Actually the situation is worse than that if you hate 70's rock.  The
variegated shows are:

Styx/Kansas
Reo Speedwagon/Foreigner/Frampton
Ted Nugent/Bad Company
Boston/Cheap Trick
Lynyrd Skynyrd/Douche Bag Brothers
Jethro Tull/ELP
Scorpions/Alice Cooper
Steely Dan
Santana

If people didn't want to see them they wouldn't be playing at large
venues like Shoreline or Concord Pavillion.

There's plenty of other quality live music.  Dick Dale just came to town,
Motorhead played a couple of months ago, Ray Davies is coming back to play
10 shows at a 400 seat theatre .....
