As much as I love Isbell, I don't know that I'm willing to go too far out of my way to see him live again. He's so...polished. $1500 is NUTS.
I saw him for the first time at red rocks last summer...entertaining, and there was some magic moments, but other times I found myself looking over at the denver skyline.
Yes, it's Michael Shannon the actor, and Jason Narducy who has played with Bob Mould a lot. And a bigger surprise, Bobcat Goldthwait opened for them, and he was spectacular!

I don't listen to his recordings because I don't need added depression but I was very impressed to be in the room with him and the 400 Unit. Other configurations might not be as captivating. Plus a fight broke out in the front rows so that was fun.

Rev. Horton Heat with the Surfrajettes is a possibility up in Billings. $30 for some dopey fun.

The Horton Heat show is on our radar. We saw him here in Casper in 2019 and it was outstanding.
Audrey lives in Lakewood now. Her apartment is about 15 minutes from Red Rocks, which does invite some...issues.
Flaming Lips have been toward the top of my must-sees for 30± years. Maybe.

We thought about this one, but too many obstacles. Haven't yet gotten to see ANY of the other acts, but we did catch Karina Rykman last fall and she was great.

Sixteenth row in SF upcoming.
This will bookend my Bruce experience. Saw him for Darkness and River (this clip is from that period) and many many times for Amnesty. First concert for my older boy, who named his son Bruce.
