I saw The Roots, Arrested Development, and Digable Planets last weekend. T'was a good time, highly recommend.
That would be last Friday night at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth. Chicago and Earth Wind and Fire. Both bands were on stage at the end. There must have been at least 20 people up there all playing at the same time and most of them were about ten years older than I am.
I forgot about this thread. For my birthday in June I say one of my remaining "bucket list" singers, George Strait. I have been a fan for as long as I've had a radio and don't recall him ever coming to the area, so I had to hold my nose and cross the river to Giants Stadium in Jersey and see him. Opening acts were Little Big Town, who I didn't think I knew but was able to sing most of their songs, and then Chris Stapleton who I really like. Both put on great hour plus long performances before George came on. I was afraid at his age it might be a little rough, but he was as much fun to see as I'd hoped. Overall it was almost six hours of music and really not a bad one in the whole show.
Lemonheads tomorrow night. Can't wait
Last night we saw Pylon Reenactment Society with The Pauses. PRS is the modern version of Pylon–supposedly R.E.M.’s favorite band, while The Pauses come out of Orlando.
It sounded a bit like this.
Tonight. The city opened a new amphitheater about 400 yards from my back porch.
It was berkeleying terrible. Like a Donk parked in my back yard for hours.
Journey, Def Leppard, and Steve Miller Band.
July 13. Truist Park. Atlanta.
Caught the last 2 acts of Richmond's jazz festival a few weeks ago, Saint Paul and the Broken Bones followed by Ludacris. Both fantastic performances and 2nd time seeing Luda, who puts on a very polished show.
More live music this past Saturday up in Jax: Pylon Reenactment Society (again) with It‘s Snakes. The latter features Hope Nicholls, formerly of Fetchin Bones, on vocals (and also drums). Killer performance all around.

SP&BB are on my list for someday. I really want to see them. I've heard they do a fantastic live show.
Gaslight Anthem at Fillmore Detroit last night with AK1:
This venue was called the State Theatre for decades. It is a very cool old place.
And some pics from Friday’s show. I still need to sort through Saturday’s.
Pylon Reenactment Society:
And The Pauses:

Just now.
Coheed & Cambria (eh? Never a huge fan) opened for Incubus on the 23rd (???) anniversary of the Morning View album.
Excellent concert.
The 500 pounds show we saw 6 months was so good, when they booked a small wedding venue in Delhi, Ontario I had to go. Tickets, because the venue wasn't much bigger than my basement, we're $90, but it was worth it, and another great show.
Their new drummer is really young, and has improved so much in the last couple years, it's really nice to see the progress. They guy is really good.

That is a really awesome venue. I love that era theater.

We saw a stripped down acoustic version of SP&BB in a little chapel in Charleston ahead of the High Water music festival one year. Was one of the more memorable performances I've attended, and I probably couldn't name you 4 songs of theirs. Was really good. Dude has some real dynamic range on his voice.
Edit: put it to Google machine because I thought I recalled it was commercially recorded. It was: https://gardenandgun.com/video/back-porch-session-st-paul-broken-bones/
And to answer original question for thread, Floyd Fest was my last live music. I was there for 4 days with both kids (~4 and ~1), wife, my parents, my sister and her family/kids, my best friend, and a bunch of friendly strangers. Was a blast. Town Mountain, the Heavy Heavy and Vincent Neil Emerson were probably my favorite acts I saw there.

I totalled my FD RX-7 while 'Warning' was cranked to 11. I found a certain irony in that, at a superficial level, and haven't forgotten it.
We saw Jane‘s Addiction in Jacksonville, and things with the band deteriorated soon after–well, guess they were already heading that way. (TL;DR: During the Boston show, Perry Farrell threw a punch at Dave Navarro on stage.)
Today’s announcement:
And more live music for us: Last night, we saw T.S.O.L. here in Ormond Beach.
Ormond gets like one good show per decade. 
I went to Wilson Jazz Fest Saturday in Wilson NC. It was the first annual festival. My son conceived it and organized it. 4 good bands in 4 different venues downtown. It was free to attend. It was an impressive event for a town this size.
I had won VIP tickets travel and accomidations to the SeaHearNow festival in Asbury Park with Springsteen, Black Crows, the Revivalists and others. My wife has Alzheimers and I couldn't get anyone to stay with her for 4 days so I had to decline the prize.
I made the best of the situation and enjoyed the helll out of the local jazz.
Took my oldest son to see AJR on their "The Maybe Man" tour on his birthday last month. It was an awesome show. We got matching tour shirts. First tour shirts I've bought in decades.
I was just in Fredricksburg, TX for Boxstoberfest. Lot's of live music in the downtown area and at a lot of the wineries.
Prior to that I went to the Double Down Saloon in Las Vegas (highly recommend), which is a great punk rock bar for surf rock night.
The last big venue/big band name I attended was Blink-182 at PetCo park in San Diego. It was a blast but I expected more with it being their hometown. I was spoiled as the last time I saw them was their last stop on their North American tour in 2023 and they did like an extra 30 minute encore which was amazing.
Not sure what's next. A group of friends invited me to see Morgan Wallen? but that kind of country ain't my thing.

Dude there was just a huge punk show down in Orlando with a great lineup.
In reply to DirtyBird222 :
Yeah and T.S.O.L. was part of it. To be honest, not a fan of that venue and just wasn’t up for an all-day thing, especially with the recent rain. Seeing T.S.O.L. from the front row not even 10 minutes from home was perfect.
