Tickets for LA sold out within 2 minutes of the presale. All tickets have names printed of, distributed 72 hours before the show and credit card matching name on ticket to be shown at entrance. Like that they’re doing that, hopefully I at least missed out to real fans rather than touts.

Radiohead, yes...Arctic Monkeys...not so much. They sidelined a year or so ago at the Garden and it was barely quarter full. They do fill out smaller venues like the House of Blues, which is a great place to see them....but it's nearly the whole of the Boston Brits group who go, it would seem

I've hardly seen any bands this year, but next year is looking a bit better...
Got 2 in February - Vonda Shepard and then The Fisherman's Friends at my local small theatre (Tivoli in Wimborne for those that know Dorset).
Joan Baez at the Albert Hall in May as part of her farewell tour.
Catching another final tour - Runrig are retiring after 40 years - seeing them at the Hammersmith Apollo in June.
The Proclaimers are touring next year too - shall probably catch them.

Snagged two tickets for Elton John in March 2019 in Columbia, SC. Third to last appearance in US.

So the list so far for this year, David Bryne, Roger Daltrey (not the Who, saw them last year), Jack White, ZZ top and John Fogerty. Also Rochester has a Jazz Festival in June, so we have a 9 day pass for that - will be fun

Travel plans for the summer are up in the air until daughters competition schedule is finalized. Can't commit to flying to the East coast right now. I'll wait and hopefully more local dates will be added.

'Postmodern Jukebox' in April for the boss and me.
Only the second gig we've been to and it's another sit down. Must be showing my age, the last stand up I went to was a Paul Weller gig in Plymouth, memorable because I had a set to with a drunk...

Not that I'm going, but quite amused that the rescheduled Liam Gallagher gig was posted, for April and November...only for most people to miss that it's for 2019

Went to see Manchester Orchestra at a small gig back in the summer, those lads are keen, they did a non-stop high energy set for just over three hours, thought they were going to keep going until dawn!!
Angling for tickets to go see the Driveby Truckers in February.
I see Fisherman's Friends have been a topic in the past, I saw them in 2011, original pre-accident group, that was a great night.

My ability to go depending on if I can spare the money for a ticket of course but we won't worry about that just yet
