Just bought orchestra level tickets to see Judas Priest in VA this October! Super stoked!
Anyone else have any shows they are going to/ plan on going to?

The new Priest album is pretty darn good, I'd love to see the one more time before Rob packs it in.
Not too much on our horizon. We did buy tickets with a bunch of folks at work for Jimmy Buffet in VA this August (couple of weeks I guess). I'm not necessarily a Buffet fan, but the tailgate and experience should be interesting.

Agreed Al! The new album is pretty good. A bit of a more "commercialized" structure than their past works, but still maintains that classic Priest sound. Halls Of Valhalla is my favorite song off the new album.
So far this year we've seen one of my favorites: John Prine (with opening act Sarah Jarosz), and for the wife's birthday we saw Natalie Merchant.
The only other concert on the docket this year so far is the Wailin' Jennys; frequent guests on Prairie Home Companion.
... Admittedly the complete opposite of Judas Priest, whom I used to love back in the 80s.

We're going to see the Zombies next month. If you have not heard them lately you should. Their new stuff is fantastic and Colin Bludstone is singing better than when he was 20. I always dug them beczuse of the jazz elements in their music.
The girlfriend and I are going to Arcade Fire on August 8. We are really looking forward to it, and there is a really cool theme for the show. Everyone is supposed to either dress in a costume or formal.
In my small town, we have Blues, Jazz, and Bluegrass concerts in the city amphitheater by the creek. So, I can just set out on my back porch and listen, or walk down there to hang out with friends. The last big show I saw was George Clinton. I have a friend who is the theater manager where he played, so I got to hang out afterwards with George. He's even more indecipherable in person than on stage, lol. But, I hate standing in a crowd, especially with a bunch of people drinking. I have a hard time being around anyone drinking these days. IMO, it's liquid asshole.
I had to miss Maiden last yea cuz of deployment. What a bummer! The Zombies sounds like a good show. Might have to see if they're coming around.
FYI for those who care. The Zombies will be at Penns Peak in the Poconos on August 17. Rod Argent and Colin Bludstone with a great band. You won't be sorry.
I'll be back in New Orleans in mid-August, which means a return to weekly Rebirth Brass Band concerts at the Maple Leaf!
Yo Yo Ma at California State University Northridge!!!

Dropkick Murphys put on a hell of a show! That's one you don't want to miss if you haven't been before.
