Catching up on many things in this thread:

A. I wish Godspeed were playing Austin this tour — I've never seen them, but I've heard they were insanely loud.
B. My loudest was far and away MBV, but I found the level of loudness kind of schtick-like to a degree, got bored and left like halfway through ‍️.
C. Would love to see Mdou Moctar. I've caught Tinariwen a few times coming through here, and they're always amazing. Definitely something in Mali that produces fantastic music.

Same here
I could feel the guitar parts in my teeth during the set

My whole body was vibrating for at least an hour after.

Dinosaur Jr is always crazy loud. They moved me to start wearing earplugs. Thirty years is better late than never I guess.

Haha this is me

Smashing Pumpkins, last night in Berlin (Wuhlheide)

Looks like a great show. For some reason I had it in my head that Billy Corgan was some sort of a recluse now. I’d love to see them here

Still doing music (when not promoting wrestling), contemporary stuff not really worth mentioning. But some of the old ones still burn.

I was cutting a guy’s hair a couple weeks ago. He’s a regular customer named Fernando. He has a really deep gentile voice so it was no surprise he was the announcer at the local strip club. His dad is a customer as well and we aren’t allowed to talk about it in front of him because he doesn’t know.

Fernando moved on from that gig to ring announcer for Albuquerque’s local wrestling organization. So Fernando comes in all school girl giddy asking for a great cut because he has a meeting with the dude who just bought the local wrestling outfit.

Any guesses who that was?

@Matt no way…

[Matt]

Yes way.

That’s an interesting journey, rock star to wrestling promoter/owner

Kings of Leon in Birmingham on Saturday night - excellent sound, superb audience participation (considering the indoor arena venue and size) and a better overall performance than when we last saw them 2 years ago. I have been sceptical of the new album, but the new songs they played came across well.
Warm night to be indoors - hoping the weather holds out this week for Foo Fighters and Pearl Jam.

I saw KOL in the mid 00s and it was a casino theme. There were gaming tables scattered throughout the venue and even a fake Vegas style marriage area. It was a lot of fun.

Sleaford Mods - fun as always

Viagra Boys killed it, great performance

and in the wee morning hours DEADLETTER - fantastic performance, there's a future there for sure - recommend to listen to them on spotify, great live act as well

End of another incredible Red Rocks run with the most influential band in my life….Widespread Panic!!

1. My sister brought me to my First show in 1998. We still go to almost every show together.
2. 26 years and too many shows to count (about 150) Traveled the country seeing this band.
3. Met my best friend 25 years ago and best man at my wedding there (we were in the same abnormal psychology class in college but bumped into each other at a show and the rest is history)
4. Met my wife at a Panic Red Rocks show
5. Two years later got engaged at a Panic Red Rocks show

This weekend was three incredible shows for the books!!

@Mizmazzle thanks for sharing, Red Ricks is magical for sure. I have seen many shows there. And WSMFP is a great jam band. Glad you had a blast!

[Mizmazzle]

@Nittpics thanks dude. Funny thing is, is that I can’t stand jam bands haha. Something about Panic is totally different for me. I respect the Dead…they have some legendary songs for sure. Panic has a very raw sound that gets dirty as hell.

@Mizmazzle You know I’m a Phish guy, so that practically makes us cousins! But WSMFP Jams
