Review - Lady Antebellum / Darius Rucker / Thompson Square @ Wells Fargo Arena - Des Moines,IA 1-28-12 Review - Lady Antebellum @ Wells Fargo Arena, Des Moines, IA Lady Antebellum brought their "Own The Night" Tour to Des Moines and invited Hootie & the Blowfish rocker, Darius Rucker, and Country-duo, Thompson Square, as openers. The show was just about totally sold-out. I saw Thompson Square open up for a sold-out Jason Aldean show earlier this year, so I was [...]

Mike's Top 10 Concert Photos from 2011 Mike's Top 10 Photos from 2011 Twenty-eleven was an amazing year for me with YouTellConcerts.com. I went to (and shot) more shows than I could have possibly imagined in one year. I'm a music junkie all the way, but to be a photographer up front in the photo pit armed with my camera and favorite lens...well nothing compares. It was very tough to pick my favorite ten photos out of all the thousands I took during [...]

Review - Brian Setzer @ Prairie Meadows Events Center - Altoona, IA 12-3-11 Review - Brian Setzer @ Prairie Meadows Events Center Brian Setzer came and really 'rocked this town!' This was such a cool show. I've really liked this guy all the way back to the Stray Cats. It was just a band that never came to my area. He is truly the master of Rockabilly. His current tour is entitled "Rockabilly Riot." The show features two sets. [...]
Review - Puddle of Mudd with Pop Evil and Lansdowne @ People's Court - Des Moines, IA 11-17-11 Review - Puddle of Mudd @ People's Court This was a band I've been wanting to see for years, but I kept missing them every time they came around here. This was another People's Court show. It seems like as the weather cools down, this bar heats up in the winter months. This show had a really good turnout. I [...]

Review - Buddy Guy @ The 7 Flags Event Center - Clive, IA - 10/15/11 Review - Buddy Guy @ 7 Flags Event Center - Clive, IA Buddy Guy brought it to The 7 Flags! I had been wanting to see this guy for years and kept hearing from my Blues friends how great he was. Well, they sure were right! He's now 75 years young and still delivers a show that any die-hard Blues fan would kill for! The place [...]

Review - Little Big Town @ Hoyt Sherman Auditorium - Des Moines,IA 9-15-11 Review - Little Big Town @ Hoyt Sherman Auditorium Little Big Town blessed the Hoyt Sherman Auditorium with a show on September 15th, and oh, what a show it was! The opener for this special evening was Eric Paslay, who was an amazing performer all around and quite something on the acoustic guitar. He did a 45-minute set that the crowd really enjoyed. His acoustic sounded [...]

Review - Blondie @ Harrah's Stir Cove - Council Bluffs, IA 9-5-11 Review - Blondie @ Harrah's Stir Cove Review By: Shelly Banks When Blondie took the stage in Council Bluffs Labor Day evening, I was transported back to 1979. Her looks, her moves, her "Blondieness;" all timeless. She's 66 years old, yet ageless. She's been missing from the music scene for about 8 years, but her performance says she's never left the stage. She's back on the scene to [...]

Review - Bret Michaels Rockfest 2011 @ Meskwaki Casino - Tama, IA - 8-27-11 Bret Michaels Rockfest 2011 @ Meskwaki Casino Concert Review Rockfest 2011 was a totally last minute show. I got there just in time to catch Bret Michaels ' entire set, but missed the other acts that were on the bill. The Meskwaki Casino shows are held outside on a superb and large stage, that can accommodate pretty much any big show. The weather was perfect, and I love shows outdoors in the summertime. I was [...]
