re: Interesting Concert Survey on Twitter

First Concert: Pat Benatar 1981 BR Centroplex

Last Concert: Gino Vanelli 11/2019 (Jeff Parish Performing Arts Center--the dude has an amazing voice and band)

Best Concert: Dan Fogelberg acoustic tour 1982--PMAC, Springsteen 1984 LSU

Worst Concert: B-52's at UNO arena--was chasing a Tulane girl I met uptown

Loudest Concert: Van Halen (with David Lee Roth). Some club concerts have left me deaf for a while but this was my loudest arena concert.

Seen the Most: Bruce Springsteen, Jimmy Buffett (not including local bands like The Cold, the Nevilles, Dr. John, etc. who I've seen dozens of times)

Most Surprising: The Who at Jazz Fest 2015. First gig of their 50th Anniversary tour--Roger Daltrey's voice was pumped with steroids and not yet damaged by the road.
The Smithereens at Tipitina's early 90's--best club date I've seen (close seconds are Squeeze at Tip's and Brian Setzer at the House of Blues)

Next Concert: Eric Johnson ("Cliffs of Dover") at the Civic in March

Wish I Could Have Seen: The obvious selections (Queen, The Beatles, Zeppelin, although I've seen Queen with Adam Lambert {really good, by the way}, Paul McCartney, and Robert Plant 3X).

Pavement



They are doing a couple reunion shows abroad soon. I wouldn’t be surprised if they did another reunion tour like 2010. I saw them then and it was a great show

They just have never done a reunion show near me. I guess I may need to get on a plane. I have seen Malkmus 3 or 4 times and he always puts on a good show.
