Thanks for the alert. I turned it on and was enjoying Tyler Childers for a few songs, until my wife had enough and demanded I hand over the remote.

Re: The Live Music thread...
I told brian about it via text, but the podcast hosted by their trumpeter/keyboardist and fiddle player called Ameri-Kinda is great. Basically, they pick a theme and play a bunch of songs* relating to that theme, then tell stories in between. The stories rarely have anything to do with the theme, more like how fucking awful it sounds to be a touring musician of their level. Really funny stuff and I've been introduced to some music I've never heard before.

Just realized The Vandoliers are in Boise Sunday for the last night of their tour and I’m 5 hrs away in Reno so that might be happening.

The Cure and The Twilight Sad tonight at Amalie.

Re: The Live Music thread...
Saw them in Cleveland earlier this month, and it was a fantastic show. Was probably the second-best Cure show I’ve attended. The Cure played for almost three hours, and the opening act played for 30-45 minutes. Despite his advancing years, Robert Smith’s voice still has good range.

I keep hearing good things about this tour. I've never seen them live. Looks like their setlists are pretty consistent.

Really good show. Twilight Sad were great, although I'm bummed this wasn't one of the ~25% of their shows where they cover Frightened Rabbit's Keep Yourself Warm.
The Cure sound amazing and Robert's voice is as strong as ever. LOTS of songs I wasn't familiar with, which were a little jam band-y but good. The hits were amazing.

He was great., Though I didn't like the change up in set list, this guy needed a Dark Star.
Did you see that ludicrous display last night?

Re: The Live Music thread...
Saw Jason Isbell last night at the Woodland Park Zoo. Cool, mellow venue...volume was turned down for the neighbors. But man...it was HOT (for Seattle)...85-90 degrees.
Great show...sounded great. For all his other talents, which are many, Isbell is just a damn amazing songwriter. And comes off as just a super humble guy. My favorite songs of the night were probably "Cast Iron Skillet" and "Alabama Pines".
The Seattle tradition continued, with Mike McCready joining in on "This Ain't It" for the encore.
Opener was Deer Tick, who I was not familiar with. Thought they were ok...didn't really stand out for me.

Deer Tick have a few absolute bangers, and really pissed my wife off by not playing one of them the time she saw them.DaveInSeattle wrote: ↑Thu Jul 06, 2023 11:47 am Saw Jason Isbell last night at the Woodland Park Zoo.

Baltimore Blues, Twenty Miles, and Smith Hill are a few of the bangers. Bit of trivia, lead singer John McCauley is married to Vanessa Carlton.

I love their new album a lot. "Forgiving Ties" has a lot of spins so far this year.

Went and caught the Trey Anastasio Band w Horns at Pier 6 in Baltimore. Great show. Amazing musicians. Not as improv and jammy as a Phish show. The horn section is two women who can play their asses off and they can sing pretty also.

Re: The Live Music thread...
If you follow me on either FB or Twitter, you know I had an awesome experience last night with several newer and independent Americana artists doing a song swap at a legendary club in Austin called The Saxon Pub. There's a little community that's formed on Twitter where the fans and musicians regularly interact, so a lot of the crowd was from that community since this was first trip to Texas in a long time, if not ever for three of them. If you want to check them out, here was the lineup:
Matt Moran (he has an Isbell-like voice...I was blown away)
Austin Mayse
Liv.
Will Payne Harrison

Man both times I've been to ATX in the last year I've tried to hit Saxon and got waylaid.

Ooh, I'll be in ATX for Death Cab/Postal Service/Beths at the end of September. Think I can get my 15 year old into Saxon?

I gotta get to Austin. I think at every intersection, some great musicians fall off the back of a truck.

Re: The Live Music thread...
I waited too long and missed out on getting tix to their Philly show in September. On the secondary market, they're $145 at their cheapest. No idea what they were originally, but that seems mighty steep.govmentchedda wrote: ↑Wed Jul 12, 2023 11:33 am Ooh, I'll be in ATX for Death Cab/Postal Service/Beths at the end of September.

Heading out to Revivalists and The Head and the Heart in a few hours though, so I'm super pumped for that.
How do you all get your death notices since I left?
Re: The Live Music thread...
I wonder if there are exceptions. I can ask Austin Mayse who also works there. He's the one who organized last night.govmentchedda wrote: ↑Wed Jul 12, 2023 11:33 am Ooh, I'll be in ATX for Death Cab/Postal Service/Beths at the end of September. Think I can get my 15 year old into Saxon?

Re: The Live Music thread...
You'd probably love it and I still like it a lot too. It's crazy how much it's changed so quickly. It's now one of the top 10 most populous cities in the US. The Saxon Pub won't be there too much longer I imagine with all the development that's going on anywhere close to downtown.

My 19 year old daughter and her friends went to see Taylor Swift last night. She said it was awesome...and that's after she stood in line for 4 1/2 hours to buy merch.
Re: The Live Music thread...
I read this tour is going to gross more than the 2023 GDP of about 40 entire nations. Just kind of mind-blowing. By this time next year she might be a billionaire.

Going to be going to Philly on Tuesday and Wednesday to see Phish at The Mann. Excited to see the band, more excited because my two closest friends who live in MA and CA are both going to be there.
