LeviF Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 The Woodstock 50 thread got me thinking about the shows I want to see this summer. Living in the Albany area the local scene is pretty good and we get some bigger acts that come to SPAC. So far I'm planning on seeing: Knotfest w/ Volbeat, Gojira, and Behemoth Tedeschi Trucks KISS Zac Brown Band and possibly Skynyrd. though two nights in a row (Zac Brown night one) might be a bit much for me. Plus any number of smaller and/or local bands that'll play my favorite watering holes. Gonna hit at least one festival this year. My buddy got passes to Warped Tour in AC, we have to see about Woodstock 50. Maybe take a road trip to Summerfest or something cool like that. What do y'all have planned? Anything in New York/PA/tri-state that you recommend? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just started hiring staff for the summer so an announcement can't be too far away, I'd think. Presumably they should know when they need people before hiring them.

707BillsFan Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 My only one I have plans for (or had plans for) was Train / Goo Goo Dolls here in the Bay Area. I hate when you buy tix several months in advance. My daughter and her BF were going w/ us, but she is now attending Country Summer (a huge 3-day concert here in town) and my other daughter is coming home from Buffalo that week. Not sure she'll be cool w/ going. Hell, I may have bought A's tickets for that night too. What a disaster! I hate trying to unload tickets. ? I would have loved to go though...there's hope!

Turk71 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 So far we got Dead and Co 2 nights at The Gorge in early June, ELO in Portland end of June with my younger brother who lives in CT. Very next day Santana and The Doobie Bros across the river in WA. Then almost a week of music at The Oregon Country Fair in early July. A beautiful warm sunny day here in Eugene with my big Sugar Magnolia tree getting ready to bloom after a long winter, has me looking forward to spring and summer music fests. Santana and The Doobies are playing at the original Woodstock site in Bethel for a wknd in Aug not too far from you, along with Ringo and his band, Johnny Winter Group and some others. You know, old timer music.? Do they still do a free Mayfest concert at SUNY Albany, those were pretty crazy early 80s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have fun at Red Rocks, saw the Grateful Dead there many times in the 80s. We would camp and party for days down the road at Chief Hosa's campground, good times indeed. Saw The Allman Bros with a just being discovered Rusted Root opening in the early 90s. Beautiful venue with great acoustics and amazing sunsets. We go to the Gorge Amphitheater a lot now and I haven't been to Red Rocks in a really long time. Used to hang out with the SCI when they were starting out early 90s, they would play at a small bar in Park City and then we would all go to a friend's house and party and jam music together all night. Travis is a really good dude (and a really good drummer). Edited March 20, 2019 by Turk71 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Avenger Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Slayer - 3rd leg of North American tour with Lamb of God/Amon Amarth/Cannibal Corpse Iron Maiden - their tours always alternate - last one was a bunch of new stuff from Book of Souls, so this one will be mainly classics and hit - count on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coloradobillsfan Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Tedeschi Trucks band is my favorite; been following Derek for over 20 years and I'm convinced he's the best guitarist of his generation. Really grown to love Susan, she brings it every single night. TTB x 2 at Red Rocks this July. Also seeing Nick Mason tomorrow night (ok a spring show), The Who (don't care if they're old I'll take every opportunity I can get to see them), and Rodrigo y Gabriela who are a really spectacular duo who mix Spanish guitar with all kinds of music including heavy metal - very unique 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real Buffalo Joe Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Saw Zac Brown last week. Went because I snagged some $11 tickets and my wife liked him. Gotta say, I've always like the few songs I know, but this show made me a fan. It was after the rodeo, so those shows are only about an hour to an hour and a half long. But he played all of his originals, and threw in Whipping Post, Devil Went Down to Georgia, and Enter Sandman. Also, broke into a single verse of Take it to the Limit, before going back into his own. Saw Chris Stapleton last week as well. Saw Gary Mullen & The Works (Queen Tribute) on Friday. You'd have thought it was Freddie Mercury. Wife got me floor seats for The Stones next month at NRG. Sitting 12th row for Weird Al in June. He's doing this tour with a full orchestra. Other shows I plan on possibly attending. Buddy Guy next weekend. Bob Seger in May. Queen + Adam Lambert in June.

The show you were at sounds great, congrats! I saw Todd last year with Utopia at the Tower, good seats were like $55 or so, nice show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one is obviously for Lil' Gug, although when I brought him to see Slipknot at SPAC four years ago, I enjoyed it. And I like Volbeat's music/sound - so this should be a good show. I have no interest in the "Woodstock" thing at Watkins Glen. Jay Z and Pus-sy Riot don't scream "three days of peace, love and music" to me. I'm gonna keep my eye on what's going on in Bethel and will likely go there for a more appropriate honoring of the original festival. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhoTom Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 On 3/20/2019 at 4:12 PM, WhoTom said: Oh, and we just scored free tickets to a Grateful Dead tribute at the House of Blues in Chicago. The band was called Live Dead '69, and their keyboard player is Tom Constanten, who played keyboard for the Grateful Dead in the late 60s. (He's the only "official" GD keyboard player who's still alive.) Their first set was a replication of the Dead's Woodstock performance. Second set was also 60s material. The two guitarists were excellent, and the rest of the band was good too. I'm partial to the 70s era of Dead music, but I still enjoyed the performance. The opening act was called The Who's Who, and as a huge fan of The Who, I was impressed. We got there early enough to stand in front, where we had the best "seat" in the house: directly in front of the bass player. This guy was amazing - he captured all the energy and driving force of John Entwistle, including the little nuances that John frequently added to a song. The lead singer dressed like Daltrey, albeit without Roger's six pack. (It was more like a quarter keg.) But his voice was decent and he did the whole dancing and mic swinging bit. The lead guitarist featured some windmills in a respectable Townshend imitation and the drummer wasn't bad, for someone who's not Keith Moon (or Zak Starkey). We've been to the House of Blues in Chicago twice, and both times were great. The staff is very friendly and professional. It's a cool venue to see a show, if you're ever in the area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will be in Buffalo at Shea's on April 11th and I highly encourage all real PF fans to catch what might be your only opportunity. No re-hashing Money /Comfy Numb / Another Brick in the Wall for the millionth time but instead a thorough exploration of both the Syd Barrett era and the years pre-Dark Side.
