LIVE SHOWS and CONCERTS I have been TO, Selected
|
A Personal-Public Blog (but not Public Domain ). LIVE SHOWS and CONCERTS I have been TO, Selected Several artists are NOT listed, explained below. VERSION: 8/18/2008. *1* My MAIN LIST for SHOWS: Who wants to DO something, like see SHOWS or MOVIES, or catch the SIGHTS? INTRO: In my EARLY years, I really couldn't afford to attend many shows. That changed in recent years; and so I began to attend more Live shows. I started with a big name: Paul McCartney! LOL. But I still haven't seen as many as I might like to. For years, starting when I was about 18 and a half, I basically stopped listening to secular music. LOL. On principle. "Guard your heart with all diligence, for out of it flow the Springs of Life!" I could have just filtered the lyrics, I suppose, but I had other reasons to stop as well. Not the least of which, radio was frustrating--I was always flipping the dial! And as a believer, I didn't spend much time with people who actively listened to secular music. I didn't have cable and MTV. And, I couldn't really afford to buy albums. And I lived in places where people PLAYED music, and had the TV going a lot. I occasionally listened to contemporary Christian radio. I did this for 15 years! LOL. Of course, one can't entirely get away from music when one lives in a big city. So I heard it everywhere. TV, movies, stores, in school (where I took music for years ), people's cars, people's houses, family members, even in grocery stores and elevators! LOL. But feeling personally embarrassed that I had never heard Washington's own Nirvana, and their famous song "Smells Like Teen Spirit" -- a song that basically brought Grunge into the mainstream -- I slowly began to selectively listen again to Secular music, though I still don't really listen much to the radio. I also started to buy CDs, mostly Best-of CDs, which, again, I couldn't previously afford. Now I have a sizeable CD collection. LOL. But at times, I still love the silence.  Before listening again, I had over the years gone to several Christian shows. (An assembly I attended put them on.) Shows listed: I went to some shows for reasons other than knowing I liked it, such as someone inviting me, someone suggesting it, or me expanding my musical horizons as a musician, composer, lyricist, and songwriter. So, from this list, you might NOT get a very good idea of what I like, which is mostly Pop and Rock, and some of the better stuff from most other musical genres. Generally NOT listed here are Trade Shows, Conventions, and similar events, etc., though I attended several of them.  Now for the lists, what I can remember anyway. LOL. Christian and Secular are listed here and there. CHRISTIAN and called Christian (selected): EVENTS: (Artists I saw and/or heard at these are often NOT listed here or elsewhere.) A-Z, by artist name or genre:  But the music was decent.SECULAR, maybe Secular, or Misc. CONCERTS and OTHER TYPES OF PERFORMANCES: SEE ALSO THEATER section. I've seen several shows at venues that I went to regularly or semi-regularly that are not listed here. For Example, at Jazz Alley and Tula's (another Jazz club). And there were other shows I went to, or went to part of, that are not listed, as I didn't keep track of this sort of thing. VENUES: I saw SO MANY shows at these that I am listing the venues and not many of the performers! Though Jazz clubs are prominently listed, I generally like to listen to the genres of Rock and Pop. I recently started seeing more Live shows, as this is something I didn't do much of in previous years; some, just not a lot. I might like to go to performance venues more often. (Hint, hint.) THEATER (selected): And I don't mean movies. Lol. DANCING and SKATING: Other than dancing and skating performances, and theater dance, I myself have danced on stage. I have gone to some local dance and awards shows. OTHER SHOWS--selected. Just a few, as they come to mind A few ending words: I am not listing many shows, especially some of the Christian concerts, and shows at certain venues I frequented for a while. Some artists many may not have heard of before. And many are from long enough ago that I simply don't recall the names at this time. Yadda yadda yadda. LOL. My MAIN LIST for SHOWS: Who wants to DO something, like see SHOWS or MOVIES, or catch the SIGHTS? Enjoy! *1* DULL EDIT NOTES, LOL, no, really!
