Gugny Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 So far, the only thing I've got tickets for is Joan Jett at the Albany Palace Theater in a couple weeks. Small venue (under 3K), orchestra seats, center stage. This is a Covid make-up show, so we've been waiting a while! A couple weeks ago, I took my son to see Korn (arena show (MVP in Albany) - same size as MSG). He enjoyed it; not my cup of tea. Lots of arena and stadium tours scheduled and it will be fun to share who's going to any upcoming shows; as well as get some reviews! Rock on!

I'm really intrigued by the Nick Mason tour and I see he's playing in NYC (Beacon Theatre, which is a perfectly sized venue) in December. Looking forward to your review!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 How are you all tracking upcoming shows in your area? Pollstar has moved to subscription, and the free Artvoice/Creative Loafing type papers are dead. I'm having to visit each individual venue's website and it's a PITA.

Individual artist and/or venue searches. Very difficult in the NYC area, because there are venues there that I don't even know about. There's a website for the city, but it lists every gig in the city - including just regular bar bands - and it takes FOREVER to navigate through. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to your review!! I can do that now. We have seen him twice (once live and another time virtually at The Roundhouse in London). He has a great band and I enjoy older Pink Floyd tunes. The band does not play the old tune exactly but does some improvisation. We enjoyed it so much that we are going again. I believe some different tunes from their first NA tour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe they have enough demand for SPAC. I'll wait till they hit the Palace in a few years. Same with Norah Jones. Of all the SPAC shows, I think the only one I can see myself going to is REO/Styx. These bands have priced me out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullBuchanan Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Saw Flogging Molly and Tommy Emmanuel so far this year. Forgot I had tickets to see Dropkick Murphys, so missed that one sadly.

Years ago, I saw REO/Styx/Journey (in that order) and I thought REO was the best band of the night without question. This was before the little Filipino guy took over for Journey, so it's been a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to your review!! Definitely go see this if you are a Pink Floyd fan! In fact I recommend springing for good seats if you can. Gary Kemp is a wizard - he does a great job emulating PF sounds with whatever box he has attached to his guitar. They perform a lot more obscure material, which is great for diehard fans. I recommend not looking at setlists prior to your show to keep the surprise factor intact. Lots of fun, worth every penny imo. Roger Waters later this summer, Tedeschi Trucks Band x2 at Red Rocks, Umphrey's McGee x 2 Gov't Mule spring tour got postponed after Warren fell on his shoulder and fractured his scapula while on vacation in Costa Rica - ouch.

On that note, I am a strictly Waters-era Pink Floyd fan - including the Syd-era; so the Mason show sounds fantastic. I'm heavily leaning toward going. I saw Waters do the Wall at MSG back in 2010 and it was amazing. That said, I never cared for his solo stuff, so I'm skipping this year's tour. Seeing a show at Red Rocks is something I'd love to do someday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't listened to Pros&Cons or Radio KAOS in ages, but Amused to Death in my opinion is the best solo PF album of them all and it still finds its way into my rotation. For what it's worth, Rog is on record saying this is his farewell tour. Hit me up if you ever need a place to stay for a Red Rocks show, I'm only 15 minutes away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPOILER ALERT Bassist Guy Pratt told us that during the 94 PF tour rehearsals Gilmour asked the band if there were any old PF songs they wanted to do. Immediately Guy said "The Nile Song!" to which a cringe-faced Gilmour told him he could kindly go find another band! And, as Guy puts it, that's exactly what he did! So Saucerful has done this one - as far as I know that's the only one from More but I have not reviewed every setlist. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 I just saw Sparks Wednesday in Boston. In a theater right across the street from where Chris Rock was performing, btw.

WotAGuy Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Bonnie Raitt in April Joe Jackson in May Jackson Browne in July Lyle Lovett in July maybe Decemberists in August, but it’s an outdoor lawn-only venue and just not into that anymore.

qwksilver Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Hard Rock Live in Hollywood FL (the Guitar shaped resort) has a new 7000 seat venue. I just checked their schedule. Paul McCartney is playing May 25th. That looked interesting, until I saw the 4 digit prices. C'mon! The Who are playing in there in 3 weeks and only $160 each. That's a maybe as I've never seen them.
