Upcoming Shows

[tricorne]

My mom is visiting next month to see Bob Dylan with me, which we last did together roughly 20 years ago. Here's hoping he's having an "on" night.

OMG - I walked out on Bob Dylan a couple years back - he had NO voice. Couldn't even talk. Good luck & report back.

This was a bit of a mixed bag, but overall I had a lot of fun. He had some parts in the middle that were so bad/hoarse that a bunch of people left (exacerbated by some shakiness on both the band and sound mixing fronts), which is sort of unfortunate for them as the back half of the set was much stronger than the first and was thoroughly enjoyable. We got a bunch of classics reinterpreted (the encore was a pleasant piano version of Blowin' In The Wind that everybody was pretty fully astonished to hear, and Tangled Up In Blue was...vocally interesting). I think the highlight for me in terms of everything "working" despite the myriad issues was Ballad of a Thin Man, which they played very heavily and resonantly. Mark Knopfler's set was also very strong, though he's got such a relaxing voice that it nearly put me to sleep.

Bob's behavior the entire night reminded me a lot of the recent Leonard Cohen shows - funny sideways dapper movements and hat-wearing.

Thanks for that review. Makes me feel better about going to the Hollywood Bowl show next week. I'm just going to go with liw expectations, and maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised (maybe)

[suprefan]

This is so stupid. If they thought it was gonna be crazy, why play a small room? Making it a lottery just screams 'hey, we think this act is so popular that we're gonna make you get lucky to even buy tickets'

[tmac]

yeah really fucking annoying. i don't get it

[woogie846]

I can't believe Deltron 3030 part 2 is actually a real thing that is going to be released

[brokenDREAMS]

Can't go wrong with either, really.

True, but I'm a big Money Mark fan so getting to see him again is a real treat.

She's like a British Sade. Up for the Mercury Prize. Some mad hype.

This review is pretty spot-on, and includes a link to the setlist if you're interested.

Wait what?

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

Sade is British.

[moviebruin]

Sade is British.

Oh well that explains it.

[sonnyboy11]

Fuck it all- Neil Young tomorrow night @ the HB! Damnit I cannot wait!

You're out of the loop.



Still dumb to make it a lottery. What if the requests are less than te capacity? Are they going to do a regular sale? This is a wrong way to experiment selling tickets for small acts.

[getbetter]

Or is it your mad you might not get in?

[brownbuffalo]

Low End will have a special guest tomorrow night for the six year. Hasn't played low end in many years. Not a huge name but it'll still be nice for nostalgia's sake.

Halloween will have a big secret guest though. It won't be anyone that hasn't made their name in DJing so no badu or anything like that. Don't miss that one!!!!

You're right, but what it would surprise me if it were some kind of showcase kinda thing where more 50% of the capacity is comped/invitees and they really have a tiny mount of tickets available.

Either way I'm also out of the loop, never heard of her, and the Sade comparison makes me sure I'm not interested anyway.

[ods..]

She's fucking awesome.





Not really like Sade.

You dont check out anything coming out of the uk really, so thats how you can be out of the loop.


speaking of brits and all that.

I wonder if people go crazy cause they figure out its his song in the Intel commercial.

[bmack86]

So, who wants to buy me a Neil Young ticket tomorrow? And who then wants to call Neil and make sure he plays For the Turnstiles. Recently I've been convinced it's his best song.

[TallGuyCM]

You're not gonna hear any argument coming from my direction about that one.

[sonnyboy11]

Any boardies want to find me at Neil- I am row 3 on the end seat/aisle in section G2. Come say hi. Super stoked about this one.
