Wow, that lineup makes me woozy with nostalgia.
Saw Mumford & Sons on their Gentlemen of the Road Stopover tour in Bristol TN / VA. Dawes and Jeff the Brotherhood were in the lineup as well. Good show. Good crowd. Beautiful weather which was nice since we were standing in a parking lot for 6 hours.

Saw Bruce Springsteen last night at Fenway Park. 3 1/2 hours of full of energy and great music. First time seeing him in concert and definitely in my top 5 concerts of all time.
Have tickets to see J Geils Band (or whatever name they may call themselves after lawsuits) in 3 weeks at House of Blues in Boston.

Twenty One Pilots, Walk The Moon & Neon Trees at Town Ballroom in Buffalo. Incredible energy from all 3 bands but Walk The Moon was definitely the highlight.

Springsteen at Fenway Park last night---awesome! I'm a moderate Springsteen fan (own about half of his output, I'd say) but this was the first time seeing him. I see why his live shows are considered legendary. Great setting, great weather, and he played Atlantic Ciy, Badlands and Born to Run, so I was happy. I like the new album well enough, too.
What sort of a tribute do they do in his honor?Wish he'd play Vegas but in my 9 years here he's had I think 3 world tours and never comes here.

Re: What concert did you recently attend?
Great to hear. My favorite concert of all time was Springsteen the first time I saw him (Sports Arena, L.A., 1988). Glad that he still brings it all these years later. I'm sure it's an amazing show but it just couldn't be the same without The Big Man. What sort of a tribute do they do in his honor?

Actually I was surprised he didnt mention Clarence Clemmmons (although The Big Man's nephew Jake Clemmons was playing the sax). During the show, when he played My City of Ruins he talked about people not with us anymore but turned it into a dedication to Johnny Pesky (complete with spotlight on retired #6 and Pesky pole lighted up). Was a nice touch for the Boston crowd.
I've seen Bruce on every tour since '80, usually multiple times, and last night's show was in my Top 3 of all time. He blew through curfew, played over 3.5 hours, did covers and deep tracks and took requests. Just amazing! (The reviewers from both Backstreets and the Boston Globe said that this was one of the best shows EVER from Bruce & company.)

Wow. Sounds amazing. I wish I could go see him, but his nearest show to me is Anaheim on a Tuesday, and that would mean missing two days of work. Can't swing that right now. But if I could, I would. There's really no other performer who delivers like Springsteen and the E Street Band. And they've been doing it for 40 years!

sold out show, great set list, band sounded fantastic.

Couldn't resist seeing him again, my third time in about a year and a half, supporting his latest "Ninth" release. His voice still sounds as strong as it did back in the Bauhaus days. Opening song: "In the Flat Field".

I listened to some of the Poison/Def Leopard concert at Hershey Park the other night. Def closed with "Pour Some Sugar On Me". Punny.

My Morning Jacket w/Band of Horses @ The LC in Columbus, OH
I knew nothing about MMJ going into this show, but wow was I impressed with their live performance. Great catchy songs and beautifully crafted guitar-oriented melodies-whatever that means. Not a dud in the 2 hr 40 min set.

The Steve Miller Band at a local outdoor ampitheater (probably 4,500 capacity) was packed with everyone from 16 to 70 years old. Still has the voice and played all the hits...it was $25.00 for general admission

8/18 - My Morning Jacket @ Merriweather Post Pavilion - Fun show, non-stop great music. Loved the Rock the Casbah cover, that followed by One Big Holiday got me jumping around.

Re: What concert did you recently attend?
For you guys who have seen Springsteen recently, how late does he come on the stage after the start time on the ticket? I'm seeing him at Wrigley Field next month, and just wondering what time I should get there (ticket time says 7:30).

Re: What concert did you recently attend?
Don't be too late. At Fenway, he went on at 7:10pm the first night, and 7:30pm the second night. Although the start time was listed as 6:30pm, so you might have to adjust accordingly. (The early start time was because of a 10:30pm curfew. Which he ignored the second night anyway!)
