I’ve seen Metallica 3 times. They put on a great show.
without a doubt... "i just really have to see the Flaming Farts before i die"... wtfe
My 3 were Built To Spill, Foo Fighters & U2.
I've seen BTS twice (NOLA & ATL). Saw FF last summer in BHM. All 3 were great shows.
My updated list is My Morning Jacket, Neil Young w/Crazy Horse & U2.
Young's playing Huntsville May 5th and ATL May 7th but a work outage has me busy till the 15th. Hope to catch him, later in the month, in Bridgeport or Chicago.
MMJ will play Capital Groove and Bourbon & Beyond this year but I'd rather see them on tour than at a festival.

Turnpike is on my list to see too.
Trampled by Turtles is my least favorite progressive bluegrass band. They're solid. I can understand why people like them, but they do nothing for me. Ha.
Molly Tuttle and the Golden Highway are on 17ing fire. They're awesome! I've seen them a couple times this past year. Kyle Tuttle, their banjo player, no relation to Molly was in Jeff Austin's band before Jeff passed away.
Caught Tool in Biloxi the end of January. Been wanting to see them for 25 years. Did not disappoint. Fantastic show. First concert was the Rush Signals tour in Jackson in '82. Saw Boston in '95 in Pensacola. VH in Jackson. David Lee Roth in Biloxi in the late 80's. Journey in Biloxi in '87. Bon Jovi in Biloxi in '87.
Bucket list shows would be the Stones and Peter Gabriel

I’d like to see Trampled by Turtles do a full non-festival set.
I thought their set was decent.
I’ll be seeing Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway next month and look forward to a full set from them— 45 minutes was just too brief.
Last year was the first time I’ve seen the band perform live.
I’ve seen Molly perform a couple times before. She opened for and played with OCMS in Hattiesburg in ‘21 and was in Bela Fleck’s My Bluegrass Heart show at the Ryman in ‘22.
Kyle is great. I saw him open a bluegrass fest Memorial Day weekend in southern Illinois in ‘21.
The last great Rock concert I went to see was KISS in Tupelo back in the 90s
Travis Tritt and Brooks and Dunn in the 90s too at Tupelo
I haven't been back to one since
*I did have a chance to meet some good country stars at work occasionally.

Never got to see BB or Ray Charles. Need to see Tyler Childers. Going see Turnpike Troubadours and Jason Isbell. Pretty much saw all the 70s rock greats other than the Cars.
I saw the Eagles and Steely Dan in NOLA in February. Helluva show.
Henley and Walsh are 76 (!) but can still get it done. They sounded great. Henley played drums almost the whole 2.5 hours they played, and they really featured Walsh's stuff, playing all his James Gang stuff and his staple Life's Been Good.
My hard rock / metal list:
Iron Maiden
Rammstein
Metallica
Iron Maiden
Rammstein
Metallica
They're probably 40 years to young for you to have heard of them... They're all in their 40's.
Johnny Cash, Hendrix, Pink Floyd
Zepplin would make the list but I've seen Page and Plant so I'm crossing that one off. CCR would make the list but I've seen Fogerty so I'm crossing that one off. Was able to catch Eagles, Stones, GnR, Buffet, John Prine, Bad Co, Skynard (2nd iteration) and a couple of others so my list is pretty complete for me but not getting to see Johnny Cash still haunts me.

I bet they were good. I saw Steely Dan a few years ago in Orange Beach. I doubt I will see the 3 I mentioned as I'm pretty lazy these days. Could be old age.
Concert tickets are too damn expensive now. Anyway I remember seeing Kansas as the first concert I attended for $7.50.
Kansas was my first as well. Probably about the same ticket price. They were a really good live band. Also saw them open for Styx in 1998 when Dennis deYoung had briefly rejoined Styx. That was a good 70s era rock show.
I saw them four times with other acts, and they were great. Their great musicianship surprised me.
I'm with you on Rush! I like Styx but I'm just not a huge fan of Led Zepplin. But Rush, heck yeah.
Another Rush tour is never going to happen. And really, Geddy’s voice is shot. Clockwork Angels was a great album & a great way to go out on a high note.
i would absolutely love to go but im afraid "my get up and go got up and went" regarding concerts... they would be the ones to make me get back out though ... unless they brought the Tupac hologram tour back around...
Molly Hatchet without Danny Joe Brown is a cover band. I don't see Mark Farner and Dan Brewer ever reconciling. I'd go see Farner live, but have no interest in GFR without him.
Molly Hatchet , I looked it up and all the original members of the band are deceased, formed in 1971. Getting old
They are all cover bands at this point. I mean ZZ Top and Lynyrd Skynyrd are playing at Landers this coming weekend. But not really.
I have seen those bands in their prime and this ain't that.

I was meant the orginal lineup, but yeah. No kidding on the GFR reunion, what happened was real crappy thing to do to a bandmate.
The Tool tickets were a little over $800 for myself and my wife. It was one hell of a production, though. Perfect sound. And they were ON that night. Here's what you get.
My parents saw them in St Louis last month. He said that Steely Dan didn’t play Peg or FM in their set list.
Sturgill Simpson with Tyler Childers. I had tickets to their show in Southaven but covid killed that show and I don't think that will ever happen again.
If I could go back in time Ray Charles would be at the top of my list.

The Joshua Tree was released when I was an undergrad at State so I’ve followed them casually for years.
U2 is a great arena act and I’m a bit jealous of my older friends who got to see them perform in smaller venues. Their 2016 show at the Superdome was amazing.
They also grate on people for many reasons: One being because of their extreme earnestness.
A lot of Americans think the earnestness is political. And it can be perceived that way since everything eventually is.
Quite a few folks also think the earnestness is religious… it makes sense since a lot of their lyrics go into faith but at the same time they keep religion at a distance.
Also, since they’re a success story and come from Ireland, the Irish love to pick at them too— it’s an Irish thing.
When they retire and/or die, they’ll be honored like many of the other great musicians from Ireland and the Dublin with a statue or statues.
Thanks. Was wondering if I was the only one.
Kansas was my first too. At The Orpheum in Memphis. Ticket price sound about right. Probably circa 1979 or so.
I had a GA pit ticket to that show.
It was my last chance to get up close to see both of them perform.
