Wanna feel old?

Elizabeth,

I've learned to sit well back (in the sweet spot) for best sound and to not see wrinkles, liver spots, pot bellies, etc. It works! They can still sing and play (at least as of last time I saw them and have not read anything more recent to the contrary).

More women attend Moodies concerts than most classic rock groups, FWIW.

Tickets only $60 (with all fees, etc.) in the local opera house, a decent moderate sized venue. Not bad.

I am well past wanting to see the Stones again.

Soon, non of these acts will be around anymore. I wish I was well informed enough to have gone see Louis ARmstrong, Ella Fitzgerald or even Elvis when I was young and they were still around. THose acts were regarded as too old and square already back then and I had no interest.

My 16 year old son quickly agreed to go this time which was a big surprise for me. That's the new twist this time around.

I know, I know, you hate live concerts. Don't be an old fart!

Jimi, Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell are all dead. A great group. Too bad they got lost in all the craziness of the times.

Jeez I love seeing old farts touring!
My wife & I saw Asia friday night and the opening group was a local high school band. I was told the drummer was 14 years old. Hows that for tying the whole age thing together?!?

I saw The Yardbirds recently. Jim McCarty, the drummer, was the only original old fart. He looked good for his age (I sat close enough to tell)! The rest were very talented younger musicians. Probably better than the originals back in their day....

Asia was at the same excellent smaller venue the next night. I wanted to go back for that but did not.

Blasphemy Mapman! Better than Beck?
