They're still touring? Good lord. Do they even have any original members left?

Kind of a supergroup these days if you're into southern rock. Gary Rossington is the only surviving member of the original band and still plays guitar, Rickey Medlocke on guitar 2 was the original founding member and frontman of Blackfoot, the original Skynyrd frontman Ronnie Van Zant's younger brother Johnny Van Zant is on vocals and does the original material justice, Johnny Colt on bass is a founding member of The Black Crowes, and the rest of the band who are lesser known all do a damn good job.

I've said before that I'm done going to "farewell tours" because oftentimes the bands feel like shells of their former selves and it leaves me with a sour image of them (seeing Saxon a few years ago was brutal), but every time another one of these tours rolls through I end up going anyway. Skynyrd still does a great job, though, even in 2018, and I'm stoked for this one.

The Rolling Stones have been doing farewell tours since the 1970's LOL.

It's a damn good way to jack up ticket prices. People will pay an insane amount of money when they think it's their last chance to see a legendary band. KISS is kicking off their farewell tour in Vancouver soon and the first 20 rows of pre-sale floor seating are going for a minimum of $350 each. Even side stage bowl seats are $350 to $400.

Going to see Cypress Hill in Glasgow Barrowlands in December. Cannot ****ing wait!!! Haven’t been to much gigs this year at all so definitely looking forward to it.

I got tickets to see Bon Jovi next june. It was the first time I have ever used the axs ticket buying app, and just took the two best places available after coming out of the "waiting room" when they went on sale here. Didn't know till I got home that I had gotten two places in the golden circle next to the stage. Which is awesome for me since if we end up not going, I can sell them for much more than I paid for them. So regardless, these tickets are an investment. Either we will go see them and have a good time or have money towards a trip and have a good time.

This is a bit late, but I went and saw Shinedown in August.

I bought a single ticket and sat center stage, 12 rows off the stage.

Of course, some genius thought to have the VIP section, which was simply a roped off section right in front of the stage, with no seats. Which meant the VIPs got to stand, which meant, as all you music lovers know, EVERYONE had to stand the entire time.

It was a double bill, with Godsmack. Thankfully, it was Shinedown's turn to open, so I didn't have to sit through Godsmack.

When Shinedown's set was over, I left. (Heck, I'm 54 years old, it was 9:30 at night, and I had a 40 mile drive. You do the math.)

On my way out, though, I went straight back through the cheap seats and gave my stub to a kid in a Godsmack tee. He had a zillion tattoos and piercings. I thought he was gonna kiss me when I told him where the seat was.

Luckily, I got away with a high five and a DUDE!!!

Watching that kid fist pumping down the steps towards the stage was actually more gratifying that seeing Shinedown.

They were ok, but Brent does waaaayyyyy too much talking. Preachy. We're all brothers, we're all here for good, blah blah blah.

Just play Devour, will ya?
