So where are all the good fall shows?

The three tours I'd like to see most are skipping DC (WHY are these shows playing the rest of the EAST COAST and skipping DC?????):
Neil Young/Wilco
DBT/Hold Steady
Okkervil River
And there's not much else going on in October or November. Booooo!
Hey, if anybody has a Fleet Foxes ticket to sell me for twice the face or less, PM me! I was lazy and missed the boat.

Of course there's lots going on. Just not much I like.
I remember previous Fall seasons that had TOO MANY shows I liked, this one doesn't have nearly enough! I guess it all evens out.

Really? October has the potential to be my busiest month this year.

I'd be more inclined to go to that BTS show if Dino Jr. were on the bill.
And would be more inclined to go to one of the NYC ones if Dino Jr. were headlining.

While I should be celebrated, unfortunately I have no performances scheduled for fall. Sorry.

BTS are a better live band now than years ago…

I do think there's been a slight drop off. October/November is usually my busiest time of the year for concert-going, and the pickings have been a little slim compared to past years. Or maybe I'm just getting old. But here's what I have planned so far:
Nick Cave (x2)
The Rosebuds
Hotel Cafe Tour (I've fallen in love with Thao Nguyen!)
The Decemberists
Robyn Hitchcock
Speaking of Jenny Lewis, I could really use a ticket for her show if anyone has an extra. I was out of town when they went on sale. Would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I wouldn't count on that. BB have been known for erratic and underwhelming live shows for a long time.
That said, I might go. Some old pals from richmond might come up for this so i may go for the hang. But don't count on a frantic set from the bad brains.
just hope hr stays on stage and doesn't make a mockery of the songs and audience.
hopefully the fact that this is on election night will bring something to the table as far as the show is concerned. on second thought, maybe I'll just stay home and watch the returns.

well ac dc ain't chopped liver….
i agree shows have slowed down
still i've got
cave, acdc (two shows), robert pollard (maybe), the wailers, tina turner, magnetic fields (may sell the tickets), black crowes
if leonard cohen comes to dc it will be either the warner theater or strathmore or lisner or constitution hall.. i'm sure they 're taking offers…
