That's sad if you can only find a few shows to go to in New York City. It can't be that much worse than L.A.

This was a great year of shows for me ~ I took advantage of the year off from the Stones! Most of these tickets were under $100
MY 2008 CONCERTS list:
February 2, LENNY KRAVITZ Hammerstein Ballroom, NYC ~ Fabulous club show, Lenny is very cool and HOT!
February 28, CLAPTON & WINWOOD, Madison Square Garden, NYC ~ REALLY GREAT, these guys are PRO's!
March 1, JOE PERRY & TAB, Hard Rock Cafe, NYC ~ club show which was cool because Joe Perry's 2 sons are in the band "Tab"
March 30 SHINE A LIGHT Premiere, Ziegfeld Theatre NYC,The STONES were there and looking good, not a concert but it was a thrill
April 8, SANTANA Madison Square Garden, NYC ~ he played hard for 3 HOURS!
April 26, THE WALLFLOWERS, House of Blues, AC ~ just went to see Dyan's son, not really a fan but it was good
May 26, MARK KNOPFLER (Dire Straits), Royal Albert Hall, London ~ LOVED the venue, it was fabulous, the show was folk music
May 30, BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN Emirates Stadium, London  ~ one of the best most & enthusiastic BRUCE shows I have ever seen!!
June 1, PAUL McCARTNEY, KAISER CHIEFS & THE ZUTONS, Liverpool Anfield Stadium, UK ~ Best show of my year!!!!
June 7, ROGER HODGSON (Supertramp), Atlantic City ~ small club show which was sweet

June 28, RINGO STARR & HIS ALL STAR BAND (Edgar Winter, Billy Squier, Colin Hay), Taj Mahal Atlantic City ~ simply fabulous!
July 27, BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN, Giants Stadium, NJ ~ great show, and long too, but too crowded and hot as hell
August 3, THE POLICE & ELVIS COSTELLO, PNC Arts Center, NJ ~ prettygood but no new material for the Police, Elvis was better
August 16, BOB DYLAN, The Borgata AC, NJ ~ typical Dylan ~ no frills show but satisfying

Stormtroopin', Stranglehold, Cat Scratch Fever, Free For All, Snakeskin Cowboys, Motor City Madhouse - all classic songs. The first time I saw Ted Nugent he had Tommy Aldridge on the drums. If you can tune out the stuff between the songs, he always delivers a top notch show.
