Aside from the getting to Iceland part, looks spendy.

the getting to Iceland isn't too bad on your wallet, it's the staying and eating and getting around part that does some bank account damage.

Horsegirl and Dummy tonight.

Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever were great last night. fun band to see.

Joni Mitchell played last night!

I really wish they would've stopped when Charlie died. Steve Jordan is a good drummer but he is wrong for the Stones. He doesn't swing. & Keith is losing it on guitar. His guitar signal is so processed that you really can't hear what he's actually playing. Ronnie is doing all of the heavy lifting on guitar these days. Some shows Mick actually sings, more he's shouting the whole show. Makes me sad. Maybe this tour will be it. I don't want them to embarrass themselves. Same for the Who.

The Who actually weren't too bad when i saw them recently.

the Roger Waters show was so good. highly recommended. 

my review:
https://digboston.com/fotobom-roger-waters-td-garden/

from what i read, multiple band members are sick. 

on the plus side, the Covid-canceled Circle Jerks show is on for Saturday.

in other news, Bikini Kill has postponed for the 3rd time.

the Roger Waters show was so good. highly recommended. 

will do!

Roger Waters.

I stayed for Kamikaze Palm Tree. 

 

They ROCKED. They were weird, sure, but they rocked as hard as anyone else at the entire fest. 

that was the downside of staying ~45 min away from the fest this time; i didn't catch any of the late night shows. anyone see Mess Esque? wanted to see Mick too!

thank you!

not really sure where to put this since it seemed self-gratuitous to create a new thread... my review and photos from the weekend:

Watt was the highlight for me. pure energy and having Nels on for those two covers was a mountain of cherries on top.

bummed i missed Iceage's set and Mess Essque (Mick and Helen were part of BPB's band). 

fist bumping w/ John

seeing my first non-dead/non-in a zoo porcupine

seeing so many friends and meeting new ones

i hope it returns to the June slot... Boston Calling is that same Mem Day weekend and while the lineup has been getting worse, there are still good bands that play and i would like to cover both.

i think this was the most lackluster SSF closing set i've seen yet. 

the special guests were really just limited to Byrne, and Rick and Janet from 11DD along w/ Sam Evian on guitar. now that Tweedy has a couple solo records to draw from, there are less random covers or UT songs to get played. I don't mind Love Is The King or Warm/Warmer but it does get a bit samey to me. "Love Is The King" seemed to have the most spark due to Jim's lead guitar playing. 

one of the perks of covering shows is that i don't have to buy tickets very often. Grouper (aka Liz Harris) was doing a short run of West Coast and East Coast shows and I knew from prior experience she doesn't carry a press list so i was just gonna buy a couple of tickets for last night's Portland ME show.

i went to search my emails for the tickets and the usual suspects of online ticket accounts but turned out i never actually bought them and the show sold out weeks ago. damn. 

Dry Cleaning were one of the best shows i've seen this year. so damned good. 

Dry Cleaning tonight.
