What's new

Live music in 2022? Have you seen or will you?

We are going to see Elton John too. He'll be in Vancouver next week. Haven't been to a concert in ages, long before covid hit.
 
My oldest son and I went to see Twenty One Pilots in August this year. It was so fun to see a concert with him and it was his favorite band, so I felt super lucky that he was even willing to go to a concert with his Mom. :)
 
We recently went and saw Bela Fleck with his My Bluegrass Heart Tour at Wolf Trap this past summer. It was amazing to get out to a concert again. We hardly ever go to them so this was a real treat. I'm not sure if we'll go to another one simply due to the price of tickets/fees, but we really did enjoy that concert.

There is just something about live music that is special. It is partly the sound quality (although -- since I'm old -- I don't like it too loud and often wear ear protection :lol) but I think also the shared experience with the audience and the performer. But, you're right, it is expensive these days! I have heard that since music artists basically make no money off music (record, cd, dvd) sales since Spotify and the like, that touring is the main way they make money. So, I try to look at the amount I USED to spend on buying music to ease the sting of ticket prices today.
 
We have gone back and forth on a few shows this year, but the only one we made it to was at our town's 4th of July celebration - Everclear, Fastball, and The Nixons. I'm always hesitant to buy tickets during the winter because I never know if we'll actually be able to make it there. I'm planning to buy season lawn passes for a venue not far from here when they come out again. Hopefully I won't miss the window like I did this year.
Crowds don't really bother me much :)
 
Fave band of all time and outstanding live performance is Tool. We saw them late 2019 just before the world shut down, and we saw them again in March of this year. I would go again every single time I could.
Also recently went to see For King and Country live, and that was a really good show as well.
Obviously two very different music vibes, but I like them both!
 
Bart loves the hear the crickets make live music!
