username Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 Last Sunday I saw Steel Panther. Fun show, but their (pretty rehearsed) bad sex joke banter in between song goes on way too long. It takes the tempo out of the show. A few times it was kinda obvious they were using a backup/backing tape. Sometimes the screams went on while the singer was already moving his mic away. I read they've admitted to this in the past because they feel it makes for a better show. And I know they're as much a comedy act as a musical one, but it's still pretty lame.

username Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Last night I saw Springsteen in Nijmegen. He's still amazing, but noticably getting older and his voice isn't as powerful as it used to be. But that's nitpicking, still gives shows that are way more than anybody can reasonably expect from him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAU3R Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 (edited) Went to Horsens on Wednesday to see The War On Drugs. 8-hour drive each way but totally worth it! Beautiful danish city and TWOD were amazing as usual. Killer setlist and great venue as well! Edited July 20 by SAU3R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goneshootin Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 So far this year: Judas Priest (Newark NJ - April) - great energy for an older band AC/DC (Seville Spain - May and June - 2 shows) - my favorite band. Glad to see them getting a final run Hootie & the Blowfish (Fenway Park - June) - took the Mrs, wasn't expecting to enjoy as much as I did, good 90s nostalgia Foo Fighters (Citi Field NYC - July) - show got cut short halfway through due to lightning, but a fun time up until then) Coming up: Green Day / Smashing Pumpkins (Citi Field NYC - Tomorrow) - looking forward to Green Day playing all of Dookie. Saw pumpkins last year and found them incredibly boring, hoping for a better show. Pearl Jam (MSG - September) - always put on a solid live show and seem to get amped up for the Garden shows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZoSoRose Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 Jack White played a small venue show in Detroit, last night. Didn’t get in but got to hear some of it and met him for a second so that was fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAU3R Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 Unless I get tickets for anything else, my concert summer ended with AC/DC on Sunday. I’ve seen Slash, Dave Matthews Band, War on Drugs and AC/DC twice. Especially AC/DC exceeded all my expectations and TWOD were awesome as well. Hope to catch them again next year 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luciusfunk Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 I'm not gonna be able to make it to Smashing Pumpkins and Green Day in Arlington in September. I've got three tickets on sale through Ticketmaster if anyone's interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted August 21 Author Share Posted August 21 September 29 Falling in Reverse Black veil Brides I've seen both these bands in concerts and they rock hard. Just got into FIR and I love them. BVB are always awesome. Should be a great show. Wish it was indoors though. It's hot as hell here in Texas.

username Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 I just added some new shows. First of all the Mrs got tickets for an artists I don't know called Cara Rose. So apparently I'm seeing that. In much better news I've bought tickets for Here's The Thing festival to still see Kid Kapichi, who's show I missed back in april due to being sick. On top of that the guys from Alestorm announced a show in my home city, which is just a no-brainer because they're brilliant. So now my 2024/2025 looks like: 2024-02-03 - DeWolff, Mooon @ EM2, Groningen 2024-03-10 - K3 @ Martiniplaza, Groningen 2024-04-19 - Kid Kapichi @ Melkweg, Amsterdam SICK 2024-05-22 - The Black Crowes @ AFAS Live, Amsterdam 2024-06-19 - Green Day, The Hives, The Interrupters @ Gelredome, Arnhem 2024-06-23 - Steel Panther @ Oosterpoort, Groningen 2024-06-27 - Bruce Springsteen & The E-Street Band @ Goffertpark, Nijmegen ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2024-08-28 - Mdou Moctar @ Paradiso, Amsterdam 2024-08-31 - The Teskey Brothers @ Ziggo Dome, Amsterdam 2024-10-12 - Kid Kapichi @ Here's The Thing Festival, 013, Tilburg 2024-11-07 - Cara Rose @ Lutherse Kerk, Groningen 2024-11-11 - Jason Isbell And The 400 Unit @ Ooterpoort, Groningen 2025-01-09 - Alestorm, Ensiferum, Tyr, Heidevolk, Elvenking @ Paganfest, Oosterpoort, Groningen On a side-note I'm seeing Mdou Moctar and the Teskey Brothers next week. Super excited about both! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He came to Dallas a few years ago and we had bad storms and the electric went out. Some fans still went out to meet him. The roads here in Dallas flowed alot, so i stayed home.

Big shoutout to @ZoSoRose for introducing me to him. Had an absolutely awesome time. Also, is it normal that there's a moshpit at these guys gigs? Because there was! Depending on the song it was sometimes moshing and sometimes actual dancing. But it was definitely crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drakestar Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 I’ve, seen Noah Kahan twice (with my daughter), the Grand Ole Opry, Billy Idol, Platinum Blonde (opened for Idol), The Cult and am taking my daughter to see Rainbow Kitten Surprise in a couple weeks, I’ m sitting outside the venue for that one, essentially the driver. I just can’t support such a thing. Hoping it gets cancelled. Might slide something else in, not sure yet. All in all, a good, fun concert year.

rocknroll41 Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 (edited) Just saw Weezer’s “blue planet” show. It was great! I don’t think I’ve ever heard more crowd-singing than at that show. It was sold out too. Didn’t think Weezer were that big, tbh. Dinosaur Jr and Flaming Lips were the opening acts. I liked the former, but not the latter.

ZoSoRose Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 (edited) Saw Tommy Stinson at a record shop, this weekend. Complete coincidence and a nice surprise! Saw Sting on his Sting 3.0 tour in a theater, last night. It was spectacular! Missed Judas Priest, again (saw Sting the same night so I can't complain), so I feel like I am destined to always be busy when they come Edited September 18 by ZoSoRose 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 Man, came back from the Monster Magnet show here in Paris. They started one song - paused, because Dave, the singer, said he had a sore throat - then skipped the song, went to the second one, and he stuck to the lower notes while Phil, lead guitar, sang hw higher notes. Then played a 15 min version of one of their mellower tracks, and left the stage "sorry, my voice is too beat. Goodbye". Fuck this, man… what a bummer. One of my favourite bands of all time, and this happens. Shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
