Live Concerts

@tody if there’s one thing I learned in Berlin, it’s that Germany is behind the US in the enshittification process. I really enjoyed it there and we could learn some things.

@mclaincausey I've been using cashortrade.org for years. No tickets sold over face are allowed, and they've created an awesome community on there so the process is pretty seamless. Generally pretty jam or jam adjacent focused but you can find tons of other other acts on there too.

[mclaincausey]

@TENDREL yep! Great service

Went to see Mike Watt and his Italian sidekicks Il Sogno Del Marinaio
Fantastic concert. I have a huge respect for everything MW did throughout his carreer

[jiminstitches]

10 more sleeps until I see Tool in London, cant feckin wait! Any one else going?

[endo]

Would give @Graham 's left nut to see Tool.

[jiminstitches]

@endo lol I so hope they do Pneuma

[T4920]

@jiminstitches I'm seeing them Birmingham on Thursday, first time! And KGLW the night before, woo!

[mclaincausey]

@prpx Mike Watt is an absolute hero in the punk scene and one of the ones I admire most.

[Matt]

He played bass with The Stooges when I saw them in 07. Amazing show.

[mclaincausey]

@Matt what he and the Minutemen did was enough to establish him as a legend and he’s been nonstop ever since. Just wish Boon hadn’t died so young.

[jiminstitches]

@T4920 ah mate, yeah its my first time too! What a week you'll have! We'll catch up after

[Jett129]

I saw Mike Watt in this version of The Stooges when the Ashton brothers were back in the lineup. This is a great set.

[prpx]

Yeah, also seen Watt with the Secondmen and that gig was one of the best ever. He is doing well, has some temporary issues - walks with a crutch, yet still performs with perfection and preciseness of a true legend. And for sure, ends every gig with a scream “Start your own band!!!!”
Wonderful guy

NOFX on their final tour in Cologne. It sucked badly.

[Dmart]

Just got tickets for Chris Stapleton in London. I can't wait!

[Inorganic]

@tody your last comment gave me a good chuckle and poses a good question - on a band's last tour is it better to suck or to nail it? I can see pros and cons to both arguments.

[mclaincausey]

Was able to catch up with friends I hadn’t seen, in some cases, in decades at Widespread Panic in Memphis. These are friends from high school and college, all sharing a passion for this band and each other. It was so great to finally get my wife and child (at brunch—no way she joined us at the shows ) introduced to these folks, and these folks to each other in a couple of cases where they hadn’t met.

Two spectacular shows and wonderful vibes throughout. Margo Price and Paul Cauthen were great openers and sit-ins.

I’ve seen this band well over 100 times, having rarely missed shows in the mid-south in the late 90s to early 2000s, and they still got it even having lost their lead guitarist and drummer.

[T4920]

Had a blast at Tool at the Birmingham NEC last night. I'm definitely more of a casual fan, but the whole thing blew me away. Such a tight set, Chocolate Chip Trip was a highlight for me!

[mclaincausey]

I love them. Glad you had fun!
