1. It was either Them Crooked Vultures or Motorhead, both in the fall
I forget which was the most recent, but they were both excellent shows.

3. I forgot the opening acts
Opening acts for the Killers were Halloweentown and Nervous Wreckords, I think they were called..

Halloweentown was incredible, but they don't have a CD out. Which is a shame, because I'd spend up to twenty bucks on it, they were that good.

4. Deer Hoof.
A really small show in SLO. They were amazing and the drummer was unbelievable. I've never seen a guy get more out of less.

I don't get to nearly as many shows as I used to.

5. Kansas, way back in Dec. 1999.
I was in the 5th row center, maybe 12 feet from the stage. They kicked ass.

sadly, had to leave the show sick as a dog.


Edit:
Actually, it was Pearl Jam on Halloween now that I think about it.

34. Cohen in concert
I'm sorry to have missed him during this last tour, but I'll never forget the experience from the 2nd row at the Lisner Auditorium in DC back in 1993. Cohen was witty and captivating and the show seemed like it would never end. He kept coming back for encore after encore, once joking that the alternative was going back and sitting in the bus.

I was swapping some songs with singer/songwriter Laurie McCain last night (see her if you get a chance), and she told me that Cohen was one of her first musical influences. So last night she did Suzanne and my wife and I did Bird on the Wire, and it went into the night.

I'll never get too old for this stuff!

15. Sightings last Saturday night in Somerville, Ma.
Pretty messed up stuff, even by my standards. I'm not really into the Noise scene all that much, but live it's always fun to watch these people do their thing. It approaches art and theater more than music at times, and I groove on the spirit behind the music as much as the music itself. There's a sense of creative freedom that no other stuff I hear has, sort of like the vibe punk had in the late 70's and early 80's, and it's really cool. There's no rules, no expectations, and anything goes. The "music" itself though is pretty out there, and considering the stuff I normally like that's saying something. :)

19. I'm mixed on the noise scene.
The sounds leave me wanting sometimes, but the attitude behind it all tends to be spot on for me.

Fun show, but last Saturday's was better.

Here's a weird vid. This guy is hilarious to talk to, and one of the nicest guys you could meet. He runs a place called RRRecords in Lowell, Ma. Like Rubber O Cement, it borders more on theater. "Rey Poo!"

26. I like the last Baroness but haven't heard the new one.
It didn't blow me away, but it was solid. The new Mastodon I can barely even listen to though. They keep getting plugged as the new Metallica, and they may be right, just not in a good way. Loved the first EP and full album, thought Leviathan was ok, then loved Blood Mountain, then hated the new one. At this rate I should like their next one! :)

Mastodon does, however, kick all kinds of ass live. Saw them with High on Fire years ago and both bands tore the joint down. My neck can't take that shit anymore. :)

27. I'm learning Mastodon's catalog backwards.
To quickly recap Iggo's metal history: I was stagnating on Thrash, NWOBHM and Black Sabbath for 20+ years 'til I started making my peace with growl singers, which kicked in the back door to sub-genres I'd sort of heard of (Death Metal and Black Metal), and opened up the side door to whole sub-genres that I'd never heard of (Sludge, Doom). Anyway...

You are correct: Mastodon kicks several kinds of ass. I've seen them a couple of times now, and I think that may be the best live two guitar attack I've seen since the original Megadeth. They are technically excellent and I caught myself several times standing there slack-jawed thinking 'How do they do it? They never fucking stop!' Mastodon plays their entire new album first, then takes five and comes back and plays about 8 or 10 older songs. I went with my 15 yr old nephew, and he and the rest of the kids enjoyed the second half of the show more than the first. So yeah, I'm learning Mastodon backwards, but that means Blood Mountain is next.

BTBAM was kind of a fun band, in that a lot of their music seemed kind of tongue in cheek. I laughed out loud a couple of times and was rewarded with a sidelong grin from the lead singer, so maybe there were a few musical jokes there that I was supposed to get.

Valient Thorr was slightly different than the rest of the bill. They played that Camaro Rock kind of southern metal that owes more to Alabama Thunderpussy than Neurosis. Enjoyable for what it was, yet mercifully brief.

Baroness was the real find, as far as I'm concerened. I like them a lot and I'm looking forward to discovering whatever they have to offer. I'm excited about this band in the way I've been excited in the last few years about Opeth, Pelican, and The Sword.

But my neck hurts...

32. Pat Metheny- Orchestrion
What an awesome show! One of the most innovative concerts I have experienced.

ABOUT ORCHESTRION

This project represents a conceptual direction that merges an idea from the late 19th and early 20th centuries with the technologies of today to create a new, open-ended platform for musical composition, improvisation and performance.

"Orchestrionics" is the term that I am using to describe a method of developing ensemble-oriented music using acoustic and acoustoelectric musical instruments that are mechanically controlled in a variety of ways, using solenoids and pneumatics. With a guitar, pen or keyboard I am able to create a detailed compositional environment or a spontaneously developed improvisation, with the pieces on this particular recording leaning toward the compositional side of the spectrum. On top of these layers of acoustic sound, I add my conventional electric guitar playing as an improvised component.

At least for me, this takes the term "solo record" into some new and interesting areas, somewhat recontextualizing the idea of what constitutes a solo performance by a single musician. This project is the result of a lifelong dream in this area that dates back to my early youth.

My favorites - a small church in Burlington VT in 1979 just after American Garage came out....Seattle and Philadelphia around the time of First Circle. Always gives you your money's worth!

33. Stone Temple Pilots and Alice in Chains at a local...
Edited on Tue May-25-10 10:29 AM by amyrose2712
radio station festival in Camden, NJ, Sunday May 23. It was the MMRBQ. There were a number of other bands, including, Three Days Grace, Fuel, Skillet, and Dive. I was extremely nervous being an old school Alice in Chains worshiper and Layne Staley lover, I was worried that the new singer could not do justice to the old tunes. And within minutes my fears were laid to rest. I was quite impressed. Not was he able to imitate Layne's voice. He was able to do it in a way that tweaked the same emotions Layne once did. I will have to say after seeing them live, I wholeheartedly approve. STP went on last and seemed a little flat. I have a feeling Scott was a little tuned himself.

37. I'm into Americana/Blues/Root music
so luckily I have lots of opportunity to see some of my favorite artists in small venues when they come around. I can't always take advantage of those opportunities, but they are there when I can. It's changed my thinking on the whole concert experience. I can't take crowds so it works very well for me.

I'm thinking the last one was Eliza Gilkyson last year. She comes here once a year and is always a great night of fun and the kind of music I absolutely love.

40. Not bad actually...
$190 for 4 lawn seats....It was a great show at the Susquehanna Center in Camden, NJ. The show that put us in the hole is Roger Water's upcoming Wall Tour. I think we have put out $2000 for tickets for that. I CAN NOT WAIT! Although, we bought 12 tickets to spread over 3 shows and 8 people. Me and the boo are going to all 3. It is just about what we work for. Living expenses and concerts.

44. The Eels at The World Cafe in Philadelphia.
Edited on Sat Oct-23-10 10:27 AM by amyrose2712
Very cool place to see a show. A cozy little lounge on the ground floor. And a bar and larger area for bands. Great sound. The crowd is a bit subdued which was just as well as the music was blues-y. You kinda expected the place to be full of cigar and clove cigarette smoke, if it wasn't for the indoor smoking ban now enforced. Good show. Strange vaudeville type opening ventriloquist act and a cutesy female one woman folk singer, Jessica Hoop opened.

45. Saturday Oct. 30 -- Pelican (10th Anniversary Show) at the Troubador in Hollywood.
Goatsnake (stoner metal) and Nails (almost punk) were the undercard.

Great fucking show. Pelican is the shit. First heard about them here at DU when I was looking for new music.

(Tell you what, walking around West Hollywood on Halloween before and after the show was extremely entertaining as well. Shoulda brought my camera.)

47. Goatsnake was somethin.
That's the first stoner/sludge/doom metal band I've seen live (not counting Black Sabbath w/Ozzy of course), and it was the perfect venue. I enjoyed them immensely. Guitarist Greg Anderson was really really good. Nothing fancy in the lead department, but man, he sure as hell was the master of his sound...which kind of turned out to be the theme of the night. The close harmony and also the back and forth singing between the lead singer and the bass player was f'ing awesome. I checked Wiki, and the say it's Scott Reeder late of Kyuss, but that may not have been updated in a while. Either way, bass player kicked ass.

I'll see 'em again if I get the chance.

56. Author and Punisher w/Theologian and Battilus at Starlab in Somerville, Ma.
Tristan Shone from A&P machine builds his own "instruments". Quite the sight (and sound) to behold live.

59. System Of A Down. May 21st, 2011. Chula Vista, CA.
Edited on Sun May-29-11 04:08 PM by Iggo
SOAD was damn near flawless as usual. They should've printed "Welcome to the 2011 System Of A Down Group Singalong" on the tickets.

Gogol Bordello was on the undercard. Now THAT's a fun band. They were a little heavy on the highs, though, and I actually had to put my fingers in my ears. (I don't usually bring earplugs to outdoor concerts). They had multiple singers and their fans absolutely love them! During their show a memory of the Christian Side Hug video popped into my head unbidden and I started busting up. Same energy, multiple singers traveling all over the stage pointing at the audience and encouraging participation.

Fun. Fun. Fun.

Up next: Rush Time Machine Tour.

I saw them a few years back with Ozfest. One of the best live bands I've seen(and there are MANY) Glad to hear they are still tight and sound awesome!

61. They ripped through a 29 song set in 2 hrs and 10 minutes.
No frills, no bullshit. Just bam! bam! bam!

I also saw them at the OzzFest (2006?). Maybe the best live show I've ever seen. And I've seen some shows.

74. Must have been awesome in a small venue.
I'm going to see them in Golden Gate Park in August. I can't wait. They have the hottest live show on the planet right now. :thumbsup:

66. Borbetomagus at O'Brien's in Allston, Ma just now, June 12th.
Never heard of them before. 2 sax players and a guitarist making pure insane noise with little rhyme or reason for 45 minutes. It was great!

68. Hey stranger, How goes it? You always put up such
obscure cool bands. I need some new music to check out, may I have 3 names of bands that you are sure I haven't heard.(like most everything you mention, hehehe)I'm feeling like a bit of Dub-Step/industrial/melancholia/triphop/minor key tonality, syncopated beats :)with odd time signatures. Got it? HEHE...I would greatly appreciate it.

69. LOL...is that all?
;)

I'll just throw some random stuff at you. I don't know if I can meet your requirements lol, but I've always got some odd things to share. I can supply more than 3 though, and I'll try to make it varied.

Blackfilm, the band I'm most hooked on at the moment.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=si3NyyifqVA&feature=watch_response

StaggeringThorax - This is my best friend, and who I go to all these shows with. Been friends for 28 years, all because of music.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DI8FpTJAAM

God Is An Astronaut - This actually isn't weird at all, just very pleasant to my ears.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEDhsDoqXns

Endstille - Because every list needs at least one killer piece of black metal lol. Been listening to this one lots since I got it last month.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXrvMf318BA&feature=related

Logic Bomb - some trance!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPUGPkSpKNE

Yob - my fave doom band of all, and one my fave bands period. Imagine Mt. Everest landing on your head. Finally getting to see them in a few weeks, and I am psyched! And yes, the name comes from the old Merrie Melodies cartoon where the father falls asleep in the hospital waiting room while his wife is giving birth and he dreams he has a Martian boy named Yob.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AaSkJMH3-Pw&feature=related

And this is Borbetomagus from the show last night, filmed by StaggeringThorax. Pure madness.

70. I can vouch for Yob.
I recommend "The Unreal Never Lived"...4 songs, about 50 minutes.

76. Rush Time Machine Tour.
Edited on Sat Jul-02-11 12:38 AM by Iggo
Wednesday June 22, 2011. Gibson Amphitheater at the Universal City Walk in L.A.

Great place to see a concert. And I gotta tell ya, the Rush crowd is one of the mellowest crowds I've ever been in. Rivals the YES crowd from a concert I went to back in the early 90's at the Greek Theater. Maybe that's how prog crowds are. I dunno. I'm used to metal shows.

Anyway, I hadn't seen Rush since the mid-80's. (Count Floyd introduced them on the big screen back in those days. Scaaaary, kids!) I shouldn't have waited so long. These guys are the masters. I thoroughly enjoyed almost every minute of it. (They mangled Working Man, but hey, it's their song and they can do what they want with it.)

If you love Rush, I ain't gotta tell you how great they are. All I can tell you is DO see them live at least once in your life. If you hate them, it's a waste of both our time. If yer not knowin', pick up 2112 and Moving Pictures and make up your own mind.

EDIT: Rearranged an awkwardly constructed sentence. It was bothering me. Sorry. LOL.

77. For amyrose:
Yes, Geddy's voice may have seen better days, but he saved it up and then gave it up for that last verse of Freewill, didn't he?

Even the progsters were up and screaming for that one. My hair was standing on end and I can't remember ever smiling like that during a concert, but there I was grinning like an idiot.

Great show.

The one song I wanted to hear the most is the one they opened with.

83. The Identity Festival
http://idfestival.com/thefestival/

Meh. Walked around for about an hour, spend $60 on food, sweat my boobs off and left. I was hoping for a bit more DubStep, but everything was a bit too dancey for me. Much of it sounded alike. Oh well, gave it a go.

89. Sonoio- (a solo project of Alessandro Cortini of Nine Inch Nails)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SONOIO

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tB__9G9NUWE

This is the video I shot at the Theater of the Living Arts in Philadelphia on South Street.

Also on the bill was VHS or Beta and Lady Tron , but we left before they played. As I was leaving, I saw Alessandro bringing his equipment to the tour van, and I touched his soft hand and talked to him for a few minutes. Long enough to REALLY make my BF jealous. He thinks Cortini is a genius and he missed meeting him!

Excellent venue.

Opeth killed, even though they're only playing soft stuff this tour.

Frontman is a hoot between songs. Funny guy.
