Summer 2019 Concerts/Shows

[The Poojer]

A tour was just announced that sounds really interesting....Herbie Hancock and Kamasi Washington...natrually Hancock is way more familiar to most, but Washington is an incredible saxophonist that crosses several musical genres, I am thinking about checking that one out

Nabbed 3rd row floor seats to Godsmack.  Should be fun!

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

Santana and the Doobie Brothers are coming to town. My aunt's friend is married to their current saxaphone player for the Doobie Brothers. So we always get free tickets. I've always wanted to see Santana. Not to take anything away from Carlos whatsoever, but he's always put together such an awesome band. Santana was at the Houston Rodeo this year. But rodeo shows are always like an hour maybe an hour and a half tops. Santana is a band I'd want to see where they can jam for as long as they want. 

[The Poojer]

Got shut out of the tour start of Golden Gate Wingmen tonight because I dragged my feet.  Kind of a mash-up of Dead related musicians.  It's in a 350 capacity club, such a great place to see shows

Waiting to see your review on the Claypool Lennon Delirium!!!

[The Poojer]

Heading out to center city shortly, have a couple of 10:00 meetings and want to be in place down there so I can take the meetings from a coffee shop then walk over to the show, looking forward to it.  Apparently Geddy Lee joined them on stage at the tour opener in Toronto Wednesday nite

@Gugny I've decided I'm gonna go to the Godsmack show up in GF.  Tickets are reasonable and they put on a good show, why not.

 

They were great last year at Rock on the Range. 

[LeviF]

Bit of a change of pace as it's not music, but Pete Davidson and John Mulaney are coming to the Palace in Albany May 5th and I'm going to go see that.  I'm a Mulaney fan.  Haven't seen much of Pete Davidson's stand up but apparently people like him.

[Turk71]

Going to see Neil Young with Promise of the Real May 23 Eugene Matt Knight Arena.

That's cool you get free tickets. I got tickets to see them both end of June. My younger brother is coming out west for a visit. Santana always puts on a great show, seen him many times. The Doobies are great too, seen them 3 times, the last was at the Gorge a few years back with the Allman Bros and The Dead.

Off topic, but you need to join in on a 518 luncheon, man.

Sounds like a plan.

Yes, I'm quoting myself.

 

Mulaney was hilarious but he basically carried Pete Davidson.  Might have been that it was the later show and Pete was probably high as a kite, but I can't imagine I would go see him on his own.

The Boston Pops Celebrates Queen with Marc Martel

Tanglewood

Koussevitzky Music Shed - Lenox, MA

On Thursday, June 27 at 8 p.m., the Boston Pops and special guest Marc Martel join together for a celebration of the legendary rock band Queen. Martel, known for his striking vocal resemblance to Freddie Mercury, Queen’s lead singer, has been fronting Queen's official tribute show, The Queen Extravaganza, since 2011. Now, eight years later, Martel also tours all over the world with his own Queen tribute show, The Ultimate Queen Celebration, and orchestral show, Symphonic Queen, and was a vocalist for the 2018 Oscar-winning biopic Bohemian Rhapsody, along with Freddie Mercury and Rami Malek. Leading this Pops program in the Koussevitzky Music Shed is James Burton, Tanglewood Festival Chorus conductor and choral director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra.

I got to see the Boston Pops a bunch of times when my buddy (who now plays for the WASO) summered with them at Tanglewood as a student percussionist.  Lot of fun to hear.

Pretty nice site with a lot of local summer music lineups as well as festivals and events.

[BUFFALOKIE]

I won two 3-day passes to Rocklahoma!!!! I know all yall noreasteners probably don't know don't care, but Rocklahoma has been said by many major publications (Rolling Stone, etcc) to be the biggest party in the country over the Memorial Day weekend! Google it if you don't believe me.

 

70+ hard rock/metal bands. Gonna be fun!

If this was in the summer (when school is out), I'd bring my son in a heartbeat.  Awesome that you're going for free.  Enjoy, dude!!!

Jeff Miers Top Summer Concerts...(for those that do not know, he writes for the Buffalo News, reviews most of the local concerts in the Gusto section.)

 

The Flaming Lips and the Claypool Lennon Delirium, with Particle Kid
July 27 at Artpark
Why? Because your heart deserves a holiday. Two of the finest ensembles currently making psychedelic rock music, both of whom happen to be supporting fantastic new albums, team for a summer show that I’m predicting will be the high-point of the summer.

 

Beck and Cage the Elephant
Aug. 13 at the Darien Lake Amphitheatre
Why, Because Beck is completely awesome, and the new Cage the Elephant album, “Social Cues,” is, too.

 

George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic with Galactic, Fishbone, and Miss Velvet & the Blue Wolf
June 11 at Artpark
Why? Because a summer without funk isn’t really a summer at all.

 

James and the Psychedelic Furs

July 18 at Canalside
Why? Because James is one of the great, largely unsung bands of the great alternative rock era of the 1980s and early '90s, and the band has not played a major summer stage in the city of Buffalo. The Psychedelic Furs always deliver the goods, too.

 

Cobblestone Live!
Aug. 2-3 in the Cobblestone District
Why? The lineup for the third annual Cobblestone Live! fest, is stellar and ably blends national and local talent of the topper-most tier.

 

Iron Maiden
Aug. 13 at KeyBank Center
Why? Iron Maiden remains the greatest heavy metal band in the world. And the band’s visits to Buffalo have become increasingly rare over the years.

 

Rockin’ at the Knox with Death Cab for Cutie, Tank and the Bangas, Phosphorescent
June 16 outside the Albright-Knox Art Gallery
Why? This consistently wonderful annual event is a must-see, and this year’s lineup is one of its finest.

 

The Struts and Glorious Sons
July 25 at Canalside
Why? They keep telling us that rock 'n' roll is dead, and we need to gather in numbers to prove how wrong they are. Two awesomely raunchy young rock bands make this one a summer requirement.

 

Borderland Music & Arts Festival
Sept. 22-23 at Knox Farm State Park
Why? The setting is beautiful, and the lineup (including Gov’t Mule, Greensky Bluegrass, Shakey Graves and Mavis Staples) is sublime.

Just watched, "Concert for George" the other night.  My favorite part of the show was when Jeff Lynne came out.  I had every intention of seeing ELO at MSG last summer, but it got all mucked up by my son's friend.  Still pissed about it.  Enjoy the show!!

[Fan in Chicago]

Saw Martin Barre and his band play 50 year's of Jethro Tull. By far the best Tull concert in a decade. Younger vocalist sang very well and the only thing I missed was Anderson's flute. But given Anderson's terrible vocals in his concerts, I was glad for the trade off and didn't miss him much. Barre's band had early members Clive Bunker and Dee (formerly David) Palmer and they played 2-3 songs from each their early to mid career albums, stopping very appropriately at Crest of a knave. Surprisingly, they even played a bit from the excellent but much maligned A Passion Play. Loved this concert

 

Later this summer, I will be seeing Knopfler and Band.

Also Deep Purple .

I heard on the radio yesterday afternoon that Daltrey recent told a crowd to "eff off," during a concert because their pot smoke was giving him an allergic reaction.

[WhoTom]

Yeah, he says it causes his throat to swell up and prevents him from singing. It's been that way for several tours. People who want to smoke should avoid the front rows, I guess. Or learn about edibles. ? I didn't know he told someone to F off, but when we saw them in 2015, he did make a polite request that people not smoke.

 

They're touring with an orchestra this time, playing a lot from Tommy and Quadrophenia with the orchestra, and several other pieces with just the regular band.

 

I realize that The Who is pretty much a tribute band at this point, but they're the best damn Who tribute band playing.

Not much of a border to crash for Steven Page since he lives here in the Syracuse area now.

Greta Van Fleet is tonight.  

 

Add Lotus Land/Bonfire (Rush and AC/DC tribute acts) to my previously posted list.  8/2 free show at the Rochester Public Market.

Great show! Simon Townshend (Pete's brother, who plays rhythm guitar with The Who's touring band) was wearing a Buffalo Sabres hat. I know they played Buffalo a couple of weeks ago - maybe he picked it up then?

[Turk71]

Neil Young with Promise of the Real (Willie Nelson's kid's band) tomorrow night in Eugene.☺

Night one is in the books! All the artists put on great shows but Steel Panther was hands down the best. They are great stage performers and had the crowd rockin like 1985. Boobies, boobies, boobies everywhere. They are sooo funny too!

GWAR freaking killed it! Buck Cherry, Seether, Pop Evil, Corrosion of Conformity all had great sets too. 

Shinedown was the headliner to end the night but I was very disappointed in the sound system for them. I don't know what changed, but there set was nearly indistinguishable - all bass drum and no treble. We left halfway through their set which was for the better because it started raining right as we got back to camp.

We will head in earlier today for all the early acts. Tonight ends with Korn. It's going to be another mud fest, so hopefully no more rain.

Peace out, God bless our fallen soldiers and GO BILLS!!!!
