Saw Blackberry Smoke. Pretty good southern rock. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_oGkyYPuFM

They are good I only saw them do a more stripped down acoustic set
Would definitely see them again

 

[skol asylum]

Would love to travel to Vegas for a PJ show but budget requires pumping the brakes on spending for a bit. Instead I grabbed a ticket for Neil Young & Crazy Horse coming here to AZ in April. Never seen Neil before and I figured I better while I still can.

Had written off the expense but went ahead and grabbed a Vegas night 2 ticket for PJ. Can always sell it as the time comes closer if I decide not to go.

 

[Nick Vermeil]

got some more tix

4/02 - The Zombies
4/26 - Hayes Carll and Band of Heathens
5/26 - Futurebirds
5/31 - Pixies, Modest Mouse, Cat Power
6/09 - Jason Isbell

Saw Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit last night at Radio City. Aimee Mann opened. He’s a much better guitarist than I gave him credit for. And such a great songwriter. Incredible show.

Bought Tedeschi Trucks tickets for August

getting Cage the Elephant tickets for my son in September

Saw Blackberry Smoke. Pretty good southern rock. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_oGkyYPuFM

Big fan

 

[Judge Smails]

Just added Tedeschi Trucks at the Greek in LA this summer. Was going to try to get to Red Rocks to see them, but the Greek is a phenomenal venue too and so easy for me.

 

[shuke]

Seeing you guys mention Tedeschi Trucks, just checked the tour schedule. They usually make a stop in Cincy but not this year.

Put in for Phish ticket lottery for 3 nights in Indy in August. Fingers crossed!

 

[Osaurus]

Front 242’s last tour will be happening soon. Might see them on 9/6 if I’m not in Chicago for Peter Hook & The Light (also can go to DC the weekend before to see them)

 

[Ron Swanson]

Got tickets for Corb Lund at a little bar in TX in early April. Also rented the house next door on AirBNB. The backyard backs up to the stage with a grill, firepit, etc. Should be a great time.

 

[NutterButter]

Loving seeing all this TTB interest. Always a great show. Saw them in atlantic city last month. Got them on the calendar for Bethel Woods in august and the beacon 2 nights in sept.

Went to the innings festival in tempe last night. I'm not a fan of festivals in general (just too long for my taste) but as far as festivals, it was very well run. Got to see Dave Matthews Band (incredible how much they still bring it after over 30 years of heavy touring), Noak Kahan (fun band with a lot of young people which is a double edged sword b/c I love the energy they bring but there's a lack of concert etiquette) and Josiah and the Bonnevilles (was planning to see him in NYC but turns out he was playing here so it was nice to check that box).

 

[Big Blue Wrecking Crew]

My wife recently commented we had no shows lined up, so not sure if it was because of this, but went on a bit of a buying spree recently

Beth Hart
Neil Young and Crazy Horse
3 nights of Pearl Jam
PJ Harvey
The National/The War on Drugs/Lucius

The last 3 are all in the month of September, so hope I have the stamina

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Got tickets today for Travis Tritt in August at a cool 1600 seat place we’ve never been to before.
I’ve been wanting to see him live forever. Really looking forward to this one

 

[Osaurus]

Seeing Colin Hay tonight. Looking forward to it. He always puts on a good show.

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

Currently have tickets for:

Neko Case tomorrow.

The Kilby Block Party in May.
Phoenix in May

The National and The War on Drugs in September

 

[shuke]

Saw Dopapod last night. Great show.

 

[CGRdrJoe]

Foo Fighters at concord pavilion just announced today for an August show, presale tomorrow venue only holds 12,500 people so should be a great place to see them at.

 

[rockaction]

Neil Young and Crazy Horse

That is not an inexpensive ticket. I've heard about the cost of those. Hooo baby. Have fun, man.

 

[Atomic Punk]

Saw the Trans-Canada Highwaymen on Friday. These guys put on an awesome show. They are somewhat of a Canadian “super group” with members from four other Canadian bands, The Barenaked Ladies, The Odds, Pursuit of Happiness and Sloan. Most impressive was how they moved around interchangeable between singing and instruments.

 

[Osaurus]

Went to the Ministry show in St. Pete mostly to see Gary Numan. He was awesome. I’ll be seeing him again (same show) in Vegas on 4/4. I left before Ministry took the stage

 

[Sabertooth]

Why would you pay for a ticket and then leave? What did you do when you left? Something better than live music you already paid to see? Do you really not like Ministry?

 

[Osaurus]

Nope. Went to see Gary Numan. Besides, I am seeing them all in a week.

 

[Atomic Punk]

I know this question was targeted to another poster but this same thing happened to me a few weeks ago. Went to see Nathaniel Ratliff and the Nightsweats, and City and Colour and thought the former was the headliner. I was wrong. NR&N came on and put out a fantastic show. Then C&C came on … apparently they are an emo band. I couldn’t take more the 5-6 songs and had to leave. It just wasn’t my bag. Felt a little silly walking out but I seriously just couldn’t listen to that drivel any longer.

I do it from time to time, but mostly bc it's bands I want to see paired with bands I don't. No biggie for me especially for last night's show since I am seeing them again next week.

Yikes. City and Colour aren't emo at all. I've seen both bands multiple times and Dallas Green is such a talented songwriter. I'd say in recent years as Nathaniel Rateliff has gone farther away from his S.O.B. shtick and more singer songwritery and City and Colour has gone more from a solo project to a full band outfit, their sounds have gotten closer and closer to each other.

So far in the hopper:

April 14 - Noah Kahan
April 23 - Matthew Good
May 4 - The Postal Service/Death Cab for Cutie
June 13-16 - Bonnaroo, probably
Nov 29 - Tokyo Police Club - final show
Jan 30, 2025 - Sum 41 - final show

PUP just got added as the opener for the Sum 41 show and that makes me extremely happy.

His first words when he grabbed the mic were, “I hope you’re all ready to get emotional” … I kid you not. I’ve listened to a few of their songs on the radio and didn’t mind them, so not sure what put me off so much at the concert.

 

[CletiusMaximus]

My wife and I have been randomly shrieking out Men at Work tunes since Colin Hay last week, much to the annoyance of everyone else in the household. He’s 70 but the pipes are strong and he’s a better guitar player than I remembered. Lots of shows on the docket for me this spring and summer - Brittany Howard/War and Treaty, Chris Smither, Sarah Shook, William Elliot Whitmore, Del McCoury, Tim O’Brien and several more that are on the calendar as tentative.

 

[Wingnut]

Jeff Lynne's ELO is on their farewell tour, and they're not coming anywhere near us so we got tickets for Pittsburgh in September. We saw him last time he rolled through Tampa a couple years ago and it was a fantastic show. Looking forward to seeing him one last time.

 

[Dan Lambskin]

taking my kid to see Korn in September. Was a big fan back in the day and never got a chance to see them. Gojira opening

Colin is also part of Ringo Starr’s AS Band.

 

[Chaz McNulty]

I saw Nation of Language in December and it was one of my favourite shows of the past few years. Mid sized club in Toronto (looks like it's 1350 capacity), it was jam packed and they put on a great show. Front man has huge rock star energy.

I'm getting a fairly full lineup for the coming year as well, a couple legendary Canadian bands have announced they are breaking up and I have tickets to both of their last shows ever. One in particular - Tokyo Police Club - is going to be tough, I've seen them so many times over the years and Champ is still in my top 5 albums ever. Hoping they pull out all the stops/special friends for these last shows.

So far in the hopper:

April 14 - Noah Kahan
April 23 - Matthew Good
May 4 - The Postal Service/Death Cab for Cutie
June 13-16 - Bonnaroo, probably
Nov 29 - Tokyo Police Club - final show
Jan 30, 2025 - Sum 41 - final show

Side note, I hate how far in advance a lot of the "major" shows get announced these days. Does Ticketmaster really need my money over a year in advance of a Sum 41 show?

Just watched him last Tuesday. Excellent show. The only thing that annoyed me is that the crowd knows every word to every song and they belt it out. Sometimes it drowns him out a little.

 

[Judge Smails]

Bruce on Sunday in LA. Looking forward to it

 

[shuke]

Thinking of taking my son to the Cincy show. These ticket prices are ridiculous.

 

[ericttspikes]

Got tix for Adrian Belew, Danny Carey, Tony Levin and Steve Vai playing King Crimson's Discipline, Beat and Three of a Perfect Pair this Fall.

[El Floppo]

Two of my favorite garage/punk bands playing around the corner from me in a few weeks. I'm so tempted, but I'll be so old relative to crowd and it'll all be too loud and frightening.

Wine Lips and Bad Nerves

 

[shuke]

Cut the ****.

 

[Chaz McNulty]

Considering going to see the X Ambassadors tomorrow at a smaller venue. My daughter really likes these guys. I only know a couple of their songs.

Has anyone ever saw them live? Any good?

Fwiw, I was paraphrasing Grandpa Simpson.


But young people are indeed frightening. Along with all that ruckus they make. And new places.

Got tix to Heart in San Diego @ Pachanga Arena Dec. 13th. San Diego Date just added to their Royal Flush Tour. Cheap Trick is opening! Should be a solid show if the sisters can get along for 2 hours at a time for a few months. I made sure to get insurance on the tix!

Oh man I’m totally getting tickets to the Detroit leg. Never seen cheap trick but love their stuff. heart (I like their hits anyway)

I was thinking of seeing Gary Clark Jr same night, not sure wife would have been interested in that one anyway

 

[El Floppo]

Foo Fighters have The Hives and Amyl and the Sniffers opening for them in NYC.

iDLES and The Walkmen doing a show together too in the fall.

 

[Osaurus]

Waiting for Ministry to take the stage in Vegas. Front Line Assembly and Gary Numan were awesome (again)

 

[shuke]

Took the kids to Asheville this past weekend to see daughter's favorite band, The Crane Wives. Was indoor at Salvage Station, a great little venue. I was definitely in the top 5 oldest people there.

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Never seen cheap trick but love their stuff. heart (I like their hits anyway)

I saw them last summer. They were great

 

[Dan Lambskin]

Kinda want to go see mannequin puppy (it’s not puppy but I don’t want to get banned)

 

[Osaurus]

For Any Paul Weller fans (aka The Modfather), he's doing a 9 show tour in September. Presale tickets go on sale today. Code is Weller66 if you're interested. I am going to see him in DC.

10/11&12 - Riverfront Revival Fest (Tedeschi Trucks, Revivalists, Paul Cauthen, Hootie, Collective Soul, Arrested Development)

That’s a Thursday/Friday … has the making of my next music/football trip if the Panthers are at home that weekend.

Doubt you were planning on it, but definitely don't miss Gojira.
