Episode 63; Talking Taylor Swift's Eras Tour (available on Disney+)

Taylor decided to put together a new tour to encompass those four new albums released since Reputation, a new tour to make up for the time when stadium tours were not happening, a new tour to look back on all the previous albums that had not received love in a while, and now we are going to talk about it. This is one I regret missing but I am so thankful for this film with it's excellent visuals and audio that is a live feed direct from the sound board. The production values on this concert were incredible and seeing this film only confirmed my resolve to see Taylor in person the next time I am able. I watched the film Taylor Swift; Eras Tour on (available on Disney+) and had tons of social posts, news articles, and first hand accounts from friends and family who went and attended the show in person. Tune in and hear all about my review of Taylor Swift; Eras Tour.

Episode 62; Elton John's Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour (available on Disney+)

Sunday, November 20th, 2022 @ Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles California Elton John took the stage for his final show in North America, on his final tour. It was a long journey getting there but I managed to attend and I want to tell you all about the live show, as well as rewatching the recording from Disney+. Elton John is iconic. He is a legend in the music industry and a name everyone knows. He is a wizard on the ivories and wordsmith for the ages. To see him perform even once was an experience and a memory that will live with me forever. "It's been 50 years of touring the United States, across all 50 states. This is my seventh concert here at Dodger Stadium. Tonight is the 271st show of the Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour and my 103rd show in the Los Angeles area" - Elton John At the time of this episode being recorded it is still available on Disney+. 2 hours and 33 minutes of awesomeness that I highly recommend you check out even if you are not a huge Elton John fan. The audio is the direct feed from the soundboard with the crowd mixed in inbetween songs so it's not like you are listening to something recorded on someone's iphone. I loved every single moment of it live, and I loved every single moment of watching it again at home. Go check out Farewell Yellow Brick Road on Disney+

Episode 61; Remembering Ashley, My Concert Buddy

Over 10 years I have had the privilege of calling Ashley my friend, and my concert buddy. Recently she moved on to the next adventure to listen to music in a place I cannot go just yet, and I cannot move forward without first taking a look back to say thank you. Someone said grief is the price you pay for love and the day of her service that payment was high. I had the pleasure of attending many, many concerts with Ashley over the years and music one only one small faction of pur friendship. I posted a small tribute on her page, and now I am publishing this podcast episode, but I cannot begin to adequately put into words the impact, the significance, Ashley had on my life. 10 years were not enough and I am going to miss her tremendously. Today, I am taking a moment to remember Ashley, my concert buddy.
