Concerts. 2021 and beyond.

Ticket prices are ridiculous. I’m a fan of CS, but arena shows have gotten out of hand. $130-180 for second level is what I saw at a glance with the fees added. My plan is to stick to smaller acts at smaller venues and see 3-4 shows instead of one. Even the Avett Brothers this summer at KEMBA are $60 and I’d consider them mid level and not small. I may grab a couple Avett tix and take my son. Noah Kahan at Blossom $100+ face value going for $300 resale…F that. If Zach Bryan comes around not on a festival tour i might pay $100+, but I still consider him mid level.

Yea, but I'm to the point if I'm going it's going to be in style. Vacations and Music events I don't care about money. Otherwise I'm frugal. Wife purchased a Christmas presents for both of us.

I went to Key West in January for their Rokisland fest and that was sorta how I felt RE $$ however I did not do all the upgrades with seating, and glad i didnt as I sat in a place each night I enjoyed and didnt feel cramped!

I did go pretty cheap though comparably speaking, but that wasnt the intent!
 
The Ritz in Tiffin.

Anyone ever been?

Night Ranger is there Saturday. Saw them twice in the last year, great show, and may try to make this one.

At Rokisland they of course play their hits, a couple Damn Yankees and an Alice cooper and believe and Ozzie song as band mates have played with those two
 
August 6.
The Rose in Huber Heights.
Alice Cooper.

Seen him twice in the last yr.
Phenomenal.
Still brings it live.
Amazing entertainer.
Because everyone needs a beheading in their show!
 
Just got tickets to X Ambassadors at the House of Blues in Cleveland for May 26. I had only heard “Renegades” by them up until about a month ago when I started going through their catalog and listening to the songs on their recent set lists and was surprised at what I’d been missing. Sam Harris is very talented.

I’m also going to see Wilderado at the Bluestone in Columbus in June. Another group I’ve been listening to for a while that nobody here probably knows. Brent Cobb is May 5 at A&R Bar. Looking forward to that one.
 
Has anyone heard of Evan Honer? I’ve been listening to him and he’s a lot like Noah Kahan. I passed on Kahan at really small local venues, not thinking he’d blow up so fast. I think Honer is on his way up too. I like him so I’m gonna pull the trigger on tickets very soon.

Thanks for reminding me of The Rose. I check venues from time to time but I forgot about that place. I just ordered tickets to see Burton Cummings in September there. Should be great.

Went to the venue site The Rose in kettering and Firehouse will continue on.
They had been using a different lead singer for the last 6-9 months after the lead had some health issues so they will continue as they had been recently.

I’ve seen bands without their true vocal leader—not the same. But, to each their own I guess.
 
I saw Brent Cobb tonight and was pretty disappointed. The sound was horrible and his singing was drowned out by the music. He didn’t play long and skipped many of the songs I’d hoped, which is my problem and not his obviously. Too bad because I love his studio stuff.






 
Warrant, firehouse and bullet boys at the rose onFriday.

Think they are in Sylvania Oho sat....been geting emails for free tix on that one so the sales must be bad.

Plenty of tix left.


recently Alice Cooper will be local this fall as well as tesla I'm columbus..
 
Good show at the rose.last.night.

Firehouse had rheir young replacement singer and, of course, they sounded the best.

Alice Cooper is there in August...and I'll be back. Live that venue

Cannot bring myself to buy into Firehouse without C.J. or Warrant without Jani, but yes the venue is nice. Be there in August as well…for the Gin Blossoms though.

Yea it sucks without all the members....but I'd rather see this than nothing at all.

St least firehouse openly acknowledged it a s some bands. Never say a word.


May catch GB as well....you can buy me a beer....but August is jam packed for shows.


Alice Cooper puts on an epic show.
 
They officially canceled Rokisland Fest in Key West for january 2025.
It lasted 3 years and they said they hope to.be back in 2026 but I think it's doubtful as they will lose all momentum.

Seemed to be a good crowd, said was bigger than the yr prior. Tix were not bad and flights not bad but......the lodging in Key West is a killer.
Also had to be expensive to.get the bands down there as these were one off shows for them mostly.

Was hop8ng to make this a yearly thing...4 days in Key West with a rok fest each evenimg.
 
Went to a different type of show for me at Riverbend on Saturday. Saw Janet Jackson with Nelly and was actually kind of impressed. My sister is a huge Janet fan, she said she was on her bucket list of shows to see. She had bought tickets and her friends bailed on her because of the heat. She asked my wife and I to go and the tickets were on her so what the hell. Nelly was okay but nothing I would need to see again. Janet was pretty impressive especially considering the heat and her age. I forgot how many hits she had over the years. It seemed like every other song, I was saying damn another one I forgot about. I wish it had been a little cooler, but the lawn wasn't packed, the beers were cold and the show was worth seeing if you're any kind of fan of pop music.

Nelly was live for the most part. I told my wife at the show, that even though his voice sounded different than it did years ago at least he wasn't ad-libbing over a record like some other hip-hop artist. Janet was some of both and you could clearly tell when she was singing and when she was lip syncing.
