Re: What concert did you recently attend?
Finally got to see The Linda Lindas
Not a very good picture but I wanted to just enjoy the show insted of fiddling around with my phone. Damn these kids are fun, and they're having fun themselves. I hope it's always that way for them, they never get old and just "go through the motions" like so many bands I see nowadays (granted, I often go see bands whose best days are long behind them anyway). I don't know their tour schedule, and three of them are still in high school. Hell, one might not even be in high school yet. So they kinda have to work around that when it comes to touring. But next year they'll be playing massive stadiums with Green Day and Smashing Pumpkins, so if you get a chance to see them at a small venue before that happens, I suggest you do it ASAP.

Nick Lowe and Los Straitjackets.
Always good. I would have liked a bit more solo Straitjackets.
We got there early (gen ad) and sat up on a balcony in one of a dozen comfy seats, and the only seats with a table. We were almost as far away from stage as we could be (which actually wasn't all that far, it's a small venue), but we greatly preferred that to standing in a crowd for three hours.

I have a ton of shows that I haven't posted here, but I'll put this one for Shadows Fall. First time seeing them, they were disbanded for a while, and the drummer moved onto Flotsam & Jetsam, then Overkill, and the guitarist moved to Anthrax, so it looked like they were done, but miraculously, they reformed and have been touring, and look to be working on new music.

11/21/23 - In This Moment, Ice Nine Kills, Avatar & New Years Day in Greensboro
Personally I enjoyed Avatar the most from this lineup followed by New Years Day.

Re: What concert did you recently attend?
^^ I really like New Year's Day. I talked for a while with Ash Costello a couple of years ago after one of their sets at a festival. Avatar is hit and miss for me with their songs, but I like their live show. 
How may breaks did In This Moment take for Maria Brink costume changes?

11/24/23 - Martina McBride(Christmas show) - Martin Marietta Center for the Performing Arts
This was a last minute addition as my brother had originally bought these tickets as a surprise for his wife but ended up not being able to use them or sell them, so he transferred them to me. The reason he couldn't go was because he won tickets to the Garth Brooks concert at his bar in Nashville that took place on the same night.

I saw 15 bands on the Headbanger's Boat, but I'll just finish with a couple of the bigger bands. Testament played two sets on the boat, one contained the first album front to back and some others, and the other set had their second album front to back, so that was a nice treat.

Re: What concert did you recently attend?
The main headliner and boat sponsor was Lamb of God.
This inaugural cruise sold out during the presale, so definitely a demand for this heavy metal / metalcore blend of bands. I would have liked more bands on the boat, but having just 15 made it easy to catch them all and see the favorites a couple times. The guy that jumped off the boat just before the last day of shows really messed up the schedule though, so while missing second sets of some of my favorites, I did prioritize to see each of the bands at least once. Headbangers Boat 2024 is already on sale, about 80% sold right now, I'm passing for now, but if I'm feeling it later, maybe I can add myself to a room later on. I already have 2 metal cruises scheduled for next year.

Garth Brooks / Plus One Residency at Caesar's Palace Colosseum.
One nice thing about living in the Entertainment Capital of the World is that there are a ton of artists in some sort of Residency here, and with the exception of Adele and U2, having so many dates seems to allow for some decent last-minute deals on the secondary market. My wife felt that two Garth shows were enough for a lifetime, but despite me already seeing him three previous times here (Wynn Solo Acoustic Residency 2010, T-Mobile Arena, 2016, Allegiant Stadium 2021), I wanted to check this new residency out. I have just been watching ticket prices as the shows come to pass. Today I checked around 2 for tonight's 8pm show. Got a single ticket just for me in the 202 section with a face cost of $353 + fees (probably $425-450 total) for $160 + $59 in fees at Seat Geek. That's a seriously good last-minute deal. Great seat (no photos -- they make you lock up your phone in a bag, like a comedy concert).
It was a fun, crowd-pleasing show. This show had a full 12 piece band with all his regular musicians, unlike his previous solo Residency. Garth is always an energetic showman who gives the crowd what they want. He even mentioned that he hates going to shows where the artist only plays the new stuff instead of the hit. Tricia Yearwood came out for a couple of songs. I don't know if she does that for every show he plays, but she's 4 out of 4 for me. Ironically it became my second consecutive concert with a surprise duet performance of The Shallow.
Garth has had an absolutely absurd hair transplant. He mostly wears a hat but when he takes it off he looks like a Chia Pet. Doesn't he know we all know he's bald and we're cool with it? Whatever I guess, it's his money to spend as he wants.
