Reading about Beyonce having trouble selling her new tour has me wondering if we have finally reached the breaking point of concert ticket prices. Would love to see a bit of an adjustment in the fans direction but that is tough to do now that artists make the majority of their money from shows as opposed to selling music.
I just discovered them and have subsequently been typing/searching it alot.. I really don't like typing that word lol!maroon barchetta said:62strat said:

Your keyboard is broken or something.
Damn dude we should meet up beforehand for a beer.. I think Bruz is a few blocks away.Echoes97 said:
Will be at the Devin show on 5/21 w/ my best friend. Can't wait, especially with him announcing his indefinite tour hiatus. This will probably be around the 10th time I've seen him, always amazing.
Plus she just did a stadium tour not that long ago. However, I think a big part of the drop in prices for this go around is she is doing FIVE shows in LA. Even if they aren't sold out, if they are only 90% full thats a ton of tickets to sell. There is a much larger supply in that market than if she did 1 or 2 nights. She is only doing 2 nights in Houston and just out of curiosity I saw the cheapest seats are over $250. So I think this is the case of the media making a mountain out of a molehill. I wish it was the turning point for cheaper tickets but it seems not.One Louder said:WES2006AG said:

I wonder how much of it is just that Beyonce is kind of old news at this point. Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga don't seem to be having the same issues.

Great review. There were a few omissions from setlist I saw that I hoped he would perform but pumped for tomorrow night!
Yep, hilarious to watch Tobin just in awe of Devin when Dev is sitting there in his normal goofy outfit, just playing crazy stuff on the guitar. Fun episode for sure!maroon barchetta said:
Did you ever see the Beato interview with Devin, John Petrucci, and Tobin Abasi?
It was really long but good. Devin is out there man.

Yeah, i wish he could have included some Montrose but you have to make cuts somewhere. I would have cut his new song (which he opened with) and "Humans Being", which I've always hated. I don't really care for "Amsterdam" either. I like that he tried to include "Love Walks In" but he probably shouldn't have.
I was glad to see them at a smaller venue but would actually prefer the lawn or a bigger venue next time. Very good live band, though, and I could tell why they're gaining popularity over here.Jim01 said:
Fontaines D.C. was fantastic last night. Great set list. Some of the songs sounded much heavier live, particularly "Big Shot" which was a monster!!!
Originally I planned to hit the restroom and grab a beer in between opener (which I really enjoyed btw) and Fontaines but it was so packed I didn't want to fit through nor loose my spot.
I fear that might be my first and last time to see them at a smaller venue. It was packed and they only seem to be getting bigger.
It was fun getting to meet y'all, and I echo the things you said about the show. We were disappointed that there was no encore and that they didn't do Dreams (my wife's fave) or Mas Tequila, which should have been a no-brainer. But otherwise, a really fun show.One Louder said:
Sammy Hagar at Dolby Live in Vegas was a great show last night! Kiddoc and I acknowledged this is almost certainly the last time we will see him perform which is depressing but age is undefeated.
He experienced a couple of missteps but at long last he included "Summer Nights" into the setlist. Satriani was amazing and Michael Anthony did a lot of the heavy lifting vocally as usual, just like he did throughout his time in VH.
At one point, some blond chick walked across the stage and attempted to sing along (the interwebs reports it was Ke$ha, who i wouldn't be able to pick out of a lineup).
Kiddoc and I did enjoy meeting and visiting with MooreTrucker and his wife (they were 4 seats down from us in a venue of over 6400).

Take earplugs. My guitar instructor went to see him in Beaumont last year and left after two songs. He said it was just too loud. Painful kind of loud. And this is from a guy who has played many gigs and been to many shows.

Still wished he would have done Mas Tequila. It's iconic. They even have a special margarita-style drink named after it.Philo B 93 said:maroon barchetta said:

You just told me everything I need to know. I'm out. I'm not a big Ted Nugent fan anyway and with my current tinnitus, I figure I have about 70 concerts left until I'm totally deaf. I'm not wasting one on Nugent. Also, I wear earplugs to kindergarten recitals and anything louder. Too little too late, but it helps.
About Sammy Hagar and encores: the last time I saw him, he got to the end of the show and explained to the enthusiastic crowd that he could leave the stage, leave the house light off, wait for us to get all excited, then come back and play two more songs. Instead of wasting that time, he said I'm just gonna play them right now. He was being real and honest. The crowd appreciated it. Sammy Hagar is awesome.
