I have tix to see Guns N Roses on July 21 at Wrigley. It is a rescheduled show from 2020 and a gift to my brother who proposed seeing them. I just also got tickets to see Bob Mould for a solo electric show in my town on October 16th.

I have a good friend who is just 20 who is coming to MSG to see the Eagles this weekend. He is beyond excited! He's been playing Eagles music at the greenhouse for a month or so (taking me back....) He also has a goal of finding a $100 steak dinner :D He's a good kid.

George Clinton is about to go on stage at Forest Hills NOW

Johnny Lunchbucket Aug 20 2021 09:21 PM Re: Are You Ready To Sweat? - Live 2021

This was a festival style, free show the city put on to encourage vaccines. Get in with proof. 3 hours of classic survivors of 80s and 90s hip hop, 2 of Clinton all-stars circa 2021, so hip-hop + psych funk. Live rap isn't great and bleacher seats... back hurts. Highlight was surprise appearance by DMC but not Run. Also EPMD, The not dead member of Mobb Deep, Too $hort who did a Lotta stuff about bitches and pu$$9$,, kid n play's DJ, etc. George Clinton is 80 years old. Sits while his band and dancers do most of the work. Great guitar and bass player but exhausting 😴

Eric Martin (the frontman from Mr. Big) is out on tour with Steve Brown & PJ Farley (the guitarist and bassist from Trixter) and they played to a very spread out fifty people here in Rochester last night and it was SO much fun.

I have tix to: The Pixies on 9/10 Yo La Tengo on 9/19 Whether these shows happen or not is still up in the air, I guess. Capitol Theater is now requiring vax proof to get in and encouraging masks once inside

Yeah I don't think Joey was planning on driving in a hurricane to NYC

I was curious how the Eagles are going to play without Glen Frey and I see they've gone the Jason Bonham route and replaced him with his son, Deacon Frey. Also, country singer Vince Gill has become an Eagle.

Yo La Tengo puts on a good show. I've seen them 3 or 4 times I think.

I went to see the benefit that Steve Earle put on for his autistic son's school last night at Town Hall. I've got a few times before, Steve always asks his famous friends to do a set. In past years I've seen Graham Nash, Sean Colvin, Tedeschi Trucks, Warren Haynes, Emmylou Harris and Lucinda Williams. Last year was virtual - missed that one. This year the show went this way: 2 songs by the Mastersons (a husband and wife team who are part of the Dukes, Steve Earle's band) 3 pieces by a jazz pianist who is autistic and a graduate of the school. 3 songs by Willie Nile. He totally rocked. 3 songs by Roseanne Cash and her husband, John Lebenthal. She was great and does a particularly nice version of "Long Black Veil" After a talk by the director of the school we got... 4 songs by Bruce Springsteen. Bruce played with the Dukes and sounded great, doing "Darkness On the Edge of Town," "The Promised Land." "Glory Days" (with Willie Nile) and "Pink Cadillac" (with Steve Earle) Then a set of about 10 songs by Steve Earle and the Dukes Finished off with "Teach Your Children" with everybody which ends all of these concerts. It was pretty great to see Bruce in a small theater rather than a stadium or giant arena. A very satisfying night. Also, seeing Yo La Tengo on New Years Eve at City Winery (an early show).

I'm stupidly excited about a return to some live music. Our last show was Pinegrove on Feb 18, 2020 at Meow Wolf in Santa Fe. A show so good and at the coolest venue, it really helped get us through ~22 months without in-person entertainment. Now that tix for stuff are back on sale, I'm buying like a guy who didn't routinely skip shows as recently as 2019 because I was "kinda tired". On the sked: John Moreland Clem Snide Sierra Ferrell Jose Gonzalez Waxahatchee Snail Mail Colin Hay Hovvdy (creators of my #1 rekkid of 2021) And that takes us only through May. I'm CAHNfindent my attendance won't be 100% (4 of those are an hour drive) plus I'd be kinda shocked if omicron doesn't insert itself here somehow, but hey ho let's go!

Johnny Lunchbucket Dec 14 2021 01:17 PM Re: Are You Ready To Sweat? - Live 2021

Yeah that sounds like a great show. Willie Nile is bringing it for that whole generation. He's Mr. Fucking Rock Lives

Rolling Stone gives a Springsteen-heavy review of Steve Earle's/Sharpie's show.

And, look, I don't begrudge these guys anything. You created it, you have the right to gather every penny you can for it. It's just that I fear what could be the result of all this stuff. Listening to Joni Mitchell's URGE FOR GOING recently I suddenly was hit with a fear of hearing that played underneath an adult diaper commercial in the not too distant future.
