Bob Mould was fantastic last night. Guy still brings the heat.

Intimate venue is right. He's amazing. I saw him once with Sugar and once solo w a band. Glad you went. $30 is a great price, fuck those fees.

Feels like "and the show will be acoustic" is the greatest test of whether you really, really like an artist.

I'd go again, but of the different incarnations of him that I've seen, this is my least favorite.

Phish
Trey Anastasio Band (TAB) w/ Horns
TAB w/o Horns - 4 piece
Trey with the DC Philharmonic
Trey Acoutic solo

Does this mean you didn't see Dave Matthews and Friends including Trey 20+ years ago?

I did not. Looks like a fun show.

Phish is playing in Boulder over the 4th of July weekend, sort of wish I wasn't out of town.

Would you go? I thought you don't listen to them since they peaked in '97.

Last night Strings in Savannah absolutely killed - three hours less a 20 minute or so intermission. Five songs on the encore - 10 out of 10 worth the drive. Night two coming up. Genuinely happy I am here.

[sancarlos]

Fun! Did the new lass join you?

[tennbengal]

Not for this one - but yes for Lexington in June.

They just dropped into Tangked Up in Blue second song in tonight and the place is lit.

[tennbengal]

I know mostly talking to myself on Strings stuff - but that was all-time high first set from them - we got Dylan (tangled up in blue) , Floyd (fearless ) and Dead (all time low) (or is that Panic?) interspersed with some of their best including Turmoil and Heartbeat of America. Absolutely insane set.

[Giff]

That’s badass TB! Happy for you!

[rass]

Glad the epic journey paid off.

And I liked Gild the Lily from earlier this year so much that it went straight to my drinking at the beach playlist.

Oh yeah, Gild is an instant jam classic for them live. It popped up in set 2 last night. Absolutely transcendent night.

Until my daughter's junior high dance rectial ruined it, I could've had a weekend of Vandoliers, American Aquarium, and Wilco. Two out of three ain't bad!

Gotta say it's cool reading about your new passion. Gives me hope for when I get the last of the parasites out of my house and can get my life back. I went into a Billy Strings rabbit hole a couple years ago when someone (Sancarlos?) posted about him, and I absolutely love his music. Maybe one day I'll get into it more.

I forgot to mention this after I went, but BJ's solo set was amazing. Giff, if you don't like stripped down how do you feel about it when he isn't with the full band? I loved the stories and song mix. No kidding it was a one man monologue/standup set/music gig. MY buddy that went with me became a fan for life after only having heard the "hits" before then.

When they tell stories like BJ does, I enjoy the stripped down a lot more.

Did he tell the Julius Hodge story and how it inspired "Wolves"?

No, but we aren't in Wolves country. Several longer ones but longest were about his mom and grandma. I'd heard the broad strokes of the mom for The Last Year in Nashville, but I was less impaired this time.

Managed to score tickets yesterday (no thanks to Ticketmaster and their terrible website) to see LCD Soundsystem and TV On The Radio in August.

If I hadn't just seen TVotR, this would have been a great reason to go see LCD without being too invested in the show being how I'd like it to be.

The re-discovery of live music has been the best. Four concerts/festivals dead ahead over the next two months. Can't wait.

I was one ace from having to cancel on catching up with you due to a trip with my wife, but that got changed.

Just found out that Warrant is playing a concert at the casino attached to the truck stop I'm parked at tonight. Almost wish I didn't have to wake up at 4:30 and/or liked shitty music!

[brian]

That honestly explains some of the clientele here.

[Giff]

Haha we have a baseball version of Top
Golf here that hosts concerts and they’re playing (or did).

[brian]

I’m at the casino bar watching the draft and there’s a group here talking about seeing Skid Row and Winger in some seedy bar and I’m in heaven listening to it.

The same people who go see Warrant at a truckstop, no doubt.

To be somewhat fair it’s a Native casino with a truck stop attached but you’re not wrong.
