It's only been four months since the last concert calendar. Oops. Let's move ahead into the new year, shall we?

As always, Bold means I'm going, Italics means I'm more than usually interested, and I'm going to list all sorts of things just because they might be fun on my radio show or because it amuses me or allows me to tell a funny story.

I'm on the tail end of a stretch of 5 concerts in ten days so my last concert summary is already out of date. Beyond this stretch my strategic ticket reserve only has one concert lined up, so it's definitely time to create the next iteration of the concert calendar.

It's been nearly four months since my last concert calendar, and in the year to date I've only seen nine gigs with fifteen bands. That's due largely to three factors:
- The tickets I have cued up are all very expensive shows. And that doesn't include the MLB All-Star game, which I was able to score tickets to see.
- I've done two expensive projects ( Read more... )

When I sum up 2019 I'm sure that my concert attendance will be at least as good as last year, but right now I've only been to one show with two bands total.

1. My friend Tony (formerly onabus) is the lyricist for a rock band called Herzog. On Friday, February 22, they released a new album as part of a show at the Happy Dog. I saw many radio friends ( Read more... )

Ok, so that's not what Shakespeare wrote, but he probably liked a good cconcert, and it's been three months and ten  shows since the last iteration of the concert calendar. At least it takes less time to check all the outdoor venues in December!

As is traditional, means I'm going and means I'm strongly considering it, and I always love hearing ( Read more... )

Ok, as noted yesterday I'm at 18 concerts and 28 bands on the year. I've got two more tickets in the strategic ticket reserve already. What else might I add? As always, bold means I'm going, italics means I'm interested, and anything is listed either because I might want to play it on my radio show (Soul Delirium, 91.1 FM / wruw.org / one hour soul ( Read more... )

Somewhat weirdly I've only seen one more show since I summarized numbers 6-12. Number 13 was The Cleveland Orchestra performing Beethoven at Severance.

Since then, not a thing, but I do have tickets to five more in hand. Let's see what's out there. As always, bold below means I'm going. Italics means I'm more than usually interested. Be sure to ( Read more... )

After Q1, I'm at six concerts and nine bands. The first five are summarized here and the sixth here.

With summer coming, there are a lot of good shows coming up. As always, bold below means I'm going. Italics means I'm more than usually interested. Be sure to tell me about shows I missed, or ones within an easy drive of Cleveland.

It's gotten to the point where each concert calendar I assemble has to last for a full quarter. That's mostly because it takes me hours to pull this together. However, since my Labor Day calendar, I have successfully managed to post two sets of concert capsules and even my full 2017 summary, so at least I can dive into this post with a minimum of ( Read more... )

It's definitely been too long since my last concert calendar, but I only made it to four shows in the interim, two of which were in one weekend in Detroit. Here are the other two ( Read more... )
