Is anyone here still into live concerts these days?

Had the pleasure of many a show in and outdoors flower power, hippie wannabe, sex, drugs and Rock ‘n’ roll. I’d feel silly doing that 💩 now. Still love hot rodding, big sound, fine wine etc, but on my schedule in my cave and with my preferred company. Not to mention the coin people want to listen to S… sound, ridiculous.

@pvnasby -- That’s cool. I wasn’t aware filming for that movie was in Winston-Salem. The city had quite a few movies, television episodes, and commercial work done here from 1988 to the mid-2000’s, then it sadly dropped off. A lot of filming has to do with the NC School of the Arts being here. I wish the city would leverage it more to get work. The State cut funding, and there was an exodus to the State of Georgia for film projects.

In 2024 I witnessed 14 shows from Al DiMeola at a 235 seat theater in Hudson Falls NY to Springsteen at the JMA Wireless Dome in Syracuse. I loved every show just like I did all those many years before following the Grateful Dead around the country. Now that I am 64, post 2 major back surgeries and arthritis in my knees, hips, and shoulders I find I can no longer sit or stand long enough to enjoy the shows to their fullest. 2025 will be a decidedly down year for the number of shows I see. I see Dream theater in March, that might be my only show of 2025.
