Concerts (First, Favorite, Fail, and Future)

[Rev. Rye]

• First: Paul McCartney 2002 at the United Center
  
• Favourite: it’s hard to pick one, but I think FINALLY seeing Jackson Browne do “Late for the Sky” is certainly a recent highlight, as is the Yacht Rock Revue concert I ended the 2022 Ravinia season on. Or the time I got to see Vertigo in concert and Kim Novak actually sat behind me in the audience.
  
• Fail: I’ve had a couple concerts I’ve had to miss, either due to the rain getting too bad (and, in one instance, having my basement flood mid-concert), or Dad’s back acting up, or one particularly unfortunate incident where I had to give George Benson and Buddy Guy a miss because, well, the temperature was so high that I suspect that only Fremen could have survived on the lawn tickets we had.
  
• Future: 2024 looks like a good Ravinia season, concerts like ZZ Top and The Ship of Theseus Lynyrd Skynyrd, or Robert Plant and Alison Kraus, or John Hall and Elvis Costello. Yes, it turns out there’s a lot of double headers this year.
  

Yes, most of the last three categories are filled with Ravinia concerts, because, frankly, that’s most of the concerts I go to at this point.
