Boss_Tweedy Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I haven't seen them in too long, need to remedy that. Sounds like you had a perfect concert evening! It was a fun night. I'm not usually one to hang out after a show, but I was talking to a friend I'd run into at the show when we noticed Britt. If you have a chance to see them again, definitely go.

uncool2pillow Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Old 97's last night. Their best days in terms of new output seem to be behind them, but they still put on a fun live show. Lily Hiatt opened up. I listened to some of her stuff beforehand. She's good. And, as I realized during the show, John's daughter. Link to post Share on other sites

worldrecordplayer Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 War on Drugs - Grade A show, despite the venue (Aragon, Chicago). The Aragon, wow. Didn't know that place still existed. I went to college in St. Louis all the way back in the '70's. Made several trips to Chicago for shows, mostly for the Dead at the Uptown. One trip had us at the Aragon Ballroom for Hot Tuna and Santana. It was pretty much a pit then. I assumed it had met rhe wrecking ball by now. Link to post Share on other sites

Magnetized Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Yep Roc Records 20th anniversary weekend was completely awesome. Dave and Phil Alvin, Nick Lowe, Chuck Prophet, Tony Joe White, Alejandro Escovedo, so many more—even Jimmie Dale Gilmore sitting in for a song with the Alvins. At the Cat’s Cradle in Carrboro NC. Fantastic time! Link to post Share on other sites
TCP Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Courtney Barnett and Kurt Vile once more in Seattle!!! Nice please give a follow up later! Seeing them in 2 weeks They were really great! I was thoroughly impressed. I have a friend who saw them in LA a week ago and said Kurt was so-so, but he was on last night. The new songs sounded great, Over Everything was a little more rocking, I think thanks to Janet Weiss on drums. The coolest part was seeing them do Courtney's older songs with Kurt doing lead on them, Depreston especially had some cool guitar work. They only played 15 songs, none of them were that short though so it probably ended up being about 80 minutes.It's too bad they can't be a full time band, their songs really compliment each other... playing Pretty Pimpin and Avant Gardener next to each other sounds pretty natural.

tinnitus photography Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Even more impressive you got that shot then! Our Lady Peace tonight haven’t seen them in ages my settings were way off as i was just leaving the photo pit so i had to really boost exposure in Lightroom, hence the noise. OLP played The Paradise the other night. were they some sort of alt.grunge band? I honestly can't think of a single thing about them. Link to post Share on other sites
jff Posted October 23, 2017 Author Share Posted October 23, 2017 KING CRIMSON! I can't remember the last time I was this psyched for a show. I saw them on their Construction of Light tour and I thought they phoned it in. Prior to that, I saw two nights of the Thrak tour, which was phenomenal. Both of those lineups mostly played '80s and newer material. This version of the band plays a lot of '70s stuff, which is what I'm most into. Link to post Share on other sites

Alt grunge maybe a good description for them.. Superman’s Dead was the biggest one. Somewhere out there got a little traction too. They’re not groundbreaking by any stretch but I enjoyed their spiritual machines album and a few others Link to post Share on other sites
chuckrh Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I've seen hundreds of shows over the last 40 years so this is high praise. Nine Inch Nails in Vegas on Friday night was 1 of the best ever for me. They were absolutely stunning. I go back a long way with them & always have enjoyed them live but this was on a higher plane. The current line up for the band may be the best ever for them. The old material was stellar & the new stuff amazing. They played 90 minutes which normally I would think too short but they gave it everything. The Hesitation Marks tour was more electronic & funky. This show was more rock oriented. Some very emotional moments also. The cover of Bowie's I Can't Give Everything Away was very moving, as was Hurt. Everyone of the 4000 there was singing along with that. Still an incredibly powerful song after all these years. Other highlights were the only performance of Terrible Lies this year & The Frail/The Wretched. The Day the World Went Away was best I've seen. My favorite recent song, The Background World, works real well live even without the long outro. Let's hope they tour more extensively next year. It was totally worth flying to Vegas (with pneumonia). Paying the piper now after getting home at midnight. Also saw the Pixies the next night. They were pretty good & I enjoyed the show. NIN was magic though. Setlist below: Branches/Bones Play Video Wish Play Video Terrible Lie (Tour debut) Play Video March of the Pigs Play Video Piggy Play Video The Frail Play Video The Wretched Play Video Closer (with "The Only Time" interpolation) Play Video Copy of A Play Video Less Than Play Video Gave Up Play Video I Can't Give Everything Away (David Bowie cover) Play Video The Background World (without outro) Play Video The Great Destroyer Play Video Burning Bright (Field on Fire) Play Video The Hand That Feeds Play Video Head Like a Hole Play Video Encore: Survivalism Play Video The Day the World Went Away Play Video Hurt Link to post Share on other sites
remphish1 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Yeah nine inch nails is a funny band for me I had a few albums liked some songs but then saw them live and like you said they deliver in the live form! I’d say in reality I’m a lukewarm fan at best! Still even though I haven’t bought a nin album in 10 plus years I’ll always catch them live if I can! Link to post Share on other sites
