[warthog]

Anyone going to Mumford and Sons at USANA in West Valley,UT on Sept 26th?

We have GA tix that we scored through the fan club. Flying in for a fun weekend with friends.
Looking for a tailgate opportunity.

I'm pretty damn excited about the Slightly Stoopid show next weekend at Simsbury. Thank you again for the tickets!

Although I just read about our hotel getting busted for a " prostitue ring" a few years ago..... Should be an interesting trip either way!

Yeah mon! You're going to have a great time! I'm still bummed! Amazing only a couple shows there a year. Hitting the Portland show before hopping on the plane.

Simsbury? CT?

edit- just looked it up. My hometown. Sure wish they had a concert venue when I lived there. What hotel?

The Iron Horse Hotel... I guess the prostitution thing was a while ago and there is new owners now who have apparently cleaned the place up a bit. Hopefully.

Funny...kind of. That town seems really nice, so the prostitution thing was probably on the 'better side' of such things

The conan + slomatics split has one of my favorite covers

I'll have to ask how you find these shows for my next trip over there, I have no good way to look for good shows.

i have my regular ticket websites that i watch every week. and i read up on festivals to see who is passing through. i don't normally go to festivals but when a good band pops up its likely they are playing club shows too nearby.

this should go in the vinyl thread but here's my last haul over from my USA trip...

Edit: actually the Greenleaf is a signed copy from a secret show here in Switzerland. 😊

Damn right- WASP ho's only. Never heard of the Iron Horse Hotel though. Go to Brookside Bagels when you are there. The real deal.

DMB delivered last night. They put on a great show. Threw in a jammin 'all along the watchtower'. Good stuff!

The GA pit tix sold out in a couple minutes. Not sure what is still available. Probably Stubhub at this point.
You can probably score lawn tix and come tailgate with us. Not sure what vehicle we will have. Might need a tailgate too.

I am staying with my buddy in Sandy that you met last time. Another friend from H.S. is meeting up with us. Wives are with too. This is our Father's Day present from our wives. They rock.

See you soon buddy- serious about the biking too. I am totally in, even if the other puss out.

Great show tonight at one of my all-time favorite outdoor venues (and one of the true classics) Wolf Trap's Filene Center in Virginia.



Here was tonight's bill:



Sat on the lawn at the side of the building drinking wine and eating yummy food for NMA and Los Lobos, taking a quick peek at the boys from East LA during "Kiko and the Lavender Moon." Moved to our pavilion seats for the headline band.



Only pic I took.

Susan Tedeschi's voice is awesome, and Derek was on fire tonight. They make it seem so effortless. Fantastic show, and there was even a Snow_Slider sighting on the lawn.

one of the best opening bands i've ever seen. they opened for santana a couple years back and frankly i enjoyed it more than santana. it amazes me how zen trucks looks while he's playing, even during the most jamming leads.

Guitare en Scene Festival, France...quite possibly the best music festival I've been to.


The best female guitarist you never heard of...Joanne Shaw Taylor



Another great blues guitarist you probably never heard of...Eric Gales



Joe Satriani...



Joe's 60th Birthday Jam Surprise. ..



Dweezil Zappa and his special surprise guest...

[Ripzalot]

Iron Maiden at Paleo Festival, Nyon Switzerland. 30,000 people, about 29,500 too many for me. But still good cheesy fun. Eddie! Fire! Fire!









Eluveitie was pretty good too. I'm not much for Celtic Death Metal but they put on a great show.

David Gilmour at La Saline Royale (UNESCO World Heritage site) in Arc-et-Senans France.
Beautiful venue, perfect sound and amazing light show. And no rain.

I've been trying to see minus the bear for years. Them and radiohead my top 2 must sees that I haven't been able to get to.

Just saw they're in Bellingham the day I fly out of Seattle for vacation. Grrrraaaaggghhh! Fuck!

Rattle that lock!

Solid album too. Listened to it on the drive up for the first time. All the solo stuff sounded great live. He also did a couple from On An Island.

Caught the Atl. show sat night. Lotta fun. had never been to teratuchi trucks or howeveryouspellit before. The wife and I saw Derek Trucks at the center stage atlanta back...shit...must have been 1995 at the latest. REmber thinking he was 14 or 15 or somethin.

Posting this because it was my first time at Red Rocks and I had a blast. Good people over there in Colorada. Greensky blew the roof off after Leftover Salmon got the party rolling. The place was on fire already when unicorns started farting rainbows.

Steve Earle and Shawn Colvin touring. Going to surprise Krystal Kartwright with tickets for Sac show. Young Owen will be pissed he's not invited. He's met Steve and wants to hang out with him again.
