Just got back from Fugitive and holy shit. Not only were they amazing but after they finished the entire band from power trip came on stage and did a set of power trip songs with the singer from fugitive. I still kinda can’t believe it
And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know you realize that life goes fast - It's hard to make the good things last-you realize the sun doesn't go down - It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

Saw bar italia last night and they were great. The guitars rip and could watch and listen to Nina all day. Crowd was pretty young and there was song good energy but thought it could have been better, definitely felt like there should have been at least a little moshing. Also a couple of people were yelling at Nina to turn her mic up and you could tell she felt a little off put by it (her volume was fine).

Model/Actriz holiday show/"nu-metal night" was awesome. Everyone has said how great they are live and they lived up to it. The Rolling Stone quote, “Every time they perform, it’s an explosion of outrageous noise, raw physicality, and communal joy" is so true. Cole was in the crowd nearly the whole time and the mosh was chaotic in the best way. Current Joys opening set was also very cool, he really leaned into the nu-metal which I was not expecting but worked very well.

Inspired me to put them on while I clean the apartment today. Really excited to catch them this summer.
Billy Strings. Getting the Pink Floyd Fearless cover off Meddle was a super highlight and will vault that show somewhere into my top 3 or 4 for the year once I finalize that top shows list. He and his band have so much talent and do not disappoint you live. I should probably have gone to the other 2 shows on the run as well but you can’t do everything.
Forgot to post this, but saw Confidence Man at Racket in NYC a few weeks back, and it was one of the most fun shows I’ve ever seen. I mean the costume changes alone. The opener Fcukers were very good as well.

I had this show on my radar and ended up missing it, and now I am big sad about it.

Won some free tix to see Travis Scott in Chicago last night.
Was excited about the openers. Babyface Ray and Veeze been some of my favorite stuff the past years Glad to see Detroit hiphip starting to get some recognition in the mainstream but man this was not they show. Crowd gave 0 shuts about them.
Travis was alr I guess. Idk I can admit he has the most impressive stage setups in the industry but dude is so cringe. Every once in a while he drops some heat but it's really more a testament of how talented he is as a curator rather then a preformer.
Biggest takeaway from the night was that he would be good if it's a special set. Even tho I'm not a big fan of him I think he would be a amazing headline booking for Coachella. Also the crowd went absolute apeshit for every SZA and Drake verse. I think Coachella really dropped the ball on not getting SZA

Just saw Tool for the first time. Don’t know much of their music and never seen a metal show before period, but my dad had an extra so I joined him and had a pretty great time. Music was good and visuals were pretty crazy, Billy Strings sit in went real hard.
great Tool show last night in Biloxi. above is my view taken before the show. my first time in a very long time having a straight on view of a Tool show. it was really cool with the lights. show was great, crowd was great. everybody kept their phone in their pockets per the band's request/maynard's threat (he will shit in your mouth).
hearing Intolerance was awesome, as was Flood, but the highlights were Rosetta Stoned and Descending. Descending in particular just felt like the most transcendent moment, perfect time in the show and perfect combo of song and lights.
Tool is awesome, I love seeing them live.
the mississippi coast coliseum is such an old school rag tag arena. terrible parking situation, terrible getting around the venue, terrible amount of bathrooms. i prefer a newer, more well thought out arena, but there is something charming about seeing a rock show in a venue that old, and none of the downsides really bothered me.

In 8th grade, after a field trip, our bus stopped at a McDonald's for lunch, and we had some time to kill at the record store next door. I picked up the cassette of Mr. Big's Lean Into It album, popped it into my Walkman when we got back on the bus, and it remained there for who knows how long. I wore that tape out and ultimately had to replace it with the CD. Mr. Big gets lumped in with the hair bands, but I don't think it's justified, as Paul Gilbert and Billy Sheehan are absolute masters of their craft.
Fast forward 32 years or so. Mr. Big announced their farewell tour was coming through Cincinnati, and THEY'RE PLAYING LEAN INTO IT IN ITS ENTIRETY. I think the last time they played Cincinnati was 1992, and I was too young to go (according to my parents), so I have been looking forward to this for a very long time. I quickly made arrangements with my buddy of 40 years to acquire tickets, and when my 8-year-old overheard me discussing these arrangements, she insisted that she needed to go to "that Big concert you were talking about" also. I decided she is not too young to go, so we bought 3 tickets.
My wife finally caved and subscribed to Spotify (I'm still holding out), so my daughter inherited her old iPod Nano. She's been studying up by listening to her iPod for the last couple months, which is populated exclusively with Taylor Swift's entire catalog and Mr. Big. This confirms that she is, in fact, my kid.
The show Friday night was everything I hoped it would be. Paul and Billy have still got it. It was among the best bass and guitar playing I have ever seen live. Perfect tone. Perfect execution. My daughter and I sang along with all our favorites as she stood on her seat in order to see over the people in front of her. (Sorry, people behind us.)
At the end of the show, my daughter insisted on going up and standing among the crowd in front of the stage in an effort to meet the band. The band gave a few high fives and took some selfies with the people in the crowd in front of us, and right as they began to walk offstage, Eric Martin (the singer) spotted my daughter and ran over to give her a high five and shake her hand. He told her, "Thank you for coming. I'm so glad you came to see us tonight," and he made sure her ears were OK from all the noise. 14-year-old me was in awe.
Not only was this just a fantastic show, but I can't wait to share more musical experiences with my daughter - especially those artists who were my Taylor Swifts when I wasn't much older than she is now.

That's cool as hell. I always said I'd rather hang out with my kids than even my best friends. As for Mr. Big, I'm not a fan. I do respect them for having musicianship, but a ton of those bands associated with hair metal had really great musicians. Even Winger of all bands had Rod Morgenstein from Dregs/Dixie Dregs on Drums. It's just the sum ends up being mostly flashy pop metal songs or power ballads which puts them in a similar category. They aren't the worst of hair bands by any stretch. But they still fall into that hated category for me.

U2 at the Sphere was unreal. The band sounded great as usual. I would've loved to heard Bullet the Blue Sky and City of Blinding Lights, but I can't complain too much. The show was visually impressive and the sound was great. It is an absolute game changer

I feel about most EDM the way you do about hair metal. But I’d be happy to hang out with my kids at both.

Yeah. We see anything and everything together and have a ball. My specific beef with hair metal was that we listened to a lot of OG metal in high school and then a lot of hardcore punk and thrash. So the hair bands were playing MTV friendly shit at the time and not hard enough. My baby sister and her friends loved that shit. We looked at those bands as poseurs because fashion was such an important part of that scene. Also much of the music was like the bud light of metal at the time.
As someone who trades in words for a living, I am at a loss to describe just how mind-blowing this venue is. The screen is revolutionary, there's no other way to put it. The effects in a certain sequence
create such a disconnect between what your eyes see, what your body feels and what your mind knows to be real, it's both alarming and remarkable.
I cannot wait to see how other bands and performers build off this moving forward. And whenever Beyonce decides to play here, my god, pity my poor bank account.
U2 is still in fine form. Bono isn't quite as spry in voice or body as when I first saw the band live 20+ years ago during the Elevation Tour, but Edge and Adam remain rock solid with Bram a good fill-in for Larry.
And one interesting note from a random conversation while leaving the show with a fan who was seeing it for the fourth time, apparently U2 is still tweaking the visuals even though the end of the run is coming up soon. Sounds like both band and venue are embracing their guinea pig status all the way to the finish line.
I wasn't there, but this Billy strings/Chris thile is incredible. Both of them are so good at what they do. Special guest Cory Henry too. Would love to see/hear more from them because they are both masters at their instruments and can smear bluegrass into the books and crannies of the musical spectrum.

I've seen a few clips on YouTube, and it looks like it was f'n great. They had two superstars from the superior 2022 Bonnaroo lineup with Henry and Strings.
Barry Can't Swim was a lot of fun last night. I've been in a pretty terrible mood lately with having to move apartments, my all-time favorite boss leaving and feeling a general sense of "Why the fuck do I still work in a corporate restaurant on the goddamn Amazon campus?" Being surrounded by a few hundred house-lovers like myself and getting bumped into in a hot, sweaty, dark room by myself was precisely what I needed.
Also, shout-out to the young El-P on ecstasy looking dude near me using shazam for track ids mid-show.
