Man, I suck at seeing live music these days. Last live show I saw was Dave Matthews in Aug. of last year.
Getting old blows.
I swear to God, late last night I was searching for a Dave Matthews concert poster, with the idea of a faux giveaway on Hardcore Husky. I was going to say "Poster who picks the most accurate score of UW-Kent State wins two tickets to see Dave Matthews... with Yellow Snow!" (Knowing how much you hate Dave Matthews).
But I spent 3-4 minutes looking for the right image but couldn't find it, so I figured it wouldn't be funny enough to post without the best image. It may not have been funny enough to post with the right image either, I dunno

It's not so much that I hate Dave with every ounce of my being. It's more that I hate when people think that Dave is one of the GOATS of the era.
Jessie Colin Young played at the hole in the wall jazz club in Oakland in 2019, very cool to see him with his son and their little band, played solo some of his old songs which was magical.. true giants of awesome music Mark Knopfler and also Don Henley played at the very cool Berkeley Greek Theatre... humorous evening with preteens at the sharks stadium to see Katy Perry.
The most touching was the fundraising musical tribute at the LA House of Blues for the much loved Paul Atkinson [zombies singer guitarist] that had been my wife's A&R record label executive.
[in addition to the Zombies, Atkinson became an artists and repertoire (A&R) executive at Dick James Music, the Beatles’ publishing company, which developed into a production company, discovering and signing such acts as Elton John, ABBA, Bruce Hornsby, Mr. Mister, Judas Priest, Michael Penn and Grayson Hugh, who Atkinson brought to MCA Records from RCA Records in 1991... and he had also worked with Paul McCartney, Aerosmith, Eurythmics, The Beach Boys, Lyle Lovett, B.B. King, Tom Petty and Pink Floyd, among others.]
So at the tribute, For the first time on stage in America since 1965, Paul Atkinson strapped on his guitar and joined vocalist Colin Blunstone, keyboardist Rod Argent, bassist Chris White and drummer Hugh Grundy, thus reuniting all five original members of The Zombies.
The audience went nuts... the band mates including Paul played a few tunes they sounded amazing... and a star studded parade of musicians followed, each playing a few tunes including Brian Wilson and the remaining beach boys to pay living tribute to Paul who died shortly thereafter from cancer.
I'd like to have seen the Who... yow... maybe not at Safeco but even so.
Of the three shows I’ve seen there (Billy Joel, Pearl Jam, Who) The Who had the least favorable sound mix, but mixing an orchestra with what was once-upon-a-time one of the loudest bands on the planet cannot be an easy task…it was ok, better than several of the Kingdome and Coleseum / Key shows I’ve attended.
Last: Metallica 2019 Next: Rob Zombie, Mudvayne, Static-X this summer
Not to side track, but how are Static X still a band without Wayne Static? Pretty unique guy to try and replace and say you're the same band.
I'll let you know after this summer when I see them. I am/was a HUGE Static-X fan. Destroyer is one of my all tim favorite songs. Almost impossible to replace Wayne. We shall see. I first saw Rob Zombie, with White Zombie, in 1992. Crazy that I will see him 30 years later. I saw Metallica in 1986, then again in 2019. 33 years. Wild.
