Heavy metal it's loud, in your face, and makes no apologies! For veteran rockers, Mötley Crüe a farewell tour in 2014 was the final chance to shout at the devil. They made sure their amplifiers could go to 11 and they'd leave no ears undamaged. Hear the story of the loudest concert I've ever attended.

Some artists inspire a rowdy audience where the drinks overflow, the dancing doesn't stop, and the crowd can't contain themselves. Then there's Father John Misty, an artist's songs that aren't exactly the stadium rock singalong type, but he can still command the stage. However, the college crowd at Father John Misty was more interested in the latest gossip than "Funtimes in Babylon."

Chris Stapleton was no longer an Americana darling by the summer of 2017. He was the hottest act in country music and selling out venues in every city. It was a no-brainer that he would sell out his show in Southaven, Mississippi. But where country music fans saw an opportunity to see the biggest thing since Garth Brooks, the venue saw dollar signs. 

This is the story of a rocker getting lost in the crowds at an oversold, overhyped country music concert. There's chaos, despair, and even a sweet redneck grandma princess.

Where's the best seat in the venue? Is it in the upper deck so you can see the full stage show? What about straight back by the soundboard so you can hear the best? Or is it the front row so you can be as close to the action as possible? 

The front row is an elusive spot. It takes big bucks or intense dedication to earn. No one just "walks up" to the front row. There has to be intentionality. 

For the Allman Brothers Band, I gave it everything I had, even arriving at the venue before security, and it paid off. Hear what it takes to secure a spot on the rail and see the performance of a lifetime.

Greta Van Fleet puts a new spin on classic rock with blaring guitar riffs that could've come from every smokey basement in the 70s. Their concert was a tribute to the genre giants but did not pay any homage. Instead, it was a direct lineage of rock's greatest mythologies, as if music and time had never moved forward. It was as if there weren't nearly 50 years of history separating reality and the music. But were the "Safari Song" rockers the genre's savior or misguided kids with their heads in the clouds?

Coming off the heels of my first show at Madison Square Garden I wasted no time for the next show. Entering the venue before most Americans had their morning coffee, I ate my breakfast bar while watching Maggie Rogers live. But this performance wasn’t in the great arenas of our country. Located outside of one of the most watched news programs, Maggie performed on the streets of New York.

Jealousy, betrayal, and sexual deviousness.

This was the marquee event I’d been chasing. From hearing the Red Hot Chili Peppers for the first time in ninth grade to seeing my music buddy in their tour shirt.

After nearly a decade of fandom, what’s it like to see one of the biggest names in rock ’n’ roll?

It’s not uncommon knowledge that Bob Dylan's live shows can be hit or miss. It depends on his mood and what songs he feels like playing. However, as a naive Dylan fan, my understanding of the artist was limited to the early-60s folk singer—the image of a man dwarfed by his guitar—the protest singer who denied ever singing a protest ballad.

Yet, when I saw Bob Dylan live, he hid behind a keyboard, and his arrangements sounded nothing like the song. A sinking disappointment grew with every note. This was a bait-and-switch performance.
