It was a great show. Got a great poster too…

I have a place for it.

That (above post) was a few months before seeing what must have been the greatest (and wettest) Reading Festival lineup ever!
Happy days/daze - that’s me in the Rollins shirt.

@Nocturama I saw them here in the states on that tour as well. Hard to believe they’re still going strong. Hard to believe I’m still going strong.

When the camera man starts turning around (at 03:00 min), he had my full attention in tune one….beautiful!

[Matt]

@Nocturama those photos are awesome. That Sunday line up is something else. I’ve seen most, if not all of those bands. I’m wearing my Pavement shirt today.

The first Smith has passed. RIP Andy Rourke. This is pretty sad music news for me.

[IH-GARY]

Heartbreaking news for sure @Matt

I picked up the debut Smiths album not long after it’s release. It made a big impression on me, but shortly after, my cousin shared a live bootleg tape with me that featured the song Barbarism Begins At Home.
This one song amazed me and lead to a life long obsession with the band. I would constantly listen & rewind the track over & over - Andy’s bass line was hypnotic. To this day the funkier Smiths tunes are always my favorites.

Later in life I was able to purchase the bass from Andy that he used for the album recording of BBAH.

RIP Andy Rourke.

Incredible

@jerkules The drumming in this by the new Foo Fighters drummer is freakin nuts.

Finally got to see Billy Strings. Holy shit. What an incredible show. The whole band is incredible, and Billy Strings showed a level of mastery of his craft that I hadn't seen before in video recordings of his shows. Some of the shows that I've watched online from 3-4 years ago are great, but what I witnessed last weekend was on a whole other level.

@Jett129 one of my favorite FF songs. I think he’s gonna work out…loved that fill/solo at the end

[Jett129]

@SKT One of my favorites as well. He plays like Taylor if Taylor could play like Dave Grohl. He’s a big dude,definitely works out. You need to be in that kind of shape to play drums for 3 hours.
