I finally got around to try and document the concerts I saw in 2018-2019. I am sure I missed a number of bands as there were over 70 of them. I started the year with buying some tickets at Sycuan casino. They have a wonderful venue with a very intimate settings. The price is very affordable, so I ended up buying 8 concerts. Through the year, more concerts popped up and I found myself seeing more bands in one year than I have my entire life combined. I really miss going to concerts. I sure hope we can soon.
Here is a list of some of the bands I was lucky enough to see:
Air Supply – As good as I remember
Alabama – Mountain Music is fantastic
Allman Brothers – This was my favorite concert of all times
Blue Oyster Cult – Saw them twice, no fear
