Live shows in your agenda?

[Pandemonium]

If i had a choice of listening to a Mac song it would always be a Buckingham or Nicks number.

It's no dig on Christine though... just a stupid personal preference!

I have a strong liking for some of the Bob Welch era tunes. "Hypnotized" is up in my top 5 FM songs.

[SR]

Yes, he was clearly suffering from fatigue almost from the get go, obvious difficulty getting around his set, so the backup was working his toms in support mainly. I mean, I get it....the guy is pushing 70 and his lifestyle has not been geared towards good health in his twilight. What really bothered me was that he acknowledged all the two other players on keys and rhythm guitar SO ceremoniously.


And yeah, I love Hypnotized.....they did play world turning....old tune reminiscent of the era

Everclear, Live, Filter, and Sponge, TONIGHT!

Getting my 90s on, yo!

Sponge - there's a band I haven't heard anything from in years. I liked the one song "Plowed" a lot when their first album came out but they dropped off my radar after that.

I just saw today that Simple Minds is doing an all hits tour. I think I'm going to get tickets. (If anyone wants to bug me about it, I will be okay. I promise not to blow a gasket. ). I saw Simple Minds and China Crisis back in the 80s. They were both great!

Also, Patti Smith has a show here in September. I'd like to go but I have tickets for another show the same night!

Tonight OMD!

[farrellgirl99]

bought tickets to see yeah yeah yeahs in brooklyn. too bad its an arena show and their new album sucks. i just want to see them again though

[Hype]

Everclear, Live, Filter, and Sponge, TONIGHT!

Getting my 90s on, yo!

It sounds like you're going to get drunk, survive a car accident, smoke a cigarette, and then have a bath...

Tonight OMD!

Unfortunately, the show was cut short. The drummer has had a couple of heart attacks in the past, and the sweltering heat of the venue caused him to feel ill.
The 13 songs we got were EXCELLENT! The band sounded fantastic! Andy's 54 year old voice still sounds great, almost the same actually. The crowd was really into it dancing and singing along.

Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark announced it will cancel the remainder of its North American tour — concerts that had been planned for Detroit, Minneapolis and Chicago over the next five days — after drummer Malcolm Holmes suffered a medical emergency that forced the band to cut short tonight’s show at Toronto’s Danforth Music Hall.

According to fan accounts posted on OMD’s Facebook page, about 90 minutes into the show, frontman Andy McCluskey announced that Holmes could no longer play, and therefore the band couldn’t finish the show in what was described as a sweltering club.

McCluskey later announced on the OMD website’s forum that Holmes “is going to be OK,” but that the band would have to cancel the last three concerts of North American tour, which began earlier this month at the same venue in Toronto. He did not elaborate on Holmes’ medical issues.

His full message:

Malcolm is going to be OK.. he had to go to hospital. Martin went with him to keep us posted. But At this moment I have heard that he is doing OK but needs to be checked over.

I cannot say any more at this time.

However, all the remaining USA concerts.. Detroit, Minneapolis and Chicago are going to have to be cancelled.

We are sorry but Malcolm is too important and we cannot put his health in further jeopardy..

There will be further updates.

Still ridiculously stoked at seeing Beck play an acoustic show in Cambridge (UK) a couple of Saturday's back. I used to idolise that guy and catch every single tour (i saw his 1st ever UK show... proper fanboy) but i'd seriously wobbled the past 6-7 years or so. Anyway, an acoustic show on my doorstep couldn't be ignored and along i went. Awesome, awesome show... songs like Rowboat, Mighty Good Leader and Its All In Your Mind don't always get outings, so to get all 3 was pretty magic.

I'm close to being a fanboy again.

Neutral Milk Hotel 1/27/14!!!. Even though I just paid double on stub hub because it sold out by 12:01 today and it's at Webster Hall, I'm still beyond stoked.

I'm also seeing FlagIIII on 9/19. I accidentally bought VIP tickets for 50 bucks. Regular tickets are 30. VIP lets you cut the line to get in at Irving Plaza....woohoo. I'm having no luck lately with my ticket purchases.

[perkana]

[Juana]

Not sure what to expect but what the fuck its free right? Might as well

[perkana]

Tickets went on sale today finally

This is a show I would like to check out:

Jack White, Patti Smith and Gillian Welch are among the artists playing a benefit concert in New York, produced by the Coen Brothers and T Bone Burnett.
The event - Another Day, Another Time: Celebrating The Music Of Inside Llewyn Davis - will take place at The Town Hall in New York City on Sunday, September 29, 2013.
It is inspired by Inside Llewyn Davis, the Coen's upcoming film set in the 1960s Greenwich Village folk music scene.
A portion of the proceeds from the concert will benefit the National Recording Preservation Foundation.
The concert will feature live performances of the film’s music, as well as songs from the early 1960s that inspired the film. Artists performing at the concert include The Avett Brothers, Joan Baez, Rhiannon Giddens of Carolina Chocolate Drops, Lake Street Dive, Colin Meloy of The Decemberists, Milk Carton Kids, Marcus Mumford, Conor Oberst, Punch Brothers, Secret Sisters, Patti Smith, Gillian Welch & Dave Rawlings, Willie Watson, and Jack White.
Stars of the film will also perform at the event, including Oscar Isaac (who plays the title role in the film), Carey Mulligan, John Goodman and Stark Sands.
Tickets to the concert will go on sale to the general public on Wednesday, August 21, 2013 at 12:00 PM EDT at Ticketmaster.com.
Nonesuch Records releases the soundtrack to Inside Llewyn Davis on Monday, November 11, 2013; the film will open in the UK in January 2013.

Oh sweet christ yes, Deltron 3030 is playing DC and Philadelphia days before the first of the NIN shows I am attending:

With a 16-piece orchestra? Are you serious?? I am definitely checking out one or both.

i'm very late to this thread but i've got to defend steve miller. the guy never stopped being just what he is. crowd pleasing, terrific guitar playing dude with zero ego and the true spirit of the blues lover he is. unlike so many, the business has been great to him, in that that string of hits from the late 70s has kept him successful on the tour circuit. but the guy keeps putting out records, plays them for an appreciative crowd in nice theaters during the winter, and then does the greatest hits in sheds in the summer. i'd wager 95% or more of the artists who are still playing decades after they began could learn a lot from this guy. plus he's an old wisconsin liberal.
a friend of mine used to hang around with ben sidran, who went to college with steve miller and jeff greenfield from cnn, and who wrote space cowboy with him. one summer long ago, when classic rock radio was huge and miller was still big enough to headline sheds, we were hanging around backstage with ben and steve at (i think) jones beach, and someone asked steve who was opening the show. steve said 'just wait'. we took our seats and it turned out that he 'opened' his own show, with no intro, fronting a trio, just playing old blues tunes. he's not exactly a recognizable face and he was just wearing jeans and a tee shirt. he came out with no intro and just started playing. as if on cue, a kid of no more than 20 sitting in front of us saw our passes and struck up a conversation, telling us that steve miller was his all time favorite and asking us, in pretty much the same breath, who this guy was up on stage.

It'll be a stoner and drunk fest too.

We had fun. Except for all the old people sitting in their chairs the entire time. Show the artists some appreciation dammit! Gorgeous night in the city and although the sound was echoing all over the place, damn if steve miller doesn't still sound exactly like he does on an album that came out 40 years ago.

[tubro]

my SG is and will always be set up peter green style. but that's a different time and band - just happen to have the same name, sort of like king crimson with greg lake and king crimson with adrian belew. i'll always have a soft spot for the buckingham/nicks era -- its genius pop and its era defining music -- and i'll always celebrate the genius of 'tusk'* but i'll never see them w/o christine. her voice makes it for me. i'd see buckingham any time though, except in an arena with this tired old band. love that guy and i'm sure he earns his pay in these shows. john probably does too. obviously mack is toast. stevie's been a goner for years.

* if you've never heard camper van beethoven's version of 'tusk' (the entire album) you're missing something great.

If i had a choice of listening to a Mac song it would always be a Buckingham or Nicks number.

It's no dig on Christine though... just a stupid personal preference!

I'm really looking forward to seeing The Mission on 09/06. I mean...MIssion UK as they are known in North America.

I came real close to grabbing a 3rd row Orchestra ticket for Black Sabbath in Irvine tomorrow. About 5pm today, Ticketmaster dumped a bunch of great seats but I just couldn't justify $162 to see and hear Ozzy croak his way through the classics and a couple new tunes that aren't even the best songs off the new album (they dropped Methademic weeks ago).

[Matz]

162? that's steep. Sounds like Danish prices. I thought you rarely had to pay that much for a ticket in the states

[farrellgirl99]

just got a QOTSA ticket

but at fucking barclays again. everyone just plays brooklyn now, it sucks

[Pandemonium]

For arena and major shed (outdoor 15K+ seat) venues, around $100 - $170 right outta Ticketmaster is typical for reserved seating in the best floor and loge sections for most big name bands here in the US. Thank God most bands I still have an interest in seeing play theaters and clubs where it's general admission and usually runs about $50 a pop. It's like the concert industry is some sort of bizarro world where the larger the venue and shittier the view and sound is, the more tickets cost.

Stevie "Guitar" Miller is a good guy and a great guitar player... but don't fool yourself by saying he has no ego. I've worked for him on many occasions; he is a very driven man and while unquestionably grateful for what he has, he is not shy about letting folks know what he is due.

The biggest thing for him, as I remember, is that whole Bohemian Grove secret society thing. Virtually all his close friends are members and most of his social life revolves around it.

I take it he's a Republican?

In November we'll have a double feature: Mondo Cane + Ennio Morricone (feat. Patton for a couple of songs).

Apparently, it'll be really expensive, so I might not go. But kinda cool, still.
