Fair Park Music Hall in Dallas. Hadn’t been before, very underrated venue. They even have trams to bring you in from the parking lots.
Went to see Madness supported by Squeeze at the Hydro in Glasgow a couple of weeks ago.
Fantastic atmosphere at the gig, Madness a little ropey these days, Squeeze just seem to get better as the years roll by, they effectively stole the show.

Three of the four bands I would bother going to the ball ache of getting tickets for/paying a rip-off booking fee, driving miles* and find a rip-off parking spot for are all retired: Pink Floyd, a Show of Hands and The Oysterband.
That leaves the Levellers - and their sound man is stone deaf, so I have to listen to them with earplugs. Pointless. I'll stick to my hifi.
*my nearest town is Swindon - Swindon only gets tribute bands. I think the population only wants tribute bands because they have an aversion to quality in this neighbourhood.

Some of the better tribute bands are as good as the real group.( imo )
The Aussie Pink Floyd and The Jamm are every bit as good for instance.
Particularly The Jamm, as you got to see them in a small venue, which just made their gigs brilliant. ( sadly no more due to the death of their lead singer )
I’ve also seen one of the AC/DC tribute bands - Live Wire and in a small venue, they weren’t far off the real band either.
If a tribute band is good, they offer real value for money and it’s much much less hassle going to see them in a small local venue, over a trip to an overpriced, soulless mega bowl.
Got tickets for Paul Simon on the Echo in May and I have to accompany the lad to Foo Fighters at Snake Mountain although their not my scene at all. Recently I have seen Shack at the Mountford Hall who were excellent and also the Stereophonics on the Echo who were good but played too much of their new stuff and left out a load of their best tunes
I saw Squeeze last year, they were superb. Had Badly Drawn Boy supporting them who was also superb.
My friend saw this concert a couple of weeks back and she was of the same opinion.
Agree about the tribute bands. Only trouble is they usually in smaller standing venues and I'm too old to stand for a couple of hours now.
I saw the Aussie Pink Floyd last month, really superb.
They`re as good as the original band, but the ticket prices to see them are reflected in that too !
Godspeed in April
Not sure anything else booked as yet

Went to see Squeeze a couple of years ago at the Royal concert hall Glasgow, they were brilliant then so thought it was great value them supporting Madness.
Squeeze are actually headlining at the Hydro next year, won't have done their ticket sales any harm after their last performance.
