Scored some free tickets to see Stapleton and George Strait in the Superdome last weekend. Amazing show. Strait sang about 40 songs. And a Superdome full of people singing along to Tennessee Whiskey was pretty awesome too.

DK is fun. I saw them probably 5 years ago in a small venue, they were great. Being in the throng of people in front of the stage made me sore and feel OLD the next day.

Indeed! Nothing flashy, just 2 artists who just stand there and sing the hell out of everything. Also caught Little Big Town and they were great as well.
I had a chance to see George a couple of years ago in Baton Rouge, and my plans fell through. I was sick about it. Wasn't sure I'd ever make it to Vegas to get to see him. Glad they got him down to New Orleans so I could mark that one off my concert bucket list.

You did. Glad they started with the New Order set and finished with Joy Division. The crowd actually thinned out a bit at the break. That was weird. I laughed at this girl in front of me trying to Shazam a New Order song. Made me feel old.Told ya....

FGL was good not great. They sounded really good but only played for like 70 minutes.
On the plus side, the crowd was at least 75% under 25 and I can't even describe how these gals dress to go to these things. When you see one dressed "regular" she really sticks out. So glad my daughter didn't get caught up in the whole showing as much skin as possible thing.
I'm debating on seeing Luke Bryan next week, I like, don't love him but man live music is almost always a great time.

I enjoyed FGL when I saw them last year. Chris Lane and Dustin Lynch opened for them and they were both excellent. FGL was good, I just don't love most of their songs. But they're tolerable. I was hoping Nelly would make an appearance
Haven't seen Luke. Really don't like much of his new stuff. But the show should definitely be a babefest.

Thinking now that I might skip Luke and go see U2 in Philly with the family Thursday.
Has anyone seen any of their recent shows? Setlist?

Like I said, I don't love Luke but he has a few songs that I really like (Play It Again for example). Not sure why I dig that song so much but it reminds me of my wife even though that's not how we met. Weird.I enjoyed FGL when I saw them last year.

Current U2 setlist is heavy on the new album and nothing from Joshua Tree. They are giving Joshua Tree this tour off after featuring it last year.

Depends on your definition of classics--they definitely play stuff from the 80s, 90s, 00s . . . hits, deeper cuts (Acrobat--finally!
) . . . but easily 50% is from the last two albums.James Daulton

Thanks for the info. I think we're going to pass since while I don't mind hearing the new stuff we want to hear more classics.
Luke Bryan is back on!

I'd like to make a case for the U2 show: I'm not sure if you've seen them live or not, but there is no one in the industry--certainly no band--that puts on a production quite like them.
James Daulton
Footballguy
I totally get that. However, I'd be bringing my wife and two kids who are really into hearing the U2 classics so I'm not sure the money would be well spent.
I have seen them twice before.

Justin Townes Earl was fantastic last night. Just him and a guitar, he played for about an hour and a half. Played most of what I wanted to hear and had some funny talk in between songs. At one point he really went off on a tirade about the "opiod crisis". I know his history and the demons he and his family have faced so I can listen a little. Having said that I am not a fan of having entertainers preach beliefs to me. I do give this kind of preaching a little slack due to his history and maybe he helped someone who was there? It could have been worse. It could have been a Bono or Vedder spiel.
Anyway I really enjoyed the show. It was at the MIM in Phoenix https://mim.org/ . We spent the day in the museum which is a must see if you are a music/historyfan. Its a really cool set up and tons of instruments. Concerts are held in a 300 seat theater that is designed for acoustics. Its really nice.
Lydia Loveless opened and she was great to . What a set of pipes on her.

Saw Danish punks Iceage Friday night at the Great American Music Hall, one of my favorite venues in the City. It was a strange bill with Mary Lattimore opening with some exquisite solo harp with loop pedals before Iceage came on and breathed fire.
Mrs. Eephus wasn't feeling well and begged off. I'd had a ##### week at work and was more bummed out about Anthony Bourdain than I'd normally be about a celebrity death so I decided to brave it without her. For decades, our mosh pit strategy has been basically a defensive one. Mrs. Eephus positions herself at the barricade with me directly behind her. I'm much taller so I can put my arms on either side of her which offers her some protection and me an object to balance on and a butt to rub against for an hour of so.
Since I was alone this time I decided to venture into the belly of the pit for a while. Iceage doesn't have a lot of fast songs (and they're touring with a violin player this time out) but frontman Elias Ronnenfelt inspires an intense pit while playing sludgier tempos. Younger bands with younger audiences have wilder pit action than first or second wave punks so there was a steady stream of divers and people falling on the floor. I pushed and was shoved for about half their set before I let stronger members of the herd shuffle me out to the fringes. I was a bit sore on Saturday morning but Friday night was sweaty, fun and kind of life affirming. I'd snapped a few quick pictures during brief calm moments; when I checked my phone afterwards had to delete about 60 black pictures taken in my pocket while getting bashed around.

Going to the Outlaw Music Festival in Charlotte on Wednesday. It is actually a makeup show. The festival was on Memorial Weekend originally, and all artists played except Willie Nelson who was supposed to play last, but he got sick. I didn't have tickets to that show, but concert goers were told to keep their tickets and Willie would come back with some guests, and those tickets would be honored for his makeup gig. He is back Wednesday with The Avett Brothers, Jamey Johnson, and Sarah Shook & the Disarmers. I got tickets to this one, and looking forward to it.

That's a shame. He was absolutely on point in Dallas. Played for almost 2 1/2 hours straight and was highly engaged and lively. He also talked more than I've ever heard him talk in concert.

Grateful Dead channel on Sirius XM played some of their show from last night earlier today. I was surprised by that. Anyway, I've been looking at the set lists from this tour and they are doing a heck of a job mixing it up. They play at Darien Lake on Tuesday, so when we get a look at that show along with the couple previous ones, we'll have a pretty good idea of what we won't get to hear.

It's a nice outdoor venue, but you will absolutely hate getting in and out of that place.

I've heard. I am going to try to get to the lot by 4:00 and go into the venue by 6:00.
Will that work?
