Re: What concert did you recently attend?

2 weeks ago the wife and I went to the Royal Albert Hall in London and see the UK premeire of the Spandau Ballet film "Soul Boys of the Western World". After we saw that they done a 15 minute Q&A then played about 6 songs on stage, the first time in 5 years they have played together.
I'm a Duran Duran fan more but found the film very interesting.
This Sunday is our 1 year anniversary and I'm taking her up London for a gig where Tony Hadley is playing with a full orchestra. She doesn't know that yet.

Living Colour. I can count on one hand the number of guitar players that I can keep my eyes glued to for the entire show, and Vernon Reid is one of them.

Last Saturday: Country bro Justin Moore at State Fair. Not very good.

WEdnesday night: Darius Rucker aka HOOTIE at State Fair. Surprisingly very good. Played a nice mix of new country material, old Hootie stuff, and covers.

Last Night: Zac Brown Band at local shed. I love them and they delivered a good show, but it seemed kinf of vanilla for them as far as song choices. Lots of stupid awesome covers though (Enter Sandman, Piano Man, Devil Went Down to Georgia, Bohemian Rhapsody...)

Went to Pearl Jam in Moline, Il last night and show blew the minds of people who've been to 20-30 shows. Legendary performance. Doing entire No Code album in order after opening w/ Small Town.

Here is the opening song. Listen to the crowd Pearl Jams first show in Moline. Eddie even made new song Called Moline during the show. Epic. I went to Pearls Jams website and even their fans are losing their minds. It marked only the 2nd time in entire career they did entire album in order. Last time Eddie said was 1991.

Re: What concert did you recently attend?

I missed Of Montreal and Body Language in Minneapolis recently because I was simply away from home way too much in September and decided not to go. Too bad, because Body Language hasn't been here since 2008 or so (great Brooklyn band) and I've seen Of Montreal twice at First Avenue and they always put on a great show. At one of the shows, they started playing "I Was Never Young," the second track on The Sunlandic Twins, and I was thinking eh, okay. Not my favorite song, but whatever. And then they just blew me away, it was so good. They took the horn part and blared it super-loud and it dominated the room and made me love that song. For a long time, I resisted bands who made the live performance drastically different than the album version (I'm looking at you, Billy Corgan) but this is one case where I wish the version on the record was the same as the excellent live version!

You folks have me stoked to see Pearl Jam in St. Paul tomorrow night. We have fan club tickets so we won't know our seats until we get there. No Code is the first record of theirs my friend and I drove out of town to buy on release day because there was no way it was showing up in our tiny little town so it has a special place in my memory banks. This will be my fifth Pearl Jam show overall and I'm hoping for a great show poster I can custom frame and hang with the others (I don't have a poster for the Rapid City show with Frank Zappa in 1998, unfortunately).

I just listened to the Moline show bootleg and I'm pumped up all over again. Rolling Stone even did an article about the show last night. Still blown away.

Re: What concert did you recently attend?

Saw Judas Priest and Steel Panther last night.

Steel Panther were more fun that I expected. The songs are adolescent (Pussywhipped, Glory Hole, Smells Like Sushi) but they're catchy, and the stage banter, which sometimes went on a little too long, was funny. You can tell they usually play smaller venues, as they rarely got more than 10 feet away from the drum riser, but they did put on a good show, and it was a rare case where the crowd responded very well to an opening act. I'd see them again.

Judas Priest still have it. Halford still sounds strong, and he's getting around better than he was the last time I saw them (2008). The loss of KK Downing really didn't affect things much either.

Spoiler:

They played several selections from the latest CD which fit well with the older material. While they didn't play my favorite Priest song (The Sentinel) they did play three tracks from Defenders of the Faith. Most of the fan favorites were included, but no Diamonds and Rust or Hellion.Electric Eye.


The Priest set was about an hour 40 or so, and they went straight into the encore, as opposed to 10 minutes of chanting "priest, priest, priest" in a darkened arena. That was nice.

One thing I really enjoy at these shows is seeing some of the metal shirts that people sport, especially really old shirts or relatively obscure bands. Saw a couple of Mercyful Fate shirts, an old Carnivore shirt, and a guy in an Earth, Wind and Fire shirt(!).

Went to Pearl Jam last night in Saint Paul. It was a really good show all around I thought. They played a little over three hours and played a pretty diverse amount of their catalog. My only slight disappointments were that the show poster sold our before I could get one and I was hoping they'd close with Yellow Ledbetter, which is kind of cliche but it's one of my favorite songs of theirs.

I wish more bands would do tours like Pearl Jam does, especially if they've been around for 20+ years. When a band has 8 or more albums, and still only plays for 60-90 minutes, it's kind of disappointing.

Moline was awesome.

Milwaukee last night was pretty great, too - Yield front-to-back this time!

Yeah I respect the hell out of Pearl Jam and really any band who plays a long show. A lot of bands barely go two hours before calling it quits but for a band that's been around as Pearl Jam has and to play for over three hours pretty much whenever they perform is impressive.

Seeing Paul Barerre and Fred Tackett (of Little Feat) in an acoustic gig on Saturday night up in Indy. I've seen them many times - both with and without the full band - and they're amazing.

Of course, anyone here under the age of 40 (which is seemingly 90% of y'all) might not know about them. That's cool - it just means more for me.

Re: What concert did you recently attend?

Saw Paul McCartney last week in Atlanta. I didn't even know he was in town. Learned of it five hours before the show and quickly got a babysitter and tickets from Stubhub. It just dawned on me that I had never seen a Beatle in person and would have always regretted it. The set list was sick (half Beatles/half Wings). He sounds his age at 72. His voice truly is going, but it was still a fun evening and I'm glad we went.

I just saw McCartney in August and thought he sounded great for as old as he is so maybe he was having an off night or had a cold or something.

Sounds like an awesome show. I just saw them two weeks ago here in Tulsa and it was a 3 hour or so extravaganza. Thanks for posting the links!

That setlist from Moline did sound pretty cool but honestly I'm sort of glad they didn't do something like that at the show I attended. No Code isn't my favorite of their albums and I prefer more of a mixture I guess. It is cool though due to the fact that they haven't performed a whole album live since 1991.

Re: What concert did you recently attend?

we rarely talk about movie music but I attended a concert tonight from the National Symphony Orchestra and their 'Danny Elfman's Music from the Films of Tim Burton' performance - I was completely nerding out.

Act 1
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Pee-wee's Big Adventure
Beetlejuice
Sleepy Hollow
Mars Attacks! (with theremin)
Big Fish (underrated, under-appreciated score)
Batman/Batman Returns (wow... just wow - it sounded epic [and loud])

Act 2
Planet of the Apes
Tim Burton's Corpse Bride
Dark Shadows
Frankenweenie (the concert hall's organ was used for this - thumbs up!)
Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas (I love this score as well as the movie)
Edward Scissorhands
Alice in Wonderland
