One thing I miss from the pre-pandemic era is the concerts. I can complain all day about astronomical ticket prices, crummy opening acts, and how much I hate waiting for performers to take the stage. But none of those really matter, because a concert is a chance to experience music as a communal event.

Kiwi troubadour Neil Finn (one of the Complimentary Spouse’s favorite singers) joined Fleetwood Mac on their most recent tour.
