I think 8X10 was functioning. Lots of gross dead related bands, but functioning.

Maybe I'm wrong, but i thought is was more active than that! Maybe it was relying mostly on bar and hippie cover bands that flew past our collective hipster radar. I saw Kingfish there in 2019 and had never been there before. It seemed to be a good place. Anyway.

Glastonbury cancels


Jazz fest moves to October

Rough Trade NYC music venue shuts down permanently

How much does this suck for British artists?

Maybe they will just come to the US more

since i like a good kerfuffle, and last time i posted something like this one ensued, here goes:



Announcing the Home Shows Night 2 stream on Nugs.net!
From February 12th through February 16th, Pearl Jam will stream their iconic August 10th, 2018 hometown show from Seattle’s Safeco Field. Having already released the stream of Night 1, the band is responding to fan requests and partnering with Nugs.net to stream Night 2. This 2-show homestand is widely regarded as one of the band’s career highlights.

The stream will feature the 37-song set, mixed in stereo and 5.1 digital surround sound by Pearl Jam Producer, Josh Evans. This never-seen-before full-color footage was captured using multiple HD cameras by touring video director Blue Leach and edited by PJ archivist Kevin Shuss.

So do you think it will be better or worse than that iconic philly show?

Or they could stream shows for free (like they need the money) and have their fans donate to charity on their behalf.

I know a certain band that's raised over one million dollars during the pandemic in the name of charity.

I wouldn’t be so sure band members not named Eddie Vedder are as loaded as you think….

You're kidding, right?

edit: Not one dude in that band is close to poor.
