The stones...4x!!

The Zombies (Odessey and Oracle tour)in Atlanta.

And, unless I forgot someone.....that's it for the entire year.

Used to go see bunches of folks all the time, but just not that excited these days having to spend a hundred dollars to go to a concert.

I remember when we paid $9.00 to see George Harrison in 1974, and we were OUTRAGED at the price!

At this point, I still want to see Jimmy Page, but good luck with that one. I wish Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood would put a tour together. Elton would still be a good show, but that's about it.

Bob Dylan

I stayed at home.

Since my son is a teenager and more independent now, my wife and I stepped out and saw a bunch of shows this year (more than I have seen in years as a matter of fact)- Sheryl Crow, The Who, Steve Miller Band, Jethro Tull, Peter Frampton, Earth, Wind & Fire, and Chicago....

Midnight Oil 2x
Elvis Costello
Tom Petty /Peter Wolf
Dada
Stiff Little Fingers
Wishbone Ash
Paul Kelly
Rolling Stones Paris 3
Brian Setzer Orchestra

Richard Ashcroft
Tom Petty
Trey Anastasio
Dr. John
Eric Clapton
Gary Clark Jr.
Foo Fighters
Queens of the Stone Age
Kasabian
Liam Gallagher

(I'm sure I'm forgetting one or 2 along the way...)

Stones x3
ZZ Top
Quireboys
Dan Baird & Homemade Sin
Blackberry Smoke
Guns 'n' Roses

Lol @Dan - my finger has friction burn from scrolling down your list on my laptop!

My relatively short list compared to years past:

Steely Dan - Santa Barbara Bowl
Roger Waters x 4 - Staples Center x 3 and Vegas
Steve Winwood - Chumash Casino
And several local friends bands.
I think that's it?

I had tickets for Midnight Oil and Clapton, but sadly had to miss them due to various issues.

Also have to say (and I was talking about this with my bro-in-law recently) after both Desert Trip weekends, I find it a bit difficult to get overly excited about going to see alot single acts playing in L.A. (only 60 miles away). Those DT weekends were the absolute ultimate in every way for me, and with two Neil theater shows in between, it was some of the best 10 consecutive days of my life. I'm either spoiled or just getting old, but the thrill of the chase of seeing many shows just isn't there right now. That being said, there weren't really that many this year I would have gone to anyways, and the three that I did (see above), I'll always see come hell or high water. I did but tickets for ELO at the Forum but have to wait until next August! And hoping Neil Young plays several in the SoCal area - I live between Santa Barbara and L.A. and am happily ready and willing to go to both (and beyond) to see Neil again. And there's always Bob "old reliable" Dylan and his Never Ending Tour, but haven't heard about any local dates thus far. Will 2018 find me back in the groove of attending multiple shows of at least 10? Depends whose on tour, and depends if I feel it's worth the time and effort.
