Ticketmaster concert list is live.  I have about 100 free tix so if anyone sees one they want to see, let me know.

Closest to MHK that I saw was St Louis

These people suck.  As far as I know, there were no eligible concerts in 2017.  I got this email last night:

It's working (?) now, and I now have 2 tickets each to Foreigner, an ex-member of One Direction, and Kid Rock's Red Blooded RocknRoll Redneck Extravaganza.  These were the 3 eligible events within at least 300 miles, probably more like 1000.

Holler if you want these tickets.  :flush:

I haven't looked at all beyond their updated bio, but I expected tickets to be like $10, a fair price for a unique act to be playing while we drink beers and eat pizza.

And it was precisely around this time that Smith and Thorn were asked to produce a few tracks for Texas-based singer/songwriter, Warren – who also happened to be a die hard Blind Melon fan. Working with Warren on his demo, Smith jokingly said to Thorn that Warren “could sing Blind Melon songs in his sleep.” The idea was born. The four remaining members – who hadn’t been in the same room in years – came together to be reacquainted with each other, and to meet with Warren. Soon after, it had become apparent that they had finally located Blind Melon’s new singer. With Stevens and Graham reclaiming their spots as well, Blind Melon was back in business.

Didn't end up going, Mrs. Dax wasn't feeling well and it was really warm and muggy that weekend.   :frown:   We gave our tickets to some youngsters who enjoyed themselves immensely, but haven't caught up with them for significant deets. 

Going to see STP/Bush/The Cult in a few weeks because it's right down the road and so, what the hell.

I could see Foreigner being a lot of fun if the show were free or something. They seem like the type of act that might play at the park in Junction City on the 4th of July and just rock everyone's faces with hits like "Urgent," "Dirty White Boy," and "Cold as Ice".

You should've spoke up, RATM.  I'd have given the tickets to a gE'r for free (travel not included).

there's this band in Oakland named China that is amazing and I watched them in front of like 8 people last night and it was the best show of the year and I don't know why they aren't more popular (other than having an impossible-to-google name)

https://chinatheband.bandcamp.com/

Also saw Wye Oak last week and that was a fuckin snooze fest

Did you have a desire to start cutting yourself after the China show, cRusty?

Sold the one direction kid pair for $10.  Wrinkle - when I was working out the craigslist transaction, the lady's info regarding her email and her ticketmaster account and her husband's name it was under was a little weird.  Googled the guy and he went missing and presumed dead like 5+ years ago.  She paypal'd me from her own personal account.  Anyway, enjoy Niall Horan dude who maybe got whacked by his wife or has faked his own death.

Time to unload the tickets to kid rock's redneck extravaganza.

Tyler Childers was decent. Show started at midnight, and they had played Lolla that afternoon. They seemed tired.

Guitar player and pedal steel player were both great!

Also, Larkin Poe opened and were awesome!
