I’m actually going to California on the 18th. But I love the idea of making it happen sometime.

[Matt]

We get a few decent shows down here. I’ll keep you posted. Coming up I have Evan Dando, Slowdive, Sleater Kinney and the aforementioned Dad Punk show.

[Matt]

@mclaincausey I liked DW I like very few things.

@Matt said in Memorable concerts:

Slowdive

The opener for them on this tour are friends of friends of mine.
I'd recomend trying to catch their set

[popvulture]

[GraemeE]

@popvulture yeah

[popvulture]

@GraemeE fucking love those guys. So good.

[GraemeE]

Totally agree

In a past life I was an average-at-best musician but I still have a lot friends who can stay up past 12 on a school night and fit into size 30-32 jeans

had a girlfriend who was a U2 fan— saw them in disguise opening for themselves as a country band called The Dalton Brothers on the Joshua Tree tour.

Beer bellys, zztop length beards, bibs the whole look.

My dad loves to tell the story of having to literally make me go see Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band play Reunion Arena in Dallas on the Born in the USA tour. It was 1984, I was 13 and totally getting into X, Hüsker Dü, R.E.M. and The Replacements so I absolutely didn’t have any interest in seeing “the boss”. But he convinced me to go and it turned out to be one of the best concert experiences of my life. I learned how a performer could use storytelling to keep a huge audience engaged and wanting more. It’s a show I’ll never forget and made me a Bruce fan for life. And of course the band was insanely good.

[Matt]

The River reunion tour in 2016 was the best show I’ve ever seen. I’ve seen lots of shows.

[SKT]

@Matt bet it was nuts. Do you remember how long they played?

[Matt]

They played all of The River then for shits and giggles played all of Born to Run.

[IrishHeart]

@SKT I saw Springsteen for the first time in Birmingham last year and it is one of the greatest gigs I’ve ever seen. He was brilliant and the band were outstanding.
I was buzzing for days afterwards.

[SKT]

Yeah the funny thing is I’ve never seen him live since that first show. Unacceptable and need to make sure I catch him next time I get the chance
