The CONCERT thread

Jack White blew the roof off the building last Tuesday in Sacramento. Goose was decent at the Masonic in SF last night.

I slept on those JW tix.
How the heck didja score?

I got a press release this morning at 8a.m. about DENGUE FEVER at the UC Berkeley Botanical Gardens and the show was already sold out!

Ugh, I missed out! Another JXN concert story from me - I had tix to see the White Stripes at Snow King in 2007 and they cancelled it for Megs anxiety attacks. They only played together once on Conan after that, no more concerts, they never made another album, and eventually they broke up due to her anxiety.

I was *this* close to seeing them...

After they cancelled in Jackson, I think he came back and did a small show at the Pink Garter for about 200 peeps in a tiny venue.

Dook,

We just bought the tix when they came on pre-sale. Our friends went both nights. The second night (our night) was better apparently. Channel 24 is a killer venue. I never wear earplugs. I wish I had a pair.

Got free tickets to see Ryan Adams on the Heartbreaker tour. We havent been listening to him much since the allegations but couldn&#39;t resist free and that he was playing Heartbreaker, a great album. Venue was about a third empty and I expected him to be appreciative of the fans that showed up to support him in a dicey time. Instead, it was a giant FU to the audience and a freaking trainwreck of a show.

The first set was most of the Heartbreaker album - but he pulled a Dylan and the songs were unrecognizable. He went on a rant about how the first set was for us (?) but he would do whatever he wanted in the second set. Which would have been fine, but was mostly self indulgent BS. He did a really bad rendition of Over the Rainbow and had non-stop rants (against music industry, how much of a victim he is, etc.), begging for money, and chastising the audience for calling out song requests or for leaving early. The dude spent more time talking than playing and it got real frustrating.

We finally left after he told an antecdote where Dylan supposedly told him he (RA) was the true master. The best song of the night was Bartering Lines where he brought in the bass player from Cannibal Corpse and drummer was the merch guy. It was a pretty sick groove actually, but didn&#39;t make up for the rest of the night.Despite free tickets I left feeling I was due a refund. One of the worst shows I have ever been to.

Fans yelling for for him to sing Summer of 69 and him get pissed was a top tier troll

Ha! I should have tried that one...

Ministry was a good entertaining show and my first at Mission ballroom. That place is great! Especially the VIP. Lots of industrial black leather freaks in the crowd. Ministry played a lot of their old library that I hadn't heard in years, if every. Sat next to an old Japanese lady from Lakewood who was a superfan. I had to explain that I was just a casual fan and she was perplexed. haha. They ended with a song or two from their more modern stuff, like GDWT which was cool. KMFDM was a good opening act.

^^^^^^^

Holy fuck. I did not know Ministry was touring with KMFDM. I knew they were out but thot they were only playing Halloween and shite.

Figures. Double dog damn.

2 of my fave live bands. Ministry1992 Lollapalooza - Louder than anyone by far. Epic. KMFDM - Lucia is a smokeshow too.

[slcdawg]

I bet that was a good show. I've seen Ministry a few times but never KMFDM,
