That’s cool, he is such a sentimental favorite of mine. If you can put in a word for me tell him 100% fun will be 30 next year tel him to tour it 😜how do you know him? 

He produced a demo for some friends. Have hung out with him at industry type functions a few times. He remembered me the last time I saw him. This is probably 20 years ago though.

Same! (see you later )

How was Matthew? I know him a little, really nice guy.

I saw Particle Kid last night in a tiny club. Really excellent. You can see why Neil Young chose Micah Nelson to be in Crazy Horse. The Particle Kid material is really good, too. I like Promise of the Real  but Particle Kid is way more my speed. The rest of the band are fine musicians.

Still my favorite Wilco record.

Eesh, I'm older than dirt!

Talk about blowing the concert budget: I put in for ten Pearl Jam shows in the fan-club lottery, and I won all ten of them. Ten shows, six cities, two countries, 27 days-- that's how I'll be spending the month of May.

I'm going to Seattle night 2 for Pearl Jam. Luckily my friend is paying for her ticket. It's the last show before they go to Europe. I go way back (prior to first record) with PJ. I can say that almost always the last show of a multi night stand is better. I'm looking forward to the new record. Loving the single. Sounds like will be real good live with that guitar solo at the end. Good luck on your trip. I used to do stuff like that in younger days. I can't physically or financially now. I did manage to go to both NIN shows in Oregon last tour. That was about the limit for me. Fantastic shows that were different from each other. If you need any pointers on Seattle, shoot me a PM.

Looking forward to it.  I've also seen The Beths twice before and loved them - might just be my favorite band right now!  Seen Liam live a few times and he always puts on a fun and energetic show - particularly when he's doing his solo thing (which I assume he will be this time).

 

I don't see a lot of love for QOTSA on this board but jeez what a terrific live band.  Josh Homme is a force of nature and has charisma in spades.

I like QOTSA plenty. I just got spoiled seeing them in small places in the old days. With exceptions, I kind of stay away from the arena/stadium shows. That being said, I got tickets in May for the Stones & Pearl Jam. Boom! There goes the concert budget for the summer basically. I did get $20 tickets for Particle Kid in April before Micah Nelson hits the road with Crazy Horse. Tiny club, more my speed. I've seen Particle Kid open for Flaming Lips & they were great. Some real fine records, too.

A good run of shows for me.

 

Last Thursday: QOTSA

Last night: Todd Rundgren

Next Friday: The Beths (Liam Finn opening)

Next Saturday: The National (Fleet Foxes opening).

 

And two consective nights of Wilco next month (March 21, 22)

Would've loved to see the Beths & Liam Finn. I've seen them twice & they were great both times. Liam Finn is interesting too.

Is there a second series now (maybe not here in the UK yet - or BBC anyway where I saw it so far)? I really enjoyed the first.

Second season started this week on MAX in the US. First 2 episodes released.

Got to hang out with him once. He was the same in real life as onstage.

I am waiting on the price to drop even more. But I do really want this set. Been listening to it via Spotify, since it was released.

Ya, sadly it's too rich for my blood. The only kind of pricey things I've got this year was the Flaming Lips Yoshimi box which was a screaming deal & the Beck, Bogert, Appice  live set. That one I cheated as my goddaughter gave me a gift certificate last Christmas that mostly covered it. 

Happy 80th birthday to Keith!

Good show but you have to keep in mind it is really about the choreography and dancing. She also gets on very late. She is playing a ton of hits which is unusual for her shows. It was entertaining but I’d say the hits were mostly from her late 80’s mid 90’s which is actually my favorite period of hers. She got on 1030 and played until 1245 🤪. If you get a good price and can get by on a little sleep the next night I say go for it. 

Thanks. We'll see how the health stuff is going. Dealing with 3 major issues, 2 old 1 new. that would  make shows tough. Getting old isn't for the meek!

They added a very last minute show at noon it went on sale for that evening at TV Eye in Queens! It was 🤩! Sorry didn’t know you were a fan 😫

Beach House played Sub Pop's 30th anniversary party & it was great. The label took over the beach about 2 miles down the road from my house & the show was free. There were multiple stages & Beach House played last.  It was pretty funny when Beach House played there was so much fog on the stage that you couldn't see the band. Very reminiscent of early Jesus & Mary Chain..

Madonna 

How was it? I heard she was performing without a band. Is that the case? I was thinking about it as my friend is way into the 80s stuff but I'm not wild about the no band concept.
