I have neglected my rock and roll blog posts for a bit but have remained very busy rocking and rolling through the summer and into the fall of 2023. Summer highlights included Santana in Boston at the MGM Fenway venue, Styx with Joe Bonamassa and Don Felder at Northwell at Jones Beach Theatre, Chicago at NYCB Westbury Music Fair, and of course the Newport Folk Festival. My solo trip to Los Angelo’s to catch two Neil Young solo performances at the intimate outdoor Ford Theatre was awesome, as was hanging outside the iconic Hollywood Bowl as The Beach Boys celebrated the Fourth of July weekend. Since then I have attended two Peter Gabriel concerts at TD Garden and Madison Square Garden, Yes performing at NYCB at Westbury Music Fair, Tedeschi Trucks Band for one of two “garden party” dates at MSG, and then a New York Jets trip to Denver with my son where we saw Goose at Red Rocks Amphitheater snd Jason Aldean at the Ball Arena which is home to the NBA champion Denver Nuggets. Just last week, my wife and I caught the North Mississippi Allstars at the intimate Landmark Theatre in Port Washington (which was a very cool small venue). On the upcoming concert schedule for me is Morrissey at the Kings Theatre in Brooklyn on Wednesday, Jethro Tull at the Beacon Theatre on November 1st and, oh yea, Bob Dylan in Boston and Brooklyn next month.
WHEW…….

I may have missed something but I will elaborate on my various rock and roll exploits in more detail at a later time; I am still living the dream, chasing the rock and roll music and grabbing every opportunity to see my heroes, and the occasional new artist, perform live whenever, and wherever, the opportunity presents itself.

The Road Goes On Forever indeed

Rock on!
