Is anyone here still into live concerts these days?

Several years ago while our son was getting his Masters degree in percussion at the University of North Texas, they had a summer jazz festival that we went to. All entertainment was free. Saw Tower of Power, band and sound was fantastic.

Just before the Pandemic went to see REO, Don Felder and Styx. All used the same system, but had their own sound engineers. REO's sound was horrible. A total disappointment. Felder and Styx were great.

@bmbmzig Tower Of Power used to tour with Little Feat (yes I am old).

REO has always sounded bad live had the chance to see them in the early 80's 

As long as Phish is still touring I'm going

@slaw -- I've seen Trower several times, but I have to say the first was the best.  He was touring "Bridge of Sighs" with several tracks that would be on "For Earth Below".  James Dewar's voice and bass playing meshed perfectly with Bill Lordan's drumming, and allowed Trower to go in and out of leads seamlessly.  He set up his Marshall stack in a unique way  that just put out an amazing tone.

I was supposed to see Godspeed You! Black Emperor at Haw River a month ago, but several dates were postponed due to Efrim's illness.  I'm waiting for rescheduled dates.  Haw River Ballroom is beautiful, along with Visulite.

@thecarpathian -- When Zevon played "Roland..." live that night, he used an old pump organ.  Absolutely mind blowing spin on that song. Just Zevon and the pump organ.  He utilized the creaks, groans, and "whooshing" noises the organ made to add emphasis on parts of the song.  I can still hear it almost 30 years later.

@allenf1963 ,

Son of a biscuit, I am envious of you seeing that!

Couldn't you have just lied and told me he sucked??!
