Anyone else going to LA for the Philharmonic show? The Shins are opening…for me, that's a more attractive show. I haven't seen the Shins since their Black Cat shows.

I went to L.A. for 14 hours once, to see The Soft Boys one last time. I was a mess for a week afterwards, but I have no regrets.

I've flown to San Francisco a few times for shows. Not in years though.
i drove from Toronto to Florida for a rave party once! beat that lame shit!
I drove to Baltimore to see a couple of different shows.
Vegas for REM/Wilco and, separately, for U2.
>>>>>>>>>>I have seen two of the three bands live, and all three are awful live.

Seriously though, I would definitely not pay money to see Belle and Sebastian or Ted Leo again. <<<<<<<<<<<<<


i think anyone that attended the two B & S 930 shows in March would beg to differ…They are stunning live & get better every tour..
When did you see them last ?…. & if you say something like 1998 its pretty irrelevant …
I saw them in NYC in March. My wife fell asleep, and I was pretty bored myself. They were just too fey and faggotty.

soot123, don't mind Charlie (or Rhett as his previous log-in used to be). Some of us here are of that persuasion that he refers to, and we have learned to just ignore comments like that, even if they are inappropriate. He's not trying to be mean…he's just blunt about his opinions. I avoid a term like "fag" because it's a word with negative associations, and I just don't think that there should be acceptance of words like it, but Belle and Sebastian shows do attract a large-ish number of gays. But then again, we're there at every show, even stuff like Ministry. Just take a look, it's not hard to find. If it is a problem then they should probably listen to Insane Clown Posse and go to one of their shows.
Soot, if it makes you feel any better, Rhett is an equal opportunity offender. That's just his way. If you stick around long enough, and you should ;) , you'll see that everyone gives him shit just like he shits on everyone else so it balances out in the end. After awhile, you'll sort regard him as like the local retard working outside some store. You notice that something isn't quite right there but you try to ignore it and accept him for who he is. Except the retard can't help the way he is but Rhett chooses to be that way.
You thought Ted Leo was awful live? Wow. I've seen him twice and enjoyed it both times.

Yeah, I don't think I've ever heard anyone in the history of time say they didn't like ted leo live. And, Belle and Sebastian at the 930 club show was 100x better than I thought it was going to be. Charlie or Rhett, I don't know what you're expecting when you go to these concerts. You hoping they transform the music you probably already hate into something more manly or something?

Bearman, don't defend Rhett because you're friendly with him. I don't care how blunt he is; it's just unnecessary.

I don't think he has much stage presence or personality, and his between song banter is nonexistent. He doesn't look particularly comfortable onstage. While his recorded material is good, I don't think that his live show matches up.

In his defense, I saw him at the Black Cat, where the sound is notoriously bad, and at that protest last year, where the sound sucked as well.
