I listened to night 1 & it was pretty good albeit a bit short. I can't go this tour due to health & finances.

I saw them in a club last year & they were fantastic. The brothers have a great band backing them up & tons of good material.

So did everyone who went enjoy the Cure shows? I'm hoping that it won't be 7 years this time until I can see them again. Maybe another tour when the alleged new record actually comes out?

Quite good with excellent soundtrack. I couldn't sleep so I just binged half the new season. A certain band we all like is featured & lots of Replacements as a cherry on top.

No

We had the same situation last summer & it lasted a long time. I followed NIN through Oregon ending up in Bend on the other side of the mountains. When I was driving home once I got over the mountains it was Blade Runner all of the sudden. We've got a little this year but nothing seerious (yet).

I got decent ADA seats for Seattle night 2. $40 before Ticketmaster magic.

I was 1 day early. The Vancouver show ended with 10:15 Saturday Night/Killing an Arab. D'oh!

Well, here I am in recovery mode. Pretty good show, 2 hours 45 minutes on the button. TBH I thought they were better in 2016. That's not saying they were bad this time. I saw an epic show in Portland (Ridgefield) in 2016 that would be hard to top. Part of the issue was a sort of lame Seattle crowd which happens a fair amount. Let's call them second encore people. For instance there were no woah, woahs in Push & very few hands in the sky during FTEOTDGS. For the most part I still can't understand Robert when he talks but he's very clear when he's singing. His voice was great. He must be tak

How was your Crowded House show? I'm getting ready for the Cure tonight!

I haven't seen that one floating around yet. Lot of the California shows have been covered but have only seen 1 or 2 from the first part of the tour. The one I put up here the tape is unreal good.

The Cure countdown is on! 1 week!

Truly a legend. https://www.cnn.com/entertainment/live-news/singer-tina-turner-death-news/index.html

Hoodoo Gurus were great. I almost didn't go as I wasn't feeling too great & couldn't find anyone to go. It was a small theater show, pretty much sold out. No opener. They came out & did a solid hour & 45 minute set. 25 songs, many of them audience requests. It was nice going to a show & getting home before 11. Such a great band, criminally overlooked. It's rough for the Aussie bands. & they were LOUD! My ears are still ringing a little 2 days later. I've heard the newer material but not a real lot. It all fit right in with the classics. Tour's almost over. The band has bee

How was the show? The setlist looked excellent.

Nice! I have to wait until June 1 for my show. All indications are that it will be a good one.

I was just writing it up. I was too tired yesterday as I had to get up early yesterday for a doctor appointment after getting home at midnight. The show was pretty good. I've seen them better but I chalk that up to it being night 2 of the tour & they didn't quite have the groove on. The new members were excellent with Liam Finn doing an entertaining solo opening set. Show was 2 hours on the button. Here's the setlist from setlist.fm. It looks like they're changing things nightly. PS: I go back with them to the first US tour. Orgia da Malena (Ennio Morricone song)
