Defqon.1 - The Netherlands, Almere strand

Was going to see Megadeth in Norfolk. Shit is sold out.

[FeedMeAStrayCat]

I've seen Lewis Black at the Hershey Theater in PA this year. That was pretty great. I'd love to go to some others, most notably Conan and especially Craig Ferguson, but with my wife's current medical condition, concerts/shows are pretty much out of the question for now.

Saw Kayo Dot perform their first and best album in its entirety last month. There are very few shows that will probably ever be able to top that for me. I also saw Harvey Milk and Coalesce the other night — first time I'd ever seen Coalesce even though I've been into them for over ten years. Great show.

Coming up:

4/7: High on Fire, Black Cobra
4/10: Pissed Jeans, Confines
4/11: Kayo Dot

Washed Out and Toro y Moi? I'm jealous. I hate 21+ shows.

 

[ili0926]

3/29 Spoon (Toronto)

 

[swoon]

Washed Out and Toro y Moi? I'm jealous. I hate 21+ shows.

if you happened to be in north carolina these shows are all ages.

also what size venues does mono place elsewhere? last two two times down here they played local 506 which is a pretty small bar/venue. this year they are playing a recording studio ?

 

[LastActionHero]

Only one planned so far (because I won the tickets already) - Megadeth/Slayer/Testament in August. Might be going with my little brother to see Third Eye Blind in a few weeks.

[Ra\/en]

I'm seeing Muse with the SSPU on April 1. I'm pretty excited, as I've heard that Muse is fantastic live.

 

[swoon]

it's annoying that tallest man... is mostly playing colleges this time, it's such a pain to navigate the mess of pages to buy tickets at any college venue.

when we saw him at the casbah in san deigo last year he didn't seem happy to be playing next to the bar, maybe that fuel this weird desire to act like he was a world-beat band.

 

[Buttonbasher]

05/21/10 - Greg Laswell at the Rumba Cafe

I saw him there last summer, and I loved it. Amazing show, and the venue was small so the concert was intimate. Definitely one of the best shows I've been to. I took this picture of him while I was there:

Here's an example of his kind of music:

[fredrancour]

Muse last saturday
Maiden/Dream Theater in June

All I know of.

 

[Corwood Rep]

Seeing Pinetop Perkins and what's left of the Howlin' Wolf/Muddy Waters band next month. It's like an "original black blues guys who somehow aren't dead" supergroup. Pinetop was Muddy's piano player and he recently turned fucking 96.

Also seeing Conan in Sacramento in May. Awesome.

And there's always the old standbys - anybody good who's playing at McCabe's Guitar Shop (the best folk music venue in the world), X, and The Pogues.

Saw James McMurtry a couple weeks ago and it was actually one of the best concerts I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot. He was amazing, and a couple of his songs almost put me in tears after a couple Fat Tires. Of course, part of it was that he's not big enough on the west coast to play real venues, so I saw him with his band at an LA bar on the outskirts of town, with maybe 80 people. It was awesome because you could see the stage from anywhere and didn't have to lose your seat, so I could actually go get booze and not miss any of the show.

Seriously, anybody who likes Americana rock, Steve Earle or Lucinda Williams et al., he's the real deal. I've seen Lucinda and Steve Earle and he's better than both of them, and a more consistent songwriter. Levelland is a fucking amazing song.

Edit - If I'm in town, I'll probably swing by one of Norm MacDonald's annual stints at the Irvine Improv this August.

 

[AlternativeUlster]

Tomorrow Kid Congo, Sunday the Vivian Girls, and Tuesday Woods is playing in Lawrence. Probably will go see These Are Powers and Xiu Xiu later this month too.
