Completely agree. This is when the "that's not how any of this works" commercial comes to mind

Enjoy the show! You and 899 of your closest friends.

I've often wondered if the 'build it and they will come' mentality is what is behind some of these bands playing larger places.

Just book the arena show, and I feel like people show up. Way more casual fans of bands. These bigger shows get more publicity, and you have more people ending up with fomo for the big show.

AWOL at summit? no publicity, no one knows about it unless you follow them specifically.

Another weird thing I experienced recently... I saw incubus just in Sept do their 'Performing MORNING VIEW In Its Entirety + The Hits' at Ball arena. Easily got a ticket well after on sale date, reasonably priced, like $100 for lower level 11th row.. pretty close.

They are coming again this year, billed as the same 'Performing MORNING VIEW In Its Entirety + The Hits', but this time at red rocks.

GA which is way in the back are $200, secondary tickets in the sold out reserved seating are $300-$400+, and up close is thousands.

Heading to this metal show with my son this summer. Should be a good show! I've only seen I Prevail with him but have listened to the other bands some and even with as heavy as they are for an old guy like me I'm still excited. Anyone else going?

This will be our first general administration event in a very long time. Farthest out planned is Black Keys. The kids are doing Beabadoobee, not a huge fan because they sound like a dozen other bands. Plus, we already have Bnny with Briston Maroney tickets. (As in Bnny sounds a lot like Beabadoobee to me.)

Awolnation was entertaining. I had heard a few of their songs, but most at the concert knew every word to songs I had never heard before. Emo's looks like the old Backroom + addition. General admission was good. This venue needs earplugs. You can arrive at the Buzz Mill early for a Big Country Hazy IPA and close parking. The other bands were Bryce Fox and Makua, both new to us. Emo's takes a long time between bands. A decent venue.

Brand New just announced their full tour.
June 13 at NRG Arena.

Watched some of the Dallas and Nashville shows and they sound better than ever.

Metallica film in theaters, accompanying the tour.

I'm an old and I love to rizz up other olds, but maroon barchetta will always be way cooler than anything on that absolute trash lineup at point break festival. War Child is rolling over in his grave. Seriously.

Got my tics! Thanks for the code

My daughter wants to go see Megan Moroney. I'll admit I had no idea who she was/is.

Tickets for her show in Houston 713 hall are crazy. WTF? Austin better but I guess that's all lawn seating.

It's sold out, those are all resale prices. She is getting pretty big. I'll bet she will play the rodeo next year.

Her Austin stop looks to be part of some iHeart Music Festival at Moody Center, not amphitheater (unless I'm missing something). She's then playing Cowboy's Dance Hall in SA right down the road from us the next weekend. My daughter wanted to go but it's 18+. Wild to go from 713 to arena show to a small-ish dance hall. Guess she's in that "about to blow up" limbo phase.

I'm seeing the Austin show is at Round Rock amphitheater. Is that a festival? Maybe I'm way off.

Not sure what is going on. The google listing shows Round Rock and San Antonio as tour stops, but when you go to her official website it only shows 713 Music Hall and Moody Center for the iHeart festival. No mention of Round Rock or San Antonio, which at least for SA I know there's an actual show happening.

Garbage at The Bomb Factory (Dallas) in October.

Finally getting to see Shirley Manson.

Rilo Kiley is touring this year for the first time since 2008. Just picked up a ticket to see them in Phoenix next month.

Been praying for a Houston date to be added.

I held out for a while and decided to book Phoenix this morning...so they will probably announce a full round of Texas shows sometime later today.

Saw Paul Simon @ Bass Concert Hall (tu campus) last night.

First set was his Seven Psalms album in it's entirety. Interesting introspective; but not the most exciting music.

After a 25ish minute break, he came out and played some of his best hits (solo and with Garfunkel) and some other, less known songs, mixed in. Started with Graceland - which was great. Played versions of Slip Sliding Away Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard, The Boxer, Homeward Bound, and Bridge Over Troubled Water. The highlight of the night, and the very last song, was his solo acoustic version of The Sound of Silence. That alone was worth the price of admission.

Didn't play 50 Ways to Lose Your Lover, You Can Call Me Al, Kodachrome, or Mrs. Robinson; which kind of bummed me out. But the dude's a legend and 83 - I guess he's earned the right to play what he wants. He can still play and he sounded good.

I think that was the tamest concert I've ever been to. I could hear everything just fine when we walked out.

I've only ever been a casual fan of his music. This was the first time I've ever seen him perform live. Glad I did.

I caught German band Kraftwerk last night in Phoenix. They're sort of the godfathers of electronic/techno music in many ways, and played Coachella the night before.

Simply amazing show. It's very much a multimedia performance - even the suits they wear light up and are color coordinated with the videos behind them.

Nice! Every electronic music lover should know Kraftwerk and Throbbing Gristle.

Just booked Ghost in Raleigh this July.

Saw AC/DC on Monday. Absolutely incredible. They put everything they have into it. It's absolutely mindblowing that Angus (70) and Brian (77) can still rock so hard.

Probably the one and only time I'll get to see them, given their age. Glad I got to see them with my dad. Unforgettable experience.

In March I saw Blackberry Smoke at 713 in Houston. They can sell out 90% of 713 and play Floore's Country Store two days later. They're slowly getting bigger since their days at House of Blues a few short years ago. They're swinging back through Texas at ACL Live on May 8. They play great, new southern rock / country / blues / soul. A few three part guitar harmony solos, some quick covers of classic rock songs, and tight, tight riffs with plenty of slide guitar and keyboards.

Here's a sample of parts of covers I've heard at their shows:
1. When the Levee Breaks
2. Don't Come Around Here No More
3. Midnight Special
4. Stairway to Heaven instrumental
5. Jesus Left Chicago
6. You Don't Know How it Feels
7. Brown Sugar (ZZ Top)
8. Francine

They usually play a verse / chorus of those songs and lead into one of their own. Brilliant. These guys pair well with Skynyrd and the Black Crowes.

Awesome! Glad to hear they are still putting on a great show. I saw them in 2009 and Houston in 2016 right before they cancelled the tour because of Brian Johnson's hearing, and both concerts were amazing.

Really cool.

My son was there as well but he did not take his old man with him. I was a little disappointed but the tickets were his to do with as he pleased (xmas gift) and he took a friend.

He and I have been to more than a few concerts together (Rush, Eagles, Bob Seger) and I have seen AC/DC before back in the day so it was fine. I also had a conflict.

Anyway I know he loved it and had a great time too. Probably his only chance at seeing them so I am glad he did and he said it was a great show. He told me today that his ears are still ringing a little.

Hell's Bells.

I saw Big Head Todd and the Monsters in Cedar Park last weekend. They were a popular college band in the late 80's early 90's. Sold a lot of albums but didn't really have huge radio hits. They are on their 40th anniversary tour. Great show if you can catch it. They played the songs the fans wanted to hear, as well as a great version of the 60's song 'Brandy'.
