There are tons of discussions about todays music not having what the 60's, 70's and some early 80's brought. I am 54. I started to go to concerts when I was 14 in 1969. I saw a lot of greats, missed a few, but I have been to a lot of concerts through the 80's. For me, WHATEVER IT IS, I started noticing a difference in the vibe of concerts. I wasn't as amused and moved by performances anymore. Things slowly moved to a sterile atmosphoshere. And fewer and fewer bands yanked my chain.
So what is it? The quality of music? The constant rehash? IS rock dead now and did its death start in the 80's? And can a young guy walk into a venue, see his favorite artist and get the same rush I got seeing Hendrix? I tend to say its all been done. The cat has been skinned and stop squeezing the rock, there's no more water.
