Phoenix Fall Concert Scene

We generally get good concerts from September thru about March here in Phoenix.  I think our climate is a huge factor in this. Here's the highlights for the next couple months.  First up is Nightwish; on Sunday, 14 September; which is odd since they were here last November, and AFAIK are not promoting a new album.

Nightwish put on a fabulous show last year, but once again this concert starts at 6:40 PM with a warm-up band.  To wit, Sonata Arctica, said to be a Finnish Power Metal band.  That means Nightwish won't even come on stage until 9:30 or so.  Bad news for those of us who have to work the next day.   The concert I'm more excited about is Apocalyptica, who's here on Sunday, 02 November, and for only $15 a ticket.

That's almost a must-see. But wait! It gets even better.

In December, the dynamic diva herself, Sarah Brightman, comes to town.  Kewlness indeed!

We actually bought our tickets for Sarah early this year.  It was a Channel 8 PBS promotion. I confess, I'm a huge SB fan.  Except when she sings that Andrew Lloyd Webber crap.
