    If they're up your alley, Maiden is such an amazing live experience. Totally worth going when they're around.

    I told myself years ago to try and catch more bands that I haven't seen before, but kind of regretting not seeing them a few months ago when they were last in Denver.

    And while I don't have any connection to him, thanks for checking out Romero!

    In regards to Charles Romero I just listened to a few songs of his. I really liked What We Lost in the Fire. Good tune.

    .
    Wasn't sure who the opener was going to be (it wasn't listed originally so I figured it would be a different local opening act on each date - which it was for us.) Little sleuthing via Instagram and learned who the opener was - and it was super local to me - Christopher Charles Romero. I even went down to our local music store and grabbed all of his CDs. Some good stuff.

    We also saw Alabama earlier this year. I'm not sure if I posted about it or not.

    Lead singer is old, voice not great but not awful, but he still tried to put on a fun show. Pretty cool that you were able to catch Dylan. It's just about the experience and creating memories.

    Too funny! This is exactly how I felt about going to see Bob Dylan not too long ago. Voice is shot, he didn't play a lot of what you might expect, and there was next to no interaction with the crowd, but it was still a fun experience and I'm glad that I got to see him before he's gone.

    I'm glad we went but I didn't care for the opener, they were very jammy, and Bocephus very much underwhelmed. He bragged the whole set, didn't sing his major hits, shortened and/or changed the lyrics of the few he did, and seemed to have general disdain to be on stage. All that said at least I saw him live before he passed.

    Truth. I do see a typo in my message. It should have said before he passes. The guy is still alive and kicking.

    In December of 2019 I had a pleasure to visit an Andre Rieu concert in Lisbon as I was visiting my friend in his property in Portugal. One of the best concerts in my life! Music is fantastic, performance is on a high level, audience is respectful and happy. I will go to his concert this year too.

    My brother-in-law offered me tickets for Tool but I passed as I was never really a fan. Probably should have reconsidered considering.......

    I like Breaking Benjamin too. I saw them back in 2008 with Seether and Three days Grace. Great show.
    Funny you should mention that -- Three Days Grace opened for them on the show we saw (along with Chevelle, but they were really disappointing).

    The last concert I attended was Tool on November 2, 2019. Little did we know how much our world was going to change in just a short time after this. It was a mind blowing concert that I will never forget.

    That's me in the Rush shirt.

    Last was a Breaking Benjamin concert -- I took my wife, but she's actually got me to liking them quite a bit over the couple of years (I could take 'em or leave 'em before).
