It's all about the fall:
I'll be seeing Tedeschi Trucks at the Beacon in October, followed by Wilco a week later at Radio City.
I've got Steve Hackett in September in CT, and I will probably get to see the California Guitar Trio as well.
I'm pretty pumped. The first 3 acts I mentioned are generally the ones at the top of my list to see live.

Dan Baird & Homemade Sin
Stones

The above shows are the shows I have tickets for. Of course more shows will come up. Probably going to Kurt Vile and Dinosaur Jr. at Central Park and debating about going to see Kiss at the Barclays Center. Kind of pissed that I turned down lower level tickets in the back for one of the Crossroads Benefit shows when they went on sale. Hoping to score some reasonably priced tickets for that.

Man BIGV!! The cream of the cream!! I did see the Slash show this month and it was pretty good, the highlight was the blistering 10min solo he delivered mid show, we was right up close . I have gotten used to a solo or 2 like that every tune? As almost every Fall, I am hoping to see Dylan soon, but as of yet, he has posted no dates.............Peace.........joe

Mid Sept - Electric Hot Tuna/David Bromberg, Revolution Hall, Portland

Saw John Hiatt there, what a great venue.
Saw John Hiatt there, what a great venue.
Best hall in Oregon, if not the PNW. Nice layout, with the restaurant and all, roomy.
I thought my fall list of shows would be complete with the trifecta of Wilco (Radio City), Tedeschi Trucks (Beacon), and Steve Hackett (Ridgefield Playhouse), but tickets for two more shows in September just dropped in my lap: California Guitar Trio (FTC Stage One) and Dweezil Zappa doing "Hot Rats" etc (FTC Warehouse). This is going to be an epic run!!
Mule at The Riv in Chicago next month. 
Everything in Moderation. Including Moderation.
1st night of Crossroads Guitar Festival next month!!!
Recently saw Hot Tuna with Dave Mason opening. Excellent show and those old boys can still bring it.
So far have tix for
Govt Mule in a few weeks 5th row center
Rick Wakeman solo
Thinking about Jimmy Herring end on Sept and then NM All Stars in November
