The video bootleg of one of those two nights is so, so good.

I would totally be down with a reunited SP opening The Anthem.

Foo Fighters are 5:3 favorites, but I predict Seth will pull out a classic, a la Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, or Loretta Lynn.  Perhaps Neil Diamond.
Goddamn, can you even imagine the riot that would arise if it was someone like the Legwarmers or Gonzo's Nose? We'd be talking about it for decades.

johnny cash would be interesting…
If Johnny Cash opens The Anthem I will personally eat Seth's hat.
I'm hearing Johnny Cash….FYI
Obviously I meant a "legend" booking like, for example, the Johnny Cash show at the 9:30 club that happened before Johnny, you know…died.
so is the name of the venue "The Anthem", or just "Anthem"?

I know for one, Sidehutch would be happy.
my picks

Dylan, doing only covers

minor threat / fugazi / black flag / bad brains  reunite show

roger waters, screaming about trump, into pink Floyd songs, into more trump ranting, into solo work songs

tiny desk unit  



apparently Phish is going to play 1 song that will last 3 hours….it will be like a jamosaurus show…
What about 6 months of Thievery Corp shows to open The Anthem

Would be a great booking considering they haven't played in the city limits in nearly 20 years.
5 nights of Radiohead. Or would that jinx the place?
Charge more than Mexico. People will pay it.
