It's an example of karma payback, since I saw Gin Blossom open up for Spin Doctors in the mid-'90s on a summer shed tour with Cracker as the third band. Gin Blossoms were by far the biggest band of the three that day and people were leaving in noticeable numbers during Spin Doctors' headline set.

The previous summer, the Spin Doctors were still touring behind their big album and headlining sheds without issue with Soul Asylum and Screaming Trees. That was a fun show.

I got high just reading this.

Me three. I was also relieved that I didn’t have to drive.

No joke, Rick Springfield is one of the best live performers I've ever seen. Even now, in his 70's. He usually has a package tour going. I saw him, John Waite and Men at Work a few summers ago. Him and Pat Benatar. Him and Richard Marx. Every show was amazing.

None. Rock is dead.

You have Jon Pardi's Honkytonk Hollywood tour though! Dylan Scott's Country Till I Die tour... Post Malone and Jelly Roll... Jamey Johnson, Lee Greenwood, and ALA-FUCKIN-BAMA! King Jason Aldean with Nate Smith, RaeLynn and Dee Jay Silver! Ella Langley and Riley Green! Don't forget about Scotty McCreery, Mitchell Tenpenny, and KANE FREAKIN' BROWN!

That's all you need. You're welcome.

He held the all-time attendance record on Fremont Street (Summertime Concert Series) when he performed in 2017 until fat ass Jelly Roll broke it in 2022.
