Yes, which concerts to see? this is the question. well, unfortunately for us there will be no DT (Dark Tranquillity) in the first quarter of '04
however, fortunately for us there will be DT (Dream Theater) in this quarter. YAY!
below are some scheduled shows that are coming up that I'm either already going to or would like to see.
Feb 12 - Spencer Davis Group/The Turtles
already covered this one, but to add:
note 1 - Spencer Davis Group - Legends! still don't know who else is in the current touring band though.
i may have to bring an extra pair of panties if i find out that Steve Winwood is joining them. =)
note 2 - Flo + Eddie | The Turtles - so Happy Togetherrrrrr i expect a HUGE sing-along if they do Eve of Destruction. was only about 9 or 10 when that song was a hit but i suspect my older rock n' roll brothers and sisters here in Chicagoland area - young adults during the Vietnam war years - will be belting it out proudly (again). really hope they do that song because: 1) it's still relevant today; and, 2) i want to add my voice to the choir this time...over and over and over again.... =)
note 3 - Dick Biondi, Rock N' Roll Hall of Famer and Oldies 104.3 DJ is hosting the show - bless his heart.
Feb 19 - Opeth/Moonspell/Devil Driver
oy. this one crept up fast. should have a ticket to this already but I don't. hmmm, a Thursday night. may do the last-minute thing if it's not sold out.
Feb 27 - Chicago Powerfest Day 1: Novembers Doom/Antithesis/Talamasca/Avidost
Feb 28 - Chicago Powerfest Day 2: Ion Vein/Twelfth Gate/Enertia/Division/Eden's Fall

just got myself 1 (that's ONE) pre-sale ticket for this show YESterday (Friday). 80 USD
but, just like that Rush Vapor Trails tour show in Oct 2002, it's a must-see event. ;-)
