A Sea Of Red

so the philly show went different then planned since Ian from FFDP is "not well". Phil Labonte from All That Remains fronted the band.

SixxAM was decent (opener)
Shinedown brought it. Way better then expected
FFDP was good but not great. And they cut it short.

unfortunate since they were the headliners. show was pretty tame as a result. still a good time tho.

Give SixxAM a break. Nikki just got off a rather long tour

I guess I should not have dated this thread!! I think 2017 will make up for 2016

Just bought my U2 tickets for D.C.!!! They are doing the Joshua Tree tour again!! How could I miss out on this. I really liked Songs of Innocence but Joshua Tree is one of the greatest albums. Ever.

Other concerts are:
Alice Cooper
Rick Springfield
Stevie Nicks
Metallica has a new album so they will be touring
Chicago/Doobie Brothers

I'll have to check the VBA schedule for this year and see if there are any shows you guys could check out this direction

Got Friday tickets for Carolina Rebellion.

Love me some Gojira. Their bass player is one of my favorite

Only concerts I saw were Chicago and the Doobie Brothers and Foreigner both in July

I'm going to try to get tickets for U2 in DC if there are any left for us unclean, non-members of the cool kids club....

Let me know how that goes. There should be plenty. We are taking the train up on Tuesday and spending the night. Love Amtrak to DC. I think I paid $70 for both Mrs Purple and I. Crazy cheap.
Looked into staying at Trump DC.....but it cost more than my tickets!!

I'm going to be online Monday am....probably taking my wife, possibly sister, and may be meeting my college roomate up there as well.
I have always looked into the train, but have always ended up driving. With prices like that, I may take the train...

With gas parking and stress.....it's worth it

I had a Man Card pass for the Rick Springfield/ Richard Marx concert.
I have an absolutely new respect for both. Richard Marx had a crap load of hits. His voice has held up perfectly. For Torchwood fans he looks exactly like Capt Jack Harkness. He also pitched in to help out in a tough spot
Springfield was a gamer. His mother had just passed away and he recently returned from Australia settling the family affairs. Due to that he contract a throat ulcer but played on. Marx came out to 'Duet' a couple of songs and it sounded good. I can't believe he is 67!!! Solid show. Enjoyed the intimate setting

Eric Church tomorrow at Wells Fargo Philly

A first for me, for sure

Will advise

Train will be in Virginia Beach June 6

Man MORE concerts announced

Tesla/Poison/Def Leppard in C'ville
Asia and Journey in Gboro

And another

Michael Sweet coming to Phase 2!!!

The Eric Church show was surprisingly good

If you like country with a bit of a rock edge – I'd highly recommend him

'Country with a bit of a rock edge' used to be called Southern Rock.

Accurate Comparison

I saw this a few minutes ago. My 14 year old self would have been super interested in this concert. My older self, not so much. LOL

I'd go but won't be in town

I'll have to check the NorVa because the VBA is kinda disappointing this year

This one really hurts. I just saw him with Soundgarden in Charlotte and he looked and sounded great. Rest In Peace.

Saw that. He was a talented singer. Paradigm of a grunge vocalist
