Deftones in May. As long as this one doesn't get canceled too. Bought high dollar tickets for their past two shows in proximity and both were canceled. The last show in September got canceled due to them canceling their own show to play Bonaroo (I was pissed!) then they canceled Bonaroo (this mad me smile). We'll try again in May.

+1 on the recommendation for ear protection. I wear Etymotic Research ER20XS to hockey games and can easily hear the person next to me while not losing my hearing

In my defense, we were in the nosebleed section of a big arena show. It was f'ing hot and stuffy up there. Like 80 degrees. it was about 10:00 PM and I had been drinking since about noon but stopped drinking when we got to the show so the buzz was wearing off and the tiredness was setting in. It was dark. The music was rhythmic, pulsing, and boom out I went. I remember maybe 1 or 2 songs and that was it. My ass-hat buddies just let me sleep through it. At leas they were kind enough to wake me up at the end instead of just leaving me for the janitors to mop up. |

No worries, or issues for me covid wise... I just attended Aftershock 2021 in October In Sacramento, 140,000+ people there. I'm not vac'ed, just had to get a negative covid test 3 days before.
I was there for the weekend show days, soooo many good bands there. Even some OG's, like Misfits, Metallica, Anthrax, Social Distortion, etc.. |

My wife was super excited to see a Cirque du Soliel show in Vegas years back. We booked tickets for the show "Ka" and it started pretty late. 10:00 PM maybe. Same night that we flew in from the East Coast so it's already like 1:00 AM body time. Ka was that show they had at the MGM grand where the performer died years back. I can totally see how/why. A massive wall, like 50+ feet high. With performers leaping from one foothold to the next as they scrambled up and down with mesmerizing speed. The whole soundtrack was a rhythmic tribal drum beat. As with the Tool concert it was warm, dark, and I was tired. Those beats man, they just put me out cold! |

Since last year we've seen Dave Attell, Pablo Francisco, Brian Regan, Mark Normand, Jim Jefferies, and Mastodon live. We also saw Bert Kreischer but it was an outdoor thing at a drive-in, not packed into a tiny club.
We've still been going out to eat, went bar hopping on the finacee's birthday earlier this year and she even has an autoimmune disease. We may go see Bob Saget in a few months since I've heard his standup is hilarious and raunchy as hell. And I'll probably break down and drive to Dallas to see Deftones again, saw them on the Gore tour and it was awesome. My lady hasn't seen them before and we both really like the new album, so it would be worth it. |

Yeah - that's a bucket list band...even one I'd consider travel to another city to see.

Friend just invited me to go see Rage Against the Machine in April. Tickets are like $400-$650 though...and it's in Oakland.
Not sure if I'm gonna go yet, but if we do I'm not driving my car...

Now that I'm 25 years older, back when Rage was one of my favorite bands, I tend to shy away from the political bullshit, which pretty much makes me not want to listen to them. A hardcore funk band like no other, but I don't have all that Rage anymore. |

As for me personally, I'm pretty much out for any show in the near future. Any band I'd want to see would be performing in Chicago proper, and I won't go anywhere near that place now. I refuse to spend a penny there after what the mayor let happen to such a beautiful city. Also, I don't feel like getting mugged or shot either. It used to be a funny joke but it isn't anymore.

Seeing them Feb 26 at the Innings Festival in Tempe to mark the opening day of Spring Training in Az. Never seen them before. While I am looking forward to the Foo, I am even more stoked to see the undercard. Billy Strings in the house.

If I liked concerts I would, but I did "Risk My Life" driving to work today. Car accident happens every minute of every day, but I still brave the drive to work.
I'm a rebel.

Saw Hall and Oates with Squeeze at the Hollywood Bowl in November and had to show vac card to get in, played well as they were fun live for some old school hits!
