Who are you going to see?

[homerj]

I’m probably going to see Train next Thursday. Hey, Soul Sister is one of the worst songs ever but other than that i mostly like them. The Saturday after that i might go see 3 Doors Down. They’re fine but Candlebox is opening for them & that’s the main reason I’d be going.

Wife and I just locked tix in for the Out of the Blue Festival. Its a 4 day folk music festival that just got announced. January 7-11 in Mexico. All inclusive and the concerts are right there on the beach.

Im not one for music festivals per say. But between the fact that its a trip to Mexico in the dead of winter, the wife and I love 8 of the 10 bands preforming for the festival. Im pretty stoked to be going to this. It should be a great time.

Saw Blackberry Smoke last night in Reading PA.. Man those guys can play. My buddy knows them so we had all access. Super nice guys as well as top notch musicians. If you like southern rock or just appreciate awesome guitar playing check these guys out.

As long as it’s not fire and rain you should be in good shape.

Man I’d love to see Tori Amos. Little Earthquakes is probably in my top 10 favorite albums.

I saw Helloween and Hammerfall in Royal Oak, fantastic show.

zinger565 I have seen Coheed at least 20 times and they consistently put on a helluva show! I have been to every one of their "Neverender" style tours where they play the entirety of an album and that seems to be the only time you can hear certain songs like Gravity's Union, Fear Through The Eyes of Madness, Al The Killer, 21:13, etc. Some shows have blown me away, but they're always, at least, awesome!

Small report:

Saw the Silverstein show last month, but I'll start with the openers:

One Step Closer: I actually found that I really liked these guys. Tons of energy, solid performance, really good stage presence. Picked up an album from the merch station to support them.

SeeYouSpaceCowboy: Not my favorite, still good, just not my jam.

Dayseeker: Solid band, just a bit too on the low-key side of things. I'm sure for fans it was a great show. Rory is an amazing vocalist who puts a ton of emotion into his work.

Silverstein: Boy, what a killer show. One of the last stops on the tour, and Shane (lead vocals) was sick, stepping back to hit an inhaler between songs, but he gutted it out and the band picked him up. They played one hell of a setlist, including a cover of Linkin Park's One Step Closer. Full setlist here: https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/silve...i-bb849ce.html

Overall, fun concert. Found a new band for sure and got to see one of my "bucketlist" bands.

Jumping in on this a bit late, buuuuut...I saw C&C in 2019 at the Starlight in Kansas City when they toured with Every Time I Die and Mastodon, and holy crap, what a show. They even played Gravity's Union (which they almost never play live) which is a top 5 C&C song for me.

I have tix for Matisyahu and Tori Amos next time I'm home from the boat.

I plan on seeing James Taylor tomorrow night if it doesn’t get rained out. 🤞
