calvino Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 i rented a 500mm for Macca on Sunday, and a friend tried to convince me to put in for one of the two Dead & Co shows. Nah. Mayer and Oteil seem like they would be fun to shoot -- both are very exuberant in their playing. Link to post Share on other sites

worldrecordplayer Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 as the kids are still at summer camp, i figure i'll take advantage and do something fun w/ my wife tonight.Same reason I took a big gulp and turned down tomorrow night. Not that the kids are at camp, they're out of the house and off the payroll. But, Saturday night after a Friday night show without her. An unprecedented move for me. I must be growing up!

Boss_Tweedy Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Okkervil River How was the show? They're playing in NOLA pretty soon, and I've been thinking about going. Link to post Share on other sites
roadhse ma Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Night 1 Dead & Co was excellent Some real popular songs Franklins & US Blues my fave was and is Morning Dew and that was spellbinding. Was very impressed with sound techs and lighting on stage. Also the ushers were chill.Back for more tonight.Macca tomorrow back to work for rest on Monday. Link to post Share on other sites
The Inside of Outside Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 How was the show? They're playing in NOLA pretty soon, and I've been thinking about going.Okkervil River was really, really good. They played their upcoming album - Away - straight through (its debut, no less). With only one song out there for people to hear (Okkervil River RIP), it was a gamble to play 10-11 songs that no one knows. I was mesmerized through most of the new songs. Best $20 I've spent this year. The sleeper concert of the summer for me. Link to post Share on other sites

Nothing but big time heavyweight GD songs. Fantastic. Sound sucked on the field first set. Horrible. Perfect for the second set. Have fun tonight, wish I was going.

NoJ Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 The Blake Babies are playing a show in Evanston tomorrow!This I found out by pure chance.....unknowingly, I hit the wrong button on the radio as I was driving and I heard an interview with the band.Ah man, such a great band back in the day....

roadhse ma Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 30M = 30 million?? I heard it was a good show even if not sold very well.Really a great show. They did not mail it in, I have seen large touring acts play a less than full house many times and often they play with less intensity. However GNR delivered the goods.Btw re the 30M ( what I typed as an estimate) Not 30 MM what you indicated .. Pls see below The Roman numeral M is often used to indicate one thousand, and MM is used to indicate one million. For example, an expense of $60,000 might appear as $60M. Sales of $3,000,000 might be written as $3MM. Inte30M = 30 million?? I heard it was a good show even if not sold very well.Really a great show.

calvino Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Hall and Oates at a shed - free Ticketmaster tickets. It will be show time decision though - it's too f'n hot, for a show that we are only mildly interested in. Since we have a sitter already planned out, perhaps a nice dinner and drinks with the wife will suffice. Link to post Share on other sites
