Re: What gig are you going to?
I got a ticket to see Styx tonight - they are headlining the Speed Street concert tonight in downtown Charlotte, NC, linked to the Coca-Cola 600 NASCAR race tomorrow. Around 3pm I checked to see who was supporting - it was Sugarcreek, a band so obscure that I had forgotten they existed, a band so obscure that they don't even have a Wikipedia entry! In the dim and distant past of a (vaguely) misspent youth I remembered reading about them, that they were somewhat a "cult" band, that made a few decent albums. I couldn't have told you that they were a Charlotte band, and I certainly never expected to get the opportunity to.see them live (OK, mostly because I had forgotten they existed 
), especially not 30 years later, in their home town. They weren't bad, in a Journey, Night Ranger kinda way, but there is a reason why they never made tye big time. Still, I am glad to have seen them. 
There was a similar story last week, when, just a few days before Bob Seger's farewell tour hit Charlotte I learned that Grand Funk Railroad were supporting. This was a surprise because I thought they had split in the 70's!
. Anyway, they weren't bad, and surprisingly still had two of three original members! Also surprisingly, they were now a 5 piece, not the power trio that they had started out as, adding a guitar player from Kiss/Meatloaf, a singer from 38 Special, and a keyboard player from nowhere in particular (he had apparently toured with John Secada and with Bob Seger) but was local from Charlotte, NC. I was pleased to have seen GFR, and Bob Seger was OK too, in a Tom Petty and The Eagles kinda way, but at the the softest fringes of my musical interests.

I recently bought tickets to see ZZ Top & Cheap Trick (together) in August, and also Lenny Kravitz in September.

Re: What gig are you going to?
I think this is going to be a good year .... kicking off with a band that I have wanted to see for many, many years - Molly Hatchet, tomorrow (Thursday) night. After getting a ticket, I checked to see which version of the band I was going to be seeing, as I knew that the original lead singer had ded a few years ago. Well, the band is now the version that a guitar player who joined in the late 1990's "purchased the rights to the name and brand" around 2000, so more than 25 years after the band started out. The longest-serving member of the band joined in 1984, and the others joined this century, in one case just last year. So this will undoubtedly be the least authentic band I have ever seen! 
Then I am following up with Grace Potter on Friday night, and The Dead South on Saturday night. In February I have tickets for Joe Bonamassa, and then Queenryche supported by John 5 - I like Queensryche, though sadly they are without lead singer Geoff Tate these days, but I am most excited to see John 5.
And then Kix in March, another band that I had never expected to see, and didn't realize were still around.

Re: What gig are you going to?
Strange how this thread just kinda died...
Saw Jason Isbel weekend before last, livestreamed into our living room from Atlanta. Now maybe i am old, but decent wine, comfortable chairs, music as loud as you want - what is not to like? I am trying to find a website that lists what livestreams are coming up
