trust me this and the iggy show are really bumming me out


Sorry to say this, but those have been 2 of the best concerts I've ever seen…sorta weird that they're so close to each other. To be honest, I had NO idea the Stone Roses gig would be as good as it was. I was prepared for the worst. My recollection of the WUST show wasn't as bad as yours. Mani gave me his beer, the band destroyed a bunch of tunes that night including "I am the Resurrection" and true…it wasn't the greatest show…but it was far from awful. There were great moments…but Ian really doesn't have a great voice. I think he's been taking lessons or something because he sounded great at MSG. The real talent of the Roses is Reni and John Squire. And Mani is great…but he plays the role of John Paul Jones to Bonham and Page. Not everyone is a showman. And you realize that the talent of the Roses is on that level. They just never went on to have the discography that Zep had. Big statement, I know…but the talent is clearly there. I loved watching the guys give each other big, brotherly hugs at the end. It seems as though they all really love and respect each other.

maybe they will decide that they love the cash and come back again
hope springs eternal
hung over…
I love at 58, Bob does those high kicks!

Plus, had no idea until about 2 hours in that the cowardly lion on stage right was in fact Bobby Bare Jr.
looked like he was having a blast

Fun show, although I was feeling a little worn out by the end
the amount of high kicks was disappointing….2 ?

he did about 15 at the black cat !

Dude I can't do 1 and I'm 13 years younger than him

BBJ was really channeling his inner Townshend during Babba

Were they all just hanging out together? Do you have any details about a possible reunion?
Nope, sorry. 
First GBV show for me and I was thoroughly impressed. I was at backbar after show as well but didn't meet others. I was with group of older dudes (including myself) drinking and talking.  Friend's kid was talking with some members of Sad Eyes 
so, I was asked, twice even, to go to the Dylan show at wolftrap.  I love the trap, so it was disappointing that I could not go . . . twice, even.  I heard he played the same set both nights.  ugh, really?  anybody go to let me know how it was / what I missed?  I have never heard of the opener, but have been schooled into knowing that she is excellent, even.

new bob is different in that since about 2013 or 2014 the set lists are VERY static.. on the plus side he really sings his heart out and the versions are far more polished….

the man is like 75 so I think this is as good as its going to get….can't ask for more…but one can certainly say its not their cup of tea.


I didn't go to either Trap show…. I guess I associate going to Dylan with a friend that died about 15 months ago… it will be a while before I feel like going again…

was surprised by that
for the record, I think I've seen Mr. Z about 5 times with you
A+ Steve Gunn show.

Hadn't been to the backstage in a few years, would like to return soon!


Donald and Hobbes

i've long thought that calvin and hobbes is the perfect comic… now someone has managed to improve it.
Donald and Hobbes. Where were they playing? Some house show on Florida Ave?
^ its, funny but true.
Bryan Ferry last night - enjoyed hearing the old hits.  Didn't enjoy the upper balcony at the Lincoln.  The AC really didn't help cool things much.  Dripping sweat while seated.  Had to look between heads to see some of the stage.  And the lights from the back of the stage were blinding - probably not an issue if you had seats down below.
