Talked it over with Mrs. and she agrees that our stay-at-home concert dates have been so much fun that we're going to spend some $ acquiring a more serious collection of DVD/Blu-rays.
Already have all things Rush, a Journey and ZZ Top concert and a few others. Would like to expand with artists like SRV and more MTV Unplugged.

Meanwhile, I'm unboxing and dusting off tapes I haven't watched in decades while hooking up a VHS player in the living room until I replace those with DVDs (at the best price I can find)...
Van Halen (1986 Live Without a Net ) - There's Only One Way to Rock
On the one hand I'm sad that we're all but retiring from the live music scene (Molly Ringwalds have so few dates these days and not much else in town anymore) but aging happens (to the listeners and performers). But man it was fun while it lasted, as posted in many threads on this board. Glad we did it.

I wore out my VHS copy of Live Without A Net. I saw the 5150 tour. There's Only One way To Rock was a great opening song. That was a great band, having a good time, and it showed.

Oh man, lucky you! I saw only the Balance tour, but glad I got to see them at least once. I wish there was a DLR VH full concert DVD but I'm still looking (1984 would be great, album released right before wife and I started dating so it was THE new album to listen to, followed by Purple Rain a few months later).

Saw them 4 times, all with Sammy. 5150, f.u.c.k. twice and Balance. The 2007 reunion with DLR just made me sad. Dave was a shadow of his former glory. I watched YouTube videos and decided not to go.

Liked his RHCP intro and recognized the Oasis song from also being in my video above yours.

LB4LB, from reading the YT comments, I think the guy I posted above gets kudos for playing 80 intros in one take. I do like how it chronologically shows the evolution of Rock.
Which had me thinking, I am at the perfect musical age. I'm young enough to have enjoyed and appreciated early-mid-90's Grunge/Alternative, but old enough to recognize just how beyond awesome 70's music was (Rock and R&B)!
And right in the middle is the partying 80's with a fun factor right off the freaking scale!
Plus The Fixx, Metallica, Prince, etc. etc, etc. and a bajillion 1/2/3-hit wonders, and so on...
Musically we hit it lucky, I tell ya. And all before the internet and cell phones.

No doubt, the dude can play. I especially like that he is a Fender Strat and Tele guy. Those were my choices back when I was a hack guitar player in a band that played the occasional party. Besides, he played the intro to Hendrix's Little Wing. I have always loved that song. It always makes me think of my wife. He played the intro to Oasis's Wonderwall. That is now right up there with songs like Smoke on the Water and Stairway to Heaven, which are forbidden to play at guitar store.
And yes, I do think guys are age, I'm 57, grew up during the best time for music in America. We had the classics from the 60's and 70's all the while great stuff in the 80's and early 90's was coming out. I can't tell you happy it makes me when I see younger people discover this music and fall in love with it too.

Also "Dust in the Wind"? Gotta put Wayne's World in the movie queue.

I hope one day to find a small outdoor venue similar to your cousin's gigs that you've posted here. That would be perfect!

Friday evening I was racking my brains trying to come up with an original date night idea, and was about to give up and just go with the regular concert or movie. Women love it when you use some imagination and get creative, even if you both know that all you really want to do is poke her. Wait an minute, THAT'S IT!...
Frantic pace to set things up (mainly finding my poker box in the attic and creating a mostly Country-based playlist...kitchen already in a country style). No time to run out for Jack and Coke, but after a couple of wet weekends in a row (although very moderate), it's time for some dry ones. It was fun teaching her how to play (and a good refresher for me).
Next up...board games? I found a like-new Risk + Castle Risk at my local Goodwill. Classical playlist for this one, I think. What would Napoleon listen to?

Lol. I think I posted under MGonzales on FW, but I was much more of a lurker than poster there.
Wife normally just rolls her eyes at my nonsense, but any woman who gives permission to post your refrigerator door weight race has a high tolerance for tomfoolery...
I'm 5'-9" with a medium build so I need to be close to the bottom and my little blue arrow magnet is going in the wrong direction again (what happens when I don't listen to my inner Gunny)...
