The Live Music Thread

Saw Holly Golightly and The Brokeoffs again on Wednesday.

In my opinion this new material that Holly is doing with the Brokeoffs (or Dave as he's better known) is the best stuff she's ever done. The last 2 and a half albums hardly ever leave my turntable these days.

Can't wait for the next one.

Read my review of the No Doubt show | 6/13/09 Pittsburgh, PA

Rush told me to post this here so I am

I copy and pasted this from another forum I post at

My Review:

My Aunt and I showed up way to late and only caught the last two songs of The Sounds. Paramore definitely had a ton of fans there and their performance was impressive. First time I heard any of their music besides their Twilight video. I got one comment about the forum shirt. Really wish I had pit tickets so I could of met some forumers (pandakb I saw you holding your sign after UIA). No Doubt comes on and the place erupts. I had reserved seats and hopped/sung lyrics in my one place during Spiderwebs & Hella Good and was out of breath haha. Thank god UIA was next. Congrats to Matt Weyl for getting on stage and getting another picture with Gwen. I saw you holding your picture from the HL Tour also, that was so sweet.

So after Ex-GF Gwen says "were going to play a new song" and I lost it when they played DJ’s (Bradleyyyyyyyyyy), I swung my arms in the air and punched the guy in front of me on accident haha, felt like I was the only one that knew the lyrics too. I hope another show gets this treat, My favorite performance on LITTK and I got to see them play it live. Gwen got the crowd into SKOL and it was great hearing her sing it. I totally snanked to Guns of Naravone, great great song to dance to and it would be my dream to get on stage and dance with Tom, Tony, Gabe & Stephen during this. When Running came on I couldn't hold my tears in. I cried with my Aunt because we went to this show in remembrance for my cousin Monika, may she rest in peace. She was the person that got me into No Doubt during TK and she was a Gwenabee herself. Wish you were here girl.

Different People was the crowd pick-er-up-er and really enjoyed hopping with the rest of the crowd. Don't Speak comes on but it was a tad bit windy for my lighter to stay lit, boo. I really enjoyed IML live also. JAG was probably the crowd favorite. The boys in Pittsburgh were weak though when Gwen told us to say I'm just a girl. So on comes the encore (everyone is chanting Let's Get Back!) Adrian & Stephen come out in Crosby & Malkin jerseys, I called that from a mile away . S & D performance is to fun live. Last but not least they finish off with my all time favorite Sunday Morning and I nearly sprained my ankle hopping to it, I leave the show sweaty, dehydrated and a experience I will never forget. I am determined to relive this experience so I am getting tickets to Clevland on the 29th and possibly flying out to Glendale, CA in late July to visit family and try to score tickets to a So Cal show. I can't thank No Doubt enough for a wonderful time. Pure Sublime =]

I sit here @ 6 am and the sun is coming up so I'm blaring Sunday Morning I picked up the tour poster (orange with a piece bitten off), tour booklet, stickers and wristband.

Future of the Left tonight. Can't wait.

It gets a bit dry then until November when I'll be seeing The Specials, The Damned, Girlschool, Motorhead and Daniel Johnston all in less than two weeks.

Might pop along to see CJ Ramone in August as well and with new albums soon out there remains a chance that I might get to see Blyth Power, El May, Lullabye Arkestra and/or Devo (again) before I turn 32.

Sounds like fun.

Last concert for me was in May (Memphis in May music festival). I saw...

Theory of a Deadman - Second time I've seen them in concert. They are pretty good. They are an extraordinary band, but they are good and put on a good live show.

311 - Gods. Everything sounded perfect. They can pull all their shit off live. It was awesome.

Fall Out Boy - As expected, they absolutely sucked live. Horrible. I wouldn't recommend. They can't play their instruments worth a shit.

 

[calgaryballer]

Never mentioned my last show (I think). Went to the Von Bondies w/ the Racoons and some other band. Racoons were a suprise from Victoria and the Von Bondies were great live. You can tell they learned from the Detroit Garage rock scene. A lot of fun.

Next shows-

Possibly the Decemberists at Folk Fest
Aug 13 - Kings of Leon w/ Guests
Aug 15 - Silversun Pickups w/ Manchester Orchestra and someone else

Not that anyone cares about my No Doubt fanboyism, but I saw them again in Cleveland Monday and was blown away again. I actually met up with some people from their forum and had a great time. I even got my pit ticket signed by Gwen Stefani and Tony Kanal

The Opener, Bedouin Sound Clash (a reggae group out of Toronto I believe) were great. I listened to some of their music before the show and really enjoyed their set even though it was short.

Seeing Paramore for the 2nd time sucked. Like after the 3rd song their sound just like morphed into one. Hayley and the guys put on a show but the music doesn't appeal to me much.

If I'm in PA in August I might check out Blink182 in Pittsburgh

 

[DDRGuido]

Last show I went to was about 3 weeks ago - The Queers, The Mansfields, Hot Toddies, and the Badamps - and I had a blast. Only caught the tail end of the Badamps set, but they sounded alright. The Hot Toddies were pretty blah... and that's probably being very nice. If they weren't sort of cute, and I wasn't busy two fisting it, I would''ve been better off spending it outside chain smoking during their set.

The Manfields played a sweet mix of snotty Ramones inspired punk with obvious Cramps / Johhny Thunders and the Heartbreakers sounds as well as mixing in some surf and more traditional rock and rockabilly stylings. To say they were diverse is an understatement. I'd see them again.

The Queers were awesome. The sound pretty much blew, but Joe King played pretty much everything off of their first two awesome abums and mixed in some of their earlier, trashier, torrid trash rock classics like "Kicked out of the Webbelos", "This Place Sucks", and "I Want Cunt". I'm very glad to have finally seen this band that I swilled many brews to back in the mid 90's.

thrash:

Lahey, I'm assuming your going to the Seattle MMB show on the 12th. Do you or anyone you know that is going to that show will take pics (of the show and tour merch), record vids, get the setlist of the show? It's been over 10 years I think since the last time I saw them and wish I could but I dont have the funds to travel that much. Have fun at the show.

 

[Kuzzy Powers]

How about a little ROCK THE BELLS tmrw baby? Cannot waittttttt for that shit.

Thats cool that you got an autograph.. I know they were in town but by the time I inquired the tickets were by far sold out. I wanted to go, too.

I dont know if id call Bedouin Soundclash reggae, lol, but those guys are awesome. Love their sound. Very unique.

 

[DDRGuido]

DDR - I'm going to the show in Victoria BC on July 11. I'm not planning on taking any pics, but if I come across some I'll post them. I'll also try and cobble together their set list. I think I saw them last in 1998 - so it's been a long time coming for me also.

Ok, cool man, I appreciate any feedback you can post. I believe it was 98 when I saw them twice in Erie & London. London, Ontario not England. I was real young then but that's when Lets Face It came out.

I've watched some yt vids of the Toronto show, and they are such a great live band. Non stop energy for an hour and a half. I think that's why they sell out whenever they go on tour. This time around there are a lot more Gwen Stefani solo fans, but her music doesn't hold a candle to what No Doubt produces.

@ the show people were saying BSC was a reggae band haha. They def have a different sound and one of their songs totally reminded me of Sublime.

 

[MmmmBeeeeer]

Saw them at Carb day this year and it was boring as hell, but I love this performance:

[JBauerisGod]

Didn't actually see them in concert, but fuckin Buckcherry was playing a song live before the NASCAR race yesterday.

My ears proceeded to bleed for the next three minutes. They were doing their shitty cover of Highway Star. Honestly my mind cannot comprehend how terrible it sounded.

 

[BigHouseUSA]

I had tickets to Bonnaroo but my girlfriend and I sold them because we cut ties with the two other people we were going with, so missed that.

Now I have no clue what I'm going to do about shows. My girlfriend broke up with me, and she's the only person I'd go to shows with. So on my mind I have Andrew Jackson Jihad in July, they come to MT. Pleasant and Chicago, but I'd much rather go to Chicago, but everyone I know their is affiliated with my girlfriend. And I don't know anyone beside her that like them.

Someone wants to go to Lollapalooza with me but I'm not sure if I want to go with her, should probably order those tickets. It does look like I have someone to go see Andrew Bird, The Weakerthans, and Matt & Kim, but I'm still looking for a partner to see Regina Spektor.

Hopefully I get at least four of the six mentioned events.

Rock the Bells > any concert you will see this summer. If you like hip hop spend the money and go see this show, I promise you you will not be disappointed.

The price is heavy but it'll be worth it. Where are you seeing the show? I have to warn you that not all advertised artists are there.. you have to look on the website for whos going to be at certain shows.

Im goin to the one at the Comcast Center in Mass... I was going to go to New York but the tickets were like 100$ more for VIP... you went in Canada? I hear Common didn't show and Mos Def came through... Im just souped to see the RZA and Raekwon mostly...shit i got Wu-tang tattoos haha

 

[Kuzzy Powers]

Yeah Common didnt show and we luckily got Mos Def.. altho his was pretty disappointing.. he was fucking around too much and not doing any of his essentials.. But him and Talib did their Blackstarr shit and that was crazy.

Seems like you're going to get gipped out of a few guys yourself, but getting Gza and Raekwon is solid. Fuck Ice Cube and Busta for their lack of appearances. Rza was bonkers last nite.
