Peter G always deliver a great arena show.  Agreed about the new songs (11 of them)… Audience did not mind.  I'd sit in the 216 section again though it's a side view.  Not sure I have the energy for another arena show….

This was my first time seeing a show at Cap One Arena, though I attended concerts about 20 years ago in similarly sized sports arenas–United Center and the old Palace of Auburn Hills. I knew the show last night did not sell out, but I was surprised to see how all the upper level sections on the sides of the venue were closed off. It didn't seem like that on SeatGeek.

Probably 15,000 people attendance.

Typically in a shitty selling concert situation,  they probably shifted people around the nose bleeds or upgraded them to lower levels so they could shut down entire sections.

I was hoping we'd get moved from our lousy nosebleed seats and did not.  I was sad.  Great show though.

Sunday I went to the Go-Go/Punk event at MLK Library which turned out to be a solid afternoon into early event.  Having moved the event indoors due to the weather, things got started running late due to the library not even opening until 1pm and Fat Tony and Trouble Funk didn't even start to play until 6:45.

Nicely diverse attendance for the event with people enjoying the line-up of groups, even had the obligatory members of Fugazi in attendence. 

First up was Breezy Supreme who while not a huge fan of Pop Punk, I really appreciate his bravado.  Plus, a couple of his songs are super catchy.  Fun set including a blistering Bad Brains cover.

Next Bacchae who name was I familiar with as they were due to warmup for Big Joanie at one point.  Enjoyed their set as they are sort of on the borderline of Riot Grrrl and New Wave.  Listened to their albums this morning and really solid stuff.

If ever a band gained a whole bunch of new fans it was Black Alley who had the audience dancing and totally into them.  They started out with an absolutely stunning version of "When Doves Cry" probably the heaviest version ever.  They proceeded with their self described "Hood Rock" a mixture of funk/rock/go-go/hip-hop, listening to more of their stuff online today they are big into doing mashups.  Fantastic vocalist, hard hitting drummer and a one very heavy sounding bass player who just a huge smile on the entire set.  Would see again if given the chance.

Many were there for Scream and it was my first time hearing them and I really enjoyed it.  For them being a hardcore band, I heard lots of  60s garage rock in their sound.  It was the first gig with their new drummer with the passing of Ken Stax, whose picture they placed on his snare drum for the set.  Skeeter mentioned he had know Ken since the 7th grade.  They had possibly a new guitarist who was English, but I didn't catch his name.  Clearly a band whose catalog I need to dive into.. and yes a Mosh Pit did break out in the Library during their set.

Only got to catch part of the Fat Tony and Trouble Funk set as it was 6:40 and the event was suppose to end around 5pm and I was just worn out by then.
