Seeing them Live - Concerts and gigs thread.

Saul Williams is doing a poetry reading here the 17! I'm going ticks have been bought and time off from work.

Sep 15 Atmosphere play here. I'm gona try and swing that... I haven't bought ticks or asked to change work times so I can.

Mono (Japan) will be here Oct 2nd. I am gona go to that show as well. I might take a few extra days off and go around town or something...

Doug Stanhope tweeted and posted on fb about doing shows in Oct. Really hoping he comes to Seattle.

[Aaron]

So the Atmosphere show sold out. Which makes me sad.

I will find out tomorrow if I got the time off for Mono And Deftones are also here both shows in October. I even took vacation time so I think I'm gona try to get a new tattoo as well during my time off. 

[Aaron]

No Stanhope tour for C@tle yet. HOWEVER SAUL WILLIAMS IS TONIGHT! While I am a bit sad that it's a poetry reading instead of a music thing. I'm also happy for the same reason...


I also got the time off for Mono and Deftones. While I can't say I'm huge on Deftones I still want to go to the show. One of my friends from HS (that I liked then, and still like now. Might be coming up for it if he can swing it.) Deftones have the guitarist from System of a Down as an opener. Scars on Broadway. Not gona lie, I fucking hate his voice. I liked the first SOAD album, the last few were shit. SO I might be boozing during that part...  MONO is gona be fucking amazing. I really hope they play The Kidnapper Bell.  Their new album is really beautiful more so then their others. So even if they don't play the song the show will still be amazing.

[Aaron]

Saul was fucking amazing.

That's all.

[r00]

you are going to have access to so many awesome shows now.

Thank the jeebus, my wife got the time off from work necessary for us to head up to Saskatoon for Rush!  Can't wait, Clockwork Angels kicks a hell of a lot of ass.  Those tunes are going to be awesome live.

[r00]

nice!  I haven't seen Rush since Roll the Bones tour.

[Goose]

This'll be my third time seeing them, and my wife's first.  Saw them in Calgary for the Vapour Trails tour, and they actually hit Regina for the Snakes and Arrows tour.  They seem to like touring their home country pretty thoroughly, and you won't hear me complaining about it!

If you get the chance, see them this time around.  They're still at the absolute apex of their game.  I just hope "Closer to the Heart" gets put back into the setlist.  I know its a tad cheesy, but a Rush show just doesn't feel the same without it, and they left it off the setlists for a few years because they were just plain tired of playing it.

Hells ya I am. Like I have already missed more shows then I have even thought about going to while I lived in Pendleton. Due to the traveling and getting time off from work. Now I just have to ask for the day after and day of. And bam. Bus to the venue and I'm fucking set.


SWEET on the Rush Show Goose!

PIL in oct.
The Who (kinda) doing Quadrophenia (with the original keyboardist) in Nov. The who's one of those bands i've listened to forever. really fell in love with them in HS, and when I eventually heard Quad I hated it. Took me some years later to relisten to it and have it click, and it's easily one of my fave all time Who recordings. I had a chance to see em like 15 years ago and I have kicked myself for not doing so, especially with Entwistle passing awhile later. SO yeah, I ain't missing this one.

Last night was MONO. They did their newest album For My Parents. My mind was blown like Dwyer's, less messy. But it was such an amazing show. And they didn't fuck around they came up and played, they paused a bit after each song for us to cheer them on. But they went right into the next song. One of the guitarist played like no fucking other. He was dripping sweat at like the mid point of the first song, by the end of the show his shirt was soaked. He also broke a string and replaced it hella fast. Like with in a minute and a half and it tuned and was waiting for his part to start. But he played from his heart. The rest of the group played really well to, like I'm still blown away by how amazing and how much music 4 people could put out. It was one of the most intense things I have every seen/heard. And the album doesn't sound as good now. Like I still think it's great. But after seeing them play it live, it just isn't the same... I really think they may have ruined live shows for me. They had no stage art, nothing crazy, just three dudes and one chick playing.

Also the opener was Chris Brokaw, he was a one man show just sang and guitar. It was good. All in all I had an amazing time.

[r00]

sounds good, aaron!  That's exactly why I got into collecting bootlegs.  I found the live performance (and live versions of songs) better than the album recordings in a lot of cases.  I would run over to dimeadozen.org because it looks like the audio to your show is already up there!  8)
