End of the road for classic rock concerts?

I'm starting to feel my age as I realize that the bands I took for granted have run the course of their careers. I was fortunate enough to see Roger Waters twice in the last 8 months, but those were the only real big concerts I've seen since John C Mellancamp & REO Speed./Foreigner (separate events) @ The Gorge some 8-10 years ago. Yeah, I saw Pat Travers at a small bar in my area about 5 years ago.........Hoping to see Rush this month but it's at a venue that is a nightmare to get in & out of............& all the good seats are gone. Going to see Gordon Lightfoot in August @ a casino about 10 mins from my house, but after that......???

With bands like Alice in Chains, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, & the like no longer really there.........who are we old folks to turn to?

Where is Lightfoot playing?  I might have to see him.  I've seen him 3 times live and loved every show. (Despite the fact that he called me a "little fucker" about 30 years ago.)

He'll be at the Tulalip Casino Amph. (Marysville, WA)........late August. Still good seats left........

Thanks again for the tips on Vancouver..........had a great time.

Perfect.  I think I'll try to hook myself up with tix and check out the show.  That'll give me a great excuse to get into an all-night poker session in the ol' Tulalip card room.

Thanks for the info MUGG.

Thanks G8R..............haven't seen tix for that show on the docket yet for this area 

I know the Atlanta show is October 3rd, that's the one I plan on going to.  I'm not sure they've even started selling tickets, so I still think you may have a bit before they would be around you.

Not sure how many of these i will get to but they are all in the month of August at the same venue not far from my house.  (20 minutes)

Incubus
Rush
ZZ Top
Poison
Def Leppard




Lightfoot is playing here a few days before that Washington stop.   Would love to hear Edmund Fitzgerald Live.

I hear ya...........

I really wouldn't put them in the "classic rock" catagory..........in fact, Def Leppard, Foreigner, Boston, REO, etc. might not even fit the bill as classic rock bands...............yet. I can't believe I've never been to an Aerosmith show...........seen Nazareth (they sucked) but not Aerosmith.

Dennis...........I'd go to that show.

strangely enough, i bet i am one of the few people on the board that has seen both these bands live.  (pre hoon and nowell deaths obviously)


I actually like the new blind melon stuff with travis warren singing.     was a big melon head back in the day.
