Is anyone here still into live concerts these days?


Concert Ticket Prices Are Expected to Keep Rising in 2025 and Beyond

keeps me wondering if it's even worth it anymore (smaller live music venues excluded as they don't typically charge as much)

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.

Saw Styx foreigner great concert still have great voices and sound had 7 crown i tec 12000 amps sounded great.reo and zz top all in the past year.now because I have more time and finances than when I was 20 years old.i guess it is a quality of life issue now.i use the I tec 12000 on my woofer towers with 6 12 inch woofers and they sound great.on another 6x12 inch woofers I have a bunch of high watt ice amps.enjoy the music weither it's live or in your home.

He's one I'm sorry I missed. I would have loved to hear a live acoustic 'Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner.'
