Re: Concert You Would Like To Go To

Paul McCartney's new "Got Back" tour. The 3 previous MACCA concerts I've been to were by far the best concerts I've ever seen. 

Long live Sir Paul! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Andre Botchelli, El Divo.  Both will be in Northern,  CA this year during summer, I think.  I'm old and love that type of music.

I will have to be satisfied listening to the disc of have of them, or my iphone.  Can't drive there, too far, but I did when I was younger.  My daughter loved Tony Orlando and Dawn and I took her when she was 13.  He even gave her a kiss on the hand and this girl was over the moon.

Ah, the good old days.


El Divo may not be touring.  The lead singer, Carlos Marin, died from Covid recently.

Billy Idol. Have had tickets to see him 2 times so far.  First try was to see him at the Big E fair in W. Springfield, Ma.  Got sick and could not go.  Second try was last week in Boston. He was touring with Journey.  Billy has a serious sinus infection so canceled some of his dates. Toto replaced him.  Toto was great, Journey for me is not Journey without Steve Perry.  Just hope I get to hear Billy in person before he stops touring!

OMG. The concert was just advertised 2 days ago on TV. If he is the dark hair person, he was my favorite.  So sad. I will have to look at my DVD i play in the car.  Thanks for the info.

Re: Concert You Would Like To Go To

I have been to so many concerts in my lifetime that I have no desire to see anyone else.

Like another poster stated, I am sorry I never got to see Elvis though Smiley Sad

The Rolling Stones in a small venue. They did a pop up concert at the Double Door in Chicago in the 90's. That would have been awesome.

 

The last concert we saw before Covid shut down was Celine Dion. I cried.

I've also been to a ton of concerts...mostly back in the 1970s what would be called "classic rock" today.

 

While I never saw Elvis, when I was in tenth grade (1970) I went to visit a friend who had moved to Memphis.  Her mom was pretty cool and would drive us places.  During the visit she said let's go to Graceland and drove us over. 

 

At the time is was a semi-rural road and no one was around.  We stopped on the side of the road to take pictures (such tourists!!) in front of the gates with musical notes going into the property.

 

My friend's mom started talking with one of the workers inside the gate and he let us in on a golf cart and gave us a tour of the outside of the property...Elvis was still alive then but wasn't home....that's my exciting story!  LOL!

 

While I did go to a lot of concerts there are a few that I would have liked to have seen...The Beatles (did see Paul & George a few times), Pink Floyd & Queen to name a few.

 

One of my favorite groups was the progressive rock group, Renaissance.  I saw them many times over the years and I just love their lead singer's voice, Annie Haslam.  They are from England and found out at one point that she had moved right in my county in PA!

 

ETA:  The thing about going to a concert today, I just don't have the tolerance for a large venue.  It was fun when I was younger but I can't stand them today.  

 

The last concert we went to was to see Al Stewart a few years ago at a local winery....he was fabulous!
