Concerts you are attending

KRS-ONE tonight in Sacramento. Very interesting show. 

He started the things off by throwing albums of his to the audience before the first song

Then , Teacha had a 15 minute “commercial break” about halfway through the concert to philosophize on culture, civilizations, and politics. 

Towards the end of the show, he told his crew to “get the tennis balls” and they proceeded to toss about a hundred signed tennis balls into the crowd. While they were doing that, he was signing anything someone handed to him.

saw james mcmurtry solo acoustic on wednesday night at the continental club gallery. obviously he can turn a phrase but his guitar chops are also impressive. mostly played a 12 string but also busted out the 8 string and 6 string for a few songs. man, that 12 string sounded good. played two 45 minutes sets.

Quick, tell me a last minute show to attend tonight in Austin from around 6:00 to 9:00. Need to be out of the house for a bit.  May just hit Continental Club or Antone's or maybe something random at HITW.

[GenXer 3,270]

I'm getting tickets to see the Eagles at the Sphere.  Price difference between differing sections is wild.  Second section back $300+  Third/fourth section back $800.  Floor  seats $400+  Any reason the second section wouldn't be fine?  TIA

Picked up a ticket to Helmet's Betty album's 30th anniversary tour.  I feel like I just attended the 20th anniversary tour.

I have GA floor seats to see Wilco Friday night at moody theatre.  That’s probably my favorite venue, assuming GA floor, next to Antone’s.

Ended up at Heybale! at Continental Club and the Basil Trio at C-Boys.  Going to The Last Walt II this Friday at the Paramount.

Justice at Moody in March. Would loved to have tried for Red Rocks but can't/don't want to make it work with a three year old.

I managed to pick up 4 floor seats for AC/DC at the Rosebowl in April. It's been 8 years since they last came through and I imagine this is the last chance to see what's left of this band. Basically it's Brian and Angus at this point.

Any of you guys hit the Wilco Winterlude shows at Moody over the weekend?

I'm going to both nights at Cain's this week. 60+ songs over two nights and no repeats...

Super pumped for some DEEEEP cuts. 

[4th&Five 41,851]

went thursday and it was good.  friday setlist would have been better for me though.

[stc 1,489]

excited about this but also curious...the austin date is the only one that has venue tba. formerly i would have assumed this was levitation but they've moved that festival to sept 25-28 next year. so does this mean there's another festival that will be happening halloween weekend? not sure why else they wouldn't announce the venue...will be interested to see if the austin tickets go on sale this week along with all the others.

They were top notch - tight, Tweedy's voice great, etc.

Pretty insane set list last night. The band was super tight and sounded great.

Was not disappointed by the assortment of deep cuts:

https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/wilco/2024/cains-ballroom-tulsa-ok-b53b932.html

Pretty sure that was the first time I've heard "If I Ever Was a Child" live. It was so good.  They were playing freaking DEEP cuts from the Mermaid Ave. albums... we got 2 deep cuts from Mermaid Ave. Vol 2, lol.

But the highlight for me was "Bird Without a Tail / Base of My Skull."  I hadn't much got into the "Cruel Country" songs but holy hell. That's has to become a new Wilco concert staple. The played it to close the first set and it was just incredible. They extended the jam in the middle of the song to maybe 5-7 minutes and man... it was so great. It's instantly a top 5-10 Wilco song to see live.... up there with like Via Chicago, Shot in the Arm, Spiders (Kidsmoke), etc.

It'll be interesting to see what we get tonight. They didn't play anything off Summerteeth last night so I'm assuming we'll get a good dose of that... also probably a bit more from The Whole Love I imagine... hopefully Art of Almost will be in there.

the other texas dates are available in the presale but no option for austin. so this must be a festival.
