I am unfortunately not going again tonight! Will be interesting to see how he contrasts tonight with last night. I was pleasantly surprised that they just went straight into In The Clear off the top! I loved the set list but see how it can be fun to go to many more Billy shows. Huge catalogue with a lot of unique covers so no 2 shows are near the same.

Les Claypool came out last night and they played "Billy Was a Race Car Driver". Then opened the second set with "Cassidy".

Maybe I should just start a separate Billy thread and dear diary myself. /ohbilly.gif

maroon barchetta-the walk off music the other night that Billy chose in San Diego was "2112 Overture/The Temples of Syrinx" btw. I would be happy if every concert I walk out of has that blasting over the PA moving forward.

Jerry was a race car driver?

Yes but:

SETLIST NOTES

w/ Les Claypool on bass guitar

FTP - Adaptation of the Primus original "Jerry Was A Race Car Driver" for Billy Strings birthday

Les Claypool on lead vocals

[/ol]

OK, this is probably going to sound totally dumb but... I didn't realize that Megadeth varied their set list so much between cities.

I bought some new Victrola bluetooth speakers that look like rocks to put in my backyard and I was testing them with some recent concert footage from Megadeth.

I was watching the San Antonio show from last week and during Symphony of Destruction, there was no noticeable crowd chant.

I was lucky enough, I guess, to have enough South Americans at the show in LA last week that I got to hear in person (and sadly, for the last time) - the chant of "Megadeth, Megadeth, aguante Megadeth" during "Symphony of Destruction".

When I was hanging out at Dirt Bar with Digging Tunnels and Echoes 97 before the Rush show last week, there was a guy there from Minnesota who said his biggest disappointment was that Megadeth didn't play Hangar 18.

When I told him that they opened the LA show with 2 x Metallica songs and they played Hangar 18, that dude wanted to cry - as he was telling me about how Megadeth calls "The Four Horsemen" "Mechanix" (as if I didn't know - LOL).

9/27 was 40th anny of cliff. Probably why it showed up on that night.

As an opener, they may rotate stuff more, since they do have quite a few songs expected to be played.

As a headliner a few years ago I remember when I saw them it was the same as the few nights before.

Was this at the Amp? Greatest place ever if so.

johnnyblaze36Was this at the Amp? Greatest place ever if so.
Yes, at The Amp. Turnpike Troubadours are there Oct 24 and I am tempted to fly back.

Had a very difficult time buying 6 tickets with the AXS app. It has strict security that made it nearly impossible to verify I wasn't fake. I had to get off WiFi and was only able to login using cell service.

A couple of instances, the app timed out while entering cc details. When I logged back in, the seats were gone. Waited 10 minutes for those seats to be released from the timed out cart.

No ticket for John Mayer at the Sphere so far. I tried a couple initial dates and they sold out, then he opened more dates and pretty much the same. Anytime I got in the lowest ticket was $1000. After a few hours I tried again and could see some additional seats but the lowest I ever saw was about $550. Need to consult the wife because frankly I'm not sure I want to drop that much.

More on sales the next couple days so I'll play around then.

And... looks like he added yet more dates.

sounds like metallica.. word around the campfire is sphere only allows artists to release so many dates at once..

Metallica has 24 dates, but it was like 4 waves of releases within a weeks time

I just assumed it was to create a bit of false scarcity to get the FOMO pumping.

Same reason they only release certain rows of tickets at a time for concerts now, so it looks like half the arena is already sold.

This process has radicalized me. Just let me pay a fair amount for a ticket.

I think that's just presales, due to allocations.

One general sale starts, in my experience, they are all there.

What's curfew at the woodlands these days? 11:00?

Thinking of taking my son out there this weekend, been a few years since my last show.

I think that's about when Mumford wrapped up

No, several public sales i have seen either entire sections shown as sold or every other row, then later in the day those same sections available.

God woodlands lawn tickets are $75+ these days? I'm def turning into old man yelling at clouds with everyone else on ticket prices these days

Back in myyyy day we'd pay less to see NIN, SOAD etc just to kick it on the grass

Have you considered not being old?

muse tickets for lawn got down to $30-$40 on resale in Houston.
Was driving me nuts cause Denver resale never got below $70.

I've learned in the last year or so, for non high demand shows, and bands in just casually a fan of, I wait until close to show date. Prices drop.

I didn't follow my own method for breaking Benjamin last week. Bought soon after on sale date for $60; day before show was $40.
Didn't care about a close seat.

That's exactly the show I'm looking at for Saturday - Chevelle/Breaking Ben … definitely falls into that category of 'don't have to go but if the price is right….'

I'm going to do the same and see what it looks like day of and grab a couple if they come down. It's really just to go rock out a little with my boy

Def Leppard announced a new tour. Going to do the Houston show, maybe back to back it with the San Antonio.

Who is with them?

The Goo Goo Dolls and The Struts, which is an odd combination.

I'm with you! I feel like the concerts I'm willing to pull the trigger on is less and less and have started to fall into two categories and it's all about timing.

Old school acts: Toadies, Our Lady Peace, etc.

New bands catching them on their way up: IDLES, Fontaines D.C., Turnstile

For example Fontaines and Turnstile would probably not be playing White Oak next time around and the prices will be 2-3 times what I paid to see them.
