i hope they partner w/ Smuttynose again... i've got a friend who works sales for them and he was there last time... free beer hookup all weekend long!

overlap of the two band's audience.

worst conceived tour of all time... Thinking Fellers Union Local 282 opening for Live.

two real concerns of mine.... i can't find the attribution, but a sizable chunk of people get their news from Facebook. and we all know how well those stories are vetted. also, the slowly decaying institution that is print media is also the best one to read longform, critical pieces. yeah, you can put them up on the web too, but no one wants to pay for a web subscription and a lot of people (including me) use web ad blockers. not a good situation to pay journalists a decent wage. so the infowars and breitbarts and more odious sites fuel the thoughts and beliefs of the right, and i see that

ugh. i hope this guy isn't right, but i have a sneaking suspicion he will be. https://twitter.com/i/moments/808169181694849024

Spare us the cutter.

Echo and the Benmonts is my favorite new wave band.

Heard The Bongo's "Mambo Sun" long before T Rex's.

take a look at those tour dates... now think about when Newport Folk Fest is...

heard the Siouxsie and the Banshees version of "The Passenger" before Iggy's. and Bowie's "China Girl" before Iggy's (likely already mentioned).

Blake Babies' version of "Loose" before the Stooges. also, for a while i didn't realize that Whiskey in the Jar was a traditional Irish tune; thought it was a Thin Lizzy song.

am i getting old or did we already have this thread? edit - Not losing my memory yet! http://viachicago.org/topic/51849-10-best-concerts-youve-ever-seen/page-2?do=findComment&comment=1594237

way, way, way too hard to narrow to a single show. narrowing down to, say 20, would be a difficult challenge.

hardest part about SSF is finding a place to stay (if you aren't camping).

i heard Camper Van Beethoven do Hava Nagila before anyone else. hey, i'm not Jewish!

4K is pretty damn big... i don't think there's a non-sports arena in Boston that is that capacity (Boch nee Wang Center is 3600).

i never knew they covered this... i was a huge fan of _Group Sex_ and to a lesser extent _Wild In The Streets_ when i was in high school.

Does Lord Huron have that sort of draw? I would say that most of the direct support acts are definitely under a 4K draw... Neko Case, Levon Helm (RIP), Real Estate, Syl Johnson, Mavis Staples, The Relatives, Os Mutantes, etc. maybe Mac Demarco can, i dunno.

yeah i remember that tattoo. when i saw him, he had Victor rat traps hanging from each ear lobe. not mouse traps, these things were big. and there was a chicken head/neck drawn via sharpie coming out of his pants, up his lower torso.

hey Todd, have you heard Sage's 1st solo LP, Straight Ahead? it's pretty freakin good.

hahaha, this is so true:

hah, Mark Prindle. I'm facebook friends w/ him. he's pretty funny.
