A terse "thank you" every once in a while, but they kind of just get the whole experience going like a trance and roll from song to song without much delay. The lighting was awesome as well.

JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Saw Daughtry last night with the wife. Actually recognized 3 songs. Dude has a powerful voice. They were on for less than 90 minutes. He appeared to be having trouble with his monitor earpieces. They all left the stage twice and came back. Apparently the 2nd of these meant the start of encores but it wasn't obvious and the crowd sure didn't react like usual.

Nothing against Kenny Wayne Shephard, but he would've been the icing on the cake for me, I would've gone for Beth Hart. 18 hours ago, Fetou said: Went to night one of two of Radiohead last night.

NoSaint Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Almost always glance. Often my gf won’t know the bands as well so it’s a good excuse to hone in on some tunes the week or two prior to help make sure she is familiar with what we’re actually seeing.

I thought about this a a little  I saw Diamond Rio, a 90s country band with a lot of great hits, coming to town and I wanted to make sure there were playing recent music so I just took a brief glance at their setlist. It was awesome with several covers so I booked the tickets  they played for almost an hour and 45 minutes and I sang every single song word for word. That's been the only concert this year I was able to do that, save for Willie Nelson which I just couldn't keep up with his slow pace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a faithful following, but they aren’t the type of band that’s going to sell out an arena as the main act.  I most recently saw them at a place very similar to Water Street Music Hall.  Maybe 150 people.  I don’t know the answer to your second question.

Logic Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Saw Dead and Company twice in June. Once at the Gorge (an okay show) and once at Eugene (an absolutely STELLAR show and probably my favorite post Jerry live Dead show experience ever). Seeing Pearl Jam twice at Safeco Field in a few days. Fun times. On a side note...are any Dead fans but me planning to go see Bobby's "Wolf Bros" acoustic trio shows this fall? I can't help myself...I've got an incurable desire for constant live Grateful Dead music, so I'll be going to at least one show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
