Hall & Oates were underwhelming at the 930 (many years ago)
You a big Hall and Oates fan?

I always had you pegged as more of a Barry Manilow closet fan…
Barry Manilow was my wife’s first show. Maybe she went with Vans.

I will say, yes both the Squeeze and H&O's sets were short,
but man that was 20 straight up bangers an no fluff
both those guys have some serious back catalogue
and not every old musician can be like the stones or the boss
This wasn't as much as a dual headliner as a split headliner


Agreed. Not really complaining about the length of the show. Merely a mention.
went to the Van Gogh Immersive thing with the family…very cool, but nothing like the real thing ;)
Golden teacher should have been administered 40 mins before entry
was a hit with the fam
The first Fugees show in 15 years started three hours late last night. LOL.

Sometimes bands return and its like they never even left.
Anyone attending should have expected that.
My first show at the Lincoln Theatre in the new abnormal times… More people without mask around me in just two rows vs. the entire night at the 930 Club last week. Showed up at 8pm since the show was sold out and ended up sitting through the opener who was quite good as well.

Leon's band was absolutey fiyah and it was great to see a frontman basically run the show. Very impressed, would see again, and his new album translated perfectly live. I've never seen really anything at The Lincoln that wasn't folkie/acoustic so I had concerns regarding the genre, but it was pristine… Also, the best crowd of any other IMP show from the past few weeks with people actually getting into the music. Old farts would've been mad that people were standing, at least in the orchestra floor seats.

Did not look at the merch…

Parking was easy as we were in the city by 5pm.

Dinner at Rooster and Owl pre show was a 8.375/10.

Jealous. Glad it was a great show.

Excellent, I am really looking forward to seeing [glow=red,2,300]Leon[/glow] on Sunday up here.


Hop Along last night at Ottobar.  Packed show, with a really enthusiastic crowd, although not quite sold out. I really like this band. Francis' vocals are more of a hoarse caterwaul than a regular singing voice, and it works for me. It's an emotional bleat, and I enjoy it!

just had to say last night’s Bleachers show was fantastic. Just so so great….so fun. Every song sounded like a familiar 80s hit but from a parallel universe. Super energy on part of crowd. Big smiles everywhere…
Leon Bridges was a fun show at the Rams Head Live in Baltimore last night. The venue was packed, not something that occurs at my usual shows there.
Leon has the SoulRnB thing down, and the twitchy dance moves.
Excellent band backing him, and I am not gonna objectify that one back up singer, but….
Watkins Family Hour last night at Ram's Head On Stage in Annapolis.
God I love Sara Watkins, I would pay to hear her sing the telephone book.
based on rough data, challenged is winning the attending the most shows award!

The word "winning" is doing some work here.
can we get a challanged vs yada show count (hobo rock and backyard shows count, kid's jazz-rock ensemble shows do not)

based on my rough estimates, I'm not even in the same league as challenged…. I'm at 11 in abnormal times.

22 total.
2 probably would be excluded if this were audited: a free show at brewery (although an original set, not cover), and another at a winery, where you had to pay, but it was more for access than for the band, and it was covers.

Vas has been to a bunch of shows too though, but is also wasting his nights out on comedy and musical theatre.
22! My lord….impressive
