A final bump, just in case anyone has anything to add. Wishing that you all get to lots of great concerts in 2020 .... or at least a couple of really good ones.

I have Elton John tickets for here in Knoxville in 2020 so looking forward to one I do not have to travel for. I will travel for the Rolling Stones if they are anywhere close. And looking forward to Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band if those rumors are correct.

How is Lana live? I like her, but am a bit surprised she is playing the arenas. Seems she might be better suited for a theater. She also gets a bit ‘samey’ after a bit- slow, slow. Wish she would rock it up just a little.

I can see "samey" a little but the songs are so familiar to me. Lucky to see her in a small theater too (2,500). The two backup singers were nice. Good sound, especially the piano and her voice. One guitar player but buried in the mix. Biggest surprise to me was how many young girls were there. Most must not have been of driving age as the parking garage was empty and the street crowded with parents picking them up after the show. Lol

... or maybe this will help you?
