Wife and I went. Didn’t see the guy in the Foo shirt and cowboy boots, otherwise I would’ve asked, “Are you from the Internet?”

Show was good. Vocals were muddled, probably because way too many college kids means all they do at shows is talk all show long. We went upstairs and I told Mrs C-Man I couldn’t remember hearing ambient crowd noise like that during a show in a long time.

Anyway, I think they’re pretty good instrumentally. I think they need to work on making good tunes now. I preferred the less Southern hard rock stuff. More MMJ, less Skynyrd.

I was down in the GA area amongst the smu house party chatter crowd.

I agree that the vocals were muddled. The sound was much clearer at the austin live stream.

I dig their southern sound. They have some standards they’ve played many times and know how to bring the energy and crowd to a crescendo.

Glad you made it to the show. Bummed we didn’t meet up.

Gah!  Janes Addiction and Love & Rockets are touring together.  

Gonna guess the addiction part is back and this tour may be done.

 

[jimmyjazz 45405]

I always become more even tempered once my BAC hits 0.15 or so.  What's up with Perry? 

Way to blow the money tour.

Blues and Brews -  Gary Clark Jr headliner last night

Echo & the Bunnymen were a fun time at HOB Dallas last night. Second show of the tour so Ian's voice was probably as good as could be expected. Love Will's guitar work.

Always a good call to see Bunnymen early in the tour.  I saw them in Austin in 2022 and they canceled the next few shows b/c of Ian's voice.  He was having back problems at the time and went off stage to get a backrub (not the Deshawn Watson. type) so Will got to take over with an instrumental for a few minutes.  I've seen them a bunch of times over the years.  Will's playing seems to be getting stronger; Ian claims to be off drugs, which will prolong his career.

/csb
Saw them at a bar on 4th St on the tour when Ian had left the band.  Was standing in the bar/poolhall area of the place, as the opening act was just not very good.  Started talking to a guy.  He had a strong British accent, so I asked if he was touring w/ the band.  He said, "Yes, I'm Noel, the lead singer."  Oops.  It was Noel Burke, but I did not know what he looked like b/c the Reverberation liner notes did not contain photos.  He invite me to join them back stage after.  Went back there, and he says, "Hey boilerhorn - thanks for joining."  Drank w/ them and some others for a bit.  Until Will bought a bag of coke from some rando.  Time for me to leave.

Nathaniel Rateliff raised the roof, and MMJ melted my brain and my face tonight. Great show. Highly recommend. 

[SurlyGator 856]

Going with my 17 year old daughter (no pics) to see Weezer Tuesday night in Nashville.  Not a huge fan, but should be a good experience with her.  I'm hoping for several of their better known covers.

[The Ace of Aces 5101]

Saw Weezer do the Blue Album cover to cover last night.  

It ended at 11:55. They took the stage at 10:20. That’s too fucking late.

No covers. But the show is a theatric production and fun. They hold off the album until the end but I get why. 

[stc 1451]

saw the freaks on parade tour at cota on saturday. got $25 tickets from that live nation sale earlier this summer. 

filter: they only played for 30 minutes and they played the hits. didn't realize how many filter songs i'm familiar with. lead singer can't sing anymore...maybe never could, but he can still scream. they were fine. 

ministry: i have an appreciation for what they do, but i've never gotten into ministry. they were very repetitive and i have a feeling half the people on stage were not playing an instrument, and al jourgenson was certainly singing along to recorded vocals. 

alice cooper: he's still a performer and he put on a good show. all the same theatrics from when i saw him several years ago but it was entertaining...snakes, multiple people killed on stage, giant stage props, etc. the band sounded good. he has 3 guitarists, one of them being nita strauss. 

rob zombie: impressive array of video screens and various moving stage props. at one point he got everyone to scream and then he said we weren't any louder than fans in new jersey. this elicited boos from the crowd and he asked "what, do you hate bruce springsteen or something?" to which i was able to enthusiastically scream YES! so thanks for that, rob. he only played 2 white zombie songs and i'm not very familiar with his solo stuff but it was fun. 1965 is a fucking jam.

Damn. And I thought the Jane’s show got out of hand.

[Buzzrock 14851]

Korn, Gojira, and Spiritbox tonight. I might leave before Korn goes on. Hope I don’t forget earplugs.

They're in Dallas in a couple weeks -- looks like they're at AAC with Flaming Lips and Dinosaur Jr. Is that the show you saw? That would explain them playing so late.

Forgot one that my wife and I are committed to -- Future Islands at Longhorn Ballroom. Not sure when that is exactly. Saw them at ACL the one time I went (the year Radiohead and LCD headlined -- damn, those were the days!). Oops -- it's on 9/28, the same day we're heading to SLC to see War on Drugs/National the following day.

Also, we're probably going to snag some lawn seats for Nathaniel Rateliff and Gregory Alan Isakov in Las Colinas in October.

Perry downing several bottles of wine on stage every night was never going to end well. He is surely a few bottles deep before he hits the stage.

and probably many pills

Yup. They’ve ended an hour earlier everywhere else - the anthem sucks.

Going to the Austin show at the end of October.  Gregory Alan Isakov is opening - I don't know him, but my daughter is going just to see him and she says I'll like him.

That isakov album with the Colorado symphony is my go-to on planes. So chill and beautiful.
Amsterdam is such a great song.

Spiritbox and Gojira were great, had to leave for work calls before Korn. Which is fine, I’ve seen them before. 

[Litig8r 413]

Just bought tickets for the Drive By Truckers at the Orange Peel in Asheville, NC.

deftones and mars volta 3/12 at moody center. presale now, code swerve

[wild_turkey 3146]

Going to Glass Animals this Friday in Dallas.

[goodiemob 13]

Saw Soul Coughing's first show of their reunion tour in SD.  It was amazing, so fucking happy they're back. 

[MinerProphet 71]

Pink and Imagine Dragon tonight at Oracle Park. Flo Rida and Flava Flav last night. IYKYK.

[jimmyjazz 45405]

I think I'd like to see Pink.  I don't really like her music all that much but she can sing and her concerts seem to be complete spectacles.

[tbone_ 14016]

filter:

Outstanding band.

Kicked their bass players ass in foosball one night at Trees before a Slow Roosevelt show. However, his girl in her leopard print fur trench coat covering what appeared to be only a see thru bikini was way hotter than mine.

[MAUFRAIS 6571]

I saw polyphonic spree is playing a festival in longview this weekend, which should be interesting, then noticed die spitz is opening.

Can they mule some pizza king take and bakes to austin?

My favorite band to sing wrong lyrics to.

“Move up-side, and let the mango through!”

M Doughty is a genius.

I'll check.  Update:  they just signed a record deal with Third Man (Jack White's label).

Grouplove is the opener... I personally would go for them.

Sofi Tukker put on an amazing high energy show.  Basically a nonstop dance party.  They play Dallas and Houston this weekend.

[texasdago 7544]

Want to see Figure Factor on Saturday night if I can get a pass... solid post punk sound

[stc 1451]

built to spill last night at empire. playing all of "there's nothing wrong with love" this tour. it's not my favorite album of theirs but, damn, it sounded good live. traces and hurt a fly also made the setlist, two of my favorites. first several times i saw them they were a 5 piece so i've always been a bit underwhelmed with their sound as a trio, but last night was really good. 

[texasdago 7544]

Speaking of Empire, may take my son to see Dana and Alden.  Good vibes, very Gen-Z music/Tik Tok famous... still seems like a fun show and its cheap.  Always down with shows at Empire.

Huh.  I just now remember I saw Built To Spill a long while back -- I think it was at Austin Music Hall?  As I recall they were a trio at the time.

started off as a trio. early 00's to 2015 they had 5 touring musicians. 2015 to now they've been a trio.

Maiden world tour in ‘25.
Hell yes

I ended up walking over from my house to check them out. Goddamn that was a chatty crowd. I moved spots about 3 times to find an area where there weren’t 15 frat/sorority kids gabbing it up. Liked the MMJ sounding songs but it was hit or miss overall. 

[Nuge 1954]

Saw Wand last night at Aladdin Theater in Portland. We were right up on the stage with plenty of elbow room. The band sounded tight and I thought the new songs sounded great live.

[sidis 9686]

@Goredho and I went to the King Crimson show last night, watching Adrian and Tony Levin play with Danny Carey and Steve Vai. Played mostly 80’s stuff. Danny was incredible as you might expect. A bit of a new side to Vai doing more prog experimental sound stuff vs just speed playing. Enjoyable show. Here’s Danny doing his thing. 

 

[hookemATL 11581]

Friday night Weezer is doing Blue Album 30th anniversary show at Moody. First time attending in a suite, so I will be sure to drink like a fish (esp with kickoff for MSU late afternoon)

[4th&Five 41442]

In 2011 I saw weezer do the blue album and Pinkerton over 2 nights at Stubbs. It’s wild that these bands are still doing the same material but at much bigger venues now. 90’s nostalgia I guess. 

[GenXer 2766]

Next weekend is busy

Fri - kaleo in irving

Sat - fsu at smu. Wife got her masters at smu

Sun - weezer, dino jr, flaming lips at american airlines center in dallas

Mon - james and johnny marr at majestic theater in dallas

[mchookem 15853]

was supposed to see The Black Keys this Tuesday but they canceled their NA tour back in June, i guess to reschedule to smaller 'more intimidate' venues. maybe they were having a hard time selling out the big arenas. i would have thought they are a huge draw, i mean their catalogue is pretty huge, lots of hits and i feel like you hear them everywhere. anyway...

[Chico_SA 518]

Thinking about Black Crowes at Tobin Center in November.  I've never seen them, and I feel like they are band I should see at least once.  It's a mice small venue.

It’s been a loooong time since I last saw James. I’ve only seen them one time. It was at a venue in deep ellum that’s no longer around. I think it was in 2002.

I listened to Seven a lot back in the early 90’s.
