shropshire 0 #1 November 9, 2011 Went to see YES last night 'kin brilliant show - Loads of old stuff and the new (Fly from Here) was excellent too. They did Round-About as an encore ... and Rocked It. Benoît David is fantastic - very Anderson-esk and proves that really good things do come out of Canada Steve Howe is an amazing guitarist - stunningly versatile - His solo section of the set had me gobsmacked - what a talent. Set List Off to see Peter Frampton on saturday - what a week :-) So, who have you seen recently or will be soon? (.)Y(.)

mrubin 0 #2 November 9, 2011 Over the past few months I've seen George Thorogood and the Destroyers, Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band, and Carlos Santana. All were great shows. Next month I'm going to see the Trans Siberian Orchestra."I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things." - Antoine de Saint-Exupery Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shropshire 0 #5 November 9, 2011 Nice - not a great fan of Mr Seger but Love Santana (went to see him in Brussels years ago - was really cool). Looking forward to Frampton - he's an underrated guitarist IMO (.)Y(.)

DigitalDave 0 #6 November 9, 2011 I had no idea Yes was still performing. I just youtubed up some Yes last night. I've Seen All Good People and Heart of the Sunrise are two of my favorite songs of all time. It's a shame Steve didn't play Mood For a Day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tigra 0 #7 November 9, 2011 Over the summer- Ozomatli, Flaming Lips, Mana and Paul McCartney. Enjoyed all 4 but I have to say the Mana and McCartney shows were both outstanding- as they should have been considering the ticket prices. The last time I saw Yes had to be at least 20 years ago and Jon Anderson was still with them. We snagged 3rd row seats somehow. Glad to hear they are still rocking it.

NWFlyer 2 #8 November 9, 2011 Quoteoutstanding- as they should have been considering the ticket prices. Seriously. Earlier this year I had a little spate of a bunch of shows in May and June - Paul Simon, Elvis Costello, and Lyle Lovett/John Hiatt. Fantastic shows all, but that put a dent in my wallet. Just got news that Social Distortion's playing in February down the street. Must get tix for that - had a great time seeing them a few years back in Seattle with livendive, vskydiver, and JohnMitchell (for the record if you ever need a wingman, John's a champ!)."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

lawrocket 3 #10 November 9, 2011 Steve Howe is as one of those guys who is so underrated by the general public but held in very very high regard by musicians. He's simply amazing. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DrewEckhardt 0 #12 November 9, 2011 This year we were introduced to The Mountain Winery which has an outdoor amphitheater. It's a small venue so you can actually see the artists and noise regulations mean that the concerts are over by 10:30 so you can be home for your regular bed time. They also have fine dining with a prix fixe menu. We saw Stevie Nicks The B-52s with opening acts Human League and Men Without Hats (Obviously Safety Dance was performed live but sadly there was no dancing crazy chick or small person) Creedence Clearwater Revisited (the original CCR minus the Fogerty brothers) with Three Dog Night.

GARYC24 3 #14 November 11, 2011 'YES' I saw them ~77-78. Louisville, Ky for ~$8.75 a ticket All original members on a rotating stage (In the Round Tour) Last show I went to was Dr. John dinner concert at The Canyon Club in Agoura Hills, Ca. I only go to small venues shows or the fair now, especially ones that serves food! (how come my dog don't bark whenever You come around?!) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ordie1 0 #15 November 11, 2011 I've seen Judas Priest, Hatebreed, Buckcherry, All That Remains, Five Finger Death Punch, Testament, Anthrax, Death Angel, Journey, Foreigner & Night Ranger in just the past month or so. Wifey forced me to go to the Journey show. I also flew Cali to see the big 4 show with Metallica, F'N SLAYER, Megadeth & Anthrax. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dgm458 0 #16 November 11, 2011 I've seen a lot of shows this year: Ozzy Osbourne, Slash w/Alter Bridge, Eli Young Band, Luke Bryan, Rascal Flatts, Jayme Johnson, Biffy Clyro, Foo Fighters, Motorhead, El Mariachi, Rise Against, 3OH3!, A Day To Remember, Disturbed, Godsmack, Machine Head, Trivium, Alice in Chains, Kid Rock, Randy Rogers Band and Randy Rogers with Wade Bowen for an acoustic show. I think I'm missing something there... I actually saw Foo Fighters with Biffy Clyro and Motorhead in Tulsa, Little Rock and Memphis with my girlfriend and then I saw Foo Fighters with El Mariachi and Rise Against in Kansas City and St. Louis with my daughter. Between now and the end of the year I may go see Easton Corbin, Staind, Aranda and Violence to Vegas.-------------------------------------------------- Failure to prepare is preparing to fail Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
