    A few good ones.

    Lately I have seen three good ones:

    Rush: Opening night so there were a few mistakes, but they put on one good show. They entertain the faithful and can laugh at themselves.

    The Woggles: I think it was $10 at a very small venue. After decades they still kick ass. They are there to put on a show and they do it. Opening was a local band Tiger Tiger. The hot lead vocalist is probably the most attacking rhythm guitar player I have ever seen.

    Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers: Another band who is there to entertain you. And to drink a lot of tequila. They do both very well. I will say last years show was better, but this one was nothing to sneeze at. Last years show was also in the top 5 shows I have ever seen. It was a sold-out small venue where everybody knew all the words to all the songs, both times.

    Sadly I had a friend harass the hell out of me to get me to the Dinosaur Jr. show, and I did not make it. I may have goofed.
