Title: Live Music Thread
Post by: Oklahoma_Cat on June 24, 2008, 10:19:49 PM
Forget Rusty and that bananarama concert thing he went to.  Anyone going to any concerts this summer?

I am going to see Boston and Styx tomorrow night in OKC.  Pretty excited.  Although I just found out that neither band as the original lead singer.

I'd rather see my morning jacket than "panic", but that's just my imo, ya know?

Live music is fuggin' expensive unless it's a local band or at a club or something (and it's just about as enjoyable as a big show (see chum1's post in the comedian thread)).  I'd like to catch Dr. Dog at the Record Bar, too, now that I think of it.

Saw the Police and Wilco in May. Saw the Flaming Lips, Ben Folds, CAKE and a bunch of other groups at Wakarusa. Going to Tom Petty and then Gnarls Barkley in August. Also trying to catch Buckethead and That 1 Guy at the Granada in Lawrence and might get to go to Lollapalooza. I spend way too much money on live music.


Edit: don't know why I forgot it but I caught the last show for Kanye West's Glow In The Dark Tour and enjoyed it.

Going too, was thinking about lollapalooza but these are the two highlights for me.  Prob go to see bb king and willie nelson in alabama, austin city limits fest in the fall, and maybe a few odds and ends around kc.  Mad I missed French Kicks and Frightened Rabbit a few weeks back.

Title: Re: Live Music Thread
Post by: dr00d on June 25, 2008, 01:31:27 AM
Went to already:

Spoon
Raconteurs
Deathcab (buzz I)
Everclear (free at p&l)
Rockfest (STP!!!, Saliva, Shinedown, Sevendust)

Still to see, already have tickets:

Tom Petty
Foo Fighters

Haven't decided:
Bravery or Candlebox, Bravery is free at p&l, Candlebox is 20 at Voodoo (same night)
 :ohno:

Not going to see:
buzz II or 311, period.

Wanted to see:
Dave and boys (VH), Rush (same night as rockfest), and Police, but all these tickets were almost 100 a pop. and beyond their time.  meh.

On a side note, completely asinine move to hire Tanna back at another station after getting their ass sued with a age-discrimination suit.  I'm not sure if they wanted to cover their ass or if she is in bed with the boss but she sucks.  At least she will be on some crap station I don't listen to anyways.  :chirp:

Post by: MOKSUAZ on June 25, 2008, 08:28:25 AM

 :woot:, missed them at voodoo a few months back, but free is better

just saw the Flobots have a free concert at p&l end of july as well

Great story. Except for the fact that I went to Def Leppard the first time they played in Bramlage (Hysteria Tour-October 20 1988 - Row 35 Section 14 Seat 13). I know this because I'm looking at the ticket from said event which is conveniently stored behind the drivers license in my wallet.

Rick Daris: Although I am extremely jealous, I'm not too jealous.  Here's why.

A) I was five at the time of the Hysteria tour, albeit an awesome five year-old who loved Def Leppard and had every line of Hysteria memorized.  At five!  But obviously my parents wouldn't let me go to a Def Leppard concert then.
B) My dad, a snooty classical fan and opera history professor, had to take me.  He and my mom drew names out of a hat to see which one HAD to go.  He did EVERYTHING to try to dissuade me from going to that concert.   He even told me the day of the show that "their bus broke down in Omaha."  Bastard.  But I didn't believe him and we went anyway.  Then, while his third grade son is standing up with all the other 1/2 full crowd at Bramlage belting out "Make Love Like A Man," he sat there miserable, with earplugs in, reading a book on the composer Joseph Haydn.  Wonder if he was spotted at the Def Leppard show by any of his students?  The only regrettable part is that it started at least an hour and a half late, so, on rock star time, which gave him an excuse to make me leave early because it was "past my bedtime."  I absolutely have never forgiven him for this and never will.  It's nice because it gives me something to lord over his head whenever I want something out of him.  "Oh yeah?  You won't do this for me?  Hey, remember that time when I was eight and you made me leave the Def Leppard concert early?"  Then he gives in.  It's my version of the Michelle Tanner puppy dog lip.

Pretty great first concert story if you ask me. :dancin:

No way.  Really?  I was looking at his photos from that show literally one hour before I saw you post that.  Crazy coincidence, man,  Crazy coincidence.  Nick is a sweet dude.  I was, unknowingly, an enemy of his for years (not sure why) until we met and hung out for the first time.  Now we're buddies.  Is he settled in Pittsburg yet?

he might be a pretty good guitarist, but the single fact that every single I have heard from them is so very similar to Creed, I want nothing to do with it.

really?  personally i think they sound nothing like creed.  myles and stapp have no vocal similarities.  musically they've taken on a completely different sound than creed. mark has re-established the use of solo's in rock.  you wont find those "one finger, alternating between the bottom two string" solos anymore.  the guy's effing' insane.  now that they're getting older they are more self-sufficient and can write the music that they want.  plus, live they're bad ass.  last time i saw 'em live they took requests for a good 30 minutes and played every random song requested.  :hookem:

as far as it being completely safe, i haven't had any problems with it so far. they generally are just linked by people like you and me, with quite a lot of the links and downloads coming from music blogs and what have you. so i would say they are safe. there are a lot of other ways to get your music too, besides sordo, but it takes a while to find the sites that are of particular use for each person.

if i knew exactly what type of music you listen to i could definitely make some suggestions. pm me if you have any questions. you too waks.

p.s. sorry bout the Oink. there are a few other sites that are like oink that i am not a member of yet. when i do get invites i'll let the music crew know.
