The recent and upcoming gigs thread

The Wolftrap in Virginia is a really cool venue.
Preservation Hall were there normal outstanding selves.
Lovett' Big Band was tight but he was a train wreck and we left as soon as it was polite to do so. (hint you can count the number of songs on one hand)

So Haircut 100 sounded pretty good, a few of their tracks were at a pace Lemmy would call fast.
ABC was great and the bass playing was very present.
Howard was Howard and put on a great set. I was super jazzed to see Nick on a stick and it was a hoot when they played Too Shy from one of his many bands.
A flashback to the early 80s but it was a very enjoyable night and I'm glad to have made it.

Lined up early for early merch (and got the poster I wanted, though not the foil variant… I would have needed to be in line at like 11 am mountain for that), explored the Shakedown Street, and got great seats for my 10th Phish show at Dicks Sporting Goods Park! Doing all 4 shows this weekend!

Crowded House in NYC on Wednesday evening with a view of the Brooklyn Bridge behind the band. The two younger Finns are really starting to make their mark in the band. Elroy is a really solid, energetic drummer. Liam is laying down solo killer solos and doing some really cool atmospheric stuff. Meanwhile Neil is still in very strong voice and Nick's bass playing is a solid as ever. And the boys are still as funny and fun as they've always been. Caught them again last night in CT. Each night they threw in some classic Split Enz for those of us who have been following Neil for 4+ decades now. And two nights of the Crowdies cost less than half what a night of Springsteen or Gilmour would cost.

Saw Beat last night in Austin. Incredible show. Danny Carey fit in perfectly although definitely different than Bruford. Vai was great too and it was interesting watching him getting the Fripp parts down with tapping instead of strange tunings. I had a blast.

I had no idea that this band were actually from my home town of Glasgow, they play the Fish era of Marillion and a couple of Fish solo songs, I took a video but it’s too big to upload , they played most of the Market square heroes EP, a big chunk of Script for a jesters tear and Fugazi, 3 songs from Misplaced childhood and 2 from Clutching at straws, also The space from the H era, well over 2 hours and they had to stop because the venue had a strict time curfew
