LouieB Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Nice work. Mould is a huge XRT artist and has a new album out. renic and I saw him at OTS a couple years ago. I had never seen him and he was great. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PopTodd Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 I've seen him a couple of times -- both solo/acoustic -- and he is phenominal. So intense.But it's been a few years (like, 10), so I'm pretty stoked. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PopTodd Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 how do you keep winning all of these tickets? I don't know.But I bought a lottery ticket this week... just because. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest David Puddy Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 no, i mean, seriously, how do you keep winning these tickets? are you some sort of XRT member? do you enter raffles? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PopTodd Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 no, i mean, seriously, how do you keep winning these tickets? are you some sort of XRT member? do you enter raffles? I just enter online.And yeah, I am an "XRT VIP". Basically, that just gives me the right to enter into more contestes... with better odds. So I guess that helps. A lot.

PopTodd Posted August 24, 2010 Author Share Posted August 24, 2010 Today, I just won John Mellencamp tickets. Cool. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Very cool. Maybe he will perform with just one microphone. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moss Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Never been a fan but I like that he recorded the new album at Sun records, at the motel room Robert Johnson recorded in, and in the country's oldest black church. Talk about some serious mood setters. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CortezTheKiller Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Very cool. Maybe he will perform with just one microphone. LouieBMaybe he will perform the show at 2120 S. Michigan Ave. I heard he was going to sing "Our Country" and cover Seger's "Like a Rock." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PopTodd Posted November 29, 2010 Author Share Posted November 29, 2010 The Mellencamp show was Saturday. His band was excellent. And he put on pretty much exactly the show that you would expect him to: solid, if a bit uneven.Opened with "The Authority Song", which was pretty much the highlight of the evening. Put a nice little country twist on "Jack and Diane". Played for about 2.5 hours straight and did not come out for an encore, which was refreshing. The worst thing about the show was the 2 completely loaded couples behind me; spilling beer all over my back and grabbing me to hug me (nearly pulling me crashing to the floor in the process). They were nice enough people, but very very intrusively drunk. That is all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Sounds like a cool show. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wendy Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I won 2 tickets to Elvis Costello & The Imposters! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nalafej Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I am going to see Drive By Truckers tomorrow afternoon for Studio X. Has anybody been to one of these shows before? Do they last long? Are they crowded? Edit: So I went. It was a great time. DBT played at Reggies which probably holds 100-200 people. It wasn't overly crowded. Shows started pretty promptly at 2:30. They played 5 songs with some awkward banter with Nicholas Tremulous in between a few songs. I don't know their songs well enough. Patterson sang 2 including a cover, Mike sang 2 and Shonna had one. They seemed into it which was cool considering they had a gig the night before and another one in about 6 hours. Definitely want to get into more of these... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
