daveinspain Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I'll be in Boston from the 9th of June until the 21st. My oldest niece is getting married on the 13th of June and I'm in the wedding party... So I was looking to see if there's going to be any good concerts in the Boston area while I'm in town… The only things I saw of interest, on dates I can go are: Barry Manilow - June 16 Boston, MA Steve Miller Band - June 19th Lincoln, RI Steve Miller Band - June 20th Wallingford, CT Sheryl Crow - June 20th Mashantucket, CT Not real thrilled about Barry Manilow, although I've heard the guy is a great showman and has tones of well know songs… Sheryl Crow and the Steve Miller Band, I'd love to see them both but can't do everything… So between the above mentioned concerts which would you go see?

LPguitarman Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 My choice would be Steve Miller Band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelly campbell Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I have seen two of the three and my suggestion would be Stevie Miller..he is still fun and it is one of those shows that just makes you want to get up and move, dance in the Isles if you know what I mean..I have seen Barry Manilow and he is ok, Sheryl Crow I have no real desire to see I have always thought she was over rated although she is easy on the eyes.

Hall Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Steve Miller .... any time he comes to town .... even to this day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVOL! Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Sorry, I think all of those bands are bad. My advise would be to find the weekly free paper in Boston online (every city should have one; in Chicago it is the Reader and in Detroit it is the Metro Times), scout out a local show and hit that. Your wallet will thank you, you'll drink better beer, and you'll hear some new music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the dog Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I live in CT and Mashantucket is closer to Boston than Wallingford....hope that will help you decide..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryUK Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I'm surprised by the replies. To say that any of the 3 acts are bad is ridiculous. They are all top of their game and the musicianship would be great. If I had to pick I'd see Steve Miller. But any would suffice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidblast Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Saw the Steve Miller Band about 4 years ago. GREAT show. if it was down to Steve or Cheryl, Steve. he'll rock the house. and I agree, I'm surprised by the replies too. and say what ya will about Barry, but he also knows how to put on a show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVOL! Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Let me use a better word: boring. Do you really want to hear the Joker or If It Makes You Happy for the millionth time? Stretch out and see something new. Your ears will thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stretch out and see something new. Your ears will thank you. Sure, on Miller. And I'm ready to hear Seasons again also. But more important, I like the way the guy plays the guitar and always has played the guitar! steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookieman15061 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Well here in Pittsburgh Don Felder is opening for SMB. Not sure who's opening in Boston but that's an added bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frances50 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I saw Barry Manilow. He does put on a great show. I would like to see Steve Miller. Not a Sheryl Crowe fan (just don't like country music). I'd go see Steve Miller since I've already seen Manilow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelly campbell Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I just do not think that because the music is "New" that it is gonna be better..I mean thats why a lot of these older bands are able to still draw because the newer music is just average and some people would like to go what they feel comfortable with and know is gonna be good instead of being disappointed..just my take sorry but the old bands still rock.

flyingfrets Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 You might check around & see if Charlie Farren is playing anywhere while you're up that way. He does it all - rock (he was the vocalist for the Joe Perry Project as well as his own band Farrenheit) and acoustic jazz & blues solo work. Worth a listen if you're tired of the same ol' same ol'. He's from the area and plays it pretty frequently. Met him at the NYC IMX Demo show back in '99. Really down to earth, pleasant guy and a hell of an artist.

Lol :( I admit that most of bands and music i am into is blech to the majority here, but he doesn't have to go see some cat destroying the stage with a Jazzmaster and fuzz pedal.

rct Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Let me use a better word: boring. Do you really want to hear the Joker or If It Makes You Happy for the millionth time? Stretch out and see something new. Your ears will thank you. I won't pile on you at all. But there certainly are songs I could hear a million times, and some I probably have. Including mine. You can do both I guess. rct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
