Chaos Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 (edited) We are about to swing into spring and summer concert season along with summer festival season. This thread started years ago over my excitement over Bonnaroo and was basically just a festival announcement thread. I don't foresee making the farm this year (I do wish I had snagged tickets to Railbird), but I at the moment have a fun schedule (busiest one maybe ever) on the docket with some other ones on the horizon. My shows lately have been either Jam focused or big acts I've yet to see in person. Upcoming shows for me (card subject to change): Umphrey's McGee - Pensacola, FL Billy Strings - Mobile, AL (Night 2) Lukas Nelson & POTR - Destin, FL Shovels and Rope - Dothan, AL The Revivalists - Atlanta Foo Fighters - Birmingham Swell Season - Nashville (Mother Church). I also am hoping to catch Tyler Childers, a date of Dead & Company's final tour, Goose, or Phish along with whatever else pops up that seems doable.

June 3rd @Wind Creek Event Centre in Bethlehem, PA - Puscifer Thought I really, really hope to add to this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southofheavy Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Enslaved is coming through Detroit in April, and I ain't missing that. Haven't seen them yet. Botch in Chicago in October. I'm probably gonna end up seeing Metallica at Ford Field. My good friend's wife works for Live Nation and is more than likely working that tour. REEEEAAALLLLY wanna go to Metal Threat Fest in April. Ved Buens Ende and Dead Congregation are playing Thursday and Friday, respectively. I am unemployed right now, though, so it ain't looking good. We'll see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLowe Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 I saw Springsteen a couple of weeks ago, my first time. He was great. Only other thing I currently have on the calendar is Taylor Swift in Houston, because my wife got 2 tickets and wants me to go with her. But she's also considering selling them and maybe we'll go to Punk in Drublic Fest in Austin. South by Southwest is coming up but being 51 and not listening to new music much, I don't know if I'll make any effort to go to day shows. I'm still having a hard time paying $25+ for shows, and triple digits for some of the huge reunion shows. For all the shit Taylor Swift got, she had lots of $50 and $70 tickets to her Houston show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An old friend of mine is definitely going to at least one day of the fest and I'm gonna catch a ride with him if I can. I'm not a fan of fests (too many bands, too many people) but the death metal day and the death thrash final day are VERY appealing. It'll suck missing Imp Naz but I'm not a huge fan of most of the black metal day bands except for the awesome Slutvomit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contentious C Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 (edited) So Dave Grohl decided to open a new venue in DC that's supposed to be a reconstruction of the original 9:30 Club. In doing so, he decided to keep the first few months of its shows in a lottery, but the lineup is pretty ridiculous. https://theatlantis.com/ You should probably check it out for yourself if you're interested. But the tickets are by request only and for the most part can't be resold, except to just get your money back, more or less, thereby cutting out the third-party fuckfaces who try to scalp these tickets for tons more than face value (BTW, when did scalping become legal?). So you put in your requests by the end of the week and take your chances to see what you may or may not get. I signed up for Foo & Pixies (obvi), X, Living Colour, Jenny Lewis, Drive-By Truckers, and Joan Jett. Guess I'll see if any of them hit.

odessasteps Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Think this is from the same tour we saw in Indianapolis around same time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Log Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Wife and I have tickets for Fleet Foxes here in Louisville in June. Then, we're going to try to see The Hold Steady at a free waterfront show in July and catch The Mountain Goats the next night. The big ones, though, come later in the year. For my son's sixth birthday, we surprised him with tickets to Guns N Roses in September in Lexington and KISS in Indy on Thanksgiving weekend. Once he saw the tickets and realized what was happening, he said, "This is my dream." I can't wait to see him rocking out at those shows. He's so excited. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was wonderful! Yeah, I hate I'm not able to catch any of this tour. I've enjoyed listening to it on nugs. I watched some YouTube videos of the end of night 3. I might try to stream the San Fran shows if I don't head out for Phish in Atlanta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contentious C Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 (edited) Currently sitting in the Anthem, about to watch The Swell Season for the second year in a row. Last year's show was pretty awesome, so here's hoping for another round of the same... Yeah, pretty nifty show. They closed the last little encore with a cover of "Buzzin' Fly" by Tim Buckley, and I thought, "Oh shit, Glen's gonna find a way to work this back to a Jeff Buckley song, isn't he?" And he did! Jammed for a bit and then bridged into the whole first verse of "Grace" before going back to Tim's song with a pretty awesome bunch of distortion pedal work. And they're working on a new album, so hooray! Edited August 16, 2023 by Contentious C 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twiztor Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 the other day i picked up tickets for this: show's not until October, but i expect to have a stupid good time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zendragon Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Got to See Mark Farmer of Grand Funk and Blue Oyster Cult. Cool to check another classic rock legend off the list while he's still playing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Mark never played in BOC according to Wikipedia. It'd be great to see him live though. I read an article recently where he said the other two guys in Grand Funk ripped him off and have refused to play with him for years, even though he'd desperately like to reform. Since he's playing with different guys I wonder if the bass is as nuclear as it is on those early records? The self-titled red album has the loudest I've heard that wasn't on a reggae or hip hop record. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XO-KLQChID8&ab_channel=GrandFunkRailroad-Topic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zendragon Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 No he played his set and the BOC played, second time seeing BOC. Some kind of wonderful was all bass no guitar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Oooookay, I get it, just misread. I've seen BOC two, I almost wanna say three times but I honestly can't remember. The first time I was like 18 years old at a state fair. The second time I was in my 20s at a state fair! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zendragon Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Yhea I saw them at a swap meet saturday which is either slightly above or below a state fair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Never been to one, but I'd think WAY below. To their credit, BOC are total Road Warriors, ever since 1967. Think about that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zendragon Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 Went to see Coven with Lucifer last night both bands where great. Jinx seems to have gotten eternal youth from the devil. In a couple weeks going to see George Clinton! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 I saw the P-Funk All Stars live outdoors at the local Sweetcorn Festival one years. There were groups of people line dancing like it was Soul Train. When me and my friend walked up, they were right in the middle of the solo to "Maggot Brain". One of the best shows I've ever seen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
