Skipping Jason Isbell tonight because he is the opening band instead of the headliner.  I understand "the hard working americans" is a super group and all that but I can't believe Isbell has to open for them.

Seeing that Queen Adam Lambert thing tonight.

A few weeks ago I saw a Queen tribute band called Almost Queen who were surprisingly good. In fact, there is a quote from Howard Stern on Almost Queen's website that says the Almost Queen show is better than the current Queen (+ Adam Lambert) that's touring now.

 

In the past week I've seen Matthew Sweet (great) and NRBQ (first time I've seen them since it's become Terry Adams and 3 Guys I Don't Know - not sure what to make of that show, actually).

Jack White

Caught some of his show last night on XRT --- always enjoyed his music - just can't get past his vocals, though --- it sounded like he wasn't even singing into the microphone.

The fiddle fitted in nicely and banter was full blown rock star style - which was fun. His shout out to the Empty Bottle was pretty cool.

Seeing him a the 'somewhat' small Chicago Theatre must have been a blast.

I hear you. Tonight is at the larger Auditorium Theater. Saw the White Stripes do Get Behind Me Satan straight through there back in the day. I'm not surprised - imo he's a visual performer and the power of the performance is in being there (as opposed to radio).

The show was very enjoyable. The last few songs were the best....among them, Ain't That Enough, The Concept, and Sparky's Dream were all played back to back to back....that was enough to nearly make my head explode. :)

 

I had only seen this band once before, many years ago when they opened for Radiohead, when Radiohead was still a fairly small band. At the time, I wasn't really familiar with their material. I'm glad I finally got to see them again after all these years!
