Love a good live concert. One of my favorite shows was Joe Bonamassa at The Lensic in Santa Fe.
Sting is playing a show where we live this year. Hoping we can catch this one.

That pretty much answers the OP's question.

After a few good whiskeys and some good weed and my kids garage band will sound like a headliner band...

It's an excellent opportunity to frick up your hearing.

Depends on who's playing, and what their playing. Mustang Sally type shite is a no no.

Yeah…unless it’s a venue where people pay to specifically hear you turn the damn amps down.
There’s nothing worse than having the band at the bar and grill crank up and they blast their cover shite like they’re the main act at Madison Square Garden.

I just wish they realized they don’t have to play so fricking loud you can’t talk to the person next to you.

Every now and then you can run into a solo act putting out some really good music, but 90% of the time it’s just unoriginal covers for the drunks.
Live music is fun. Even when Simon and Garfunkle fail to make an appearance.
Also, wtf is an original cover?

Not a ton of great things to do in Bossier City but wife and I do enjoy hitting up Hurricane Alley in the East Bank every once in awhile. Have some pizza at Flying Heart then head down to Hurricane Alley. Meet up with a few friends, grad some drinks and listen to some live music for an hour or two.

I’ve been to 100s of concerts at all different types of venues over the last 20 years. Live music is awesome but only if you have a band with a really good sound engineer. I’ve been to plenty of shows where you can barely tell what song is playing or what the singer is saying because the sound is just a loud muddled mess.
You ever been to a Tool concert? I saw them in Biloxi last year and the sound was so incredibly good it was like I was listening on noise canceling headphones. You could hear every instrument clearly, every word Maynard sang was clear.
Year before that I saw Metallica in Dallas at AT&T stadium. (Arena shows generally suck bc the acoustics are terrible… it’s just too big) they were a bucket list show for me. The sound was fricking terrible and it ruined my experience. All I could hear was the kick drum.

In 2004 I saw Jackson Browne* perform by himself at the Beau Rivage in their ~400 seat venue. He had a concert grand piano on the stage and about 12 guitars in racks behind him. Each guitar was tuned to a particular song’s key.
That was a concert.
Saw Bruce Hornsby at a vineyard play a set for a small private party by himself with just a grand piano a couple of years after that. Also very good.
frick Pantera’s wall of speakers and your ears ringing for days. Quality not quantity.

It's about the atmosphere.
Out and about with others, drinks, a good time. The music is sorta secondary. It's a fun thing to do.
