Freak By Night

Just bought tix for Montreal in the evenko presale. Pretty good seats in the lower level for less that $100 each.

Coming to Montreal too June 13th. No word on a pre-sale yet (it's a different ticket vendor in Montreal - evenko.ca) Tickets go on sale Saturday @ noon, which is also the same time I'll be attempting to order some Phish tickets.

I watched at home. No party this year. But that didn't stop me from pigging out! Lemon-herb shrimp, chili, garlic bread, salad, pretzels, and chips. Washed it all down with apple pie and perrier water.

All the best to you!

Managed to score a pair of SPAC pavs in the "Verified Fan Presale". I'm surprised it actually worked.

I decided to go this year. Ordered early-bird passes the other day. Anyone else? It's a decent line-up!

Too much!

cue the haters in 3...2...1.....

I wouldn't be surprised if that Tedeschi-Trucks "Wheels of Soul" tour squeezes in a bluesfest appearance.

Thanks for the list c-towns, lots of great stuff in there! (You really should change the subject of this thread though!) I stopped buying albums this year. I bought my first album, Elton John's "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" in 1975. I amassed a HUGE collection of records, tapes, and CDs over the next 4+ decades. Don't get me wrong, I love the great sound quality of CDs, the nostalgia and artwork of vinyl records, but I've simply run out of room. I'm at the age where I want downsize and eventually move to a smaller house. So I don't need any more physical albums. The same goes for books. No more room on the shelves. I subscribed to a popular streaming service this year. As a result, I'm listening to pretty much everything. I also subscribed to LivePhish, I listen to that quite a bit (especially all those Bakers Dozen shows). Some of my favourites of the year include: Barr Brothers - Queen of the Breakers Kamasi Washington - Harmony of Difference LCD Soundsystem - American Dream Mike Gordon - OGOGO Steven Wilson - To the Bone Todd Rundgren - White Knight Whitehorse - Panther in the Dollhouse St. Vincent - Masseduction

I received it. Everyone's got their hand out at this time of year!

I went to the 1st show at MSG Sunday night, and I totally enjoyed it. Had a lousy seat, but it was still a fun time.

absolutely devastated

Here's my Gord story: In Sept 2009 the Hip did a theater tour, and played 3 nights in Ottawa at the venerable National Arts Center. I went the 3rd night, we had pretty good seats in the 6th or 7th row, dead center. It was awesome. The performance of "Scared" gave me the music shivers! I'd seen the Hip many times before but this was the first time I realized that Gord was acting out the song's lyrics with his facial expressions. It was brilliant. During "Blow at High Dough" Gord came out into the crowd, walking on the backs of the seats. He stopped right beside me, put his hand on my shoulder to support himself, and stuck the microphone in my face so I could sing a line. I shouted "Blow at High Dough" as best I could. I think I was in key. He was sweating profusely, and much of his sweat ended up on my shoulder and head. I didn't wash for a few days!

Happy belated!

Well said Booche! And if you squint just right, you can spot me in that Magnaball Caspian video! Truly one of their phinest moments post-hiatus.

My trip was short. I left Ottawa early Friday morning and made it to the hotel in Jersey City by 4:20 pm a quick shower then I was on my way by the PATH train to the 33rd street station, right near Madison Square Garden. Met some peeps at a nearby pub, then it was off to the show at MSG. Phish killed it! What a great show with many musical peaks. I finally had a good seat for a show at MSG and I really enjoyed it. Musical highlights for me were "Halfway to the Moon", "Slave", "Suzy Greenberg" and "Tweezer". No reprise though! Maybe that will come later during this residency in New York. They also nailed a cover of Bowie's "Moonage Daydream" and the encore of Zep's "Good Times Bad Times". In all, I thought the concert was excellent. I met some really good people at the show. New York is a lot of fun. Afterwards it was a walk up to Times Square to catch moe. in a sold out late performance. As you've probably heard, Rob will be undergoing cancer treatment and they had to cut the summer tour short. This was one of the few dates they kept. The outpouring of love and support for Rob was great. There were several huge cards to sign at the merch table. The show was a lot of fun, I was dancing at the front to start but fatigue overcame me after a short while, I moved to the back where there were plenty of free seats in this very nice theater. I remained there for the rest of the show, which finally ended at about 3:30. The band got into some serious weird jams but finished with a stellar Rebubula and a touching cover of "Halleluja". It was a long day and I was very tired when I got back to the hotel just before 5 am, but I'm glad I caught moe. before their forthcoming hiatus. I'm seriously thinking of returning for the final weekend of these baker's dozen shows, the first weekend in August. Gotta scrape up some $$ for tix and accommodations.

Welcome back and enjoy the show!

With LCD Soundsystem on the main stage, and Gary Clark Jr. on the Black Sheep stage at the same time last night, I don't think the Bluesfest has ever done a better job at splitting up the generations. "Alright, you people under the age of 45 go over here, anyone older go the Black Sheep stage!" I split my time between the two shows, I thought both were excellent.

I don't remember who played at the Comfort Zone after the show, but I clearly remember running into you and Doug at a 401 rest stop on the way to Toronto!

I remember going to the Comfort Zone after this show, but only staying a short while. Did anyone else go there and remember who the band was?

Seems like yesterday! That first set seemed exceptionally long.

I'll be there tonight, dancing shoes in tow! Just picked up a sweet seat on stubhub for quite a bit less than face value.

Absolutely devastated. Some of my finest concert memories with Soundgarden: At the Spectrum in Montreal in 1991, with Monster Magnet opening. Lollapalooza '92 with Pearl Jam, Ministry, and RHCP. The epic CNE show with Neil, PJ, and Blues Traveler. Lollapalooza '96 with Metallica and the Ramones. And also that awesome show in the summer of '94 at "The Bob" in Hull.
