Anyone have a lead on a business or website that specializes in old/vintage concert posters? I found some old ticket stubs of mine and thought it might be fun to pair them with the poster of the show if I can find any.

I use eBay mostly. Expresso Beans used to be a great spot but it's kind of died down a lot.

Def Leppard did in Nashville

When they toured with Mötley Cre in 22 and 23 they would alternate closings

I don't know if they're doing that with journey or if Def Leppard is closing every night

In Orlando DL closed the show. Cheap Trick opened that one, played an hour. Journey followed for an hour. DL probably played closer to two hours. Show was freakin' incredible ... so good that we're going again in Houston in a few weeks.

I'm debating going in Houston too. We live here but wanted to make our vacaion to Nashville this summer so we built the trip around DL. Journey and DL both played 18-19 songs. Journey actually felt longer as they stretched out several songs way past their normal length.



I am worried about the acoustics of MMP with the roof closed though.

Ha, we built our FL vacation around that Orlando show.

I saw GNR at MMP last September and I thought it was good. We're looking forward to seeing the DL/Journey show a second time at MMP. We're coming from CS and hopefully can get down early enough to see Steve Miller open.

The Chili Peppers sounded fine at MMP last year.

We built a short August trip to Boston around the stadium tour with DL/Journey. One of the main reasons we picked Boston was to see Heart who had to drop out due to cancer. But we have never been to Boston so still happy with the plan.

Will also see Styx/Foreigner in New Hampshire the Sunday night before the Boston show!

Star this post if you have no idea who AJR is.

Just pointing out that I starred because I don't know who these kids are. That being said, it was enjoyable. Lights / harness / showmanship stuff was cool. They ain't making any of my play lists, but 12yo loved it and I loved seeing that with her.


Laughing at everyone hating on AJR but appreciate you going to the concerts. I also know AJR because of my kids. One of the things I appreciated about my parents was their willingness to listen to and give my music a chance. Now we share a ton of artists and can go to shows together. My kids are now old enough they bring the music they like to me and I try to give it a chance (except Taylor Swift but my wife has that covered).

They have at the three day Farewell Fest we just went to because they have heard so much of my music and we all had fun at BoyWithUke because we gave it a listen with kids.

Someone older than you once said your music sucks and someone said "The Beatles? That's it they are named after a bug?"

My son begged me to go to BoyWithUke last year in Houston.

I'm glad I did. It was fun and plenty of memories.

Dwight Yoakam and the Mavericks on Saturday in Prescott. Looking forward to this show, I've seen Dwight before and he puts on a good show. Haven't seen the Mavericks before.

We saw DL in Boston in 2022, at Fenway, was a great show. And it was a blast just being in Fenway park, on the field. I think you'll have a great time.

That year Motley Crue, Poison, and Joan Jett were also with them. They were all fantastic except for Crue, who sounded awful (very muddy sound - in contrast to the other acts who sounded great - and Vince didn't seem like he knew the words to his own songs).

I love the Mavericks. Not crazy about their new album, Moon and Stars, and unfortunately their set list has become dominated by it on this new tour.

EDIT: I'd like to make a correction. Looking at their last few shows vs earlier in the tour, it looks like they have cut back on Moon and Stars songs. This will make it a much more upbeat show.

I saw Maverick's first show for this tour at ACL live and they were awesome! Was also album release show, so a lot of the new songs, but with a full 9-piece band, they knocked it outta the park!

Just now catching up with this thread and laughing because I also saw AJR with my kid. Had no idea who they were but it was an enjoyable show and my kid loved it. Also went with her earlier this year to see Death By Moxy, Caskets, Crown the Empire, and Set it Off which I never would have seen if it weren't for her. It was also a fun show!!!

Saw REK in Grand Prairie a few weeks ago which was a treat considering I thought I had been at his last show. He played the whole Picnic album which was awesome.

Next up is my turn for DL/Journey in Arlington. And I also have the Mavericks in September.

I've seen em 3 times and they are usually pretty bad ass live. Very commanding.

House of blues, Red rocks and ball arena.

It seems like Korn always plays the Woodlands in the hottest part of the year, so I was going to skip it this time (finally learned my lesson). Now I see this one is actually in late October... Perfect time for a Woodlands show!

No, their popularity has been based on their musical ability and are suppose to be amazing live.

Lindsey Stirling show last night. My wife is a fan.

She's unique. Very talented. Not my style of music but she puts on a great show.

The opener was quirky and talented and they did a Beatles medley that used probably 30 of their songs in it.
