Hey, at least you won't have to go into the office this week.

Postby **NTP66** » Mon May 15, 2023 8:13 am

Or... go in, get everyone else sick, and make them rethink their new policy.

Live Nation All In Pricing coming May 9 presale and May 10 general. Mostly lawn type tickets for $25 including fees. Acts vary by location obviously.

Pantera is on there for $25, as is Amon Amarth/Ghost. I have to pay off the credit card for the month and pay the mortgage, but I should still have enough to grab both tickets.

I want to say Offspring is also on the $25 list, but I'll be traveling that weekend so that's a no go.

Saw The Hooters Friday night at the Ardmore Music Hall in Philly suburbs. Great small venue. Mostly SRO with a few reserved tables. 600 people. Beers are only $6-8 for most. We went upstairs and were directly overlooking the band and had a bathroom 10 steps away.
Nice! Did you see Pierre Robert?

I did indeed. Stood right next to him for a bit. He was working the room. Have met him before and always a great guy.

Sale ends tomorrow I think. Act now! Rock out later!

Awesome. He is great people.

Apparently my brother in law has a friend who works at PPG Paints and gave us club seats to Blink tonight. I just sold my upper bowl seats for about $40 less than what we paid for them. But hey, $40 for club seats isn't so bad.

I like the shirt

I’ve never been a huge Blink fan (my wife is a super fan) but that was such a fun show. They all seemed genuinely happy to be playing together again.

I always thought they’d be a fun band to see live. My wife and I were gonna go to the Hershey show, but she’s a little too pregnant to make that trip.

The videos of them at Coachella seemed kinda off. It’s a little weird seeing that style of music played by guys approaching 50.

I'm over festival/General Admission crowds but damn, this one is tempting:

Postby **NTP66** » Thu May 18, 2023 9:29 am

Is it, though?

When I saw those Coachella videos I thought the same thing, but Blink killed it last night. Great energy and an A+ setlist. I got chills when they first came out

not enough for me, clearly because I have no intention of spending $350 for a 3 day pass.
I've wanted to see P!nk for awhile. she puts on a HELLUVA show. I'd be curious though if GnR actually put on a good show after all these years.

Don't sleep on First Aid Kit. Two sisters in a classic country band. They make the style palatable.

There's definitely some of that "weird seeing that style of music from older dudes" vibe. But more than that, there's a vibe of these dudes have lived crazy lives, hated each other, broke up, hated each other again, two of them damn near died, and have come back together in a much better place and seem thrilled to be doing this again. Yeah, it's a nostalgia show but I thought they sounded great. They were having a ton of fun and as a casual fan, that was infectious. My wife was going absolutely apeshit too so that was fun. It also helps that Travis doesn't talk at all during the set. I don't know if your wives/gfs watch Keeping Up With The Kardashians, but Travis and Kourtney are the **** worst.

I'm sad we couldn't go cause both wife and I came down with Covid, but the people we gave the tickets to said it was a fun show.

Seconded. They're great.

Didnt turnstile open? That band rules

Postby **nocera** » Thu May 18, 2023 10:13 am

They did. I get that it's a weird show because they're in an arena and nobody there came for them, but I thought they were dogshit.

Postby **Joegap** » Thu May 18, 2023 10:24 am

Yeah didn't care too much for Turnstile or Beauty School Dropout

Postby **Lemon Berry Lobster** » Thu May 18, 2023 10:26 am

Yung Gravy is worth the price of admission.

Postby **nocera** » Thu May 18, 2023 10:29 am

I know Tove Lo, but only for one specific reason and it has nothing to do with the music.

They have some songs where they sound exactly like snapcase. Admittedly, the stuff they released after that album is not good

I can't find the comment or maybe it wasn't in this thread, but the scoreboard and Lemieux/Briere banners are gone.
