CONCERT ROUNDUP: Rancid, Three Dog Night, Pitbull, T-Pain

​Anyone who knows me (Chuck) knows that I love concerts. It's my vice.

​Chuck's Concert Roundup is designed to share videos of some concerts I've attended recently, and discuss my love for music and fellow musicians.

Rancid. 

This was my first time seeing Rancid. I saw them at Great American Ballpark. I grew up on their big hits -- "Time Bomb" and "Fall Back Down."

"Ruby Soho" is a special song for me because my rock cover band played that song in our lineup. It was usually played toward the end of the night (coming up to 2 a.m.) where many people had left, and we transitioned away from playing crowd pleasers (like Journey) to playing for ourselves. 

Three Dog Night.

As I keep saying, if you're an aging classic rock artist, I want to see you perform. Three Dog Night was tons of fun. Going in, I thought I would recognize 3-5 of their songs, and ended up recognizing about 8-9. Saw these guys at the Hard Rock Casino. 

Pitbull. 

This man ruled pop a decade ago. He was high energy and entertaining. I saw him at Riverbend, and my favorite song of his is "I Like It."

T-Pain.

"Get Low" has been burned into my brain ever since Tom Cruise danced to it in Tropic Thunder.
