So I bought me some cool chambered earplugs that let me hear the lyrics during most concerts. |

I hope Vince decides to 'quit' the Eagles and go back to touring with the likes of Lyle Lovett again.

George Thorogood still has it going, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4E9ydw_aDMg
Paul Rodgers & Bad Company with Lynyrd Skynyrd in Las Vegas this Oct. for me. |
Went to see some big-name bands from the 60's and 70s in the 80s when they were supposedly "washed up." Musically, they seemed little different than in their prime except tickets were cheap and they were more appreciative of their audience. A couple years ago, we went to a couple of concerts with some old rockers/metal and they were pretty sad. I guess they just need the money. Last time for me. I will just keep listening to my CDs.
Most a quite a bit older than me, and I have noticed that my singing voice has lost an awful lot...even singing in the shower. I imagine they are no different. |
Ringo and his All Star Band seem to be still rockin it as well.
|
Paul McCartney’s new album, Kisses on the Bottom (standards) is great. A repertoire of songs that his 81 year old voice is perfect for.
|
I would have thought that Marshall Tucker would have been washed up in about 1982. I saw them in the mid-'70s, that was nearly 50 years ago, folks.
I have no interest in seeing any geriatric band perform, decades past their prime, just recycling old hits for an old audience. This definitely includes The Rolling Stones. I think that it's pathetic and it actually makes me sad and feel old. |

We saw Joan Jett a few years ago. Great show. Also saw Joe Cocker near the end, again a fun show.
The others.... I get more from a cover band in a small venue. Although Elton John was fun, he had help on the piano, and the ticket prices for the farewell tour were crazy..... Sometimes I'd rather spend 2 hours listening to the durtbags at Durty Harry's on Duval....SmileWavy |
Many years ago the Beach Boys played the jersey shore. Hoo boy they were just awful. It was one of those performance when you feel worse for the performer than you do for yourself. I left long before the end of the show.

I saw TMTB in the late 70's with J. Geils. Enjoyed the show. The only thing I can think of for these
old geezers to reunite and play is money. |
take the highway....great tune.
i saw toy caldwel and i forget who was with him in ashville back in the 90's. sat there and talked with him a a few. |
MT has been done for awhile --Saw e\m almost 10 years ago --kinda sad
|
wife and i were talking about who we would want to see know.
really no one, perhaps dave mathews but i dont want to go to an arena again. the sound is always bad. last ones we have seen are kansas charlie daniels zz top charlie D has an amazing band. for that matter they were all great. |
Not sure if it's a love of performing, ego or money that has a lot of 70+ year old musicians out there performing, mainly at small venues, local festivals, etc. I have pretty much stopped going as the music is not what I remembered in their prime (and mine). Twenty years ago, they were still passable but not the past several years.
To me, one or two guys from the original band with a group of young musicians trying to make a buck. |
