A thread about concerts.

[Angry Ewok]

I can't wait to be that old ass man who shouts, "EH?!" all the time.

Does it kickass, Morgbug? Or have I got my hopes up for nothin'?

[Morgbug]

Eh?!

[Nicklab]

I got tickets to Tool for August 29.  I am very excited.  Earplugs are for pussies who want to hear when they're old.  Pussies.

Tell me that after you can't sleep because your ears are ringing so bad.  It's such a pleasant sensation.

Tell me that after you can't sleep because your ears are ringing so bad.

That's what booze is for (well, that, amongst other things. . .).

[Nicklab]

Is that what folks in plush animals costumes who throw fake blood around do? 

[Morgbug]

Tell me that after you can't sleep because your ears are ringing so bad.

Bingo!

Sleep, passing out.  It's all about immobility.

I've got tickets to see Willie Nelson and John Foggerty, and by absolute fluke, it looks like Eric Clapton is going to be performing here in Alabama, as well... Has anyone seen Foggerty live? I caught the tail end of his show on Austin City Limits, and was wondering if he'll be playing really CCR-heavy like he did then, or what? I'm really not interested in any of his newer projects, to be honest - I'm just wanting to rock out to his old stuff...

Has anyone seen Clapton live? What's it like? His tickets are gonna cost somewhere around $100, which is absolutely ******* ridiculous, considering none of the venues in Alabama are worth that. Willie and Foggerty together cost me $40 or so...

[Nicklab]

I saw Clapton last fall with Cream.  He is worth the money!  I can't believe just how good he was.  I had heard all this hype about him, and I'd listened to his stuff for years, yet I hadn't come across any recordings of him that really blew my mind.  That night he succeeded in doing just that.  The man is incredible live!

[Angry Ewok]

I wish I could have seen the CREAM reunion... they're one of my favorite bands. I have the CREAM Reunion DVD, and while it does kick some ass... they totally dropped the ball on several songs, and worst of all - Clapton never once played with his Wah pedal... What the **** was he thinking? The Wah is like another member of the band, if you ask me.

Hopefully he cracks out the crybaby on this tour...

[Nicklab]

He broke out the wah-wah pedal at the Garden.  It was amazing when they played "White Room" and "Tales of brave Ulysees".  But I agree, it was sorely missing from both the CD and DVD of the shows at the Royal Albert Hall.

[MetalJedi]

Going to see NIN and Bauhaus tonight. 

[DSJ™]

So The Who is making a tour, first time in 20 years. Nice ticket prices! 

[Morgbug]

Haven't seen the price, but I will be at the October 3rd show here in Winnipeg.  This is one of the few remaining bands I've yet to see

[Nicklab]

I saw them when they did the Quadrophenia tour in the 90's.  They were AWESOME!  I was floored by the whole show, especially during "The Real Me" (since I'm a bassist)...John Entwistle was amazing!  It seems weird for them to go out on tour without him.  But I guess they had been doing shows without him for a while.  But to do a record as well just seems kind of weird.

[Famine]

I'm off to see Charlie Daniels Band on Weds, in Albany.

August 19th I have tickets to see one of my favorite bands, the Dropkick Murphys. I can cross them off my list afterwards. I've read quite a few reveiws of their shows, and it sounds like there is no way I can have a bad time.
