I have purchased tix for Fallout Boy in June. Ripley wanted to go with her friends for her birthday. SO ... me and 3 14 year old girls will be seeing Wiz Khalifa, Fallout bouy and some white rapper. I. can't. wait.

glatt - I agree with you. Last time I saw any of them they were awful. Bobby lost his voice what seems a decade ago. Phil never had one... I called my ex brother-in-law and we were talking about it ... he somehow got tix for $300. He's taking his wife and 2 daughters. They're all flying in from Cali. I noticed that a bunch of other friends are going as well.
Me? I'm going to spend $90 TOTAL to go see DSO at the Queen in Wilmington DE again. This time with both my sons. IF you haven't seen them, go. Well worth it.

lumberjim · 03-09-2015, 09:55 PM

DSO?

Is that a band, or am I too stupit to decode the anagram?

glatt · 03-10-2015, 07:41 AM

I figured it was a tribute band. So I Googled it, and it is.

Dark Star Orchestra

Apparently they are so serious about it that they have been joined onstage by Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, Bill Kreutzmann, and Donna Jean Godchaux. Bizarrre that the originals would play with a tribute band.

classicman · 03-15-2015, 07:59 PM

Sorry - been busy. Yes it is Dark Star Orchestra.
They are extremely talented - MUST SEE

OK, this isn't set in stone yet, but I may be going to see Yes and Toto in August. I think more people are going for Yes...but I'm a big fan of the Toto. Africa makes me almost cry I love that song so much!

glatt · 04-17-2015, 07:24 AM

Sweet! And you can share with everyone your knowledge of the bassist recently passing away.

Sweeeeeeeeet! I'll be going as well. I'm heading to Newark NJ and the I'll be seeing them in Atlantic City NJ the next day... I think. Thats the loose plan forming now.

Jane's Addiction

They are playing at the Electric Factory in Philly on Sat the 16th May... but I'm going to the Friday 16th show an hour north in Sayreville NJ. Jinx is taking the kids to the Philly show (their first rock concert) ... and the Friday show is a special presentation of Nothing's Shocking in it's entirety. Also easier for me to get there on time, as I'll be off at 1p on Friday that week.

Drive defensively.

lumberjim · 05-15-2015, 06:38 PM

So, I'm here. What a strange venue. I rode my motorcycle. I may regret this. The sky is cloudy.... This morning, the wunderground forecast said no chance of rain until about 1am. I think I'll be lucky if I come out to a dry bike. I smell moisture in the air.

Whatever. This is Jane's Addiction. And they are doing Nothing's Shocking. In its entirety. Boo. Ya.

Sold out show. Starland Ballroom. Sayreville NJ. Surprisingly rural. And the crowd is Surprisingly.... Mature. I'm just waiting in the parking lot at this point.

This is the second time I've gone to a concert alone.... I went to see Cake in 2010.... Shortly after I got fired as a husband. That was kind of sad and lonely ... Sad and lonely.

But not this time. I'm psyched. I will post clips.

Jim, were you using your phone, or your camera?

Cuz the audio was pretty awesome. Video, was good, too, but, dayum, the audio sounded like it came from the board.

lumberjim · 05-15-2015, 06:47 PM

Oh, and I parked for free because I didn't use an actual space. $7 more I can spend on..... Soda. Yay.

lumberjim · 05-15-2015, 07:08 PM

Inside now, and it is very similar to Cabo Wabo. It's a lot like a big bar. Maybe 1000 heads. 1500 to the moon.

This is going to be insane. Huge big band, little tiny venue. Someone do the math. There has to be a formula for band fame to venue size ratio.

The smaller the venue, the more intense the experience. Like imagine Led Zeppelin performing in your living room in 1977. That's the Omega.. Vanilla Ice at Woodstock is the alpha.....

So this show should definitely be in the upper 25%, right?

DanaC · 05-15-2015, 07:27 PM

Sounds fun, Jim.
