I kinda like Rancid, but an 8 song set means they are still playing 6 songs I don't know.

Then you missed one of the greatest punk albums of all time.

Thanks for the input Mrs. Armstrong. Smashing Pumpkins canceled the Austin show.
Well…you sounded taller on radio.

Smashed?

Haha. I thought it was because of the new band member, but found out they are playing elsewhere. Didn't really care about seeing them though.

Video of Perry Farrell fighting with Dave Navarro on stage in Boston. Ended show early.

Oasis style.

Follow up from The Mavericks in Dallas last Saturday: They were fantastic! So much energy and the songs were incredible. The crowd was fun.

I've never seen this before though: during the first two songs, you could see Raul Malo was having issues with his guitar and kept talking with a roadie who came on stage and tried to fix whatever was wrong. He then said something to the effect of this has started off crappy and they were going to take 5. The roadie continued to work on the speakers and brought out new ones. They returned to the stage and halfway through the next song you could see he was not happy and then his guitar stopped working again and he's pissed. He then says something and HEAVES his guitar off stage and storms off. They come back later and finish the show but that was a first for me (except for Axl Rose who broke his guitar on purpose). Made for a tense beginning but they overcame and were incredible. I wonder if the roadie had to walk home?


Interesting. Raul mentioned this and apologized for his behavior in an instagram post.

they have already toured 3 years in a row, 2022-2024.


Plus, These last two years were only like 30 shows each, and half as many cities (since they did 2 at each).

That's a light load for them.

We are talking about metallica here, they are road warriors.

Deftones and Mars Volta are doing an arena tour together. They are hitting all 4 of the big Texas cities.
Austin (4/12), San Antonio (4/13), Dallas (4/15), and Houston (4/16)

Toyota Center for TMV and Deftones? Good lord. I've still never seen the latter, but they're not known for being great live either.

Is there enough Deftones demand for an arena tour?

Even I think that's silly for Houston (even though I'm seeing them in a stadium in November)

seems ambitious to me.

But those end stage setups are not that many people.. they are less than your typical woodlands pavillion type place which are high teens. End stage arena is maybe 10k-12k?

That was my initial thought but they did some arena stops for their 2022 tour. I imagine they go with a lower bowl only setup. Perhaps they start off offering the entire arena and then move down the upper deck people if its evident by the day of the show that everyone will fit in the lower bowl.

Still needs to be a bayou place or white oak kind of a show - they packed WO with gojira a couple years ago

And Mars Volta filled up 713 Music Hall (seats 5000) last year so perhaps the theory is 2 bands that can fill up 5000 seat venues should be able to get 8,000-10,000 in an arena

Yeah forgot to mention 713 … that would be a great spot
Proposition Joe

The theory is you've got open venues and you don't want there to be too little capacity.

I just don't like arenas but will make exceptions for certain bands. Both of these still have big fan bases.

Ask the Black Keys how this worked out for them. There are others that followed that I can't remember off the top of my head.

ill say Deftones have had packed shows for damn near 30 years ... all the homers (including myself) will buy tickets, and as mentioned TMV folks will come since they dont get out often. Deftones for some reason have hit a resurgence lately with younger folks.

Their live show is always great, even if Chino kind of sounds like middle aged ass compared to the adrenaline/ATF days. Sounded great at Crosses earlier this year.

Ill be curious to see how the "sold out" baseball stadium show is in San Diego.

First saw Leon Bridges at Scat Jazz Lounge in FTW. Crazy to think he's playing arenas now.

Got the Eagles at The Sphere on Saturday. Pretty excited to A) get The Sphere experience, and B) of course add another Eagles show to the resume.

Won't hurt watching college football at a sportsbook either.

Will do. We went with seats on the 2nd level a little to the left. Would have preferred more center, but a section to the right essentially doubled the price.

Will be great to see it. Prior residencies at the sphere have looked incredible, so I can't wait to see their spin on the production!
