Scored tickets for upcoming "Big Music Fest" in Kitchener in July. The Saturday show should be good with Extreme, Monster Truck, Jane's Addiction and Soundgarten. This is outdoor show with around 30,000 per day. I passed on the Sunday show with Blondie and Rod Stewart.
Last year was friggin awesome, with headliners Brian Adams, Styx, Slash with Myles Kennedy and Aerosmith. Kitchener's turning into a big time music center.
gonna leave this here

Swung through SF on my way back from Sea Otter and caught Faith No More at the Warfield last night.
Patton was in top form. Caca was insane!
^^^planning to see Faith No More tonight at the Wiltern in LA! Good to know they are still putting on a good show.
I luv me sum FNM
FNM was awesome. Only 90 min, which was a bummer, but got home to SD at a better time.

These guys open, so bad it was ok:
The Pixies - May 21st Flynn theater in BTV
When tix went on sale I passed on getting them for a couple of reasons. Mainly because 25+ years ago I was so fricking cool I actually saw them live a couple of times and knew they is no way they would be as good today. With Kim leaving the band I thought that would be too hard to overcome. I listened to Indy Cindy a couple of times and it was OK but didn't merit further listening.
Well I was wrong, it was awesome. This past week we were offered tix a couple of times and decided to go.
Slow start but the third song was break my body and they tore it up. At this point I realized I was in for a good time. Ended up with 2 hours straight of great tunes. Last 45 minutes or so they went from song to song with no pausing. Lots of tracks from surfer rosa, my favorite album. Great finale choice of Vamos.
Color me impressed. Ears still ringing and I wasn't even close to the stage. Kim's replacement did an admirable job. Good times and it was definitely worth it.
saw Robert Plant and the Sensational Space Shifters last night. walking toward venue with no ticket, I didn't make it 50 feet from my truck when I was offered a ticket for $20.
2nd row center.
booya!
great to see RP sing, they played a bunch of Zep and original stuff, he's still enjoying himself and has the classic Robert Plant dance moves
I saw Jason Bonham at my local venue the last two nights for my Zep fix. He does a little history on his dad. It's a good show.Quote:

Expendables, Dirty Heads, and Slightly Stoopid in CT. What made the show extremely good for me was the venue. Giant soccer fields with a ton of room to play disc, drink beers and listen to reggae. Our innkeeper said the next day that the whole town smelled like marijuana last night :)
Scored a pair of mighty 4th row seats in front of Eddie and saw Van Halen at Concord a couple nights ago. Yeah, Dave is on & off vocally to put it politely, but man is the band on fire.

Since moving to Idaho I haven't seen shit for shows. But right before I left from New York I got to see...
Lenny Kaye from Patti Smith along with The Hipp Pipps for $5 at Hanks Saloon

The Cuts (not so much into the screaming punk, but single handedly the hottest, best speed metal drummer)

Lucero:

Hell yeah!
Max Creek. Still awesome. Free show in the apparent tattoo and cigarette smoke Capitol of the world.

Foo Fighters last night at citifield NYC ..... CRUSHED IT! (and me)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYWxgy1LCg8
^^^When I saw the Foofighters, Dave yelled at some people in the crowd for sitting during the show, so I was surprised he was sitting in your video, but googled that he has a broken leg and still played. That is awesome.
Kenny Wayne Shepard at the Belly Up Sunday. Face melting good.
Bramhall, Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, and Tedeschi Trucks. Really glad we went in for the openers. Sharon is simply awesome. What a talent.
TTB? Sick.

Wilco is really really good live.
Nels is sicktardo.

She's a Brick Hoowzs.
Saw moe at the casino ballroom in Hampton beach. Eh, it was ok. Nate Wilson formerly of AOD sat in on keys. They jam and all, but the songs are just ok IMO. Attachment 168772
And the lights behind the band continually blinded me, which is annoying. Low stages and those behind spotlights are a bad combo.
Hanging out in Strawjack's backyard, I hope he bought you a beer or 2😄!Quote:

well fuck, was going to imbed a couple photos from Targhee Bluegrass Fest last weekend, what a PITA limp-dicked system.
Jerry Douglas was amazing with his new group, Earls of Leicester, [earls of lester, doing all flatt/scruggs tunes]. Barry Bales from Alison Krause, Shawn Camp, damn superband. Lake Street Dive closed it out in fine form as well...
The vocalist for LSD does it for me
I almost went to that show, but had something else going on I guess. That is my backyard, but the armpit of my backyard:) I stay a little north of that scene unless there's a show to hit.Quote:

I saw OCMS a few weeks ago. They are much more mainstream county sounding these days. Not quite as high/lonesome/string band as they had been.
It's funny, I only know the music and what banter they have on stage, but they just seem like cool people, people you'd dig hanging out with and shooting the shit.Quote:

I saw OCMS last summer, and I agree (though they still put on a great show).
Danno - caught DRM last year at the Boulder Theater. One of the best shows I've ever seen.
Jackson Browne at the Greek, Berkeley, last Saturday. Great show.
Shit, time flies, just looked and the show I was referencing was last year. That's the one I meant, fuck it was good.Quote:

^AGREE! Foo Fighters have so much great energy. Caught them last month. Was hoping to catch them again when new dates were added but wasnt meant to be.
I did catch Dick Dale tonight in a very small venue. He is such a legend and seemed like a genuinely cool guy.

I enjoy Dave Grohl inviting special guests to play for a few songs, you never know who is going to pop up. I always thought it would be awesome to see Dick Dale playing with the Foo Fighters. I'd bet Dave would be way in to it.
sorry for the low quality but I was trying to be stealth and respectful of Dick....

^my cousin Chris plays guitar for the Foos, so I've seen them a bunch. They really take touring, putting on a good show, seriously. The first time I was introduced to Dave Grohl all he wanted to talk about was what I thought of the lighting and camera work. The second time I was introduced he still had no idea who I was but was very polite nevertheless.
He didn't know he was meeting a comic strip legend?
