Was going to go tonight, but passed due to rain in NJ. May hit that show at MSG in the fall. How were the openers?

Great. Lanco and Brothers Osborne. Both acts were fantastic openers.dal_boys_phan said:

Horse Feathers was entertaining. I was amazed how often he had to tune his guitar. It was literally after every song and took some time. I get it that its your guitar and you have had it long enough that its beat to #### but seriously?
Was a good show for a VERY small crowd. Maybe 40-50 people?

U2 last night. Very entertaining show. More of an experience than a show. ?

How was the show? Last two times they’ve been here I’ve done the headphones and snowcones thing. Highly recommended.

Took my daughter and 2 of her friends to Thomas Rhett Friday night. Openers were Russell Dickerson and Brett Young and it was a surprisingly good show. May have a line on Bayou Country Superfest tickets in Nola next weekend with George Strait and Stapleton to name a couple. Really hoping that comes through.

Pretty good. I didn't notice anyone with headphones. May not have been in a state to notice, though.

That looks pretty cool. Even in nice venues with great sound the band can be turned up so loud everything seems muffled too me.
I've always been told a good way to maximize your experience is to wear ear plugs. Never personally done it, but I like the idea.

It's a great experience. It's $40 extra, so I wouldn't have done it when I was younger, but now that I'm a boring old Dad who rarely gets out to shows I always spring for better seats, or the better experience in this case. It's also a great ice breaker to chat up some hot chicks at the show, if that's your thing. Sharing the headphones for a song is a boss move.

Saw Courtney Barnett @ The Chicago Cultural Center's Preston Bradley Hall last night. I've lived in Chicago my whole life and have never seen a rock show inside the Chicago Cultural Center. The building is crazy; built in 1897 it's all marble, wood and brass with mosaic covering the walls and floors. The kind of place you could dose and spend the day getting lost in the detail. The hall where she played has a 40 foot wide Tiffany stained glass dome in the middle of it and the acoustics were great. There was only a couple hundred people there and plenty of room. Great venue for a show.
Courtney was great. She played her new album in it's entirety then played about 8 of her older tunes like Avant Gardener, Elevator Operator, Pedestrian at Best and Depreston. Depreston is one of my favorite songs by any artist. Kind of Waterloo Sunset territory for me. Glad to see it live again.
I was a huge fan of PJ Harvey in the 90's, and Courtney is everything that I loved about that era of PJ's music. She just plays great guitar rock. Really reminds me a lot of Cobain's playing; not a great guitarist per se but she shreds. The new album is solid and she puts on a good rock show.

Caught Joe Bonamassa (Easton, PA) and Steven Wilson (NYC, always a freakin' trip!) last month.
Coming up:
Journey/Def Leppard in Philly with my wife. Neither of us have ever seen Journey and DL is one of her favorites.
Kenny Wayne Shepherd w/Beth Hart in Asbury Park, NJ. I don't know anything about KWS but really wanted to see Beth Hart.

Dead and Co in lovely Camden tomorrow. Venue actually not bad (typical summer shed) but don't take a wrong turn. Not my bag, but the girlfriend is old school Deadhead who says Mayer is the closest anyone has come to replicating Jerry's playing. Me, wouldn't be able to tell if he couldn't.
Should be entertaining sightseeing as well...

Funny you mention Beth Hart. I barely remember seeing her well over a decade ago but I do remember thinking this chick is going places. I haven't followed her at all, should I re-aquaint myself?

I'm not a die-hard fan, but I know she had to clean her self up and has come back with a new outlook. She's kind of a modern day Janice Joplin. I know of her from her work with Joe Bonamassa.
Check her out on Spotify.

I've been going through his catalog to familiarize myself. I like it, but he seems to border on country-rock quite a bit. I'm sure the show will be great though. I also really like the venue, so that was plus in deciding to go.

Mayer is entirely different than Jerry, but still awesome. Have a toke and have fun.

Camden’s shed has awesome sound (except when Brad Paisley plays there) and an even better craft beer game, if that’s your thing.

Paul Simon's farewell tour last night in Dallas. Can't believe how great he will sounds and how energetic this 76 year old is. He and his 14 race band played for over 2 straight hours non stop. Every one of them a multi instrumentalist. As good as I've ever seen him. Hope he keeps making music (he said he plans to)...

Saw David Byrne's "American Utopia" tour Friday night, the first of three sold-out Chicago shows. An absolute inspiration.
Please, if you have the opportunity to see this tour, go see it. I've been going to his shows since '97, and I've never seen him achieve something so ambitious. I never got to see the Stop Making Sense tour live, but I've seen the film on the big screen, owned it on multiple formats, etc.--and this tour is up there with that.

Saw them in Hershey over Memorial Day weekend. DL opened and had a great set. Journey was plagued with sound issues and what seemed like endless guitar, drum, and piano solos that took the audience out of the show. Which was disappointing since Journey was my favorite band of my youth.
Hopefully they have worked out some of the kinks since the Hershey Show.

Yep . . . same band, basic concept, but with control of the lighting/staging, choreography, etc. Like nothing he could do during an afternoon/daylight set.

Prices dropped for depeche mode in philly.
Glad I waited.
Will be pulling the trigger in a few. Paid off to wait this time.

We saw Johnny Marr last night. He's playing a few US dates in advance of his new record out this month. He'll be back with a longer tour in Sept-Oct.
He's a decent frontman for a guy who became famous as a sideman for Morrissey. The Smiths songs understandably still get the biggest crowd response (along with one Electronic cover) but his solo stuff fits in well. His setlist had a lot of songs from his upcominng album.

Lost my "value" when my 9 year old son said he now wanted to come. Buying 3 tix made it a challenge and raised the price a good deal.comfortably numb said:
Still worth it. Very fun show again. Hearr a few songs i never heard live before.
Was a long nite as we got home after midnight and kids were somewhat disinterested and waiting for the 2 or 3 songs they know....but came home today and my son was singing "the grabbing hands grab all they can....everything counts in large amounts"
Mission accomplished
