Your last concert was to see who and when?

@thepigdog - Not only do small venues count, you actually get extra credit for seeing a show in a small venue!

This last year I saw Bruce Cockburn in a 200 seat room and I saw Richard Thomson in a 450 seat room. Both shows were incredibly intimate and outstanding.

I would always prefer to see a great artist in a small venue over seeing a "mainstream" band in a large arena. However, I did enjoy seeing U2 twice this summer on their Joshua Tree stadium tour......

King Crimson, Cleveland 11/24/17.  A totally awesome show.  Last saw them in 1982 at their first US gig after releasing Discipline.  Fripp and Levin have lost none of their chops.  3 drummers didn't hurt a bit, either. The hall was the Hard Rock Rocksino.  Smaller venue, maybe 1000 or so seats.  A great spot to see bands that benefit from smaller places.  Recommended!

If you have "any interest" in 50-60’s music/entertainment values... this show ROCKS!!! I could not have been more pleased with the whole experience. Just plain old great showmanship!!! Loved It!!!

John McLaughlin, Jimmy Herring and their bands--separately and then together (playing tunes from the Mahavishnu Orchestra songbook) at the Paramount Theater in Austin, 11/30/17.  Supposedly it was Mclaughlin's farewell tour.  He's still at the top of his game and it was great to hear him play those great tunes from the 70's again (as well as his newer material).  I hadn't heard Mr. Herring before but he is a fine guitarist with a good band behind him.  All in all, a good night out.
