Is anyone here still into live concerts these days?

I still go to live shows, but I’m far more picky about who I go see than I used to be.   I have to really want to see them. And I try to make an event out of it. If the show is in a new city, I’ll make a weekend of it and check out the area. As a result, it can get pricey so I want to make sure it’s an artist I want to see. 
I’m trying to get to those great artists who may be “in the twilight of their careers”.      
I hate that feeling of regret when I learn that an artist is no longer touring (for whatever reason), and I missed them live.

It's been tough since COVID. Used to go to several shows a year, would pony up the money to see bigger bands. Once did a VIP thing to U2, 2 tickets were almost $1k. Also had side stage GA to The Rolling Stones. Think that was a $250 ticket back around 2017.

When COVID hit, so many shows were canceled, it just keeps going. Had 3rd row center for Rage Against the Machine, canceled, Foo Fighters, canceled, Black Keys, canceled, along with a few others.

Now almost any show is $250+ that doesn't include fees. Learned that you pay for 3 tickets but only get 2. It's 1 ticket worth in fees. 

My kid has discovered K-Pop, been going to all the shows. Some are cheap, some are not. My kid has started to go solo to a few, it's hard to spend $800 on 2 tickets to see a K-Pop band. 

Going to see Nathaniel Rateliff and Joe Bonamosa in February, back to back shows. Tickets for them were reasonable. 

I recently saw the band Amplifier do an online concert.  Just them jamming in some house.  Very enjoyable.  Only cost $8.  Seems like the way of the future.

I don’t attend too many anymore, but lots in the past. I pick and choose these days, with unique shows or iconic venues getting the nod. I caught the last two Dead and Company shows at the Sphere this last summer. The shows were great music-wise, and the venue, visuals and sound are spectacular. Drove out to Red Rocks a few years ago to see one of our local bands play, also very worth the trip.
