Saw Black Mountain last night in Reno.
This is a band I've been wanting to see for about 10 years now.
Sadly, I was a bit disappointed.
Unbeknownst to me, they got a new singer since their last tour (I scoured the Webz and couldn't find any mention of why Amber Webber left the band since the last albumn and tour).
While the new front woman was competent, she just didn't fit the band's image, imho. She had jet-black hair, over-sized black librarian glasses, and was dressed like a vampire seductress. While she had solid pipes, her range was more soprano as versus the previous lead singer's deep alto (which, imho, was more fitting to the group's overall sound and vibe). She also looked like she should have been fronting a goth metal band or an emo outfit rather than a stoner rock ensemble like Black Mountain.
The band was tight, but the show just never had that certain je ne sais quoi that makes a show truly memorable.
In short, I was about 3-years too late seeing these guys.
Also it was interesting that they were touring in front of a new album (their new album with the new singer doesn't come out until May...most bands usually tour after they release a new album, not 2 months before). Strange to me.Comment

Great venue and great show.
So fortunate to have a place like this near by.
Pre-show at Colony’s pie was a plus.
How was your show, Woodsy?Last edited by nutmegchoi; 03-23-2019, 10:02 PM.Comment

Ghost Light on Friday night at the Turf Club in St Paul. If you're into jam bands playing their own stuff, this is one of the best new bands I've seen in years. The band chemistry is other worldly and fascinating to watch - each of them seems to get so much joy in watching another take it someplace cool.

Colony Grill, proof pizza in CT rocks
Friday show was fun, good friends, GA thought set was full of long droning songs though, not my fav. Although C Brown made me smile like it was 1996.
Red Hot mama to close was smoking hot.
Sunday show was better for me, more energy, cool covers ( Life During Wartime, Lawyers Guns and Money) Another nod to 94 me in Makes sense to me, very well done.
Enjoyed both nights but as much as i think adding Herring was the best thing the band did since Mikey went down hilll, they rely a lot on his searing solos. It gets a bit repetitive.Comment

Saw Dream Theater down in SF a couple nights ago. First half they played a few new tunes & after the intermission they celebrated the 20 year anniversary of Scenes From A Memory by playing the whole album. Outstanding!!!

Congratulations to The Cure. Robert Smith said tour 30 year anniversary of Disintegration later this year:
How The Cure owned the 2019 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Inductions
The Cure Run Through Classics in Exhilarating Rock Hall Induction Set
It was clear right from the start of their set, The Cure are still a band fully capable of wowing on stage. “A Forest,” one of the band’s most popular tracks and a show-stopper in concert, was all consuming in its brilliant guitar work.

Scratch the Stones tour- glad I'm heading for 1st Weekend of Jazz Fest, what a cluster...Something about the wrinkle in your forehead tells me there's a fit about to get thrown
And I never hear a single word you say when you tell me not to have my fun
It's the same old shit that I ain't gonna take off anyone.
and I never had a shortage of people tryin' to warn me about the dangers I pose to myself.
