What has 9 arms and sucks?

Ha!! Love that joke, and free would probably be the only way I'd go after paying $45 plus fees for an hour of Collective Soul and seventy-five minutes of ZZ Top. It was good live music, but free would be better.

I saw ZZ Top NINE years ago and thought "God Damn, these guys look really old!"

Looks like I'll be at Wrigley on Friday to see this ridiculous line up of washed-up money-grab posers (Crue, Def Leppard Poison.)

Only redeeming part of it is the tickets were free I fully expect Motley Crue and Def Leppard to be 90% pre-recorded.

The Stones can still play, even without Charlie. Actually, the replacement drummer is excellent.

The recent Hyde Park concert in London sounded great. Mick at age 78 is a better singer than Axl Rose at age 60. Axl has zero voice now.

In the same week but at different venues, the Stones and Guns and Roses played in London. How lucky the Londoners were to have them both.

Here's Gimmie Shelter. Keif still has the chops, playing a 1954 blonde Telecaster here. 78 year-old guitarist playing a 68 year old instrument!

I would say Mick is more of a talker than singer but it could be worse. BTW Keith is not playing a telecaster.

What is the guitar then? Kind of hard to spot the details.

Keith has a great tone for this concert---raw and dirty, like it should be.

You can tell Ron Wood is really into it, too.

Joan Jett started at 4:30....pretty tough to make that in time on a Friday afternoon and sure enough, I had work drama to settle before we headed to the city.
Parked in the Camry lot for the low price of $100 Overall....traffic to the lot wasn't nearly as bad as it could have been.

I saw poison and Def Leppard 30 years ago and both were fine. The one I’ve always wanted to see was Motley Crue so it’s disappointing to hear they are no good. I still like all of them and I sort of wish i’d have made an effort to go. Glad you had a good time!

How did u get the free tix??

at least that's the opening bid for freebie 200 dollar anythings

Co-worker talked me into getting ZZ Top w/Anne Wilson of Heart tickets. Wilson cancelled so I guess Collective Soul is opening now...

I saw an ad for that today by the Volo auto museum. I was thinking "Jesus what year is it?". I hope you have some kind of fun. It might require a lot of booze.

Our tickets were section FIELD G, which turned out to be very nice and we made it in right before 6:00 to see Poison start their set.
Poison - It's sad that you have to give credit to band for being 100% live but that's the world we live in. Poison was 100% live...no tracks. Short guitar solo by CC Deville that sounded like he stole quite a few Randy Rhoads licks and then he did EVH tribute with the tapping portion of Eruption...it was nicely done. Poison sounded good.

Motley Crue - Vince Neal seemed winded and exhausted after the first song. As expected....Mick Mars looks like he's about to die any day now. Whoever was in charge of mixing sound for Motley Crue should be fired immediately...it was TERRIBLE. Their set list was fine, but they had quite a bit of backing tracks and I was told by a credible source....Nikki Sixx bass wasn't even plugged in. In this day and age of MeToo and wokeness....the Crue still acted like it was 1987. They had 2 very attractive women dressed like strippers dancing and pretending to sing back up, as well as 2 giant blow up stripper dolls on stage. I applaud them staying true to form, but their concert musically was just complete garbage.

Def Leppard - I like the High N Dry album a lot, but pass on anything after that. I'm not much of a fan of theirs. Much to my surprise, they had a very good show Yes, some backing vocal tracks behind them to help, but mostly still live. 3 Acoustic songs in the middle which were really well done. Pleasantly surprised at the quality of their show.

For being on the field at Wrigley, it was cool to be able to walk by the dugouts and my wife and I got a picture in front of the ivy. I'm glad we went.....it was a good time.

Of all 3 bands, I like Motley Crue's music the most. I'd say it was disappointing, but I can't because I'm not surprised at all. This was a complete money grab for them. Tommy Lee still seems very into playing but the others....not so much. When they did their "The End" tour I had read enough reviews of people saying they were just mailing it in.

Got into Denver last night after spending Sunday into Monday afternoon in KC. We're leaving for Red Rocks in a few hours to tailgate...really looking forward to seeing Ween and Primus, and I guess Comedy Central is going to film the concerts and air them to celebrate South Parks anniversary this weekend.
