S03E01 - The Encore: Wrapping Up 2024’s Live Music Scene

In the first-ever year-end concert review show for the 'Seeing Them Live' podcast, host Charles and his panel of previous guests, including Eric Green, Jessica Catena, Doug Florzak, Steve Pothel, Summer, and Scott Patrick Wiener, review their concert experiences from 2024. The panel members take turns speaking about their most memorable shows, spanning a wide range of venues, cities, and genres, providing vivid anecdotes along the way.

Eric discusses his rich year, including covering bands like Bim Skala Bim, the Dandy Warhols, and Foo Fighters. Summer shares her experiences of attending Lollapalooza and seeing Green Day at Wrigley Field among others. Jessica details her rain-soaked yet impactful experience at the Global Citizen Festival in Central Park and makes plans for 2025. Doug recounts his concert experience joining Charles and previous guest Art Gregg seeing a Led Zeppelin cover band, Led Zeppelin II, at the House of Blues in Chicago. Doug also describes a Soraia concert where Doug and Charles recorded podcast content. Steve recounts emotional concert memories, such as traveling to see Joan Jett and the Psychedelic Furs and plans for upcoming shows.
