When I was in my mid 20's I got up early to line up for Grateful Dead tickets at the local record store/ticketmaster outlet. I got really good seats and came home with a huge smile on my face. My mom said something like "when are you going to grow up and get tired of these concerts?" and I said "when was the last time something made you so happy you jumped up & down? why would I stop doing that?"

And at 55, I still get happy enough to jump up & down when I score good seats for a show šŸ˜„

Good man!!! I’m the same. I managed to get tickets to see Brian Cox last week (the physicist not the actor) and I was so excited I may have shat.

How do you just keep that excitement going? Anything other than walking into a bar to see a show seems like way too much work, money and annoyance to deal with just to see some aging rockers lip sync.

I go see bands that play their own instruments and play different setlists every night

Widespread Panic, Govt Mule, Billy Strings, Goose, My Morning Jacket, Pearl Jam, Sturgill Simpson/Johnny Blue Skies . . . they're still out there

I think I’m going to steal that line. Bravo!
