Summer Concerts

Now that the schedules are mostly set, what is everyone going to? For me so far:
1) Slightly Stoopid, Stick Figure and Pepper
2) Andrea Bocelli at the Hollywood Bowl (I know another Polkie going to this but won't reveal).
Not a lot of commonality I know.

I've seen them a couple times with EWF. Great show, especially when they're all on stage together. Just them on this tour though...

Second half of their tour is with REO, who I saw with Styx and Nugent a few years ago. REO was amazing.
Chicago always brought the goods, but I haven't seen him since my high school chum left the band a couple years ago.

Not this summer, but in October. Won tickets on the radio. I'm not ashamed that I like both bands. Wife and I are looking forward to it.

This is the first time I will have seen Plant (live) since The Fate of Nations tour in 1993.
Taken from a recent Audioholics reply regarding "Club Polk" and Polk speakers:
"I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion."
My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....
