@dani negreanu loved your Carnivale costume photos from Venice.  Sorry the trip has been extremely stressful (airline) and disappointing (weather).  Hopefully Morocco is better experience for you.

 

@lenquixote66 hope your dear friend pulls through.

+1 @dani negreanu

 

+1 @lenquixote66 sorry to hear about your friend

Adding to the concerts discussion.   I think the last one we went to was Paul McCartney, and it was one of the best.  It was an amazing show.

According to my email, I see that Primanti Bros. is staring a slice of pizza a day Club. For $9.99 a month, you can get a slice every day of the month.  
 

 

I can say that I have never gone there to order a pizza, when they have such good sandwiches.  Somehow, the pizza slice they use in the ad doesn’t look appetizing.  Maybe if I miss Sorento’s, I may have to try it. 😂

What was your number 1 top concert ? I have been going to concerts since 1961 and saw many great ones.

So many, Free in 1970 at college, Pink Floyd, Rod Stewart, 

Regrets who I never got to see live are David Bowie and Freddie Mercury

The one I wish I saw but never did was Queen.

Me too, we've seen Queen with Adam Lambeth a couple of times which were very good 

[aussielozzie18]

Abba in 1997 and David Bowie’s Serious Moonlight Tour in 1983.

I saw David Bowie in concert when I was in college (late 80’s - early 90’s) and it was the best concert I’ve ever attended. Amazing performer. Freddie Mercury would have been amazing as well I’m sure. So sad they’re both gone now.

So jealous about David Bowie. I was fascinated by him from the age of 14.  My son use to live in Brixton London until recently, where he was a local boy. There was a large mural of him there in his ziggy days

Hot Saturday in Sydney today.  Almost 100F  until a wild storm came through tonight as we were leaving for the cinema.  Will need to clean up the garden tomorrow.

 

Some colour today courtesy of the Fleurs De Ville at the Royal Botanical Gardens and the new wing of the Art Gallery of NSW.

Every time that you post pictures of Sydney, I want to immediately jump on a plane and go there.  It looks like such a beautiful and interesting city.

[Keksie]

I have been to 1 concert.  It was in the 70s and was the Beach Boys.

The couple we cruise with all the time surprised us and showed up at Disney this afternoon.  Nice surprise. 

We went to see Magic Kingdom fireworks from the Publix parking lot in Windemere last night.

Had dinner at Piesano's in that area.. Great service, awful food. (I know it's subjective, so not discouraging anyone).

Been a long time since I watched a 3D movie at the theatre.  Tonight watched Avatar - the way of the water at the cinema.  It just happened that the time slot  that suited us  was 3D.  Anyone else seen this sequel?  We enjoyed it.  The underwater visuals were stunning and the action was good.  If you liked the first movie, you would like this one.

 

We saw it in 3D a few weeks ago.  Was a very long movie but didn't feel that long once done.  Agree well done.

 

Great pics from Sydney, it is a great city one I hope to get to some day.

Love the sound of that mural.  Sounds like we were both big fans.

My favorite concerts are Kenny Chesney concerts and I have been to a ton of them. Whether you like island / country music or not, he is a great performer and crowd-pleaser. 🌴🏖️

 

Probably the most famous person I saw in concert was John Lennon. Madison Square Garden, NYC.  I was a young teenager. It was called the One to One concert and I was able to go as I was a volunteer with the mentally disabled. "Imagine" all the people.... 🎸 🎶 ☮️

When I am in the car I probably listen to No Shoes Radio on XM more than any other music. The Coffee House is probably second. Chesney just has some really good music.

Wow, not only did you list entertainers I actually heard of but I would have loved to have seen them in concert.  Well, except Willie Nelson.  Not a fan.

 

@lenquixote66Lenny, so sorry to read about your friend.

I'm not a Willie fan either. I don't like the sound of his voice. 

[Ocean Boy]

I was driving over to the hospital this morning and heard a new song on the radio from my dear friend that I actually liked. Now I am convinced that I have PCBS... Post Covid Brain Syndrome. 😐

[Momof3gurlz]

Concerts. I haven’t been to a ton, but a few good ones. 
My first was Elvis Presley at the Cow Palace in Calif in 1970.  I was only 13 at the time but my Mom was a big fan and took me along.  I don’t recall much about the music, just all the screaming women and the panty throwing 😂.

I’ve also seen Three Dog Night, Barry Manilow,

Queen, Rod Stewart, Billy Joel, Aerosmith with ZZ Top opening for them, Tim McGraw, Rascal Flatts and Earth, Wind & Fire.

Stick with the sandwiches… pizza is not very good IMO

I wonder how many record people told him he'd never amount to anything with that voice LOL

 

My very first concert was Waylon Jennings, I think back in the early 70's, I'm sure before I was even 10.  We were raised on Waylon...so much so that I recently listened to songs I hadn't heard in 40+ years and still sang along word for word.

I've seen so many, that I don't really have a favorite. Jimmy Buffet was enjoyable. He was with Warren Zevon, which was sad in retrospect. Pablo Cruise. For pure stage showmanship, but not music, I thought Kiss and The Tubes put on fun shows, with fireworks and theatrics. I thought Deep Purple was stupid with the instrument breaking. Rod Stewart had a sexy wiggle. Grateful Dead were always fun. Pink Floyd, Frank Zappa at the Circle Star, Steve Miller. Rolling Stones. Boz Skaggs on NYE. There were a whole bunch, too many to list, and no one really cares. 😄

Journey, Boston, Kansas, The Outlaws, Eddie Money, Elvin Bishop, The Who, AC/DC, Kenny Loggins. San Francisco, Winterland, Fillmore and other Bay Area venues are music stops for many, many performers. Besides Kenny Chesney, the last concert we went to was Kings of Leon and Cage the Elephant. It was too loud. 

We saw Jimmy Buffett a few times, always very entertaining, a few you just mentioned were on our rock and romance cruises including Pablo Cruise and Boz Scaggs others on our cruises were Michael McDonald, America, Rita Coolidge, Maria Muldaur, Steven Bishop, Mellisa Manchester, Foreigner , Todd Rundgren, B J Thomas, Guess Who , Jefferson Starship and many others.

I have you beat by just a few :

Barbra Streisand at the Hollywood Bowl

Céline Dion at Caesars Palace LV 

Wayne Newton…. Very bad 

Michael Bolton 

 

I’d rather sit through a five hour Wagner opera than listen to and watch that Rihana Super Bowl half time show.

You have good taste in music. I am a huge Zappa fan. I never got to see him concert.
