And the show will be killer given the pedigree of the band, whether you love the album or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 The best part of that album is that each member of the band could kick the shit out of any douchebag hipster loser they wanted to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanada Kev Posted May 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 complete bullshit that TO is an arena show when everyone else is getting clubs They played a club date here already (my buddy went and said it was ridiculously oversold and was near impossible to get a beer ... face value was $75 or so). For this show, you can probably go down the night of and get in for $10 Their sound is big enough for an arena Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ersh Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 It's funny... it took me a lonnng time to get into this CD, but it definately grew on me. And the ACL is awesome as well. Here's the link!http://video.pbs.org/video/1397479116/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freak By Night Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 Went to see this "supergroup" last night. I enjoyed the show very much.When I first heard their album, I thought it a difficult listen, but eventually it grew on me. Some of the songs remind me of Cream.The band, made up of Led Zeppelin's John Paul Jones, Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl, and Josh Homme from Queens of the Stone Age and Kyuss (as well as guest guitarist/keyboardist Alain Johannes for the tour) played for two solid hours and really jammed out the tunes. The crowd, mostly 20-somethings (I felt old) really got into it - most dancing through the entire performance.Dave Grohl is a monster behind the drum kit, Jones' bass playing is thunderous. He also played several other instruments - fiddle, keyboards, etc.)One might expect such a band to trot out songs from their past. I was half expecting to hear "No Quarter", for example, but no. Towards the end of the show, Josh said "This will be our last song - we don't do covers, and we don't do encores".There was no need - Them Crooked Vultures stand on their own.

DevO Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 If I show up at the ACC right around showtime, think I could score a scalper ticket for $10? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 If there are even scalpers out! Last night in Ottawa was PATHETIC as far as crowd size goes. Less than 1/3 full arena that even those large black curtains over the 300's couldn't disguise.Good show, but not sure how I would have felt spending the full admission. I was lucky enough to win TWO pairs to the show yesterday so my thoughts on the night are seriously skewed....I do have to mention that parking at Scotiabank is a FUCKING JOKE. If there are acres of empty parking lots, how can you justify still charging $11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Wish Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 I didn't go near the merch table once I saw the tsirts that were hanging had $45 tags on them and a bandana was $15!I had to pay the $11- they put up barricades at all of the empty lots. The Sun review said there were 3000 in attendance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanada Kev Posted May 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 (edited) I'd totally try to crack this show for cheap down at the ACC (family plans instead) since it's not even close to selling out here either. That Ottawa Sun review sure makes it sound like a solid show http://www.ottawasun.com/entertainment/music/2010/05/13/13941856.html They don't care how many they are playing to, but this sure is a sad face Edited May 14, 2010 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Wish Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 8:45 ish, played till about 10:45. The opening band was actually pretty good from what I heard: Alberta Cross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
