My BHAG: To find all the good music…and see a bunch of it live!
Current Status: Contemplating what my next live show is going to be. Now that COVID is allowing things to open back up I need to get out again.

I like all kinds of music but these are my favorite artists of all time!
Deano’s Musical Masterworks -Favorite Concerts
I prefer concerts to most other live events. Some are better than you expect, and others let you down compared to what you expected (although this is rarer). This is a rough list (probably not complete) of my favorite live performances of all time.

Deano’s One Disc White Album
Task: Cut the White Album down to a single disk (15 songs) AND resequence the album. Joey’s Resequence Notes: I view this album as the first sign that the Beatles would break up. I’ve sequenced the album in that fashion. From songs the entire band was involved in and fairly typical (whatever that means) Beatles…

Favorite Concert of 2021
Nate Bargatze The only “concert” I went to in 2021 was late in the year due to COVID. For much of 2020 and 2021, the world of live entertainment was shut down completely. In late 2021 I made it out to my only live performance for the year. It wasn’t a music concert but rather…
Favorite Concert of 2020
RÜFÜS DU SOL – Live from Joshua Tree We snuck in seeing Post Malone before COVID got kicked off too much (in March of 2020). I like Post Malone but this concert was for my wife. She loves Post Malone. It was a fun night and we didn’t get COVID and die from going (which…
My Chocolate Rain and Brad T Brown Commemorative Tribute Video
I was cleaning off a hard drive recently and found an old file that brought back sweet memories. Back in the early days of YouTube (and MySpace), a response video was a thing. In the early days of YouTube (in 2007) a viral video (Chocolate Rain by Tay Zonday) and ultimately response video(s) to it…

Most important musical act of all time? Same thing I guarantee The Beatles are in that discussion. When I look…
Favorite Concert of 2019
DEADMAU5 – CUBE V3 Tour This is my favorite concert of my entire life. The light show/stage setup was phenomenal. We had great seats to be able to relax for the very long show. Deadmau5 is known for his ‘cubes’ and this 3rd version was his biggest ever. It was spectacular. I made a video…
Exploring Austin, Texas Outside!
We went to Austin, TX for a Deadmau5 concert (that my wife didn’t want to go to at all). To make it up to her I tried to show her a good time exploring Austin outdoors. Austin, TX is a fun city and reminds me a little of Nashville (where we live). We like Nashville…
Chasing Down The Best Music!
I’m a collector. I like to research, seek out, collect, rank, classify, and organize stuff. One of the things I’ve always enjoyed collecting is music. When I was a kid and didn’t have any money, I would listen to the Top 40 Countdown on the radio (hosted by Casey Kasem). I’d have a cassette recorder…
