The 2019 Concert Recap
In all fairness to 2016 (Paul McCartney) and 2017 (U2), this year is shaping up to be my best concert season yet. And if you’re asking if I count concerts I work, I do, unless I didn’t see the show because I was too busy ejecting people. Selected openers in parenthesis.
Here’s what I’ll be seeing and updating this year. May alone is worth this post.
