Really great list, Sweets. I would also offer a parlay of your racist bet with him mentioning someone's weight or general size completely unrelated to the narrative at hand.
I was the oldest person at Beabadoobee on Wednesday. It was probably the first concert for at least half the crowd. They were so cute when they broke into a round of "Encore! Encore!" and "One More Song!" after the main set. And they were so pleased with themselves when it actually happened!
22 songs in maybe an hour and fifteen. Solid pop, enjoyable show. Lead singer had a Goo Goo Dolls shirt on for whatever reason.

I wanna say I got ya beat as to the oldest….highly enjoyable show! Lotsa moshing going down. I'd never seen the 9:30 staph pass out cups of water from the floor in front of the stage to the crowd. Nice gesture. FWIW, the guitar player wore a Social Distortion shirt and sounded like the Silversun guitar player at times.
The opener- Lowertown was great.

the FSS staff was handing out at least 50 cups of water to the fans locked in the front
I went last night..pretty good setlist though didn't care for songs from WE but glad they did 6 from Funeral. Crown of Love was the biggest surprise.
Sound pretty much was meh. There is another stage in the middle (like the last tour) where they performed the encore and a couple of songs in the main set.
I'm glad I went but they are pretty much on the decline artistically with or without the controversy.

Would actually appreciate anyone's take on the show (tonight's as well). On the fence about going Saturday. Setlist from last night looked great and tickets for Sat are down to $7.

nice review vas!
Thanks. Also not a huge fan of WE. Everything Now has some baffling tracks. Definitely on the decline.
Would have loved to see Crown and In The Backseat played. Looks like they've been rotating in deeper cuts lately. Saw Black Wave/Bad Vibrations was played back in Sept.

Mass confusion reigned as the opening band, Prior Pawns was 45 minutes late. The laptop running their light show ran out of juice 2 songs into their set. They performed with the ViewSonic logo behind them for a few songs until someone thought to turn off the projector. This was their 6th show ever.
Two songs into their set, the drummer for Kilynn Lunsford announced that he had punched a hole in his kick drum, and there wouldn't be any more bass beats. The singer asked repeatedly if that was going to be okay, but the band just started playing and the show went on.
Kilynn Lunsford's set was great. Dark, swirling distortion, psychedelic and liminal.
I met azaghal for the first time, and mentioned the forum. He didn't seem wholly impressed.

you can end every azag story with that line.
Billy Strings in Asheville 10/29. It was the 1st of his 3 shows in Asheville and the theme was Lord of the Rings for Halloween. This was the 2nd time I've seen him and this show blew away the show I saw in Baltimore earlier this year. This show had a much stronger jam band feel than the Baltimore show. Probably one of the best shows I've seen in a long long time. They had an amazing flutist and a cello player in addition to the usual band. The musicianship was stellar. Crowd was great and probably half were dressed for Halloween and Lord of the Rings theme. Was thinking of selling my Anthem tickets in November, but after this show, I will definitely be going.
Oh hey great meeting you/congrats on coaxing me out of lurker mode.
To clarify, he meant that I was unimpressed with the forum, not the show (which I booked). But seriously, I do appreciate you coming out! I was a little worried about attendance given all the conflicting shows that night but Kilynn and her band seemed happy when they left. The name of the first band is Past Pawn, btw. They were initially supposed to go on last but were the first local to show up so I gave them the choice to go on first which they took. Fun times in DIY booking land!
OK, back to not posting for a few more years.

Whoa….legend returns!
See you in 2028

I like when these longtime lurkers/posters/legends act like they don't participate in the community but read it daily without logging in. What are the chances AZ just magically appeared?
Also, AZ, how long until you hang up your twitter account now that it's even a bigger cesspool?

Not to detract from an AZ sighting, but here's my Arcade Fire banter that won't impress him.
I hated Arcade Fire since the beginning of time. In part because people on this board loved them and it was fun to troll them. They reminded me of the rugrat white homeless people who were always assembled around the subway stations in Montreal every time I visited. And they were probably the most overhyped band of their time. That said, I kind of liked Neon Bible. Or at least some of it.
So when I saw that Beck was opening for Arcade Fire at Anthem, that was the most tempted I've ever been to see them. That double bill I'd pay a good 30 or 35 dollars to see. But then he dropped out, so the interest was close to zero.
But then Vas messaged me and said he had an extra freebie for Thursday. So I was going to be in DC Thursday (but not Friday or Saturday) for work, with free parking, so I figured that was enough star alignment, so said sure why not. Later that day, I was showing my wife the new Artic Monkeys video on Youtube and she said "Wait, I like this music. I'm going to be jealous that you're seeing this band Thursday night and not taking me."
I got up Thursday and put in my new pair of tight red thrift store cords and got in my (red) car ready to rock Sammy Hagar and Jack White style. Unfortunately, the drive into the office was a 90 minute nightmare (compared to less than 60 when taking the train), meaning I couldn't drive 55, but I made it.
So 5:30pm rolls around, and I figure I'll head over to Other Half (not far from office) for a preshow draft. And fatass here swings his leg into the driver's seat, and his tight cords rip about a foot long rip from waist past crotch halfway to the knee. Fuck you Ralph Lauren. To the point where everyone at the show will know the answer to boxers or briefs. I thought maybe I could get away with strategially tying me hoodie around my front, but then thought better of it. I remembered there is a Target over on New York Avenue, near Other Half.
So I go to Target, and they literally have three pairs of pants that fit me. One was some really ugly pair of Haggar (not very Sammy Hagar like) slacks, the second was a pair of fleece lined winter activity pants by Wrangler (they had zippers, pants to make a homeless Montreal subway rugrat jealous), and the third was overpriced sweatpants. So I purchased the Wranglers, changed in the parking lot, and prepared to sweat my balls off at the show.
I had the beer, as well as the now cold takeout food I had brought with me, and drove in the general direction of the Anthem. Vas texted me that the opener was no good, so I stopped for a second preshow drink (mojito at that Cuban place on the Wharf), and made my way into the Anthem thereafter.
I made a pit stop and the first guy I saw was wearing a skirt and I thought shit I've gone into the women's room. But then I remembered I was seeing edgy alternative band Arcade Fire and not Wilco, and it made sense that I'd see a guy so desperate for attention that he'd wear a skirt to a rock concert.
After what seemed like an interminably long time between sets (not so much for me but for Vas), the Rugrats took the stage. I texted my wife and daughter, and my wife's best comment was "He doesn't look very appealing." (Well hon, if you were an 18 year old groupie, he would!). At times they were pretty decent, at other times boring (new songs, natch). The whole time I felt like I was watching a band that all 6000 other people liked more than me. That's all I have for a show review. This thread is called Post Show Banter, not Show Reviews. Also, there was far more than average BO at this show. Or maybe I was just smelling my sweating balls in my new Wranglers.
My daughter wakes me up getting ready for school at 6:30 each morning, and my wife and I had taken the day of to go hike and brewery hop, so I bailed on the encore. When I saw tickets for Saturday's show as low as $4, I thought about pulling the trigger, but it was just so much more comfortable to stay home alone (wife and daugher had plans of their own.) and vacation plan and watch a decent horror movie and half of a French film with integenerational lesbian sex scene.
The Wranglers will come in handy this winter when walking the dog. Also, I still owe Vas a mojito.
