Seeing the classic punk band MDC at a local brewery and also going to see Orbital in SF November 16.
Went to the Green + Brown show at the Troxy (London). They were superb.

Managed to grab tickets to The Cure there on 1st November, too. Which should be fun.
 
Saw Goose last weekend. Don’t love them but once the edibles and a few beers kicked in I was dancing like a fool. Great light show.

They are doing a 3 night run in Cincy in November. I don't like them enough to do all three but am doing two.

Was that Geese? Or a different band with the singular name?

I mentioned the bass player was in all of floppinhos school of rock bands. Kid was insanely talented.

Big fan of theirs, even before I learned about that connection.

Love Orbital. They’re a band I’ve never been able to see in person. Enjoy!
Omg... Hadn't thought about them in years!!

Saw them in NYC or SF when they first came out... Early 90s? Fun, fun show. I recall each had headlights on that looked a bit like laser eyes in the dark theater.

LMAO.

Two bands with similar bad names. Ok then
 
I know this is WAY outside the threads "cup of tea" but Sick New World PreSale is on now for Vegas in April 2025. PreSale Code is : MASTER.

Tix and lodging booked!!! :headbang:
My kid wanted to go last year and asked again this year because Acid Bath is reuniting (although I guess he mainly liked the bassist that died) but he’ll only be 16 and im not quite sure I’m ready to take him to an all day festival in Vegas
Maybe once he turns 18 I’ll make it his Christmas present

Our Daughter, 29,is into metalcore, but has tagged along since she was young to tons of metal concerts since she was a teen. She was either 15 or 16 when I took her to see Motley Crue at The Palace of Auburn HIlls, so I get the concern! Now, she "takes" mom and dad to things like Shadow of Intent down at St Andrews (which was quite the experience). As a family, we love festivals and do Hangout Fest in Gulf Shores each year. I will say that for all of the festivals, we have felt incredibly safe and comfortable. In fact, our biggest issue all around is how militant (rightly so) security is upon entering.

Sounds like we’ll probably run into you at a Michigan show eventually, he goes to a few on his own with friends too but he’s definitely into the metal / hardcore scene

I think his next one is Black Dhalia Murder / Dying Fetus in November (I’m skipping that one)

We did Eyehategod earlier this year at the Sanctuary as well as Korn/Mudvaybe and Megadeth/Gojira at Pine Knob

He just saw Hatebreed too at Royal oak

Im not really too worried about the safety aspect, I’d probably take him if mom gave the OK but I also don’t want to spend a few racks on the trip either
 
Really great show Thursday night. Life is a Carnival - celebration of Robbie Robertson. Man what a lineup. At times there were 22 musicians on stage. Eric Church kicked it off with a great version of Up on Cripple Creek. So many great moments. Eric Clapton did 4 songs. Van Morrison did 3. Mike Campbell did some great stuff with the rest of the Heartbreakers and Margot Price. Robert Randolph. Trey Anastasio. Bob Weir. They just kept coming. Jamey Johnson killed a few songs and I might have been most impressed with Nathaniel Rateliff. First time seeing him and man was he great. I knew The Band’s music but not their story. So I watched Once were Brothers and The Last Waltz on my flight from DC. So good

I can in to post that floppinho has one of his HS coffee houses tonight. Senior year, so these are the last ones .. 😢.

The exciting part is that he and 8th grade floppinha will be doing a duet - the first time they've ever performed together. I'm already crying thinking about it.
:cry:

It was amazing.

And the kids at their school who go to these are so incredibly supportive...tons of cheering and whooping for all the performers, even moreso if any of them struggle. My son gave his 8th grade sister a great introduction (it's only HS kids that perform) and they did great. Will remember this forever.

Goose, not Geese, which is a different band.

Gooses. Geeses.

And by the way ..

I want a feast... I want a BEAN feast.
 
Seeing Sturgill Simpson tomorrow night for his benefit concert for Western NC. Friday I'm seeing Gillian Welch and David Rawlings.
I saw Gillian and Dave in Charlotte. Unlike past shows it was a fairly even split on who sang lead and they seemed to be more relaxed . They also did an unplanned second encore to play a Malcolm Holcomb song and a few others.

I bet Sturgill was awesome.

Sturgill was awesome. He is now performing under the name Johnny Blue Skies, and he has an album out under that name. He and his band played for 3 hours. They sounded great, and it was a fun mix of Sturgill songs, two or three Johnny Blue Skies songs, and several covers. Some of the covers that I can recall are Midnight Rider, Whiter Shade of Pale, The Promise, Purple Rain, Call Me the Breeze, Long White Line, Pinball Blues, You Don't Miss the Water, I'd Have to Be Crazy, a snippet of Spirit in the Sky, and the last song of the evening was L.A. Woman. It was a lot of fun.

I'm looking forward to Gillian and Dave Friday night.

Love Orbital. They’re a band I’ve never been able to see in person. Enjoy!
Omg... Hadn't thought about them in years!!

I missed seeing Crystal Method last year (friend had to back out), so I'm pretty psyched to see Orbital. Now I just need to catch a FatBoy Slim / Chemical Brothers show and my tour or 90s electronica will almost be complete :biggrin:
 
My buddy was gonna hook me up with backstage passes to see Slayer and Pantera at Aftershock festival in Sacramento. But much as I love Pantera, I just can't get excited to meet Phil Anselmo after watching his Nazi salute video. Just bums me out.

I was lucky enough to see 808 State once in the early 90s. Meat Beat Manifesto opened for them.

Orbital was in NYC at Limelight, church turned into a nightclub.

I saw Chemical Bros in SF somewhere in SoMa. The loudest show I've ever been to.

They were great last night, berndog. It was a lovely laid-back show, and the first song of the evening they did was "Brokedown Palace" as a tribute to Phil Lesh. :heart:

Fare thee well, Phil 🌹
 
Next up for me is a favorite of mine. Seeing The Chameleons this Sunday night
They literally opened this tour in my current home town and somehow I completely missed the news and I’m ****ing upset.

Strange Times is a top 100 album for me. I’m an idiot for missing this show.

Enjoy!
I saw them last year with Theatre of Hate and The Mission (UK). Really looking to forward to hearing all of Strange Times live.

Tried to convince the wife to go to a 3 day festival in Punta Cana

Tool - two sets
Primus
Mastadon
Coheed and Cambria

She said no

To be fair it was like $6K for 2 people and that didn’t even include flights

Hah I book and ask for forgiveness later. “Honey, don’t forget we have a concert on Friday”. Of course I booked it 10 months ago
 
I saw UK buzzband Fat Dog last night. They're a five piece including a sax and play a noisy brand of punk EDM krautrock. The kids seem to be into moshing again because there was a wild and mostly well behaved pit active for both bands on the bill. Fat Dog's keyboard player came onto the floor for a pushup contest with the audience which I'd never seen before.

I still love going to see new bands even though I'm twice as old as most everybody else in the club these days. Every live concert comes with possibilities but I think the chance of seeing something unique is higher when the artists haven't performed their set hundreds of times before. Standing and dancing on a concrete floor for three hours takes more a physical toll on me than it used to.
 
First time seeing String Cheese Incident last night. Anyone else ever seen them? I think there's a couple of jam bands fans in the ffa. That was a really fun show. Far exceeded my expectations. Those old mofos can really jam. I was running on fumes after they played for 3.5 hours. I liked them a lot more than Goose. A lot more diversity in the genres of music they cover. Even Phish where some of their jams just go in all different directions before coming back together, I appreciated the cohesion in their jams. Always wanted to give them a shot and the opportunity finally presented itself. Look forward to seeing them again next year. Its also nice they don't have nearly the following as Phish so you can see them in more intimate venues.
