Trey at the Fox in Oakland 11/5
Pigeons Playing 10/18 at the Independent
Spafford perhaps in November
Joe Russo’s Almost Dead on Thursday.
Then some Phish.
No big deal.
Right now I have tickets to see:
Poi Dog Pondering at Thalia Hall in Chicago
Misterwives at the Riviera Theater in Chicago
Amos Lee at The Orpheum in Madison, WI
OAR at 20 Monroe Live in Grand Rapids, MI
OAR at The Anthem in DC

JRAD 11/11
Matisyahu 11/16
Wax Tailor and tUnE-yArDs 12/2
Blues Traveler played here sat for their 3oth anniv at a small venue. I used to be so into them. Really wanted to go, but tickets sold out fast and stub hub prices started at about 90$
Tonight, Perpetual Groove- apparently they had gone on a hiatus because one of the members was in a similar position as Trey was. Sounds like he has really come around and is playing better than ever. Really good to hear these stories, esp with bands that have a lot of history.
11/9 Holly Bowling- (Finally!!)
Seeing Holly Bowling in about 4 hours!
How was it? Saw her in September and it was tremendous.
Also she played my Twitter request so that was cool.
I just saw the Everyone Orchestra last night, anyone ever see that? I guess the trombone/vocalist from Trey’s band was up there, and Al from Moe. I didn’t recognize the others. I guess it’s a rotating lineup of all-stars, led by a conductor. It was a lot cooler than I expected it to be. I was in the opening act, singing b-vox for my friend Gary’s band, so I drove home feeling mildly relevant.
Otherwise, I ain’t seein’ squat. I’ll go catch Star Wars 8; that’s as close as I’m getting to a show anytime soon.
Was grand, really spacey second set. Third time seeing her solo, each time very different.
That I Know You Rider must have been 20 minutes at least, smoked!!
That setlist looks great. Definitely going to catch Holly anytime she plays around here.
A Perfect Circle in about 7 hours… weeeeeeee.

I may go to Mayer & Company in New Orleans.
Holy Crap, Ghost Light is amazing.
Saw the tour ender, but will not be missing them when the chance arrives.
They did a cover of There There which blew my socks off.
Last week my girlfriend and I saw Lake Street Dive at a place called Thalia Hall. This week we’re going to see U2 at the United Center. I didn’t think I was a fan of big arena shows until I saw them at the UC in like 2015, now I’m on board with it, but it really depends on the band.
Then we’re going to see Bon Iver and Ray LaMontagne next month.
Some peeps I know went to the Ghost Light show in Chicago last week, but I skipped it cause I already had plans that night.
In the last month I’ve seen way more shows than normal for me … I hit my quota for the year, if I had one.
4/27 They Might Be Giants @ House of Blues Boston
5/06 Utopia @ Orpheum Theater Boston
5/12 Stryper @ MIXX 360 Malden MA
I had a total blast at all three shows, especially Stryper honestly. Was with the tightest crew of the three, for that one, just a surprisingly smooth and fun night. Plus maybe the Lord? You never do know.
Musically I guess it’s a tough call, all three acts were very adept and tight too. Probably Utopia was most musically impressive, but seriously all three bands brought it.
TMBG is my favorite of the three bands, and it was possibly the best TMBG show I ever saw … but those other two shows made more of an overall impact in my head …
So here I’ve waded into this bizarro territory where I’m trying to rank them but cannot. And now it’s down to Lo! Behold! Yea! (pronounced yay)
Okay, stab at it time
- Utopia
- TMBG
- Stryper
But that Stryper show was great man. I’d never seen that sh!t, I thought they really did it right. I surpised my buddy for his birthday with his ticket, and Diana came along and had a great night, was teh good times.
I don’t currently have anything on my list before Tahoe.
Likely will see 1-2 shows between now and then, but haven’t landed on which yet.
Anyone got input on shows coming up in the Bay Area?
lol, I always thought that Stryper was just some generic hair metal band. I had no idea they were a Christian band until like a year or two ago.
Looking quickly at stubhub, these are the shows I’d be interested in…

June 1 - Ray LaMontagne
June 2 - Johnny Marr
