Do you mean like a "fantasy" band, or do you have a list who's definitely touring this year?I have been fortunate to have seen about half the bands listed once or more already over the last 30 years. (Yes, I'm old!)
mlb1276,-Have some Keith Howland "Chicago"" guitar picks, you're welcome to one, if you want...just let me know.

Jack Johnson...I've been waiting for him to make a new cd forever and he finally has one coming out next month. All I have to say is he better tour through St. Louis or else.

THE EAGLES!!!

...with Chicago and Fleetwood Mac.

fun stuff.


Actually, one of my best concert experiences was back home: my dad took me, my best friend and my mom to a Kiss Army concert....some old guy came up and was hitting on my mom. It's always funny when your mom gets hit on!

That's just gross! LOL

Those bands/people may have grossed more but, no one has worked harder than Seether, Shinedown and Breaking Benjamin, these past couple years! These guys hardly take a break! Always cool to say hi and sign autographs for the fans too!

I guess most of my music heroes are all dead! The rest that aren't, I guess I could go see!

Meatloaf
Bread
Korn
Vanilla Fudge
Humble pie

Glasgowdog...all together?
Meatloaf-was disappointed-he rambled on and talked more than anything.
Korn-they toured with my brother's band for awhile in the '90s-very good!
Humble Pie-never saw the group, but Peter Frampton has been/is great!!!(underated guitarist IMO)
Have only seen portions of the Eagles at one time or the other. Chicago-hard time keeping up with all the turnovers. Fleetwood Mac was one of my last concerts at the old Arena-and Stevie Nicks hid in her dressing room backstage(coke years)-didn't meet her until she was touring solo. REO guys were always cool and friendly. Enjoyed Merle concert, but never met him. Kiss was one of the first bands saw early '70s.

Chelsea, I believe BOOGEDY Fleetwood is doing some touring currently with a band, but not including other previous Fleetwood Mac members.

Although,..I've seen Korn a couple times, I "DO" like them! Humble Pie would be awesome! Bread and meatloaf, I dunno, maybe with some butter! Ha ha, therr' I go again!

I think mlb1276 has a very good list! I would go for anyone of them! I can't say that I am much impressed with the newer groups today and could care less about any of the RAP groups. The last group I went to see was Jefferson Starship. I guess I am showing my age.

It is about darn tootin' time that Josh Groban get his patootie back to St. Louis. It has been too long since July of '04!!!!! His manager told me that a Missouri stop was a definite but the Awake tour is done and no show. Maybe with the new cd. Maybe. And while I am on the subject....Noel, the top selling cd of the year...only released in October....(shameless plug I know)... we, the fans, had asked for a Christmas album for the last 3 years. He even admitted to being reluctant. HELLO! Numero Uno!!!

*deep breath* back to regularly scheduled programming.....
