What Show Did You Just See?

[manonthemoon]

Caught a bunch of great shows this month after a few months off with the newborn.
DBT 3/4-5/16 in DC were fantastic, especially night two where they seemed so stoked to be playing

Deer Tick 3/10/16 DC did the soundcheck thing with the little one, was really awesome and McCaulley want to hold her which was pretty cool.  Show was amazing as well,and a few new songs were played including Only Love which is awesome but way more subdued than your typical DT show.  The only major downside was the opener, I have finally found a band that I think is worse than Fidlar, reminded me of a sleep commercial.

Decible tour with Abbath, High on Fire, Skeletonwitch, Tribulation, Horrendous 3/17/16 Baltimore 
I know most on here aren't metal heads, but dear god if you want to see the definition of riff you have to catch a High on Fire show somewhere.  Pike is so much better now that he's sobered up and he's always been one of the best even prior.  Face melting to an extreme level.

J Roddy Walston and the Buisness 3/18/16 DC
Always loved these guys, but last night's show was the best I have ever seen by them.  Off the chart energy, he was everywhere crowd was totally into it.  Definitely excited for the new album their working on.

Did they break out any new material? Seeing them 5/6 in Philly & it'd be sweet to hear some new songs. Excited for the new album as well

No, I was expecting to hear something new since they are in studio recording, but after speaking to the merch guy for a while it doesn't seem like the new album will be out till late fall or next year possibly by the way he was talking.

Meh, wishful thinking I suppose. Thanks for the intel!

Just saw The Moody Blues last week, followed by an amazing performance a few days later by the cast of "Once: The Musical" (even had to buy the CD).  I highly recommend seeing if if you like musicals and off Broadway stuff.

Spent the weekend watching The Mountain Goats in Woodstock, New Haven, and Providence.  The shows were fantastic and they did a great job of reworking some of the songs and giving them a little stripped down adaptations and JD pulled out some nice rare songs each night.

Saw Dave Rawlings Machine at the beautiful Brown Theater last night!
We were front row behind the pit.
AMAZING INCREDIBLE show, could not have loved it more.
They are some incredible musicians and singers. just awesome!
Played a lot of their last album and some really great covers: Queen Jane Approximately, Cortez the Killer, Going Down the Road Feeling Bad, plus more.

I HIGHLY recommend seeing them if you can. In Bloomington, IN tonight.

Saw Taj Mahal Trio Saturday night in a tiny theater with like 300 people there.
He is so awesome! so fun. Loved this show. so glad we went.

Hmmmm - Saw Steve Hackett on April 19 in Durham, NC.  It was the last date for the US tour.  He did 1/2 set solo work and finished up the second set with early Genesis that included Cinema Show and Musical Box.  Superb!  I got to have coffee the next morning with him and his wife and discuss the state of political affairs in NC, because my first ever Pearl Jam concert was cancelled for that evening.

Next show was The Smashing Pumpkins this past Wednesday - also a first for me.  It was subdued. I didn't realize it was largely an acoustic show, so 1/2 the set was either really lovely or a tad on the boring side when you are expecting bass heavy distortion from an electric set.  Still the second set was the band, electrified, and it was a joy that was really overshadowed by the incredibly rude talkative audience that surrounded me.  Maybe they were bored with the acoustic?  I dunno, but they were the most disrespectful crowd that I have ever seen and it sucked the energy from the band and the performance.  After viewing recordings from The Masonic in SF, it was evident that our audience blew this show. Too bad.

Widespread Panic is my boyfriend's favorite band and we go see them a lot.
Have been reading interviews that they're stopping touring after 2016. Not forever but will just play a few shows a year, 2-3 night runs and places like Red Rocks, etc.
Saturday afternoon we were discussing if we will ever see them again and looking at their current dates and realized the show Sunday night was not on the outskirts of Cleveland like we thought, 5-6 hours away, but it was around Dayton, OH, more like 2 1/2 hours away...so we bought tickets!! And got our 2 friends to go as well.
So we went last night to what was possibly our last show and it was crazy! cool new venue. outdoor amphitheater with a roof but totally open on the sides. Crazy night of storms and pouring rain, a tree fell over the highway and our ride there was an extra hour and 20 minutes, but still so so worth it!
Got home at 1:30 am and woke up at 6:45 for work...

What a story, ha!!

I saw them in Birmingham on the 23rd with Tedeschi Trucks Band, and I have to say it was one of the best shows ive been to in my life. Encore lasted 49 minutes, with TTB up there the whole time, and ended with a crazy rendition of "You can Alway Get What You Want".....definitely worth going to take a listen on panicstream.com if you get a chance.

Sturgill Simpson put on a great show Tuesday! He opened with four songs before playing all of Metamodern Sounds In Country Music straight through with a couple of covers mixed in, and then finished with playing all of A Sailor's Guide To Earth straight through. Ended up playing 24 songs in almost 2 hours.

Last show I saw was a fluke!  Boston cancelled all of their shows in NC so I had nothing better to do.  I decided to go see KIEFER SUTHERLAND.

I was pleasantly surprised.  He writes his own material and threw in 3 covers for the show.  It's got a country blues rock vibe.  Met him before the show too.  Very nice, very humble man.

Opening for Kiefer was Austin Plaine.  He was quite good and sounded a little like...oh, I dunno....MMJ?  So I asked at the merch table if he liked Jacket.  His response?  "I'm a HUGE Jim James fan!".

EAGLES OF DEATH METAL!!!!  I was front row at Lupo's in PVD--right by Jesse.  That guy is a GREAT frontman, super laid back funny and wicked engaged with his fans! He even commented on how much he like my shirt (his face is cartoon with his goatee in the shape of the letters "EODM".     Loved it so much I grabbed tix for the House of Blues Boston show beginning of June, CAN'T wait!
