I was a big fan of Linda Ronstadt throughout the 1970s and into the early 1980s when she still sang rock music. Before she went Gilbert & Sullivan and Nelson Riddle. I can't remember why I never made the effort to see her live back then. Most likely because I like my rock n roll dynamic and she was a stand-at-the-mic-&-sing performer, I guess. Whatever the reason, I regret now having

Brandi Carlile - Sep 21 This is one of only 5 solo shows she's doing. I saw her in June 2010 but that was full band, so I'm not sure what to expect, other than it's Brandi so it will be good. She's continuing to do full band concerts while these 5 scattered out solo shows happen too. Guessing I might've paid $40-something in 2010. She's also gotten quite a bit

QuoteJavadave Keith has had a strong tour and looks ready to keep rolling, but Mick has started to show a few chinks in the armor this tour. Perhaps it’s just the wear of fighting COVID while in your late 70’s, but he has looked noticeably older and more frail this tour. I’d be surprised to see another 2-3 month tour.

The choices they offer, as time goes on, become ever more limited to mid-tempo or even ballads. Real rockers being more physically taxing, which they feel less able to add any more of in a show now.
