It really depends on the night with them imo. You'll see some mic swinging one way or the other, but they (read: Adam) don’t always sound that good. Im sure there’s some other TBS fans on here. Someone used to have a The Story So Far icon, I’d bet they’re one, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Barre of Jethro Tull next weekend, Jon Anderson of Yes in June, The Hives in September, and I'm seeing BEAT King Crimson with Adrian Belew, Tony Levin, Steve Vai and Danny Carey in October. Did not know that existed. Crimson without Fripp just seems wrong but enjoy. Going to see The National with The War On Drugs in October. Saw Chelsea Wolfe just a little while ago.

I saw the last King Crimson tour with Fripp, the big 8 piece group with three drummers. I'm not sure what to expect with this BEAT edition of KC but I'm a fan of both Belew and Levin. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted May 8 Report Share Posted May 8 I usually attend this event in person but I skipped it this year. They feature 3 days of showcase concerts with new artists but they do have The Black Crowes this year. Here's the performance schedule: https://www.ticketsignup.io/TicketEvent/NONCOMM2024/Page/MeetingSchedule https://xpn.org/non-comm-virtual/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clink Posted May 11 Report Share Posted May 11 Getting to see Jon Anderson will be a dream, fulfilled ❤️ I've seen Yes, without Anderson, and that singer blew out his voice during "seen all good people..." Now, I get to experience THE voice of Yes!!! Frigging psyched for this! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are playing the Hollywood Bowl in September. I had the chance to buy presale to the public but held out and may buy on secondary market if it makes sense. LMK your thoughts on the show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doohickie Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 (edited) On 4/30/2024 at 7:04 AM, Doohickie said: We've got tickets to see Suzy Bogguss two weeks from Saturday. She's a country artist that had some good songs/hits out in the 90s; we have one of her CDs. Pretty relaxed country, lots of steel guitar. One thing that made me decided to get tickets is that she's playing a small venue, fewer than 200 seats, so it should be a good chance to see the musicians up close. This was one her bigger hits, a remake of an old Judy Collins song: Suzy Bogguss was outstanding tonight. Every song was great. It was just her on vocals and rhythm acoustic guitar, and a stand-up bass player and lead guitar who both provided backup vocals. The sound was great. This pic is from the last row (the venue only has about 200 seats). Edited May 19 by Doohickie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveoath Posted May 20 Report Share Posted May 20 Tickets to see Jazz Sabbath have been ordered! Think Jazz covers of black sabbath songs. But with a funny fake backstory and Rick Wakeman’s son on piano. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weave Posted Sunday at 04:59 AM Author Report Share Posted Sunday at 04:59 AM If you have an opportunity to see Gary Clark Jr play, go. Saw him this evening at Artpark’s indoor venue. His past is very blues-centric, but his more recent work is leaning R&B. He still infuses every song with fantastic bluesy guitar work. His guitar work is top notch and he’s an excellent vocalist. And the backing band was super solid. The band was tight. He’s pretty much a stand in front of the microphone and play/sing performer. He’s not the most energetic guy on stage, but definitely puts a ton of energy into the music. A few songs in his guitar died. He said into the microphone “I think I broke it”, put it down, grabbed the mike out of the stand and said “I guess I am a lead singer now” and moved on with the song and the set without skipping a beat. And he worked the stage and crowd like any good frontman would. He could readily transition into a singer/frontman and be excellent doing it. The technicians fixed his problem after a couple of songs and he moved right back into guitar/lyrics behind the mike and completed a terrific show. Dude impressed me with his professionalism and polish. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAud Posted Monday at 03:00 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 03:00 PM Next concert up for me is this coming Saturday. It's a bucket list item; the Grand Ol Opry in Nashville. They announce the acts as you get closer to the date. So far, 5 of the 8 or 9 we'll see have been announced. One of the announced acts is Loretta Lynn's granddaughter who was just on American Idol (I didn't see it) and another is golden oldie Crytal Gayle who is Loretta's sister, so I would guess they do a song or two together. If anyone has any Opry stories or insights I'd be happy to hear them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excited to see one of the last remaining Beatles! Saw the All Starr Band in Canandaigua two years ago with my youngest daughter. It's such a fun show. Ringo is 83! I remember seeing him at 81 and thinking it would be great to be that capable and healthy as he was then, when I reach that age. He had one minor 'senior moment' but made light of it and just kept on going. His band was so great. Edgar Winter is amazingly talented. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Noggin Posted 5 hours ago Report Share Posted 5 hours ago Khruangbin tonight at AKG in the rain was solid. Better than when they played Artpark a couple years ago; they're growing as musicians and as performers. Good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
