always.

    As with any nostalgia act, fans are locked into their age 14-21 music appreciation years and see the acts that appealed to them in their yoot. If I was closer to a venue I mightve seen Jane's Addiction before Farrell wigged out on Navarro. But probably not

    Only must-see concerts for me nowadays would be something like reunions by the Smiths or Oasis. Just kidding - Oasis are trash

    For me a big factor is whether the singer can still sing. I just can't handle an act where the singer is just totally washed. Like GN'R would be interesting because I never saw them in the day ( i was way too young) - except Rose is so washed

    I saw the Police in 1983. Sting can still sing, but I wasn't interested enough in the reunion tour to try to get tix. I would have taken them and gone if I'd been offered some, tho.

    The other thing is that I've seen the bigger rock bands I wanted to see when they were past their prime anyhow, so I kind of feel like I had that experience. I didn't see Zep, but I saw Plant/Page. Floyd in '93, U2 in '92, CSNY and ZZ Top around the same time. Even with the Police, I'd rather have seen them on the Ghost In the Machine tour 1981-2.

    I feel like this a bit with Billy Bragg. I saw him 20 years ago, which was already at least a decade past his prime - and it was amazing, but you did notice. I don't want to see him again and spoil that.

    Kim Deal. I saw her in her absolute pomp. That's enough for me. Whereas Bob Mould I never saw so am tempted.

    There are other bands like Fat Freddys I will always see - as we are just growing old together lol

    You should reconsider. I saw him two years ago. He looks and sounds the same. You wouldn't know he's aged were it not for him now having silvery-gray hair instead of brown Still skinny, still witty, loves his banter with the crowd. He was never a screamer so his voice is fine. It was a great show.

    Bob still sounds good. Going to see him next month.

    REALLY digging this Mezzrow channel. If you're into piano/bass/drums trios and don't care about big venues, this is the best page on the Web. It's got an almost --dare I say it-- indie vibe, because it's small and because the talent is jazz famous, but not famous famous.

    I waited a long time to see Van Halen. The Sammy Hagar version never interested to me. So, in 2007 when DLR returned, it was exciting and the whole band, including DLR, sounded great. Fast forward to 2012, I went with a buddy who was a massive fan, they opened with Unchained, we were sitting front row, side stage...and right away it was painfully obvious, DLR was totally "washed."

    We still had fun. I miss that guy...John was his name, he was always up for a show and our tastes were similar, I never would've seen Motörhead were in not for him, he was a big Lemmy fan.

    But that night we were sitting pretty close to Eddie and of course he was every bit the magician he always was. One highlight, they played Bottoms Up! for the first time since 1983 (according to setlist)...so, that was cool...

    Attention all hipster soyboys

    Good things keep coming in threes for LCD Soundsystem. They’ve just announced another New York residency, which will take place over the course of three weekends this November and December at Knockdown Center in Queens. A flyer for the series promises “special guest bands” will open the concerts. Check out all of the live dates below.

    On this day in 1979 at NYCs Palladium, Paul Somonon got pissed that bouncers wouldn't let fans stand up to dance so...

    Never actually owned that one. The one I wore out until it turned into tissue paper and eventually dissolved was a white long sleeve R.E.M. t-shirt from the the Life's Rich Pageant tour. Haven't been able to find it on any website searches.

    A bright red "The Golden Road (To Unlimited Devotion)" Grateful Dead T-shirt here. Same sad story.

    (For those who don't know, the song was about a barefoot girl at one of their shows. They figured such a creature was the best attraction toward spiritual progress and achievement there ever could be...)

    Checked out a little of the free Portugal. The Man set at Civic Center Plaza in SF last night and then headed over to Oracle Park for the big Green Day homecoming. Billie Joe Armstrong made it clear he's not a part of a MAGA agenda, “Are you ready to vote?” he asked. “Are you ready to kick some fascist ass?” He also called out Oakland A's and San Jose Earthquakes owner John Fisher (hands down worst owner in all of pro sports) who's moving the A's to Las Vegas, “We don’t take shit from people like John-********ing-Fisher,” Armstrong said. “I hate Las Vegas. It’s the worst shithole in America.”

    Lars Frederiksen of Rancid (also a Bay Area native and a big Quakes fan who I've met at games a couple of time over the years) made his feelings on the matter known last night too..."Fvck John Fisher!"
