State fair shows generally suck but this might be one I need to check out.
The SF is definitely not one of my favorite venues. The Black Keys last year is the only concert I’ve been to there and it was just ok. Not sure if I’ll pull the trigger on this one or not.

Robert Plant is playing June 11th in Des Moines. There's no need to go see his Zeppelin rip-off band at the fair also.
I get that they sound similar to Zeppelin but they are not a tribute band, they perform their own songs. Plant without Page is like Van Halen without Eddie.

May 1 - Nothing More, Wage War, Sleep Theory
May 7 - Staind, Seether
May 14 - Disturbed, Falling In Reverse, Plush
May 24 - From Ashes to New, Point North, Ekoh, Phix, Elijah
Aug 19 - Five Finger Death Punch, Marilyn Manson (unfortunately)

You left early on Ben? What a shame. Saw him several years ago and it was great!

He was good! I like Ben a lot - it was just getting late, and the Femmes were our mission!
