The last actual concert I attended was in 1979 at the Cranbrook (Michigan) amphitheater. Opener was Juice Newton, headliner The Charlie Daniels Band. Great show.
Ever since then, most of the music I’ve enjoyed has been small impromptu jam sessions in public spaces or people’s back yards. Good times, but it’s been a long time.
My morning Angel 
And my Queen of Hearts.
February something or other 2022…
Bodyguarded Mr. Hetfield (Metallica)
Vegaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas!
Greta Van Fleet, Ice Nine Kills FREAKIN’ LOUD MAN!
The floor shook! Greta cooled it down to a low roar!
Seismic!
Pins and screws loosened in my legs!
Did I say FREAKIN’ LOUD! WHAT? 
Same as recently in North Carolina!
’ Enter Sandman!’ WHAT? Holy CRAP IT WAS AWESOME!
(Never do it again—it ramped up my PTS a little)
I smoked a Cigar in the middle of it all to calm down!
‘Nuthing else matters’ brought me to tears (I was verklempt!)
My favorite Concert ever! and that’s saying something!
Billy Joel, DIO ! (Oh my GOD!—I love him!) Not like that!
Santana, Bonnie Raitt (I LOVE HER!) Yepper! Just like that! Deep Purple, Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow!
Lynyrd Skynyrd (Freebird—tears again!) Outlaws
Engelbert Humperdink (I was drunk! sue me!)
Lamb of God! WHAT? PANTERA! (did you say something?)
If somebody bumped into me ina Mosh Pit it would be like ramming a '57 Chevy!
Ah, Good tymes! Thanks for the Topic Trever ! WHAT? 
He toured as late as last year. You might be able to catch him again this year 
My “hard rock” concerts back in the 90s, still soft by most standards.
Bon Jovi Keep the Faith tour
Pearl Jam Vitalogy tour (Mudhoney front act)
Van Halen 2007 reunion with David and Wolfgang, no Michael Anthony 
for my son’s first concert, was the loudest, the old Arco Arena’s horrible acoustics to blame.
‘He’s still alive?’…
89 years old, baby 
I don’t know how many more I’ve got left,but if that was to be the last one I went out with a bang. Musical heaven was Overkill, Exodus and Testament playing one right after the other. Power Trip is something ide pay to see again for sure.
I’ve seen ‘Testament’ (damn good) don’t know the others (yet)
When ‘Greta’ was introduced I was confused there was no chick singing.
A bunch of guy’s from Germany rocking the house. Not unusual I’ve seen other bands
that had female type names (no chicks!) Alice N Chains, Cinderella et al.
But I couldn’t take days of it. Nope, not this guy.
Like Cochella (plus $5-10,000?) I don’t think so.
The line to the portapotty turned me off.
You know the Metallica concert was one of the most ‘Orderly’
event I’ve been to. The flip side was MADNESS ! The Rolling Stones (Philadelphia)
(God knows when back in the day) They had hell’s Angels circling the Ballfield
INSIDE!, then they came out and drove through the crowd scattering us, turning over Ice coolers! (I picked up (14 bottles of Jack Daniels scattered to the wind as everybody rushed into ‘Stadium seating’—first come first serve). I said bag this. All that food left to waste, Beer, Booze, clothes. We ate Hero sandwiches and Heineken’s all the way home! (They sounded like sh!t anyway—to me!) I never felt I missed anything…
Did you know that Engledink Humperwinkle did a version of BTO’s “You Ain’t Seen Nothin’ Yet”???
How to tell you are old is, I don’t remember the last concert I attended; though I do 'member Nazareth in Minot ND a long time ago…
Last concert was Wednesday night actually, Paul Simon at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. My first time knowingly listening to Paul Simon and my first time at the Ryman. My wife was gifted two tickets 90 minutes before the show. LOL
Good concert, I absolutely LOVED the ALLLLL of the instrumental but was iffy on the 95% of the lyrics I actually could understand… they barely got above 70dB from the stage 
music to my ears which are starting to ring somewhat regularly.
I’ve started placing my pocket knife in my palm under my cellphone held at arms length with carabiner/keys dangling from my middle finger when I know I’m passing through a non-government metal detector 
Now that I’m not on the college campus daily, (students don’t have rights there 
), I’ve started carrying near daily. I don’t like not carrying at this point.
I just look in the mirror and say who is this old bastard?
still feel like I’m maybe 12???
When I say…
“I’ve had a drivers license longer than your mother is old”
“I was honorably Discharged before you were born”
“I was born in the 1950’s”
“My baby girl has grand kids”
‘When I was your age Dinosaur’s roamed the Earth…’
'We walked to school in the blizzards of '73 ! (That’s 1973 smartarse!) Uphill! Both way’s!
GOD was a Cherub!
Your Grandfather was eaten by Cannibals! (Needed a little more salt for my taste! )
Indians ruled New York! (oh wait that was last week! ARGH!)
The ‘Little Dipper’ was just a Gleam in the Big Dipper’s eye!
Maybe Im not that old after all. I played guitar in the late seventies all through the eighties and some of the nineties. I sold most of my guitars and equipment off. Since that concert I’ve become inspired to play again. I bought a guitar brand new then turned around and found an excellent condition relic from 1987. I dragged two old 2x12 amps out that I still own. Now the wife wants to play and so does my stepson. Thanks to a couple of cortisone shots in my left hand playing for extended periods is painful but not bad. Here’s to disturbing the neighborhood.
UGH was told I have 7 great grand kids… my head still thinks I’m around 12 though
When I ask for a 3 minute egg, the waiter asks for the money upfront 
When buying alcohol,
they card you not because you might not be 21 yet,
but that you might qualify for the senior discount.
