Still to come we have tickets to see, Dick Dale w/ his child prodigy son, John Hiatt (again) w/ Sean Colvin, Sammy Hagar w/ Montrose, Steve Miller Band w/ George Thorogood and the Destroyers also w/ Greg Kihn Band, The Eagles, Dick Dale (2nd time this season), and ending the season the way I started with Jimmy and the Reefers in Vegas on Oct. 29th. If Jimmy does decide to play San Diego, we will throw that one in as well.

So what how is your Summer Concert experience shaping up....

Barenaked Ladies and Dave Matthews last night....

JB in Philly 8/25.....

That is all...

not too much for me, although there were several that i've wanted to go to but couldn't for specific reasons, such as being out of town or it being too expensive.

So far just Montgomery Gentry for me.

Not much for me this summer with keet in college and both us moving to opposite ends of the U.S. Then there's the house remodeling.

BAB and I took keet and friend to see Chesney, Wilson and Kracker in Dallas before the big move.

We're going to see the Los Lonely Boys on the 13th in Seattle. Dadgumit I need a Texas Flag!!!

But I'm REALLY looking forward to seeing McCartney in November!!!



and sometime between the Boys and McCartney there's this marriage thing happening too. Damn I need a dress.........

So far its' been Ryan Adams twice and Whiskeytown once. Ryan's homecoming show in Raleigh in June was so good we took off to see him later that same week at the House of Blues in Myrtle Beach. The impromptu Whiskeytown show took place at a club up the street following Ryan's gig at Meymandi in Raleigh.

The only other show I have on my agenda at the time is Allison Moorer and Steve Earle later this month at the Museum of Art in Raleigh.

Nothing so far, but:

Neil Diamond - Tonight!! (for hubby)
Jesse McCartney - tomorrow night - Regal Big Screen Concert (for keets)
Jimmy - Sept 4th (for me!!)

Tossing around the idea of Chesney in a few weeks, or Live Aid next month, or Jimmy in Vegas in October... we shall see.

So far for me:

John Hiatt and the North Mississippi All-Stars. this is the best show I have seen this year.

Todd Snider.


Coming up:

Whitesnake.

Hilliary Duff. Taking oldest daughter. Reward for straight A's.

Joe Ely/Hayes Carl. really looking forward to this show. Ely is a legand and I have heard good things about hayes Carl.

Only that they come highly recommended by Jenn of DBTs fame ("check the mail if you would please, Jenn"). Let me know how it goes.

I took my girls to that last year, and I thought she put on a helluva show, and it was actually quite a rockin' show to boot!

My only advice, is that if thunderously loud, high-pitched screaming bothers your ears, you may want to bring earplugs for the pre-show moments when a guy with a mic comes out and asks the crowd "are you ready to have fun", "are you ready for Hilary", and about a dozen scream-inducing questions... Once the show started, it never got too bad, but before - eek!!

Have fun! It's cool of you to take her!

So far, besides JB:
Black Crowes
The Radiators
Jerry Jeff Walker
Mark Knopfler
Little Feat

Still to come, besides JB:
Rodney Crowell
Little Feat again
U2

Jimmy Cliff March
Donny Osmond (don't ask) May
James Taylor June
Johnny Clegg (aug2) Great show by the way.
See him this month during the USA leg.

Coming up
2 Buffett shows in Aug. I guess John Frinzi if the tix are still available for the 24th.
Jerry Jeff Walker (if tix go on sale for the Jersey show in Oct)

May add Steven Wright for Sept.

Just JB for me.

Yeah I missed Jimmy Cliff, he really puts on a good show. Maybe next time he passes through.
