Took my 16yr old son to see Taking Back Sunday and Jimmy Eat
Took him to his first concert at the Reno Hilton last night. I have not been to a concert in about 15 years so I was sort of dreading it. He met up with some of his friends there so he quickly kicked me to the curb. I stayed out of the crowd of probably abut 1500 people and hung back.
I was pleasantly surprised at how good the shows were. I have heard some of the songs from both bands when my son listens to their CD's but their live show was not bad. I think the best performers were Taking Back Sunday. Lots of energy and they played a few "new" songs that were very good. Jimmy Eat World was less energetic but their sound and singing was a little better. Overall it was a fun night for us and my ears are still ringing.

My 18 yr old called and asked me when I was playing again, turns out some of his friends appreciate what I do so now he is starting to realize that people
do like his dad's old folks type music Unfortuntely the next time I play is a club where he can't get in. It is only temporary for one night with a electric band called 'Buzzard Meat' (seriously) I told him to just bring all his friends over and I'd have a jam or something. I love it when younger people dig what I do. My 15 yr old loves the blues & since McCains serves no alcohol he gets to see and meet some great artists. Tonight the wife and I are looking forward to seeing Leon Russell should have some great pictures

Too bad you couldn't have taken him to see a concert where they play actual music.
