My daughter has been waling around feeling special. She was on Seatgeek for the Arlington shows (seatkeek official partner of jerry jones), and about 11:15am it just took her to the ticket selection and got 4. Then she watched Tiktok the rest of the day of pissed off people. Kids these days...
November 17, 20223 yr Billy strings is incredible live. He plays like a mad man. You won’t be disappointed. IMG_8411.MOV IMG_8411.MOVYeah I saw him open for Willie a couple months ago. Really looking forward to a full set.
November 17, 20223 yr I saw Smashing Pumpkins in ‘94 at lollapalooza at the starplex in dallas. They were an indistinguishable wall of noise. I was really looking forward to seeing them but was disappointed. I swore I’d never see them again but the good reviews in this thread are making me reconsider.
November 18, 20223 yr Fun Lovin’ Criminals last night. They sounded pretty good. About 40 people in the audience. IMG_0138.MOV
November 18, 20223 yr the 1975 was incredible. ridiculous band, ridiculous singer, ridiculous songs but it all works much better than it should.

November 19, 20223 yr On a day like this, should I expect Stubbs to be canceled tonight? I promised that I'd take the boy to go see Cory Wong. ugh

November 19, 20223 yr Just now, freyguy said: Clearly "Cats in the Cradle" is a comedy to you. 🤣 Hey, at least I took him. He was miserable anyway. He was probably 7 years old at the time, and that kind of volume was pretty overwhelming. Some nice lady gave him some earplugs, though, so that helped.
November 19, 20223 yr We bought High Water tickets the other day. This will be our fourth time to go. Shovels & Rope does a great job with this event.
November 20, 20223 yr Finally got king George knocked off the list. Dickies arena is pretty damn fine setup.

November 23, 20223 yr Friday night; 1st time in... what, ?22 years? that I have been to Luckenbach (very convenient for us as it was only a 45 minute drive). Shane Smith & the Saints. Very crisp 45ish degrees. Chase (the bass) actually had pants on & Bennett (fiddle) was wearing real shoes vs. hippie sandals. I'll say it again - if you're any kind of Americana / (not pop) C&W with REAL songwriting, you should check them out. Also, if you watch the Paramount show "Yellowstone", they have had some songs used in some episodes & the "wedding scene" from this past release has them as the band.
November 23, 20223 yr I didn't realize Spiritbox was so popular. Emo's is sold out within a few days, and of course, I FAFO. If anyone knows anyone who has one, let me know, otherwise, I'll get raped by StubHub.
November 26, 20223 yr King's X killed it tonight at Come And Take It Live in Austin. I thought there were two openers but the middle band didn't play so King's X went on at 9pm and just destroyed. The set was heavy on the new album (which was fine with me) but the big surprise was what they didn't play. I'll omit song titles in case any of you are going to Houston and want to be surprised.All in all, a fucking great show from a fucking great band.

Took my son (his first "real" concert), and he asked if I was ready to go, I told him "they still haven't played ____ or _____". As they started talking down the drum set he just said "I got bad news for you dad."
November 28, 20223 yr Any good shows in town to check out next month on the 6th? Big or small, just looking to take in a show.
November 29, 20223 yr Little Feat is playing at the Paramount on Sunday 12/4. They will be playing "Waiting for Columbus" in it's entirety.
November 29, 20223 yr Boston next weekend. Thurs: Holiday Pops at Symphony Hall Fri: Czarface (as part of a holiday variety show) at the Wilbur (It might just be 7L and Esoteric, still don't know if Inspectah Deck will be there) Expect both to be a fun time, will have to pack my nice boots.
November 30, 20223 yr Any good shows in town to check out next month on the 6th? Big or small, just looking to take in a show.If I’d have seen this three days ago I’d have said “Band of Heathens at Antones on Sunday 11/27”. Sorry. It was awesome
November 30, 20223 yr 3 days ago it still would've been a useless recommendation for a concert to see on 12/6.
December 3, 20223 yr Wet Leg tonight. Fun as hell. IMG_5582.MOV Modest Mouse in two weeks - playing Lonesome Crowded West in its entirety. So so excited.
December 6, 20223 yr Had to give up my Foals ticket for tomorrow. Daughter’s chorus concert. No ragrets.
December 6, 20223 yr A few shots from Experience Hendrix last night. Really enjoyed Eric Johnson and DB2. Definitely not enough Dweezil. Slide Brothers were good but not totally my style. Wylde very talented but man he's overpowering. Really impressed by Cesar Rosas and of course KWS brought down the house. Chris Layton played for a good 3+ hours straight.

December 6, 20223 yr Had to give up my Foals ticket for tomorrow. Daughter’s chorus concert. No ragrets. Foals are a great live band. I know what I’d choose.
December 6, 20223 yr If you want to go to the best part of Florida and see a singer songwriter deal check this out https://www.30asongwritersfestival.com/lineup. There are a lot of artist in small venues, like less that 200 seat total.
December 6, 20223 yr Thinking about a destination festival for Texas Country, Outlaw type music. Reckless Kelly, Randy Rogers, Casey Donahew, Colter Wall type stuff. Don't have any experience with any of them, so I don't know what is available. Would prefer if they have premium seating packages available for the olds who don't want to stand and are willing to pay for convenience. I have seen pics of Steamboat, Cabo, etc. but want to solicit opinions and ideas if any are willing to offer. Destination can be domestic or international. Just want a good time in a distant land. TIA.

Mrs C-Man and I are going to see tomorrow night's show in Dallas. I'm digging through recent setlists to see what we can expect. I'm praying we get "Night on the Sun" in the encore.
December 7, 20223 yr Just got an email from ACL Live that the Mezzanine seats will be sold via a premium seat licensing scheme. No info was included on the license price. Each seat license does not include any tickets, just the right to buy those seats first.

December 7, 20223 yr Not Pantera. Yes Pantera. 2 night concert and I believe they are playing along with Mammoth on Frida night.
December 8, 20223 yr On 12/6/2022 at 6:22 PM, The Ace of Aces said: Philly Have fun. It wound up being a pretty good show. I wasn't overly familiar with a lot of Lonesome Crowded West other than "Trailer Trash" and "Bankrupt on Selling" before listening through earlier in the week. We saw them at High Water Fest in Charleston in April and that was the only other time I've seen them before. Needless to say early MM is different than "Float On" or some of their other more-approachable work. I nearly pulled the ripcord within 15 mins of walking into Southside Ballroom last night for a couple of reasons -- first, it was fucking jam packed. I haven't seen that many people in that venue since maybe Ryan Bingham three or four years ago. It was uncomfortably full. I also knew my wife wasn't really super-pumped about the show. I'm glad we stuck it out, though, because I enjoyed it. I think she liked it more than she expected. And the people watching was top-notch. MM draws an, ahem, interesting demographic. I can't put my finger on exactly what it is but there were a lot of rough-looking folks in the crowd.

I’m stoked. we also got vip tickets for a table on the balcony cause I’m too old to be pushed around a floor now.
