watch me fall Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Jason Isbell w/ Josh Ritter opening.I get to see this in 2 weeks. Can't wait! Link to post Share on other sites
uncool2pillow Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Josh Ritter put on a fantastic opening show. One of the best I've ever seen. Isbell was fantastic as ever. His live shows keep getting better. Such good playing. Unbelievable setlist. Link to post Share on other sites
Vacant Horizon Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Opeth and The Sword. had no gas in the tank to then head over to the Kikagaku Moyo show, even though i am sure it was great. hell, i missed The Poster Children and Kudgel as well. Both of those bands would be so fun to see live! I was watching a live video of Opeth and their front man said to the crowd, "we have tuned our instruments down to make this song sound more evil". So great! Link to post Share on other sites

His live shows keep getting better. Such good playing. Unbelievable setlist. I've seen Isbell several times but haven't seen Ritter despite being a fan of his for about a decade now. I'm excited to take some family to the show so they can see what my fandom is all about. Link to post Share on other sites

So great!The Sword sounded fine (adn they had a hell of a low end going... i tihnk it was synth-based in addition to the rickenbacker) but they just kinda stood there and had terrible light. Opeth had better light but i was fighting a really sore throat and it was my 3rd night out in a row, so i left early. Link to post Share on other sites

Lammycat Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Beacon I assume? Have fun!Took a train from New Haven to NYC for a JGB Beacon Theater (early) show in December of '83 with a buddy. Like 16 yrs old or so. Freezing cold out. We had no idea how to get to the show and we were tight on time after rolling into Grand Central so basically started running in an approximate direction asking directions as we ran. Quite a few blocks, as I recall. Got to the Beacon on time and there was a mini bar in the lobby so we gave that a shot. When it was time to order our drinks my buddy ordered a rum and Coke and when it was my young-assed turn I panicked and ordered a pina colada. Everyone in the immediate area of me (adults) burst into laughter. I settled for a humiliated rum and Coke. I recently looked this show up and we caught 8 tunes. Got in trouble with our respective folks and had a beer bottled smash over our heads waiting for the train back to CT in Grand Central. Link to post Share on other sites

NoJ Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Its nice to see the Poster Children back at it. Saw them back in the early 90s a half dozen times or so. Surprised they didn't get a bigger following. Link to post Share on other sites
Chez Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 ^^ Poster Children are arguably the greatest band out of Champaign, IL. Though it's a pretty low bar -- REO Speedwagon may be second!! Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Sounds like it was hoot.It was. All for 8 tunes, too.....that was the entirety of the "early" show: 8 songs. Yow. Those "early" and "late" shows were ridiculous. Link to post Share on other sites

Young guys looking nervous....I was texting my buddy I went with (who now lives in CO, too) about the show and he reminded me that Dr. John opened. Now I recall, due to circumstances of the evening, that when he came out on stage with a tall walking stick and laid it on top of his piano that I was pretty sure it was a huge snake that he placed on top of the piano....

tinnitus photography Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 well i sucked it up and saw Warpaint last night. though i got in at doors (8) and they didn't take the stage until near 10:30 after one opener, it was worth it. god i love that band. i have some work travel that means no shows for a bit... i have tickets to see Shellac in Maine in two thursdays, but might see them in PVD the following night so i can see Die Antwoord... they have always been on my to shoot list.
