Pretty good his vocals held out that long, lots of rock singers; especially with his past do not.
You donât get it.
Perhaps because you didnât elaborate on a short, cryptic message that Aerosmith died after the 70âs.

I think you will see them do âone offâ shows every now and then once his voice is a bit better.
I hope not. I learned my lesson the last time I saw Ian Anderson from Jethro Tull. The music was great, but his voice wasnât there. It sucks that is my most recent memory of him. I didnât go see Phil Collins on his last tour either because thatâs not how I wanted to remember him. Sometimes, these rock stars hang on a little too long, just like athletes.

I saw Meat Loaf several times in concert. First time in the early 90s on the Bat Out of Hell 2 tour.
His voice was ragged, but he could still belt it.
The next several times I saw him, his voice was going further and further away. By the end, it was just a rasp, but it actually added some gravitas to âI Would Do Anything For Loveâ. His later version of that with that voice is actually my sonâs favorite (yeah, I donât know how a kid born in 2004 loves Meat Loaf so much. I must have been a good influence).

Probably 10 years ago I took my mother in law to see the Elton John/Billy Joel show for her birthdayâŠ.
Elton could not hit the high notes anymore and actually apologized in a funny sort of wayâŠâŠBilly Joel was great as was the three hour show in general.

Anyone know how The Eagles are sounding these days? Thought about catching them while Iâm in Vegas.
I saw Elton on a tour before the one with Billy Joel and he was still great. Honestly I remember being impressed by it as I had lowered expectations.

I was at one of Eltonâs final Dodger Stadium shows. It was amazing. I had seen his tour with Billy Joel at Rice Stadium many moons ago, but 25 years later, this was better. Might have been that I had much better seats.

Did he do an earlier show with Joel?
Because I saw them maybe 10 years ago?
Yeah, back in 95. Their âFace to Faceâ tour. If I recall they played a few songs together on the piano âface to faceâ. I had really bad seats, it was hard to tell.

The Eagles are still a must see show. Saw them twice in 2022 (Houston & Austin).
Vince Gill was added as a guitar/vocalist.
Also saw Elton John at NRG in 2022. Enjoyed it. It was interesting that he took a bow after every song, and he played most of his classic hit songs. No complaints from me.
Added the Elton John and the Eagles concert posters on one of my walls at home along with the 30 other Houston rock concert collection posters.
Eagles recently got busted lip synching/
Attended the Def Leppard, Journey and Steve Miller Band concert at MMP on Wednesday night. A good concert played in a venue not conducive to acoustics.
The five hour concert was long, loud and personally exhausting. IMO, Journey was the better group even without Steve Perry as the front man.
Steve Miller Band played their classic songs. Very enjoyable for a long time rocker like myself.
Journey brought a lot of energy. They had payed all of their classic hits. Neal Schon is a highly underrated lead guitar player. Unfortunately, the instruments drowned the powerful vocals of Arnel Pineda.
Def Leppard, the iconic British metal rock band was loud and proud. They played their songs from the Pyromania album.
When the concert ended at 11pm, I was exhausted. Four hours of loud, distorted rock music had me glad I attended and glad it was over.
One would think a 45 minute drive home should have been sufficient time to decompress, but I didnât fall asleep until 2 or 3 am.
Next upâŠ.+Live+, Stone Temple Pilots and Soul Asylum at Cynthia Mitchell Pavilion next Thursday, August 22.

Going to see Deep Purple and Yes at Cynthia Woods on Saturday with the family
The heatâs gonna suck but weâll have some cold drinks to enjoy
Journey came apart with Steve Perry. A gradual decline into mainstream mediocrity. Infinity was their last great âalbumâ.
Like Aerosmith they died after the 70s, both appealing to the LCD.
Aerosmith didnât die in the 70sâŠthey connected with million new fans AFTER the 80s
As I said, the LCD.
