A thread about concerts.

[Morgbug]

I think it's a song by Gordon Lightfoot about a ship that sunk in the Great Lakes during a really bad storm... true story based off of the NCC-1701 Baba O'Riley.

 

I'm shocked anyone even knew who Gordon Lightfoot is (was?).  Damn Canadians.

[Tracy]

I thought Baba O'Riley was the name of the ghost who lived in the wishing well

He isn't dead, but I think it's safe to say "Was"...

I saw Rob Zombie and Godsmack on Saturday night.  I am finally starting to feel better today.

First time seeing Zombie, but he put on a good show.  His songs are perfect for rock concert atmosphere! 

Godsmack played almost two hours, and did a lot of variety in their setup.  Their shows are always entertaining and really showcases their rock muscianship.  I left tired, with headache and hoarse.  It was great!!!!

Going to see Eric Church at the Wildhorse on Saturday, then The Raconteurs on the 19th at City Hall, and  Red Jumpsuit Apparatus at the Exit/In a couple days after that. Busy concert month for me, pretty weird mix too.

I saw the Pet Shop Boys on Nov 5th (my wife got us tickets for my birthday) in Seattle.  I even managed to get Chris and Neil's autographs after the show as well.

I saw them on the 28th of October.  Didn't know anyone else out there actually still cared about them... 

While I didn't much care for S-H-O-P-P-I-N-G, I thought the rest of the "evening of (mostly) electronical entertainment" was top-notch.  I especially loved the partially acuoustic "Home and Dry", the encore "Go West", and the ginormous hats of "Always on my Mind".

[Angry Ewok]

I'll be seeing My Morning Jacket in Atlanta, then in Nashville... Sunday/Monday should be crazy.

[Madcow]

I'm going to see Fear Factory tomorrow night. Wasn't planning on it but a friend asked me to go. I figured why the hell not...

[Dr. Zoltar]

I saw them on the 28th of October.  Didn't know anyone else out there actually still cared about them... 

There was a pretty full crowd.  Maybe 60% from the Seattle gay community and the rest were folks that grew up on them from the 80's.  I've always liked their music and rated them my top band.  I really enjoy their earlier stuff where they poke fun at themselves in typical British comic style.

By the end of the show everyone was standing and dancing.  You should have seen the crowd go wild when "It's a Sin" was played.  Absolutely amazing!

[Angry Ewok]

Me and some buddies got to hang out with My Morning Jacket for about half an hour or so at the Ryman. They know a few of us by first name, but we wear the viking helmets so that they can pick us out in the crowd... Anyway, they signed our Hatchshow prints and just goofed around with us for a while.

[Angry Ewok]

And I'm the short ****** in the black jacket.

Went and saw Electric Frankenstein tonight.  Exciting stuff considering I only found out about the show yesterday and have been wanting to see them for a long time.

[Cory Chaos]

I made some new friends as of late, which kind of rekindled my love for music, so we've been doing some local shows, as well as semi-national acts. Caught Through the Eyes of the Dead along with The Acacia Strain and Light This City 2 weeks ago. Plan on seeing Acacia Strain when they come back in January with JOB FOR A COWBOY, as well as bound to be killer show of God Forbid with Mnemic. Mastodn will be in town February 5th, which I can't wait for.

Minnesota seems to get snubbed on shows, though.
