mine was in november seeing my friend's band final fall, and the local bands solidarity, and one man's opinon. It was during the afternoon at school and we were all (the rockers at least) really pissed that we had to sit down, so me and a couple guys decided to defy it, we almost got suspended for it, but it was worth it!
there's a video with me in it right here:

when the guy on the left does the solo behind his head, I'm the first guy to run up:dude:

just getting a case of cabin fever! When was the last show you've been to (which can include shows you've played at) and who was playing?
 
Probably David Lindley and Wally Ingram at a craphole bar in Boulder about 4 our 5 years ago. There was no seating, we had to stand for the entire show :(

Steve Miller, Carole King, and Bruce Willis Blues band in Ketchum this fall, with my good friend Spudman. I was a great show.

LOL!!!! Dang, where IS that spell checker. Wait, it wouldn't have caught that anyhow. :master: :D :beer: :rotflmao:
 
not counting a couple of local band shows....the last real concert was Eric Clapton/Derek Trucks/Robert Cray with my 11 year old son for his birthday. The funniest thing that happened was we saw his school librarian there....he thought that was cool!

Just played Friday night with Donna the Buffalo and Sim Redmond Band. What do you mean you've never heard of them?

Believe you me, I get the same thing all the time since I'm a pastor. When they see me at the grocery store it's as if they're saying, "You mean to say that Pastor Arnold needs to eat too?!?" Maybe they assume I wake up and there's manna all over my carpeting or something. One of the kids in our pre-school called me Jesus the other day. I thanked him for the compliment, but said I'm just me.

Back on topic (cue Porkins voice, "Stay on topic!") my last concert was the first in many moons. In November I saw Joe Bonamassa and Crosby Loggins at the Oneida Casino in Green Bay. Loggins was surprisingly good and his dear old dad came out for a couple of tunes. Joe blew my socks into the stratosphere. I like his albums, but none of the recordings I've heard so far have captured his live energy. I'll be paying attention for the next time he comes around here.

I remember as a kid seeing teachers and other adult authority figures in public places and being surprised to find out they had lives outside of the context of my own. It's like Ralph Wiggum's homage to Principal Skinner, "Prinicipal Skinner is an old man who lives at the school." I have a friend who is a teacher who often wonders whether or not he is running into the parents of his middle-school students when we go to shows, and another who is a college professor who often runs into his own students at shows ["oh my god, you're like a real person" is how I often describe the looks he gets].

He bores me to tears on the radio. Maybe, I should go to a show & open my ears.

Get a t-shirt that says "I play guitar" - you'll be a babe magnet.
 
Robert Earl Keen, a couple of years ago, in austin. he was here in waco recently, but we didn't go b/c the timing was off. i'm kinda over the 'huge venue' thing, unless it was someone i was really dying to see... mostly a small venue gal now. :D

The smart ones will either run or know ahead of time that they will have to feed, clothe and house you. Hopefully there are still some "babes" that will come around if you wear that shirt.

Otherwise, the one that usually works best just says "Rich."

I worked with him at a pretty small venue. He has some die-hard fans for sure.
 
This past weekend, I saw Third Day and Barlow Girl in concert. Both put on a really great show.
