Sweet! Thanks!
Will definitely be tuning in for Band of Skulls, Steve Earle, Jack White, Iggy, and a few others.
I'm tuned in already for First Aid Kit, War on Drugs, Delta Spirit, and Alabama Spirit. My wife didn't think she'd spend her 40th bday watching me on the couch w a beer in my hand :beer:
I wish I could have watched War on Drugs. Unfortunately, there was a test and a pep rally to supervise this afternoon. Happy birthday, Mrs. Mahg33ta!
Yeah, happy birthday Amy!!!
I had forgotten about Afghan Whigs being on the schedule tonight. Definitely tuning in for that.
Currently watching the A-Trak set and weeping for the future.

I would be watching Alabama Shakes if I hadn't just seen them last weekend. Sort of need to give them a rest. Actually was watching my MMJ Red Rocks DVD instead :cheesy:

The horns they brought out were awesome
I agree, Murph. This set was A bit more than I've seen from them.
Dilsnufus, the Red Rocks DVD is from this year's broadcast on axs. I think there's a thread somewhere that JohnnYYac posted a link to the file. He might have also burned some DVDs of the show for people too. I've got the file, but it's huge. It took three days to dl via BitTorrent. When I get to a computer later today, I'll try to find the thread, of you haven't found it by then.

I loved The Afghan Whigs set, Whippy! I quit watching after that. Florence just doesn't do it for me.
I had the opposite reaction- hadn't seen Alabama Shakes for a while and really liked em. I do get tired of them with overexposure. I agree the horns were a nice touch. Every time I see "You Aint Alone" I'm amazed at how she captivates an audience.
I thought War on Drugs was only ehhh- but it's so hard in the afternoon at a festival, no?

I think War on Drugs falls into the rare category of a band that I'd rather listen to their records than listen to them live, but man I do love their records. Maybe im wrong, hopefully im wrong, I've never seen them live but every live video I have seen of them I end up thinking to myself, "ehh sounds better on the record". Can someone prove me wrong? Show me a killer live video??
Ok, today at 7pm I can either watch Bassnectar highlights (is there such a thing?) or Andrew Bird....I think I'll be going to the Fainting Goat Festival for an hour or two around then. Nobody makes Fully watch the Bird ....well, except for the Jacket. I'd do it for them, but nobody else.
Fully, if you're not planning to already, definitely watch Band of Skulls if you can. Awesome heavy, bluesy rock in the vein of Jack White.
Regarding War on Drugs, I just saw them for the first time in a club last week and was actually very impressed and thought they were quite good live. Lots of bands fall flat in the middle of the afternoon at a festival, so that may not be the best thing to judge them on. I will say, though, they ended their set with a long jam that went nowhere and was very pointless and boring.
Dillinsfus and Fully, I got a Blu-Ray DVD copy of the MMJ Red Rocks show from another forum member. If you guys (or anyone else) needs it, let me know and we can figure out how to make copies of it and get it your way. I don't have any means to copy DVDs but I'm sure we can find a way.
WHOA WHOA WHOA, I missed the Shakes webcast, but they brought out horns?!?! I've been begging for this! What tunes did they add horn arrangements to???

O, I wish I could tell you, but my memory is a little fuzzy from yesterday. I know I liked it. That I do know.
Whippy, I'm good on the Red Rocks DVD. I was trying to help out Dilsnufus. It sounds like you might be able to help him better than I can though.

I already PM'd the Dil-ster about the Red Rocks DVD, but I can't copy the blu ray. If someone wants to crank out a bunch, I'm sure there would be many takers willing to cover the cost to do so. I've considered it, but I have spend so much on DVDs over the last few years, I'll let someone else do the blu ray.
Whippy, I missed Band of Skulls today, but I've seen them before several years ago. They are not bad at all. I don't know why I haven't listened to them more over the years.

The Band of Skulls set ended up being a huge disappointment. They had to leave stage after two songs when the guitar shorted out due to a huge rainstorm that was coming through. There was then a 10-15 minute break. They came back and played 3-4 more songs and then left the stage with a full 15 minutes left in their set time. WTF?
Watched the Jack White set and he killed it.
In other news, "Walk Like a Giant" still sucks.

Really hope this trend continues. For future tours, I kinda hope the Shakes go the "soul" route as opposed to the "rock" route and add a horn section. It'd beef up the sound in a way that would satisfy my soul.
I got to see the Shakes at both ACL and an afterhours show with Lee Fields (AMAZING) as the opener. They took it to a different level on their afterhours show. It seems the direction they are going is more rock n roll in the vein of 50's/earlys 60's rock sound based on the new stuff they played.. All knee slappers for sure! It was awesome finally being able to see them after not being able to get tickets to two of their Chicago shows before I moved to Austin (sold out and none available on Stubb Hubb)..
