Anyone have any idea what time they're set to actually play in Denton, and if there is an opener?

"Wolf Like Me" (TV On the Radio)

Those two quotes are a looooooooooong way from what I would call a "personal attack."

What blatant self promotion! Remove the post! Off with his head!

I thought the idea and original post were great. I find it absurd it was removed. The intention couldn't have been more clear or innocent. There were no links, you weren't asking for any money and nothing was being sold.

Also snagged pit in Houston. Probably going to get a pair for Cain's too but we'll see.

It flat out wasn't showing up for me, but I kept refreshing and I got row Y on the main floor left center stage.

Anyone else unable to find any tickets for the Denton show at UNT?

Local H

Band of Horses for Best Alternative Music album is ridiculous. There are a thousand albums better than that one, most notably High Violet, which received no nominations.

 

Why is there such a difference between the Oscars and the Grammys as far as identifying quality art? Katy Perry for Album of the Year is like nominating Transformers 2 for Best Picture. There is not a mainstream music awards show that one can even begin to take seriously.

I agree with you. And High Violet is my album of the year.

But, I loved that Band of Horses disc. I really don't think it being nominated is a travesty or anything.

Local H, 7 shows in 7 days.

Local H - Here Comes the Zoo

Wilco - YHF

My Morning Jacket - It Still Moves

Stones - Sticky Fingers

Beck - Sea Change

Local H. I won't say I like them more, but I like them just as much, for entirely different reasons.

 

Great Lake Swimmers at Hailey's, Denton, TX

 

I was there for that! Pretty high up there for me too.

As for my favorite, gotta go with Local H at Emo's in Austin.

Caught my 18th Local H gig tonight. Saw them in OKC, Austin and Dallas over the weekend. Stellar as usual. Still the best two man gig currently working in rock for my dollar. Great times all round. High energy shows as usual with great sets that don't ignore any part of their career. They have several IL dates coming up, check em out if you're close.

Really solid openers, Kinch. Worth Googling. They had the wall followers and stragglers up front and center by the time they were done. Really impressed.

Discussion about this going on in the other thread already if interested.

I didn't notice any sound problem, but maybe I just don't have an ear for that sort of thing. I was from out of town too (DFW) but it was really pretty much a straight shot down 35 for me. I liked the parking, lot was new, and quick to get out. I don't think I waited more than 5 minutes. All concessions prices were pretty out there, but I don't drink, so it didn't really bother me like it did some others.

Probably my overall second favorite. I think I liked Palladium 2007 hair better. Probably due to company, the fact that we were closer, and getting to hear On and On and On were nice perks for me personally. Loved hearing Kamera/Cars Can't Escape though. I dunno, coin flip.

Just curious, have you seen them before?

For the sixth time tonight, why?

I'm not sure why so many hated the venue. I thought it was easy to get in and out of and sounded just fine. What was the big deal, beyond the beer prices anyway.

I hope you were paying attention to Jeff's rant tonight (in Dallas)...

 

I think he's tired with internet whiners

To be honest I don't really care what Jeff Tweedy is or is not tired of. I'm tired of ITMWLY, but I expect it when I go to a show, just like he should expect some criticism in a forum dedicated to talking about each show. People around here throw just as much high praise his way as criticism. The purpose of this subforum is to discuss the shows and the sets, and I would find it pretty boring if no one ever said anything but OH MAN BEST SHOW/SET EVER HIGH FIVE. You said the same setlist only matters if you see every show. The point stands that if you see two back to back, and they have the same set, it would matter to you. I was simply agreeing with someone up there that, when you are attending multiple shows, you like it when they mix it up a bit more.

We're obviously attending multiple dates, we love this band and their shows, it was a simple comment. We're hardly crying into our pillows over here. And it was a great show tonight, with a great set shuffle.

The same setlist only matters if you see every show.

Actually it matters if you see more than one.
