I’ve got tickets for New Order/Pet Shop Boys at the Hollywood Bowl in October. It will be my third time seeing NO, but my first for PSB.

Fantastic!  I’m a huge Joy Division/New Order/Peter Hook and the Light fan,  I’d love to see them at Maddison Sq. Garden.  Trying my best to get tickets at the mo. I’m in UK.

Never got to see either and still listen to both- a lot.
So do my poor kids
 :lol
That should be a cool show.

Amazingly I finally saw TOOL out here of all places- and they had their entire crazy art collective thing happening still.
Still can't believe they hauled that entire production out here and set it up.
Easily one of my favorite bands and that whole experience kind of evades description.

Who knows when I'll get time to see another show out here- given how infrequently big things happen.
Relax, all right? My old man is a television repairman, he's got this ultimate set of tools! I can fix it.

I have tickets later this year (rescheduled twice already) for Motley Crue, Def Leppard, Poison, and Joan Jett & the Blackhearts together.  Should be a glorious mess. :)

Saw Rob Zombie last night.  I tire of his songs if they are left in regular rotation, but it was spectacular show!  I definitely recommend.
There were giant screens, gigantic costumes & all the hits.  John 5 adds a lot to the experience.
One of the opening bands referred to Zombie as "the godfather of this ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---".  I wanted to yell "---That which is odiferous and causeth plants to grow---, Al Jourgensen is!", but kept my thoughts to myself.

Mudvayne isn't my cup of tea.

I was never a fan of Static X, but liked a bunch of stuff that they played that was new to me.  Guess I need to give their back catalog a listen.
I probably wouldn't have enjoyed it as much with Wayne Static fronting.

It's been a while since I've been to a concert.  I thought $10 for a beer was insane before.  It's $18 now.
They were selling mixed drinks for $25.
The venue did permit you to carry in one 20oz bottle of water which I took advantage of. 
It saved me enough to pay for a redbull when it got close to my regular bedtime.

Ministry, KMFDM, and FLA were supposed to do a concert here 2 years ago.  Monsters of industrial or whatever.  Tickets were expensive and I’ve been burned before so I had ticket insurance.  Then COVID so I cashed in the insurance.  Then they canceled and Ticket Master refunded my money.

So fast forward to spring 2022, concert had been delayed two more times.  KMFDM and FLA dropped out and then eventually Ministry threw in the towel.

The show allegedly went on with, of all bands in the world, The Melvins.

King Buzzo can ---smurfette--- about Nirvana all he wants… I made $160 off Ticket Master.

Would have been better 30 years ago but it is what it is.

Follow up:  Got sick on Friday.  Didn't test positive for covid until Saturday morning.    I was probably ok until leaving in a walking dead style herd.

Went to my first post COVID concert Sunday. Lamb of God with Suicide Silence and Killswitch Engage. It has really been way too long for me. Had a blast.

Took 3 hours to get Taylor Swift tickets today!!  I would actually go to this but we only got 2 tickets for my daughter and her friend.

The two of us are going to see The Smile this Friday in Brooklyn so I'm really looking forward to that.  We will grab dinner before the show and hopefully bond a little - college in less than a year and I'm starting to panic.

I still can't believe that TSOL played out here a month ago and I didn't hear about it until the show would've been ending.

Busy concert year... in addition to the TWO National shows in August I'm going to see TOOL in November and probably Boy Genius at MSG in October (tickets on sale this week).  I might also be the +1 to Fall Out Boy in August if my daughter doesn't find someone else to go with (she is coming to all of these shows with me so she might be sick of me!).

$5 says Maynard is "sick" or "has a hurt foot" or finds some other excuse to sit in a chair on the back of the stage.

I saw them last year and Maynard stood behind the band for the entire show.  Adam on the left and Justin on the right with Danny in the middle kind of set back.  There were 2 elevated platforms next to the drum kit that Maynard switched between.  He had a huge mohawk and wore a tight leather outfit and barely addressed the crowd - it was a great show!

That sounds about like what everyone else says.  Haven’t been personally.

I got to see TOOL a few years back out here and I was stunned to see they had all the crazy light and imagery stuff fired up.
Impressive band and show.
Mr. Keenan was less introverted/injured/cranky/or whatever for that show anyway.
Maybe 10 years ago or more now that I really think about it.

Both shows for The National were great.  The setlists were pretty diverse and we got to hear some new songs.

Tool is up next in November but I also got tix for King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard for August 2024.  Can't wait for that one as I've been obsessed with this band for the last few years.

I haven't had much time for any evening activity in years but for my 2023 birthday the lady bought tickets for us to go to the Blue Note here in Waikiki.

Forty years after I first heard her play music I finally got to see Sheila E live.
WOW.

Here celebrating her (66th!) birthday this week with her parents in tow and she is really funny, has assembled a great band of course, and she is an absolute MONSTER on a drum kit yet still.

Plays with an athleticism that is impressive no matter your age and for anyone who has tried they can tell you that to be able to play drums (never mind that well in so many different styles) and be able to sing at the same time too is actually damn hard.

Just- WOW.

Always a good time to see people playing music who are having such a good time doing it.

Holy crap. You look pretty good for 2023 years old.

You don't look a day over a 1000.
