Anyone seeing any shows this summer? I normally see four of five a summer. So far, I am only going to be seeing one (I havent looked at an events calender in a long time). For those who care, I have tickets to the Iron Maiden/Dio/Motorhead tour (will be seeing it tomorrow night). I guess there are/will be quite a few classic rock bands touring this summer. For the country guys, whose touring?

ive seen The Benjamin Gate, Seventh Day Slumber, Jeremy Camp, and Radial Angel, and The Elms so far this year, these are all very very good christian rock bands. Im goin to see Michael W Smith at the Kentucky State Fair in august

 

I was just searching around for tickets for when they hit the west coast ...Havn't figured out which city I'm going to catch them in yet, since Big Bear is 50 to 100 miles from everywhere So-Cal.
I might catch them in Long Beach, that would be epic.

Let us know how ya like the show.

 

Iron Maiden I mean.

 

Nick has Michael W done any new albums lately?

 

I saw Pearl Jam in April at the Pepsi Center in Denver (I had luxury box seats to that one...), and I just saw the Red Hot Chili Peppers at Fiddler's Green. That was an awesome show.
I am going to see Neil Young and Crazy Horse at Red Rocks on the 30th, that should be a killer show. Looking forward to seeing him again.
Other than that, I don't care if I see another show this summer. I am purposely missing the Summer Sanitarium Tour, cuz the tickets cost too much and all-day stadium shows suck. Plus, who wants to pay $75 for a ticket to a show that you wont REALLY get to see all the bands, and your stuck on a football field in the hot sun? Not me. That's the same reason why I'm missing Lollapalooza this year, even though I want to see Incubus and Audioslave. When are bands going to stop going out on these stupid mega-tours?
Sorry for the rant...

I saw Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers July 5 in Bozeman. I am going to see Charlie Daniels on Auigust 10. Thats about it for this summer, its been kinda slow.

 

yes, Michael has done a few worship albums in the past couple years, and they are very good

We recently saw Charlie Dannels at Wild Adventure in Valdosta, GA. Our Neighbor works at a local radio station so we got free passes. Rode up in the station's van and parked 50 yards from the concert. Excellant show.

 

any y'all coming up to see the stones in Toronto?

 

I'm going to see Warped Tour in Atlanta Wednsday, and almost every friday night I go to the capri, a place in augusta that has local bands from across the country. For $5 i can see 4 hours of music. Gotta love it.

 

Went to see Tim McGraw when he was in town earlier this year Also went to Brooks and Dunn's Neon Circus and Wild West Show and saw them and Brad Paisley, Rascle Flatts and a couple of other guys when they were in the George. I'll be headed back there in less than a week for Kenny Chesney and Keith Urban, too. That'll be a blast! After that I think I'll have to wait untill september when Dirks Bentley comes back to do the Puyallup since I cant get in to see Trick Pony or Gary Allen since they're playing at a casino an' I ain't 21. Totally unfair. Oh wait! Mark Wills! Gotta see him, he'll be playing at our tiny county fair, crammed between the food barn and the kiddie rides. That'll be a kick.

 

My man Toby Kieth was at Cheyenne Frontier days on Saturday. Have you seen his F350? It's one of the Tonka prototypes.

 

I plan on catching Iron Maiden in Chicago. Closest show to me since they aren't coming to ST. Louis this year (What's up with that anyway?!?). Since I don't really listen to anything but Iron Maiden (and their spin-offs like Blaze, etc.) I don't plan on any other shows this summer.

BTW, Ironbelly, even though I haven't seen the show you know that it's going to rock big time!!!
