Live Concerts

[mclaincausey]

Saw this crazy band March Fourth that mixes funk and brass band styles into marching band instrumentation. This shot is during a portion where the band went out into the crowd and one of the entertainers who spins batons, juggles, dances, sings, and hula hoops got up on stilts. A really great time if they come near you.

@MQR Dude, Yes! Thanks for sharing, they all looked awesome! Which one was the highlight!?

[GraemeE]

@mclaincausey those guys are from my neck of the woods and are always a fun time

They do (or used to do) a big all ages show in town every year on 3/4 - we took our oldest to a few of those

[MQR]

@jiminstitches thank you!

hmm...my biased version is The Strokes, but production-wise i think it would be Black Sabbath/Slipknot can't really pick one , but of course they all really have their awesomeness in their on way if that makes sense..

Billy Strings cooked up an ass kicking good time last night!

[Matt]

Katie and I are considering this. Anyone else?

[steelworker]

@ARNC many amps. many,many. my ears are ringing looking at this pic

[Matt]

I’ve never seen Jesus Lizard so that would be pretty cool if we can make it work. It’s about an 8 hour drive for us so that cuts back on air travel costs.

[mclaincausey]

@Matt man I love them. Some of the best records Albini ever worked on IMO.

my wife and I are going to see Earth, Wind and Fire with Chicago in July looking forward to some crazy horns and bass~!

[mclaincausey]

@Eza funny story about them from one of my wife’s colleagues: https://www.townandcountrymag.com/the-scene/parties/a29563421/bronson-van-wyck-born-to-work-forced-to-party-book-excerpt/

@mclaincausey LOL wild thanks for sharing

[TENDREL]

@mclaincausey oh man does he kick ass. Saw him two nights in Santa Barbara awhile back and I still think about those shows regularly.
Second night he got stoned and just played through the set break acoustic by himself. Was next level.

[mclaincausey]

@TENDREL I don’t think there’s a better live music experience out there. They play every note like their lives depend upon it, have a great catalog blending old timey, rock, and psychedelic covers and originals, and have serious production now.

Would give my left nut to see The Dismemberment Plan and Piebald

[Matt]

I think a plane ticket would be more cost effective in the long term than your nut. You should come out for it.

DOJ need to break up the brokers, forbid them from owning venues or having stakes in businesses that do, forbid them from exclusive contracts with venues, forbid them from owning stakes in secondary market brokers, and disembowel their executive leadership and board in front of a live audience at the Gorge in Washington.

[goosehd]

@mclaincausey I’d buy tickets to that…

I briefly looked at tickets for Taylor Swift for Laura and the girls a few months ago and decided it was cheaper to go on a vacation.

[mclaincausey]

Unrelated thought: Pearl Jam exclusively issues electronic tickets and exclusively allows sales on the ticket broker’s site, with a cap on how much can be charged over face value. This kills scalping in one stroke.

At this point; any act you see who fails to do this is just an asshole.

That's why I prefer smaller bands in independent venues.
