Man I think I saw BC open for Van Hagar with skid row back in the day … that's a name I haven't heard in a long time

I just remember that Breadmaker song


You mean Heartbreaker. That's Pat Benatar doing a Led Zeppelin cover.


She's a heartbreaker, love taker, Brubaker run this prison like a man. Oh!

Interpol was excellent on Sunday night in Houston. Too bad i left early thinking there would be no encore, but it was already 11 PM. I guess they wanted to reward a great crowd.

Has anyone been to a show at Stable Hall in San Antonio? The Black Angels are playing there next month, and I'm thinking about making the drive.

Idles in a couple weeks at White Oak should be fun. They've got some good acts lined up in the coming months:

Echo & The Bunnymen
Slowdive
Real Estate
Warpaint
Caspian
Pallbearer
Cake
Future Islands

If you like rock and have not been exposed to ghost yet, do yourself a favor and go see this.

You will become a fan. Best live show in the genre these days.

Great tunes. Their album Waking Season is outstanding and one of my favorites much less in that genre.

I'll get a ticket next trip to the venue to save on fees at the box office.

Have not been to Stable Hall yet, but talked to someone recently who said they really enjoyed the venue for a recent show.

Going to see Brother Cane tonight at Warehouse Live Midtown, blast from the past that I was a big fan of back in the day. Never gotten to see them so pretty stoked.

Upcoming shows in the next 2 weeks:

Steel Panther
King's X
Amon Amarth
Molly Tuttle
In Flames


I wish Steel Panther was another night.

I'm considering King's X but continually hear bad things about sound at that venue.
Yeah man I hear you, but King's X is damn long in the tooth, and I'm gonna see them any chance I get. There's a chance I may have to miss this one, but unlikely. If you get decently up close, it's somewhat more bearable. But there's no getting around it, the sound sucks there. I only go to shows I really wanna see there, don't bother with anything else because it is so meh. Wish King's X was at like White Oak downstairs or maybe House of Blues, but it is what it is. Saw them there last time and stood right in front of Ty the whole time. Awesome show, even if Dug can't do what he used to.

I think they are playing tuned down to C these days. I think Mr. Big did the same thing.

It would be good to take my son to see them but I don't know if he's available. Think he's got a house/dog sitting gig out of town that weekend.

I'll get roasted for this, but as good as their music is, something about them and their shows just seems dark enough to almost feel like real evil…unless it's just a parody.

when I first heard them (known as Ghost B.C. lol) and subsequently dove into youtube videos of them live back in 2013, they genuinely seemed like a satanic band, very dark, catchy as hell, but probably just gonna stay underground or at least remain in the metal world.

Man was I wrong. Within an album or two, they have Grohl producing an EP, and shot from opening for Opeth to headlining theaters and eventually arenas.

The imagery and symbolism is all a front. Per wiki; 'Afterwards Forge remarked to Lindström: "This definitely does not sound like two dudes that look like you and I". Thus Forge decided that they should be an anonymous "theater band", and use their love of horror films and "the traditions of Scandinavian metal" in the band's imagery'

A little dark arts and satanic rituals has always been cool with me at a metal show.

Worlds seem to collide with metal and the wicked

Saw Cypress Hill and the Pharcyde last night at Stubb's and both were still great all these years later. But look who saw Charley Crockett last night: freaking Jimmy Page!

Johnny Marr and James are touring together and going to Stubbs (9/29), and Bayou Center (10/1). With flakey Morrissey this might be best chance at seeing Smiths' songs live.

Wife and Daughter went to Nicki Minaj last night at Toyota, all I know at this point is they didn't get home until 3:00.

Going to Grateful Shred and Circles Around the Sun tomorrow night at Echo Lounge Dallas. Very excited for Circles, have not seen them yet. Sounds like they're doing a mixed set as they have overlap of band members so Dead covers and Circles originals back and forth with no breaks.

Got tickets to Blues Traveler in August for $25 Live Nation Concert Week sale.

How was Cypress Hill?
I'm in College Station but hit up Dallas and Austin and Houston for shows frequently since we never get anything here. Got Billy Strings on deck tomorrow in Conroe and cannot wait. Will be my 18th Billy show since December 2022.

Cypress Hill was great but it was one of the more polarizing concert experiences I've ever had. Got inside around 7:30 and it was so packed and the people I was with had VIP in the very back so I went and stood with them for about the first half of the show and the sound was horrible back there. Couldn't hear vocals at all.

So finally I said screw this and a buddy I was with and I started making our way forward through the sea of people and caught the second half from a killer spot dead center and it was such a game changer to actually be able to see and hear. They did a really good job of playing originals but also mixing them up as well and concluded with "Jump Around". Place went nuts. Chuck D came out and performed at the Dallas show with them but unfortunately not Austin. Seems like they performed for nearly two hours and the show was over by 9:50 which was nice.

I have the Fare Thee Well box set (went to the final three Chicago shows) and those Circles Around the Sun set break discs are incredible. Didn't even realize they were playing at Echo Lounge tomorrow. That should be great.

The Red Clay Strays put on a great show last night in Morrison. Brandon has such a range of vocals and Drew Nix is a great guitar player.

Honestly they're the only interesting thing to me about this year's Troubadour Festival at Aggie Park. The BBQ of course will be good, but the rest of the lineup I've ever seen too many times to count or doesn't do enough for me.

first time posting in this thread. i'm not a concert guy and i don't think i've been to a concert outside of ACL in 2016 for 15 or so years.

but my son was a big AJR fan in his early teenage years and we told him when they finally came close, we'd take him.

went to the show in Austin this week. It absolutely was not my jam, but they really did a fun job of it. i think i could have named 2 or 3 songs of theirs beforehand, but they made it a solid show for entertainment value.

Sober Up is probably the only song i could say i "like" but other than being an old man and it being too loud it was a solid outing.


in a weird turn of events, I'm also going to a Clay Walker concert this weekend. almost 10 years without having to mess with one and now 2 in a single week.

I'm such an idiot… thought their shows were tonight and tomorrow night. Saw Shane Smith and the Saints there last year. It's worth every bit of the hype.

Saw them what felt like every semester when I was at A&M at Harry's. They put on one of the best shows I've ever seen, and not to toot my own horn, but I've seen some good shows.

Saw Judas Priest last night at PNC Pavilion Charlotte with Sabaton opening.
  • Venue was fine - it's showing its age, but security line moved quickly once the doors opened and I didn't see long lines for concessions. Merch line was long, but you could order online and pickup.
  • Sabaton was pretty great - excellent energy and good crowd work from Joakim. The fans were super into them, too - lots of folks knew the entire setlist and were really digging them, which was great to see.
  • Judas Priest - Rob Halford is old. He looked like a goth leather Santa wandering around stage, and I am pretty sure at times was reading lyrics straight from the monitors for extended periods. For all that, he can still belt when he wants to, and they did play for almost two hours. The band sounded great with a setlist heavy on the hits.
