What concerts/shows have you been to lately?

[Angel Dog and Beer]

What Indian casino was this at?

lol @ indian casino. That would've been an upgrade.

 

 

What color is your lady?

 

Well, 1-1/2 white people, technically.

 

 

 

When a no-name local comedian opens for a musical act, you know you're in for a quality evening.

Beer is good

Last week I saw Butch Walker at The Bootleg Theater in Los Angeles.  Fantastic show, but he always is.

 

A month ago I saw Jimmy Gnecco (Ours) do a "secret" acoustic show at The Slidebar in Fullerton.  That dude's voice is insane.

[Jimmag]

Black Sabbath last month in Irvine.

 

Flashback Jack at Honda Center Saturday lineup was: Berlin, Sugarland Gang, The Fixx, Psychedelic Furs, Adam Ant and Blondie. Fun show!

I love the Santa Barbara Bowl. Great venue. Saw Grace Potter and Robert Plant there earlier this summer. Gonna see Gary Clark Jr at the Wiltern tomorrow night after work. Saw him last year at the Troubadour and he was fantstic.

I see a ton of bands, tho. My favorite way to pass a crappy baseball season. Saw Butch Walker last week at the Bootleg, and he was great!

Love the Troubadour. I saw Arcade Fire play there on their first trip LA. Everyone on the floor dropped their jaws when they opened with Wake Up. Awesome show.

Love the Troubadour. I saw Arcade Fire play there on their first trip LA. Everyone on the floor dropped their jaws when they opened with Wake Up. Awesome show.

 

The Troubadour has some serious history. Especially in the 70s. Great place to see a band. When I first went there (more years ago then I'd like to admit) I was really surprised by how small it is.

Picked up tickets for Phosphorescent on Tuesday night at the El Rey. 

[TobiasFunke]

I went to the El Rey earlier this year for the first time. Man that place is awesome.

[Hot Damn!]

This year: Alkaline Trio (@ Fingerprints, Observatory, HOB), Hot Water Music @ Observatory, Chuck Ragan @ Observatory, Green day @ Fox Theater, Mumford & Sons in san bernardino, Old Man Markley @ slidebar and a few others I'm forgetting.

Going to see The Queers/Teenage Bottle Rocket next week.

Blake Shelton. He's as funny in concert as he is on The Voice. He had last season's winner Danielle Bradbury come out and sing a song too. Not sure if the other judges bring their team on tour with them. But I think that is a pretty cool thing that he doesn't have to do.

[BaseballMom]

I saw Styx at the OC Fair.....and The Monkees at the Terrace Theatre in LB (don't judge me)

[RePLAY]

This year: All 4 One, Color me Badd, Rolling Stones, NKOTB, 98 Degrees, Boys2Men, Backstreet Boys, Justin Timberlake, JayZ.....have tix to Maroon5, michael buble and Bon Jovi.

Who is better live NKOTB or 98 degrees?

The Chromatics and The XX were awesome last night. I forgot how awesome the sound is at the Hollywood Bowl minus the walk and terrible exit strategy.

The XX used the Hollywood Bowl symphony with their encore and that was rad.

Although, I'm reminded how I'm now the old guy that likes to sit in the back with $4 bottled waters and take in everything while getting annoyed at people next to me dancing and singing....granted, it wasn't that kind of show and they were drunk, but I've done the same thing or worse.

I didn't know you could bring in supplies to the venue. While it was a hipster convention full of rolled up skinny jeans and ankle boots, I've never seen such a collection of Trader Joe bags, surely with hummus and quinoa, and cheap bottles of wine.

And props to the band saying thank you many times and including that we came out while the Breaking Bad finale was on.

[Amazing Larry]

Bringing wine to that place is a good idea because the drink lines there are terrible.

[Brandon]

I've been there once before and with this time as well don't remember the lines being too bad. When we got waters it seemed normal and only because the people in front of us were stupid and couldn't read the menu then debates for a while whether to buy the $32 bottle of wine.

[Amazing Larry]

Must have been the crowd. Most times I've been there it's been tough to get a drink or take a leak.

[Amazing Larry]

I love that venue though.

[Brandon]

Possible because everyone had a Trader Joe's bag, ice chest, or some kind of food/beverage container. Even walking.g to the seats the lines elsewhere weren't bad and everyone was parked somewhere eating and drinking on the outskirts.

I guess when the cheapest ticket is $119 (she may have paid that for both, I don't know) you bring in your own supplies.

Went to 91x fest in San Diego a couple weeks ago.  The Dirty Heads, Jimmy Eat World, and Offspring were awesome.  Blink blew but that's to be expected from them.

[RePLAY]

Who is better live NKOTB or 98 degrees?

98 degrees can't dance. Zzzzzzzz.

[Amazing Larry]

Del is awesome. Seen him twice. Once on his own and once with the heiro crew. Looking to catch them when they tour for the new Deltron record. They performed with a full orchestra these days which is just awesome. 

 

 

Looks like he'll be playing at the Observatory in November.
