I saw their whole 4-night stand at Cap Center in 1987 - a momentary lapse of reason.

That is awesome, probably only cost $20 a show too

It would seem like a good idea, though they played the same exact set every night.

And I lost my car on night 3 and had to walk around the cap center multiple times to find it. I basically wound up waiting until everyone else had left, and my car was the only one still there.

Regarding Pink Floyd


Most interesting David Gilmour interview,  along with his wife Polly Samson, where he responds without addressing him by name to Roger Waters horrid post of last week regarding the Animals 5.1 mix reissue or he responds to the issues they are having (interview conducted before Waters’ Facebook post) when I was young I was “team Waters” all the way but the years have taught me how wrong I was…. Roger Waters is a very damaged individual

Waters…it’s just amazing how bitter he is…seriously something wrong with this man

CHVRCHES + Robert Smith: How Not To Drown


Scottish indie pop outfit CHVRCHES and The Cure’s Robert Smith have teamed up for “How Not to Drown,” which also happens to be the first song off the band’s upcoming fourth studio album, Screen Violence. The album will be released on Aug. 27 on Glassnote Records. more.

A Northern Soul Compilation aka being on brand as usual

McCoy Tyner - Expansions

McCoy Tyner - Time for Tyner



This dude had a very good ratio of excellent to poor records… I don’t think he cut many bad ones


This is a live concert tribute to his old band mate Coltrane… Bobby Hutcherson is fantastic as usual on vibes..

I saw Tyner in college park in the 2000s…he was still totally sharp.. still pushing the envelope and challenging the listener

I missed Hutcherson when he played the Roslyn festival one year (or was it canceled?)… that was really too bad…Idle Moments is credited as a Grant Green recording but it’s really Hutch’s show…one of the gateway jazz albums for me

Now they are both gone

Lorde: Solar Power
(backing vocals by Phoebe Bridgers and Clairo… also features an upskirt shot of lorde's butt)

Please refer to her by her full name “secret Boardie favorite, Lorde”.

So which was the biggest show Anthem ever booked: Foo Fighters, secret boardie favorite Lorde or Billie Eilish?

Honestly, it’s probably Billie Eilish if secondary market prices are used as a metric.

Yes that’s always been my view

Just curious if anyone sees it differently

All three shows were atypical

Foo Fighters cause it was a part of the whole opening over two days including the soft opening

Lords couldn’t play Verizon cause it was booked…she cracked me up all night talking about how great it was to play a small club!

And Billie Eillish blew up after tickets went on sale…saw some people get burned who bought tickets on secondary market…some heartbreak

The Foos play DC so often, I wouldn’t even put them in the top three. Honestly, Florence and the Machine might supplant them. Those were like $275/ticket week of.

Lizzo is another one the anthem booked right before they exploded.

NIN and Beck were pretty good gets too. Those LCD SS reunion shows right after it opened felt huge too

I’d probably rank like:

1 Billie Eilish
2 Florence and the Machine
3 Lorde/RTJ
4 Lizzo
5 Foo Fighters
6 NIN
7 LCD SS
8 Beck

Probably forgetting something big.

Good point about Lizzo and Florence

LCD shows were great…am ready for another

Burning Spear - Dry & heavy


So good

Didn't Lizzo open for Haim?

Kenny Chesney was a bit name show. And Kacey Musgrave a aye Anthem right before romping at the Grammys.
