Joe Russo of Marvel movies fame?

Pretty much what I'd always dreamed their show would be like, 100% recommend seeing them if you haven't. Opening with Hotel California gave me goosebumps.

I missed out on every other Eagles tour, for various reasons. They did four nights at the Summit during the "Long Run" tour and I think I was the only kid at my high school who didn't get to go.

Thought I would never see them.

But they came through Houston right before the covid mess and I got tickets -- finally. When the old hotel keeper guy shuffled across the stage and put the album on the turntable and the band started playing, I thought I was gonna cry.

I don't know who that is but I'm not a big comic book movie guy. Joe Russo of Russo/Benevento Duo fame and JRAD. He's an incredible drummer.

Found myself in DFW unexpectedly this weekend and BIL invited me to the international guitar show. If you gave me a million bucks to spend here I'd still leave with items on my wish list. Saw sets by Matthew Scott and Derek St Holmes. Stranglehold is one of my all time favorite riffs.

I want to go sometime. It looks like a good time.

It was. I nearly walked out with an 85 Ibanez Roadstar II in good condition. Held myself to just a few picks and vinyls

Saw Springsteen in Atlanta on Saturday. Amazing the energy he and E Street still bring in their 70s.

Suggestions for parking at Moody Center in Austin? My first time there. Going to see Black Crowes and Whiskey Myers this Sunday. Not wanting to pay a lot for parking

Then you better Uber.

Caught Los Lobos last week in Phoenix. Still an amazing band, 50 years in. They can play any style of music and do it well.

They just put out a bunch of free tickets for this show (for those that get the Live Nation emails). As far as parking there's usually street parking toward the area of the Health Center garage, or further up the hill. Shouldn't be hard to find on a Sunday.

Caught Sevendust passing through Pittsburgh last night while up here on business for the week. Ive been seeing these guys for 25+ years and they still kill it.- Atreyu & Fire From the Gods opened.

My one old man gripe these days are the large LED screens as a backdrop. I get the visuals are light years from the old cloth backdrops, but they basincally just 'shadow' the band memebers on stage the entire show.

My guitar instructor and his son made a guy's trip to Atlanta recently to see them and I think Alterbridge as well. He said it was a great show and yeah, I agree about the screens. There are better ways to use screens

I was disappointed Sevendust wasn't on the bill for Houston with Alter Bridge. I would love to have seen them.

Agree on the screens depending on how they use them. Most recently Alter Bridge was fine, but when Filter opened for them it was like there were almost no stage lights and they were just shadows in front of the screen the whole set.

Makes it impossible to take a picture.

This is the extreme result of digital background screens. Death Grips from 2023 ACL.

Exactly as above - most of my pics above were mainly when the house or can lights were up

Seems like most hands are trying visuals with a 'mini sphere' experience. There was so much going on during the songs it's a bit of overload - really trying not to yell at clouds, just give me a raucous good time

Catching the Eagles and Tedeschi Trucks Band at Globe Life tonight. Never seen the Eagles before so I'm pumped.

Smashing Pumpkins announced a 30th Anniversary of Mellon Collie tour, which is great because my 15 year old has gotten into them and I've never seen them live.

And of course no Houston date, just Austin. Ugh!!!!
