My folks saw them in 2013-15? and had a meet and greet after. I know half a century is a long time to do anything but in the picture it looks like they velcroed Brian Wilson in his chair so he wouldn't fall out. Kinda sad...

Last "old dude" show I saw was David Allan Coe.
He was on oxygen backstage. They sat him on this oversized motorcycle seat style stool, yanked the oxygen lines and wheeled him out on stage.
Then he just took off playing. He'd play a verse or two of a song then switch to something else and the band had to roll with whatever he was playing.
I'm pretty sure it was all random and the band didn't know where he was going next. I don't remember how long he played, but there was no talking or intermissions.
When he said thank you and goodnight, they wheeled him back off stage and that was that.
The rest of the band came and hung out in the bar, but Mr. Coe was done for the evening.

An acquaintance who saw the previous nights show said "pretty sure that was a wig".
You think? :lol

Ol' DAC! I was 8 years old the first time I listened to the Underground Album. My mom over heard me humming, not singing but humming, F@#king in the Butt and tore my backside up! Lol. No way an album like that gets released these days.

- Smashing Pumpkins (@PNC Bank Arts Center, Holmdel, NJ). This one was just last night. The first 1/2 was absolutely sick. Hit after hit after hit and Billy Corgan can still shred a guitar with the best of them. He was great. Seeing Jimmy Chamberlain on drums was amazing too - those 2 are just magic together. The last 1/2 of the show was weird to say the least. They brought out a bunch of "special guests" and played mostly covers. Courtney Love came out and they did 2 Hole songs (that I think Corgan actually wrote back in the 90s) but she was a mess. it was more sad than anything. Then Mark McGrath came out and they sang "Fly" (Sugar Ray) and "Breaking the Law" (Judas Priest). There were more. Not what I was expecting but the first 2 hours was worth it.

I'm trying to line up the next show. My son came with me to SP last night and we had so much fun.

:cheers: You just named a couple of my favorite bands. Going to see SP in a couple weeks. 2nd time. Damn, I hope Sugar Ray doesn't just wanna to fly to Minnesota. ::)

Radiohead is the one band on my list that I must see still. They just don't venture here that often. Might have to go to Chicago next time they come back.

Other than that, I recently saw Weezer, as well as Foster the People and Paramore, which I didn't know much about. Going to see Blitzen Trapper in a couple weeks as well. Debating whether or not Beach Boys is worth seeing at this point in their career.

SP was awesome - you are going to love it. Nothing but the hits, which I was glad about even though I'm familiar with most of their catalog.

So The Beach Boys (Mike Love version) play Ocean Grove every summer at the shore and for the past 3 years my parents have taken my kids and they all have a good time. Show is over before 10 LOL but they still sound pretty good. The venue is a church in the middle of town so people bring lawn chairs and coolers and sit outside. You can hear the music pretty clear and the side doors are always open (no AC) so you can see the stage at the right angle. I wouldn't pay a ton to see them but if you have an interest there are worse ways to spend an evening. We are at the beach in the summer most weekends so it's a no-brainer (not going this year though!) :cheers:

I'm about to pull the trigger on Panic! At The Disco for January. My daughter LOVES them so I may be tagging along...

Ginsu Victim:
I haven't been to a concert since I saw in 2012, but I'm going to Tulsa, OK in January 2019 to see for the first time! I've been a fan since 1987, so it's about damn time I see them.
