QuoteNashvilleBlues Quotetommycharles Interesting, this thread is the first time I’ve heard anyone badmouth Wix. He’s always spot on every time I’ve heard him play with Paul. Maybe his monitor wasn’t working well. Maybe something else was wrong. I don’t doubt he’s top-notch. The sound was off. That’s all I’m saying. I’m not the only one saying that about keyboards at the Nashville show. Shit ha

It’s one of my least favorite of their albums, but perusing the demos, out takes, and live tracks today has been a blast. One heartwarming thing was the 78 rehearsal tracks with Moon - the fairly lackluster drumming on WGFA from The Kids Are Alright put word out that he was completely spent by the end, and the other 78 on here kind of disprove that. That’s as rousing a Drowned as he ever played.

MSG was a really really good show. Crowd was up for it (this was #7 for me and I’ve never heard a who audience sing so loud), Pete and Rog in mostly good moods (Rog said he was having a crap night and wanted to go home, at one point, but it must have been tongue in cheek because he was all smiles all night). We got Long Live Rock which I’d never heard live before. And Katie Jacoby guested on B

Quotespikenyc Its only the first show of the tour. Cut them some slack, They are a little rusty now. Hopefully they will get better as the tour goes on. Im may try to get a cheap ticket for Newark tomorrow night. For sure - they always take a bit of time to get going. I’m seeing them twice on this run, so I’m not just being grumpy, but it does seem like Pete’s guitar went missing in these

QuoteShawn20 I’m going to see them in Madison Square Garden. Of course I will be thinking about “Welcome to the breakfast show” as I await the performance. I’ve never seen an event at MSG. It should be fun. Will be my first MSG show too! Having it the same weekend as Oasis was too convenient to pass up.

Coldplay have surfed the generations better than most bands. Those of us who sort of fell off after Viva La Vida still like hearing the old songs, and plenty of younger people like the more recent stuff. Ben Gibbard said in an interview a few years ago that the only way for Death Cab to have got bigger would have been to go the Coldplay route and start working with trendy producers, and they d

The band has meant so much to me over time that I can’t resist catching a couple of shows on this last run, but overall the Roger era (2012- ) has been pretty disappointing, starting with sacking Rabbit and ending with sacking Zak.

I think only Springsteen and Coldplay are over this number in terms of individual income with their highly successful current tour. I think Taylor Swift's last tour dwarfs any other tour. Yeah, Swift did

QuoteMadMax This version of Acquiesce is proper weird, the singing sounds like the original version until the second verse which is identical to the first and which is always sung live since late '95. A shame that Liam never sings the second verse as that is a very beautiful one indeed. I do wonder if this is not a "Frankenstein job", a bit like our boys have done since the Exil

QuoteBig Al This’ll be the first ‘retrospective’ Oasis set-list. I reckon we’ll get a reasonable mix of tracks, incorporating all periods.

Here are the tracks from each album, that I think are possibilities: Definitely Maybe: Rock
