Who are you... doot dootFollow

Goo Goo Dolls, Ben Folds and Guster on the 4th of July in the pouring rain 2004. Guster was a much better show than Goo Goo dolls btw.

Pretty much every time I've seen Floggy Molly live has been awesome. Something about watching a full band all rock out on their instruments while holding and drinking a pint of Guiness was impressive.

Uh huh..

"Pardon me, sir, but your hand is on my girlfriend's cr-- no, no, go ahead and finish what you were doing but it was MY turn and I... you ate a WHAT to cut into line? Shit man, lemme get her zipper for you..."

*nods*

Saw him last weekend, lawn seating. Absolutely amazing. The quality of the sound, the theatrics, the lightshow... incredible. The even had the freaking blow-up pig! (see: my avatar)

I'd give a very large amount of money to have good seating for that show. When the tickets were bought, I didn't know what to expect. Now I'd be willing to shell out some extra dough in order to get closer and to really be "in" the sound.

EDIT: That, and I would have liked to have seen Genesis perform The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway back in their prime. Alas, it was not to be.

If I could have an encore of a concert I've gone to, I'd want an encore of seeing Moneen And Choke at a local bar. Best mosh pit ever. I almost broke my arm and three of my fingers that night.

The Who at Shea stadium in 1983, the last loud and therefore good tour.
The Smithereens in a very small NJ club for a suprise concert, that I got wind of from friends while in College in NJ, back when they where still popular.
Bruce Springsteen in the Meadowlands.
Chuck Berry for a New Years Eve Concert, the man could still rock at 70.
U2

Most of mine would require a time machine: The Buzzcocks in '91, Sonic Youth/Firehose in '86, R.E.M. in '86, The Meat Puppets '88-'92, Slowdive/Ride in '92, The Pixies in '92, the list could go on for a while.

As for currently active bands, I need to see Air, Kraftwerk, Broken Social Scene, Death Cab for Cutie, Mission of Burma, Gang of Four and Yo La Tengo as many more times as I possibly can before they either hang it up or go downhill. (It may already be too late for Death Cab, but their sets still seem to be loaded with Transatlanticism tunes.)

I saw the 'oo in '88 on what Pete dubbed the "12-piece band playing Who songs" tour. I know it wasn't the "real" Who, but it was still damn entertaining. From what I've heard of the live tapes floating around from the more recent tours, just when you think they can't possibly do a great show anymore, they do just that. Seek out the soundboard of the Tampa show from June 24 (I think) of 2000 to see what I mean. It's good to know that a band over 30 years past it's prime can occasionally kick out a performance that stands right along with their best...well...until the shockingly cheesy encore, which is almost so bad it's amusing.

Oy, fuCk you. They cancelled their Madison show on tuesday. Refund only, no reschedule.

I'd love to see Nine Inch Nails again. They put on a fantastic show at Summerfest.

Looking forward to Bob Dylan and Foo Fighters (accoustic) on Halloween. Oh, and i'd kill to see Led Zeppelin w/ Pink Floyd. So long as I went to jail after the show was over.

Yeah he was in Madison last year I think. Heard it was a horrible show (the Dylan part at least). Gonna give it a shot anyways 'cause his new album is great and the guy is a legend.

I need to see him and B.B King before they die.

DragonForce. You haven't lived until you've seen a Korean play a guitar solo with chopsticks, and some dude play his keyboard behind his head. Seriously, even if you hate the music... those guys are worth seeing just so you can say that you have. Of course if you like the music as well, that's a bonus =P

Saw a band called 'Buzzcocks' a few times late '70s early '80s.

Notice? No 'The'?

Ever heard of 'The Led Zeppelin' or 'The R.E.M.'?

Nope. You are an cUnt.

So were you forced to only drink Miller?

This made me take an eyeball at the records, and it appears that the band themselves did it both ways. Singles Going Steady is always marked "The Buzzcocks" on the spine, Another Music In A Different Kitchen varies by pressing, Love Bites is always "Buzzcocks", and the box set Product is credited both ways depending on where you look. Looking over the old singles, those are equally confused and seemed to go with whatever looked better with the artwork. Come to think of it, John Peel flipped back and forth on the name, the encore chant at a gig is almost always "The Buzzcocks", the backdrop at the gigs always reads "Buzzcocks" but the drummer's kit in '91 clearly said "The" Buzzcocks. I'm thinking Shelley and Diggle are fine with it either way. It's certainly better than being forgotten.

It's the same case with Pixies and The Pixies. Almost all of the releases are credited to "Pixies" but they are almost always referred to as The Pixies.

It could be worse...I've seen DJ's say The Sonic Youth or The Gang of Four on numerous occasions. The Pink Floyd would be correct if referring to the Barrett era but not after and The Talking Heads is a common mistake.

The funny thing is that you mention R.E.M.. It the mid 80's many DJ's botched that by trying to pronounce it as a word rather than letters.


anyway...I has me some record racks to assemble...
