Stop laughing. Technically, I attended one concert and came close to seeing three before the shutdown. But, as the coronavirus loomed and bands figured out ways to reach the masses without touring I did manage to see a couple of … Continue reading Top Concerts of 2020
Attending a concert often imparts an unimaginable impact on your senses leaving you in awe for days. It’s why we go! This was the norm until the coronavirus put a pause on live events and ended touring. After March, all … Continue reading How To Enjoy Watching Livestream Concerts
That was (mostly) awesome. Love them or forget them, call them a sell-out or it was over after 1989, call them what you will, but Metallica knows how to put on a show whether live in person, at the drive-in … Continue reading Concert Review: Metallica Helping Hands Concert Gives In More Ways Than One
UNPRECEDENTED! Tired of hearing it? So am I. But we do live in unprecedented times and we should probably just make “unprecedented” the title for 2020. Little did we know a year ago, concerts would come to a screeching halt … Continue reading Top 10 Best Coronavirus Songs
