What concerts do you have coming up?

[Pimpadeaux 2,403]

Saw Springsteen a couple of weeks ago. Focker puts on a great show.

Learned something interesting about thickets, though. 

For the Houston and Dallas shows at least, VividSeats and other sellers slashed their prices the day of the shows. I guess they bought up more than they could sell.

I'm hoping to do that for a Metallica show later this year. I wanted to take the wife, but the ticket prices were ridiculous.

I should of known you were a Springsteen guy, he's a bleeding heart to. He's absolutely horrible.

I don't get the whole MAGA hating on Springsteen. Sure, he's politically outspoken, but he never said one political thing during the five concerts of his I've attended.

Did he put out a mean Trump tweet that hurt your feelings?

I don't give a rat's ass about musicians' politics, unless they shove it down people's throats during a show. I don't hate on Johnny Ramone, Ted Nugent, Joe Perry and Frank Sinatra, all known conservatives.

Musicians and artists as a whole lean liberal.

No, he just sucks. I don't care about his politics. 

Hell, I like Pearl Jam and they are probably the biggest snowflakes on the planet.

I don't listen much to his studio albums, but he's right up there among the greatest live acts of all time. 

I know he did call Trump a "moron," and that's pretty funny.

Just seen the Red Hot Chili Peppers not long ago. Those dudes are like 60 and still have the same energy. Amazing

I just cam't stand the style / genre, and Eddie Vedder is highly overrated as a vocalist

It's definitely an acquired taste. I will say that they've gotten better with age. The songs and compositions are just better now. 

If anything give their newer stuff a try, you may like it.

We saw them back in 2019.  Didn't know what to expect since they were touring in support of an album that was pretty dark subject matter wise, as one of the original members had died suddenly a couple years prior.  All the publicity photos made them look dour, and the fact that they are Polish made me wonder how much they would interact with the crowd.

It turned out to be one of the absolute most FUN shows I've ever been to.  Very personable and you could tell they were having a blast on stage.

Let me know what you think.

This is from the "Wasteland" album they were touring for back in 2019.  About post-nuclear war.  Very light and happy subject matter.

 

The most surprising thing when we saw them live is that the riff in the beginning is actually the bassist rather than guitarist.  He's strumming his bass for that portion of the song vs the usual finger picking. 

Edit: this live video shows what I was trying to describe regarding the bass riff.

Well sh1t.  Guess I won't be seeing Riverside tomorrow afterall since my wife selfishly decided to have her appendix burst today.  Thankfully her appendectomy went fine but I won't be able to ditch her to go to a show.

What's the saying?  "Man makes plans and God laughs"? 

I am looking at their remaining tour dates so I'll hopefully fly and catch them in another city.  It's not like my wife can give me ant sh1t for dropping $700+ for airfare and hotel.

Dang Man......that all sucks, glad she's doing well

And yes, that's the say, know it all too well.

Thanks so much for turning me onto them, I've watched about 10 videos so far, loving them! Can you share a link for concert dates?

This is my favorite video so far....

Btw I woke up to a Festivus Miracle.  My wife texted that the doctor wants her to stay one more night to give wound more time to drain and to get some extra antibiotic IV drops.  It's not a concern, but it means I get to go to the show with my kids tonight.

Edit:  you're in Texas, right?  Unfortunately they went through the south at the beginning of the tour.

My bad.  Your Dallas Cowboys fandom threw me off.  Looks like they played in Mesa last Friday.

Cool. I'll have to watch this so I can reminisce about that tour. 

The show last night was awesome.  Great setlist, but oddly enough they didn't play anything from Wasteland.

 

[DonS 3,239]

@Big Guy

You should check out Haken to see if you like them.  They'll be playing in Mesa on May 22.  I'll be seeing them with my kids at the end of May on back-to-back nights in Portland and Seattle.

And Man, once again thank you so VERY much for turning me on to RIVERSIDE, I love everything about them so far!
