      Took my niece to see The Shins, her favorite band, at Red Rocks touring in honor of the 29th anniversary of their album “Oh, Inverted World.” They played that album through and got to as many songs as they could before lightning scuttled the encore. Great show, great players. Loved the drummer, who is also in James Mercer’s (who effectively IS the Shins) and Danger Mouse’s project Broken Bells. He had a great, effortless groove and a very deep snare sound that was cool.

      We had GA tickets and I didn’t realize until we were in line that GA started at row 39. That’s too far back at Red Rocks, as the sound becomes unpredictable and subject to the whims of the weather. You do get great views up top though. So I got us a choice spot on one of the planters, which are always considered GA. Between the stage and Ship Rock, we could see a thunderstorm in the distance. So it was a dramatic setting but also a great view of the stage and band. It was both of our first Shins gig, and the album is older than she is, and she’s been listening to it since she was in the womb. I listened to it a bunch back in the day and it was good to rediscover it.

      Think it, be it.

              correct @Graham and since 3 of the band members are Andreases, this one is called Kuddel 
              a bit like the Adams at IH  😃

                    I sure did. Tonight in Duesseldorf, Germany. A smaller club, and an awesome show. I stayed away from the larger venues over the last years, but I am really glad I went tonight.

                        The Phish from Vermont burned Merriweather Post Pavilion down last night! @zhivago @derivative666
                        was too entranced to get a decent photo but great times were had for a friend’s bachelor party. Ran into some other New Zealand expat fronds there Z

                        Back to Colorado now.

                            As great as Buddy was,and he was really really great. The running joke is A guy calls Buddy Rich,and says Is Buddy home? And the woman answering the phone says I’m sorry Buddy’s dead. Next day the guy calls again…Is Buddy home? To which the woman replies Buddy’s dead. A couple of days later the guy calls again,same question,same response. This time the woman says you call every day asking for Buddy,and I tell you he’s dead! To which the guy responds…I know,I just like hearing it!

                                Was introduced to King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard this weekend. Been going through their extensive back catalogue, which is varied… The video below is a little glimpse at their more psychedelic stuff, with weird time signatures galore. These guys seem to have put out a couple of albums a year for a decade...!

                                Take the dive...

                                  +1 for Snarky Puppy (@mclaincausey beat me to it).  Going to see them in Glasgow in October!

                                  Also worth checking out Mark Lettieri.

                                      My favourite ever NMA tour was around 1991/2 and was called “The Smalltown England” tour. Only small venues mostly in out of the way towns. It was awesome. Used to see Red Sky Coven whenever possible too, and they only played back rooms of pubs.

                                      I wish they’d come to Oslo, but I need to visit Deutschland soon and they always play there  😃 It’s been too long.

                                        If you're VERY spontaneous - they have a club show on Thursday near Aachen, and there are a few tickets left 😉

                                        Judging by what you told about NMA on the podcast, I was sure that you have more great stories to share.
                                        The early nineties would have been a bit too early for me to see any rock shows, but I still have a very vivid memory of listening to Thunder and Consolation for the first time.
                                        The first glimpse I saw of the NMA cosmos was Joolz Denby who toured with a reading through the small town where I went to school. My first ever NMA show was a club show in Cologne in 1998, where the played a small venue on a surprise tour.
                                        They play Cologne regularly around Christmas every year, but as they are not getting any younger, just like their audience, these shows have been a lot slower and quieter. They even take a break in the middle ???
                                        But I saw Justin on his solo tour last year, and he was brilliant as he ever was.

                                        The show yesterday was as I had hoped for - a punk rock show for the most of the time. 'Here comes the war' is such a great live song, and the even played Vagabonds.
