Concert attendance

Sean...

Thanks for your response. My wife and I see PG on his "Us" tour (mid 90's --- where does the time go?). We were floored at the production. An amazing experience. We're really looking forward to this show; doubly now since your post!

Cheers.

I go to mostly blues shows, which tend to be small, semi-local and cheap. There are several good "festival" type shows, with 4 or 5 good acts, $25 for the day admission, beer, stogies, and BBQ not included-- so far this calendar year probably 24+ shows. Have a big 4th weekend blues festival here in Portland, have a couple other festivals later in the summer to go to, and many odd weekday night shows to see.

Portland is a pretty good town to be a blues fan in.

Last night I went to the Yardbirds concert in Annapolis,MD.
Excellent concert and fun for all who attended. The Yardbirds were truly a great club band. They played great tunes and they were enjoying themselves tremendously and were very gracious aferwards with autographs, questions, etc. If you are interested, go to their website:www.theyardbirds.com for their concert dates. The
tickets were only $25.00 and worth every penny.

Saw Alex Skolnick Trio last night. It was a great performance. He will be in Rochester NY next week, I am planning on being there. That will probably be it for now. Check out his website or new thread.

Shubertmaniac: Glad you enjoyed the show, but I tend to take exception to the billing that McCarty + Dreja = The Yardbirds (What was Box of Frogs?). That's less than 50% of the proper lineup - even less if you include all three (actually four, but who remembers the guy before Clapton?) lead guitarists who came and went - and could be argued to consist of the two least crucial members (though I personally don't view it that way - I love both their playing, and they were founding members). But if the band did a good job on the old songs, that's what matters most. I might've met you at the Ramshead under different circumstances, but as things were, I couldn't get myself motivated about this one...maybe I screwed up! :-)
