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? I live near Albany too. I was hoping to see Knopfler at the Palace. He played there on his last two tours but he isn't this time. I'll be making the drive to Foxwoods in August. I've never seen a show there and considered Boston or NY. Anyone ever been to Foxwoods for a concert?

Caught this the last time they were around and it was phenomenal. Will miss not having KWS in the lineup, but I still expect it to be great. Bringing Lil' Gug to this one. Also, Slipknot (Volbeat, Gojira, and Behemoth) in August at SPAC (see you there??). 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. Going to see Randy Hansen in Portland Or. next month. He is the most phenomenal Hendrix tribute guitar player I have ever seen. If you have not heard of him look him up. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Hansen Don't know if he is playing any East coast shows this year 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I've been doing here with our new amphitheater is buying the cheapest seat inside, then the day of the concert, a few hours before, look to see what is still showing as unsold, and sitting there instead, because the staff there only checks that you have a ticket for being under the roof, not that you actually go to your correct seat. So far this year I'll be going to... Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Induction Morrisey in Toronto Hootie and The Blowfish/BNL Peter Frampton There's other shows I'm interested in but will probably buy tickets once it gets closer.

WotAGuy Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Usually have a bunch of shows lined up by now. So far just Jason Isbell/Father John Misty and Joe Jackson. Last year was a great year for shows: Isbell (2x), Brandi Carlile (2x), Decemberists (2x), Edie Brickell, Jukebox the Ghost, Dave Mason, Crash Test Dummies, David Byrne, the Weepies. All really great shows - Byrne was quite memorable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gugny Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Saw this year's Experience Hendrix show last night at the Albany Palace Theatre. Guitarists: Eric Johnson Dweezil Zappa Mato Nanji Jonny Lang Taj Mahal Dave Mustaine Joe Satriani The Slide Brothers Bassists: Billy Cox Kevin McCormick Dug Pinnick Drummers: Chris Layton Kenny Arnoff What a fu*king show. Chris Layton, Billy Cox and Kevin McCormick were the battery for the majority of the night (show ran 8pm - 10:45). Johnson and Zappa started and played beautifully. Zappa left for a bit and it was just Johnson, who absolutely smoked. Nanji came out and stayed out for a lot of the show. He played some short, but solid, solos - far less of a spotlight guitarist, but still very good. Slide Bros., once they came out, also played in support of some of the other artists, including Jonny Lang (much better than when I saw him with this tour 5 years ago) and Taj Majal. Before the show, I was most intrigued by what Mustaine and Satriani would bring to the table. I'd heard/read that when Zakk Wylde played with the tour, that he was way too heavy metal and turned a lot of people off (I love that dude, by the way); I was worried that these two might not respect what the night was supposed to be - an evening of Hendrix tunes played respectfully. Mustaine's set was very short - just a couple songs (no spoilers). He quickly put my worries to rest. He played the tunes just like Jimi did/would. You could tell he was having fun up there. I couldn't name one Megadeth song, so I've never really heard him play. He came there with the purpose of pumping out quality Hendrix and he delivered. The last third of the show was a three man jam: Satriani, Pinnick and Arnoff. HOLY SH*T. These guys were tight and they absolutely ripped it. Arnoff was like Mitch Mitchell on steroids. Phenomenal. Pinnick's bass lines were simple, but solid; he was also the only one singing. This was my first time seeing Satriani. I saw Vai not too long ago and he was great, but obviously wasn't playing the blues. I was worried that Satriani would bring that style into this show. He did not. He played Jimi-style blues the whole time. He mixed a little shredding in, but it was done tastefully. Overall, this last set was the highlight of the show (judging by crowd reaction, I think most would agree). My son and I both walked away thinking, "this is how Jimi would have played if he had a Floyd Rose." I highly recommend any Hendrix fan to catch this tour. Fantastic.

ricojes Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 https://buffalonews.com/2019/04/10/the-struts-the-glorious-sons-to-saunter-to-canalside-this-summer/ On the heels of Incubus and the Psychedelic Furs - the two previous announcements for the 2019 Canalside Live Concert Series - a powerful double bill has been unveiled for this summer by the water. The Struts, an English glam-rock band, will be complemented by rapidly rising The Glorious Sons on July 25 at Canalside (44 Prime St.). VIP tickets are on sale now for $35, while general admission tickets - just $5 - will be available at 10 a.m. April 12, also through Eventbrite or at Consumer's Beverages locations and the Canalside info kiosk. Freddie Mercury-esque frontman Luke Spiller and the rest of The Struts are regulars in the Buffalo area, playing Rapids Theatre each of the last two years. See Smiles from the local fans from 2018 and 2017, plus a photo gallery dedicated to band shots in 2017. Esquire's interview with The Struts last month - entitled "The Struts Are the Glam-Rock Style Gods We Need Right Now" - gives a sense of the band's M.O. The Glorious Sons, from Kingston, Ont, is a more recent arrival to the scene, selling out Rec Room in February. Those fans were treated to frontman Brett Emmons donning a retro Thurman Thomas Bills jersey on stage during a sweat-drenched set. The band's last full release was 2017's "Young Beauties and Fools," which included mega-hit single "S.O.S." that earned the five-piece a new wave of fans.
