April 5, 20241 yr What part of dallas are you in? I’m in far north dallas near the tollway and bush. The tollway with its one lane exit onto 35 through the mavericks’ parking lot is a masterclass in bonehead design.You here?
April 6, 20241 yr Yeah. I just made it back to dallas. I was stage left in the shade cause that’s how I roll.
April 6, 20241 yr Yeah. I just made it back to dallas. I was stage left in the shade cause that’s how I roll. Good show! Appreciate the heads up.

April 10, 20241 yr Last night. Great show. Some fun surprises I won’t spoil in case others are seeing the tour. I love no-phone shows. It’s so nice just to enjoy the show without a sea of phones.
April 10, 20241 yr Man, just realizing the hectic schedule my wife and I have coming up in May: 5/2: Kurt Vile & the Violators in Dallas 5/10-5/12: Kilby Block Party in SLC (LCD Soundsystem, Vampire Weekend, Postal Service/Death Cab, Courtney Barnett, Yoke Lore, Interpol, Dinosaur Jr and others) 5/14: The Decemberists in Dallas 5/15: Phosphorescent in Fort Worth (live music for the fifth time in six nights) 5/25: Rainbow Kitten Surprise in Austin
April 10, 20241 yr i've also gone a little nuts recently haha... in the coming months we're going to: Black Pumas Gary Clark Jr. The Black Keys Glass Animals im not even seeking any of these out lol... i just keep randomly coming across mentions, look them up and i'm like 'huh...i can do that!' my mate (who is of a different generation and race) enjoys completely different genres of music...i don't think he's thrilled about tagging along 😄 we saw Glass Animals at Moody before we moved to Denver... he does actually enjoy them i think. he was surprised Dave Bayley was a wispy little brit lol. he said, quote, "that white boy's got some rhythm" 🕺 i do think he will enjoy the others...if he doesn't it's just i mean it's not like I'm dragging him to Tool 😆

The show itself was incredible. It was our first Springsteen concert and I’m kicking myself for not attending one when I was younger. During the show, Little Steven gestured for me to give him the hat I was wearing. He and Bruce took turns wearing it for nearly an entire song. To make the night even crazier, Bruce handed my daughter his harmonica after playing it. i agree, his show was amazing

April 12, 20241 yr Noticed The Mammoths are the opener before the opener for The Bright Light Social Hour. Sound really good.

April 14, 20241 yr saw the north mississippi allstars at antone's on friday night. had been a while since i had seen a good blues show. they had the guitarist/vocalist from blind boys from alabama with them and I really enjoyed his contributions. had been years since i'd seen nmas, still quite enjoyable. had my fill after 2 hours and got out of there, looks like they played another 5 or 6 songs. the number of 20 something females at the show was quite surprising.

I had a random VIP pass at ACL years ago, watched them from stage right. They impressed.
April 14, 20241 yr Enjoyed the Bright Light Social Hour/Mo Lowda show at the Scoot Inn. I was so happy we got there early enough to grab a spot right at the rail. Then my wife says, "hey can we upgrade to those spots on the rail?" which we did. Admittedly we had a good view and sat next to the parents of The Mammoths but I would have preferred to have been right up front. That and the constant yappers by the bar were a killer. Whyyyyy are you at a show? Shut up!?
April 15, 20241 yr My wife is at the Madonna concert. Apparently, Madonna doesn't allow venues to use air conditioning and she hasn't been hitting the stage until 10:30-11 every night. Her shows have been regularly ending between 12:30-1:00AM. It's like she doesn't know her fanbase goes to bed at 9PM. Edited April 15, 20241 yr by CooterBrown

Sounds super fun.Although now the wife and I can plan on a nice, late dinner. Then get to the show around 10:00, dressed pretty damned casually and comfortably.

Was she any good? She doesn't appear to be aging all that well. The plastic surgery probably doesn't help.

If the show had started at 8:45 and had the arena been at a comfortable temperature, I think the show would've been ok. But when she doesn't start until 10:30 on a Sunday night and doesn't want the a/c turned on, it's kind of easy to be put into a foul mood off the bat. Probably half the songs she played were some serious B-side shit. I mean, I know all of Madonna's hits. And she has a lot. I'm from the 80s, goddamnit. But I didn't know a lot of the stuff she played (and judging from the crowd reactions, I wasn't alone). And then she had two 15- or 20-minute little soliloquies, where she was trying to be deep and thought-providing, but was just vapid and trite and dull. I mean, that's a lot of content to have to slog through to get her to sing the songs you showed up to hear her sing. When she does sing those songs, it's pretty entertaining. She's not much of a dancer anymore, but her backup dancers are entertaining. And the whole staging is often pretty cool. But on the whole, . . . meh.
April 15, 20241 yr Bruce is in my area tonight but had to sell my tix after the first postponement due to getting laid off(2023) and then the show tonight not in the cards due to work schedule. Joe Jackson will be in my area end of May, anyone seen him recently? Not a huge fan but enjoy most of his work but tix are close to a $100 bucks and I know wife won’t go.

April 15, 20241 yr My wife thought it was meh. A lot of her older stuff was slowed down or dropped a key so she could sing it. She said Madonna looked like a toddler struggling to walk in mom’s high heels. Just own it. You’re almost 70. Put on those Sketchers. My wife left at 1:10 but didn’t know if there was an encore after that.

I saw Nitzer Ebb open for Depeche Mode in Dallas back in the day...probably the oddest bill I've seen. Only about 30% of us stayed for both Nitzer Ebb and DM. Front 242 was 100% the loudest show I've ever been too.

April 16, 20241 yr I mean what’s the point in not coming on until 10:30 or 11 and playing until the fucking bars close? And no A/C/ Forreals? What the fuck is that all about?
