I was checking the upcoming schedule at The Iron Horse in Nothampton and saw...The Yardbirds, featuring the original drummer.![]()
To be fair, Jim McCarty was always a key ingredient to their sound. But yeah, it's a bit like Ringo touring as The Beatles.

I'd be down for Martin Barre, Dave Davies, Buddy Guy, and maybe Daltrey.
Has anyone noticed or felt that the price of tix to larger shows has taken another jump up?
I was considering seeing Heart, as they had reunited after the sisters made up, and I have never seen them live. Their ticket prices a couple few years ago were well under a hundred. Now they are 125 and up, for a Tacoma Dome show. Opted out.
Thinking this year, I will look for smaller, more intimate shows. Unfortunately, Bob Mould's dates don't work for me. So, will keep my eyes open for something else.
That's too bad. Still, the guy's 72 and had a major stroke.Dave Davies was uh....

Just put on an aloha shirt, a shark fin hat, drink some cheap swill beer like land shark or something, smoke some rag weed from a paper bag, and just roll with it.My wife has informed me that we're seeing Jimmy Buffett in June. She puts up with a lot of weird shit I enjoy, so I'm not gonna fuss about this.
Both those would be on my list. And I wanted Heart on that list too. But I am just not going to pay that to be in the Tacoma Dome. A cheaper seat at the Puyallup Fair a couple years ago would have been better.Yeah, tickets for some shows are getting ridiculous, plus we are not really amenable to arena shows these days. We look for small shows that have reasonable ticket prices, as there are not too many big shows we have any real desire for. The only exceptions we would pay the cash for and endure the crowd would be if Springsteen goes back out with E Street one more time, and my wife really wants to catch Elton.

I got permission to fly to Cali and see John 5 and the Creatures with special guests Corey Taylor, Fred Coury, Shavo from SOAD, and others at the Whiskey. I just can't do it. The show is $25 but getting out there and hotel etc. is not worth it.
Florida sucks for good shows.
