I find a good charismatic lead singer can make me like almost any music!

Most recent concert: Brian Wilson. It was really fun. Although he’s...well, himself, he surrounded himself with amazing musicians.

Best concert of the past few years: Beyoncé!! Lemonade tour. It was amazing.

Oh yeah, we got to a lot! I'm not that familiar with Imagine Dragons music though.

Bought presale tickets for Ghost today for December and then we have another hard rock show this week that DH really wanted to attend that will be probably 90% guys--no line for the ladies room! Also recently saw Mastodon and Primus and we went to a festival in Downtown Las Vegas in April.

On the more mellower side, we are taking MIL to Rod Stewart and Cyndi Lauper in July. Last time I saw Rod Stewart it was probably the 80's in a stadium show. Cyndi was here a couple of years ago.

I no longer appreciate the mega venues for the musicians I like but still love the music . (Ghost? Oh yeah). My last concert was at the elementary school where I tutor 5th grade math. The bucket drums’ accompaniment of Imagine Dragon’s Thunder brought down the house! I’m in awe of teachers who understand how to engage their students.

Fun! We are not frequent concert goers, but we did just see Bare Naked Ladies, which was a good time. I like outdoor venues better just because they aren’t so loud.

Here’s the lead singer from Imagine Dragons performing last night.

jojoco - You were at the Amp in Syracuse? I wasn't there but some friends were.

Niiice!

We love Cheap Trick!!

Roses—I was. I live in Skaneateles so it’s not too far at all.

I love Cheap Trick too, and have seen them a couple of times at our county fair concerts.

Saw U2 Saturday, last month Tony Bennett, and earlier this year, Paul McCartney, Chicago, Beach Boys, Stevie Nicks and a few others I can't remember. Have tickets for Ringo, Fleetwood Mac, Paul Simon, Rod Stewart and possible Elton John if I can get resale tickets. I will probably see a few more depending what comes up.

jojoco - I am about 25 miles north of Syracuse. Pretty amazing that the Amp has taken off so well. So many concerts!

I never heard of that group but that doesn’t ean anything. That guy is a hottie! I am in Dublin at the moment. We sW Riverdance last night. Hardly a rock concert but it seemed the perfect thing to do while inIreland. I love almost any concert. If I don’t like the music, I enjoy people watching

Czarinalex - I didn't realize that our place in Pike County was so close to Bethel Woods. I'll have to check their web site for upcoming shows.

For Mother's Day my DS and DD took me to see Bon Jovi - I love it. They've also taken me to see Billy Joel - and I was amazed at how long the show was and his energy level. It was a disgustingly hot, humid Philly evening and the man never took his jacket off. I hope he had some kind of AC under his the piano stool.

I saw Billy Joel at the sold-out 35k Palace in Auburn Hills. Amazing stamina, he played for two solid hours with almost zero chit chat other than his intro., "Billy, what kind of name is that for a 65 year old man?!" Also amazing that he barely scratched the surface of his repertoire. Rock on Mr. Joel!

I’m going to see Radiohead next month. the last rock concert was Steely Dan when Becker was still alive. No, I take that back, saw Hall and Oats with openers Sharon Jones (RIP) and the Dap-Kings and Trombone Shorty two years ago. Non-rock, Leslie Odom, Jr. (from Hamilton original cast and the Nationwide commercials) at the end of this month.

I love Imagine Dragons, and have heard that their concerts are epic. The last I attended was Lana del Rey, and really only because I was invited to an arena suite for the event. Otherwise, not much of a fan. I've seen so many rock concerts -- White Stripes, Journey, Rush, Duran Duran, Primus (on our wedding night!), Tom Petty/Stevie Nicks, One Direction (ok, so some of these are definitely more pop than rock, but those 1D boys were adorbs), Pearl Jam, Cheap Trick, Social Distortion, and more. I don't much care for the large venues, and the small venues can be a bit too boisterous for this old lady, so suffice it to say we haven't been to a show in a while.

Hoping to catch Boz Skaggs in Buffalo/Canada this summer and also Joe Jackson at a small venue in Pittsburgh. Trying to find a Hall and Oates concert close as well this summer.

Occasionally enjoy a show. My last concert was Tom Petty's very last show at the Hollywood Bowl, very sad in retrospect. When I was in my teens and twenties I was an avid concert goer, usually one a every week or so, Then a long dry spell with kids, now I enjoy concerts 6 or 7 times a year, this year is off to a slow start though.

Most of my concerts are now at smaller venues or at least indoor arenas, however I did see Coldplay at the Rose Bowl their last concert there. A friend invited me and I knew I would love Coldplay but thought I was over the giant oudoor arenas, thankfully I gave it a try as I really enjoyed the show,

IdaClaire you made me smile, I went to high school with a couple of the original Social Distortion boys Mike Ness and Casey Royer, they actually played one of their earliest shows in my backyard. Have not seen that band in many years.

Does Drum Corps International count? LOL. We saw that competition when it was in Orlando last summer. Other than that my only pop concert was Neil Diamond about 30 years ago.

Donna

I still have friends and family in upstate NY and saw lots of Imagine Dragon posts in my very limited social media. Everyone had a blast.

DH and I are going to see Steve Martin, Martin Short and The Steep Canyon Rangers at Red Rocks. Does that count? Yes, I am old :)

We don’t go often, but I’m a blues-rock fan and have seen Joe Bonamassa twice in the past year or so. Great show. Definitely an older crowd.

DH and I enjoy going to concerts often, but older bands. Many DH has never seen in concert, so he made a bucket list. In the past few years some of the bands we have seen are Foreigner (3x), Styx (3x), The Monkees (well, 2 of them - fun show!), Heart, America (2x), Boz Scaggs, The Eagles, Joe Walsh, Lynyrd Skynyrd (so good!), Frankie Valli (the man never slowed down), Hall & Oates. Future concerts we're attending are Fleetwood Mac, and Queen. We've also seen Carrot Top, and Dennis Miller.

I grew up near Philadelphia so in the 70's saw lots of old bands at the Spectrum: Crosby Stills Nash and Young, Chicago, Jefferson Airplane, Allman Brothers, James Taylor with Carol King.

These days we mostly go to the Gorge (WA state) and see the Dave Matthews Band. Every year since 1999. Yes, we're nuts (and old.)

Our recent concert choices are steered by the 16 years old. We saw Elton John and Logic last year. Earlier this year saw NF and will see Logic again next month.

If we are talking about long time ago concerts, I have a bunch! I grew up in the Bronx, so Madison Square Garden was just a subway ride away. My first concert was Moody Blues.. in 1972. Saw Led Zeppelin 2x, Rolling Stones 3x, YES, WHO, ELO, The Cars, J Geils, Leon Russell. Many more, I can't even remember. In the early 70's, you could buy nose bleed seats at MSG for around $10.

A ton of my friends took their teens/pre-teens to the Imagine Dragons concert here a week or so ago. All felt it was the perfect 1st concert for their kiddos & their songs are inspirational & encouraging teens to make the changes they want to see in the world. I think they are awesome, I am truly sad I missed it.

I consider Imagine Dragons to be much more pop than rock and lisa's ^^^ post confirms that. If preteen/inspirational can be used to describe a band then it ain't rock to me!

Jill, and czarlinalex, that must have been awesome to be in NYC or LA to go to so many shows. I've been to the Hollywood Bowl once, to see Motley Crue on their farewell tour with Alice Cooper. Fun show, but a bit of a pain to get there. We wound up parking at Hollywood and Highland and walking the rest. I've never actually been to MSG, and now it seems many shows go to the Barclay's Center. But yes, crazy how inexpensive the seats were back then. The Buffalo War Memorial Auditorium ("The Aud" 1940-1996 but finally demolished 2009) had an incredibly steep slope in that upper level.

This weekend Eddie Trunk is filming at Bethel Woods for a new series that will appear on AXS TV called Trunkfest, where he goes around to different festivals. Of course, we don't get this channel now that we have Google Fiber, and there doesn't seem to be a streaming option.

I am an avid rock concert goer. I was just at a small venue where my friend and I had the opportunity to have a meet & greet with The Struts-a great newer band. This summer I have a lot of shows in my line up-Jason Bonham/Whitesnake/Foreigner, Styx, Greta Van Fleet (another AMAZING newer band-shades of Led Zeppelin), Journey/Def Leppard (8th year in a row for DL), I know I'm forgetting some now. Last years line up included Guns 'n Roses, Queen, Billy Joel and Poison with Def Leppard. I try to get in at least half a dozen concerts each summer. Some in small venues, others in huge arenas.

Someone once asked me what bands I've seen so I wrote out the list-I've seen every band in the alphabet except for U, X and Y. Everything from Aerosmith to ZZ Top. And I'm going to keep going to shows as long as I can!

czarlinalex, I went to a lot of concerts in the 70s too. My first concert was a combo - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Bog Segar & the Silver Bullet Band and someone else. KISS, Foreigner, Styx, Journey, The Eagles, Billy Joel, Phil Colins and all the big bands of that time came to town annually. Lots of good memories. I didn't see Steely Dan until recently, but always a fan. When we first married, we bought a Blue Point Siamese and named her Aja.

I was in an antique store yesterday, and a Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons song came on. That was such a great concert (and that is never my genre), if Frankie ever comes nearby, don't miss a chance to see the show.

neetsiepie-That's a great idea, to go through and alphabetize the bands you've seen. It would be a good memory exercise for me (ha.)
