Concerts you have attended?

Part of the ticket purchase for the Bare Naked Ladies concert turned out to be a digital copy of their 2021 album "Detour de Force". Listening to some of the songs, not bad. Not something I would have bought on my own. Looking at the projected setlist, they will do about 1/2 of their set from this album,

Also with all these concerts, I seem to be accumulating these digital commemorative tickets. I am told they are NFTs. Not sure what I am supposed to be doing with them.

I had tickets for Tool in Toledo before COVID started. Once COVID settled in, they postponed & canceled.
Once bands were touring again, they came back to Detroit, but haven't rescheduled Toledo yet.
I'm looking forward to seeing them again.

At least The Palace of Auburn Hills has been demolished so you don't have to drive all the way up there for a show. However, Pine Knob is in that area, so that's a bummer for Toledoians.

Right now, Maynard is touring with Puscifer, so it might be a while before Tool comes to Toledo.
 
Yeah, the Palace was a bit of a haul. It's funny to see it gone now. I went to shows there the first and last year of it's existence.
When it was new, it seemed like it was going to be there forever. It was so much nicer than most arenas that I'd seen shows at.

Little Sleazer's in downtown Detroit is pretty nice and a lot easier to get to. That was the last place I'd seen Tool at. I've seen A Perfect Circle, but not Puscifer. I'm hoping that Tool does another leg like they usually do. Toledo is often in that group of shows.

I've never been to the Knob. I haven't had a ton of luck with outdoors shows and the weather.
 
BNL Rescheduled. Glad it didn't conflict. And looks to also include Kim Mitchel,

Loverboy has pulled out of their tour for a bit (assume covid). They should be back by August 5th in time for my show.

I'm assuming you can take public transportation right from your apartment to the venues?

Yes, for ones in Toronto. We have 3 options: First is TTC which is bus, subway and/or streetcar which is right by our door. Second is GO which is commuter train which we drive to station 5 minutes away. If my wife is going, we can use WheelTrans which is private wheelchair bus door to door. Stuff in Orillia or Richmond Hill we need to drive.

That's a great perk of living in the middle of a big city. Going to a major concert venue for us is always a big ordeal, although we have some decent local entertainment (which still requires driving and parking).

It's a different mindset. Here first option I think, is public transit. Driving downtown is a nightmare so transit is almost always the better option. When I go to Saskatoon to visit my dad, everybody drives everywhere. They have buses but they aren't very efficient and are almost empty.

I just stumbled across the fact that a new-ish band I like - The Regrettes - are playing something called Innovation Fest in August roughly 5 minutes from my place. Am I gonna see them in a friggin' conference room?

Update : this is actually an outdoor show, so we're going. Should be "safe" enough.

Speaking of...we were supposed to go see local legends Ultimate Fakebook tonight. The show was supposed to happen 2 years ago, & I sat on those tickets. But for a variety of reasons it looks like we're not gonna go. Feh.
 
Update to the update - we ended up not going to the Ultimate Fakebook show last night. A bummer, but I knew we made the right decision when I saw pics from the sold-out show. There's 300-ish people crowded into the venue, and I literally saw ONE person with a mask on.
