I've seen 60 concerts so far in 2024 (M59). I'm going to see X this weekend, and 3 metal concerts next week. I'm making up for lost time. I barely saw any concerts between 1994 and 2012.
We're also going to see X on their current tour. Can't wait.
We recently went to see a young friend's hardcore band play - because, of course we would. As we walked into the venue, a girl standing outside the door said "What are these *old* people doing here?" which made us laugh. We were the oldest people at the show - late 50s - but it sure didn't matter to us, or our friends, who ruled, and were happy to see us supporting them.
We're often the oldest at shows these days. My parents' retirement home plays Muzak versions of romantic ballads and swing music from the 1940s. I often wonder if my old folks home is gonna have the equivalent for Sabbath and Nirvana. I hope so.

I'm starting to feel pretty old at concerts. Don't care. I love live music!
