Stones tomorrow night at NRG (Texans Stadium). I've been waiting for this one since I got the ticket for Christmas. Was supposed to go in April. I usually don't ask for things for Christmas/Birthdays. But when this concert was announced I told my wife this was literally the only thing I wanted. They're my favorite band, and I would have been happy with nosebleeds. Instead, she talked to my whole family, and they all pitched in what they were planning on spending on me, and got me floor seats. I've only cried at a gift like twice in my life, and this was one of them.

 

 

Just saw that Mick turned 76 today (7/26/1943). 

 

NFL trivia from 1943  due to WWII (as per Wikipedia):

- the Cleveland Rams were granted permission by the NFL to suspend operations

- the Eagles and Steelers were combined and called the Steagles  by fans

- the free substitution rule was adopted ultimately leading to teams having separate offensive and defensive units.

- helmets became mandatory

 

Also, Hiroshima was still 2 years away.

 

Enjoy the show and wish Mick a happy birthday from TBD!

I'll admit i grew up during the 70's classic rock era, and still love it.  That being said, some of the bands being listed here do not even ring a bell.  If I didn't google them afterwards, I'd swear these were just made up names.  lol

Saw the Stones on Saturday night. Greatest concert of my life. Floor seats. Started out with Jumpin' Jack Flash. Heartbreaker was the Fan Vote song. You Can't Always Get What You Want ended with an awesome rock and roll/boogie-woogie piano thing that was fun.  Had a short acoustic set mid show. Playing Sweet Virginia and Dead Flowers. I was hoping they would play one of these two, and was so pumped to hear both. Front of the catwalk of the stage, so the main members of the band (Mick, Keith, Ron, and Charlie) were twenty feet from me. (See picture.)  Keith sang two songs. I wish he would have sang Happy. Midnight Rambler was another one I didn't expect. They had a cool blues breakdown and played a few lines of old blue songs. They didn't play It's Only Rock and Roll, which I was surprised by. But so many other surprises in the set, that I didn't even care. Full set below.

 

1. Jumpin' Jack Flash

2. Let's Spend the Night Together

3. Tumbling Dice

4. Out of Control

5. Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker) (Fan Vote)

6. You Can't Always Get What You Want

7. Sweet Virginia

8. Dead Flowers

9. Sympathy for the Devil

10. Honky Tonk Women

11. Slipping Away (Keith Richards on lead vocals)

12. Before They Make Me Run (Keith Richards on lead vocals)

13. Miss You

14. Midnight Rambler

15. Paint It Black

16. Start Me Up

17. Brown Sugar

18. Gimme Shelter (Encore)

19. (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction (Encore)

He is a phenomenal guitarist.

 

I first saw him 5 years ago as part of the Experience Hendrix tour.  He stole the show.

 

Fast forward to last year - I saw him as a headliner with Beth Hart opening. 

 

A lot of great guitar playing, but I gotta say that I don't care for his singer and I don't like his original tunes.  I found them (singer and tunes) to be boring.  What I took away from it was that he writes a lot of crappy (to me) songs that have excellent guitar solos.

 

He just announced that he's coming back to the area later this year.  I'm not gonna go.  But I would go see Beth Hart as a headliner any day.  That woman can sing and puts on a hell of a show with a great backing band.

 

Anyway ... all just my opinion, but I'm glad you enjoyed the KWS show.  He is one of the best out there, for sure.

I'm not a huge fan of his original songs but he is a hell of a guitarist

Queen with Adam Lambert at PPG Arena in Pittsburgh was spectacular.

Brian May is a great, great guitarist and Adam rocked the vocals.

31 songs and  lots of "sing-a-longs" as most of the 15,000 in attendance knew all the words.

The lights and stages were fantastic.

A hologram of Freddie Mercury at the Live Aid concert was THE best moment of the show.

My 6 year old grandson loved it and  really enjoyed waving  my cellphone in flashlight mode when

the majority of the crowd did the same.

Two observations...60 to 70%  of the crowd appeared to be AARP members.

When one buys a ticket for a SEAT, why does one insist on standing? (I understand floor seating)

Repeated comments were ignored and fortunately my grandson was able to watch the 

concert with the huge monitors Queen uses.

This  was possibly the most technology driven concert I have ever seen. (more than TSO)

I can't sit still when there's music involved.  I prefer to be up and doing my own version of dancing which might only consist of swaying, but I I gotsta move.

When I went to see Roger Waters perform The Wall at MSG, there were two guys who would not sit down.  I'm not kidding when I say EVERYONE (at this particular point in the show) in the arena was sitting and absorbing.  These two (inebriated) were dancing and acting like idiots.  They were also in my way.  I politely asked them to sit down and explained that everyone behind them was sitting.  They immediately went into dick mode and said, "dude, it's a concert!"  I said, "yes, it is, but it's not a ***** Poison concert.  The other 19,998 people here who paid a shitload of money to see this are sitting down, so please have some respect."  They sat.

 

I usually follow the crowd with regard to sitting/standing.  If people are standing in front of me, I usually just stand so I can see.  If the people behind me are sitting, I apologize to them and tell them I have no choice if I want to see the show.

 

If everyone around me is sitting, I'll sit.

It absolutely depends on the band. I was glad I had a seat for the Stones on Saturday because I could sit down before the show and rest my legs. But other than when Keith sang a slow song, I stood up. As did everybody else. When I saw Paul McCartney, it was probably half and half, as he did a fair share of upbeat and slower songs, as well as well known and b-sides or new stuff. Elton John was mostly ballads, so other than Crocodile Rock and Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting, we sat the whole show.

 

I saw a Pink Floyd tribute last summer. The band was called "Classic Albums Live." They tribute a different band every night, but their goal is to play an entire album note for note, as if it was the actual record. This particular show was The Wall.  It was really cool until some loudmouth in the front row decided to yell really loud during all the quiet parts and ruin the whole vibe.

Brian May has always been been an excellent and unheralded guitarist. Some of his early work in particular.

Heading out the door now to catch Dark Star Orchestra at Frontier Field in Rochester... Gonna be a fun night.  ?

Was he yelling "Freebird!"?

 

I prefer to sit since I'm old now. And because of this I'll look for seats farther from the stage with good sight lines. Let those who stand have the better seats, I'm not going to sit front row center when everyone else ( @Chef Jim ) is hanging on the railing.

My father in law is in a wheelchair. So one of the very few perks is that when we go to sporting events or concerts, we get put in like a little box seat where I can stand or sit if I want, with extra legroom at that. When we go to House of Blues we buy the cheap (a lot of times free) floor seats with him. Then because he's in the wheelchair, we get escorted up to the balcony area. Seating (optional.) And a cleaner bathroom, and smaller bar.

So you're saying that you only married your wife so you could have better concert experiences.

We went to the Astros game this past weekend (the combined no hitter), and it was Hall of Fame day. Nolan Ryan, Joe Morgan, Biggio, etc were all being honored before the game. So it was almost a sell out barring a few SRO tickets. So gosh darnit, I had to sit and watch baseball by myself. Front row of the balcony right behind home plate.

I have a friend who knows all the security at Red Rocks. He here seats in the ADA area in front of the rail. it’s awesome!

I have a friend who's teenage daughter is wheelchair bound. She's a huge Dropkick Murphy's fan so he bought her some cheap balcony tickets. Turns out the elevators were out that day, so the only option was to seat both of them right in front of the stage.

Barenaked Ladies and Hootie & The Blowfish last night in Canandaigua at CMAC. Good reminder for me why I hate lawn seats. But good concert overall.

Badfish (Sublime cover band) doing a free show up in Killington tonight.  I’ve seen them twice and they’re pretty solid.  Worth the trip up the mountain for sure.

No, idiots who don't respect the buffer. I had about 2-3 feet of space clear in front of my chair to the chair ahead of me. I went to use the bathroom between bands, and got a text from the wife that four people decided to use that space. No blanket/chairs, they intended to stand right in front of me. Now imagine the next time you're in a camp chair, four people standing right in front of you. Needless to say, when I got back, they moved.

There's an outdoor theater here in Houston. It's like most pavilions, but smaller because it's in a public park. They have a covered area and a lawn area. They're very strict on the hill that people with folding chair go on one side, and people with blankets/sitting on the ground go on the other side.

Not summer 2019, but but I just got some Lumineers tickets for February.  Pretty excited for that.

[May Day 10]

I saw The Claypool Lennon Delirium and The Flaming Lips at Artpark in July.  

 

It was one of the best concerts I have been to out of well over 100.  The Claypool Lennon Delirium may be the most awestruck I have been watching a live performance.

Saw Train & The Goo Goo Dolls last night at the Blossom Music Center(between Cleveland & Akron). Really enjoyed the show.  Because they also had an opening act(The Allen Stone Group), it was almost 4 hours, start to finish. Considering it appeared to be somewhat of an older crowd(30-60), surprisingly at least 75-80% of the folks in the covered part of the amphitheater were on their feet for the entirety of the two main acts.

Went to Knotfest with my son last night.

 

Behemoth - This was our third time seeing them (I seriously cannot believe I just wrote that).  Just your average, every day devil-worshipping music from Poland.  They are entertaining to watch.  The music is bearable.  Not my cup of tea, but I got through it.

 

Gojira - This is one band my son has never gotten into; nor have I.  I was shocked at how much I liked them.  Not nearly as heavy as I thought they'd be and the vocals weren't limited to growls, which I liked.  I actually look forward to seeing them again.

 

Volbeat - Since I'd seen Slipknot once before, I was actually looking forward to seeing Volbeat more than Slipknot.  The songs I'd heard from them (just a few) were really, really good and I figured they'd rock out and put on a great show.  Ho.  Lee.  Chit.  Was I wrong.  They played about an hour.  I'd say 4-5 songs were really good.  The other ones ..... best way I can describe it is this:  A mixture of the Killers, Europe, Tiffany and Debbie Gibson with a dash of Nickelback.  I will say this, though, the vast majority of the crowd LOVED them.  And the place was packed.  I wouldn't avoid seeing them again if they were an opening act.  But I would never, ever pay to see them as a headliner.  Pop-rock at its finest.  Kinda.

 

Slipknot - Phenomenal.  Non-stop energy.  They really fed off the crowd.  I couldn't name one Slipknot song if my life depended on it.  But I do listen to them (second hand) when my son listens to them and I like them.  As I mentioned earlier, this was my second time seeing them.  Even better than the first.  I will see Slipknot every time they're in the area.  They are that ***** good.

 

On my way out, I was talking to my son about how crowded it was.  A guy next to me said he'd heard that they were turning people away because they were sold out.  I"m not sure how true this is, since it was at Saratoga Performing Arts Center, which is an amphitheatre with a lawn.   The Dead drew over 40,000 people in 1985.  They may have change capacity rules, but I don't think the crowd was that big last night.  I'd put it well over 20,000, which fills MSG.  Great crowd; great night.  I"d recommend the show to any metal heads out there.  For 3/4 of the bands, anyway.  And maybe you can bring your teenage daughter to enjoy Volbeat!

Capacity at SPAC is currently capped at 25,000 give or take a couple dozen.  ~5,000 inside and then they can sell 20,000 lawn seats.

Thanks!  Then I'm gonna say it was either sold out or very close to it.

I have been to a bunch of shows & a couple of fests this year but the best I saw so far was Mark Knopfler. He was supported by an amazing 9 person band & he still cranks on guitar. He looks like your old, quiet, weird uncle at a family reunion but he is engaging and humble on stage.

If he's not wearing a neon colored headband, I refuse to go.

 

Going to see Classic Albums Live next week. They tour nationally and  play in the local free amphitheater. They play a full album, note for note live. Usually followed by a second set of greatest hits from whatever band it was. Last year they did The Wall, complete with a children's chorus. Only two songs for the second set because The wall is damn near 90 minutes. 

 

This year they're doing Who's Next, so that oughta be fun. Also possibly going to see a Doors tribute this Saturday.

Saw Gojira this year at sonic temple, really enjoyed them as well. They put on a great set.

 

I’ve seen Volbeat once and they were really good. But my buddy who has seen them 3-4 times has told me they are really hot/cold. If you get bad / uninterested Volbeat, you won’t be that impressed. Also their new album is kinda weird. Very different from their usual sound, much more poppy. I’m not much of a fan of what I’ve heard so far. 

 

Really jealous of slipknot. Haven’t seen them and really want to. I’ve seen stone sour twice and Corey Taylor is just a hell of a musician and frontman.

Volbeat was pumped.  It was clear that a lot of the crowd was there for them.  I think you nailed it with their new album sound.  I'll admit; I hadn't heard one song from their new album.  Poppy is an understatement.  But the crowd (most of the crowd) loved it, so good for them!

 

I agree 100% re: Corey Taylor.  Dude smokes.  He's the real deal.  Definitely check out Slipknot if you have the chance.  It's pure energy from beginning to end.

Seeing Gin Blossoms and Collective Soul tonight....the latter is my wife's favorite band....I guess after so many years of marriage, I know most of their songs....Our youngest kid is doing a work stage in Vancouver BC, so we'll bring him too...maybe...lol...
