I feel like 2023 was a bit of a bust for me.  The best shows were the EV solo shows in Seattle.   Saw Iggy Pop headline a local music festival on night 1.   I really didn't go to too many big show.   A handful of bar shows on top of the ones I mentioned.

2023 looks a bit better.  U2 at the sphere, Springsteen in Vancouver.  Most likely PJ in Vancouver.

The cost of tickets/travel/hotels/vacation days to travel off my Island to see shows, I guess it's having an impact.   Hard to believe back in the day we'd go to Vancouver once (sometimes twice) a month for concerts.

The Gaslight Anthem- Raleigh
Billy Strings- Norfolk
Marcus King/Charley Crockett/Molly Tuttle- Richmond
Avail/Gaslight Anthem- Richmond

Didn't get to many shows but they were all very good. The Gaslight Anthem show in Raleigh was my favorite with Tool being a close second. Hope to get to more in 24 already have tickets to three shows.

Solid year! Would like to have more shows next year in general. 

Badflower - Masquerade (Heaven) - Atlanta 
Greta Van Fleet - Bon Secours - Greenville, SC 

Brooks Nielsen - Terminal West - Atlanta 
Three Days Grace & Shinedown  - Huntsville, AL
Zach Bryan - Duluth, GA
Rival Sons - Tabernacle - Atlanta
Thrice - Masquerade (Heaven) - Atlanta 
Arctic Monkeys - Ameris Amp - “Atlanta”

Deer Tick (shoutout opener, Country Westerns)  - Terminal West - Atlanta

Not sure I can choose a favorite between Pearl Jam or Thrice. 

Most pleasantly surprising and amazing experience has to go to Zach Bryan. I wasn’t going into it expecting it to be AS amazing as it was. 

Best opener goes to Yonaka. They are a blast and I never heard of them prior to experiencing it live.

By far the least amount of shows I’ve went to in the past 15 years…

Bobby Weir & Wolf Brothers
Les Claypool’s Flying Frog Brigade w/ Budos Band
My Morning Jacket
Pearl Jam - St Paul 2

Merkin Baller

The resume seems to be getting thinner w/ each passing year, but IMO the quality was there: 

Les Claypool's Fearless Flying Frog Brigade, Boston
Queens of the Stone Age, Portland, ME
Pearl Jam x 2, St Paul
Mr. Bungle / Battles, Boston
Tool, Boston

Favorite show had to be QOTSA, they absolutely killed it. Les Claypool's... was a close second, their cover of 'Animals' was other worldly. It was also nice to see PJ for the first time since Fenway 2018, and Mr. Bungle again for the first time in almost 24 years. 

I'm looking forward to an eventful 2024 w/ some Sessanta shows (including a return to Red Rocks), and hopefully a few PJ shows mixed in there as well.
