General Phoenix Area Shows

[Footsteps86]

I'm sure that would've worked as well. Forgot to mention about the start time. Some people thought he went on late. He kind of did, but we were told that since the shows got merged the start time got pushed back to 8:30. So he wasn't too late. Also, they told us that his contract stated he only had to play 75 minutes and anything beyond that would be a bonus. The show clocked in at around 135 minutes.

Nice! My vegas show was only 80 minutes. What extras did the VIP get you? Great set list too!

[Footsteps86]

The VIP wristband "only" got me in front of the security barricade. When I was standing right in front of freakin' Prince I suddenly forgot how much I paid for my ticket. That was my first time seeing him and it was well worth the wait. That show last night is already one of my all-time favorites. Prince looked like he was having so much fun up there and the crowd was really, really into it. The sampler set was a huge dance party. I can see why a lot of diehards wish he would do away with it, but as a first timer I enjoyed it. Like Prince said, he has so many hits and it was nice to hear them in some sort of capacity. But if he were to have done say, "Colonized Mind," "Sometimes it Snows in April" or "When We're Dancing Close and Slow," I wouldn't have minded getting any of those instead of the sampler set. When it comes down to it though, I got to see Prince wail away on his guitar just feet from me for two hours so I would've been happy no matter what.

Here's the VIP wristband, by the way. Nothing too fancy, but I'll keep it forever.

Nice and just like that I am going to tonight's show. An unfortunate situation for a friend has landed me a free pair of tickets. I'm excited!

[JoeCthulhu]

Damn. I missed getting tix to Father John Misty. You snooze you luze, I guess. Damn.

[LickTheLizzard]

I may have an extra for FJM tonight, if anyone is interested please let me know.

bump because it is definitely available.


EDIT* Sold

[JoeCthulhu]

Ended up seeing Sara Robinson and the Midnight Special at the Sail Inn on Saturday. I didn't learn they were local, until after their set. They are definitely worth catching if you see them playing at a venue near you.

[electronicwolf]

Hey does anybody have an extra ticket for Built to Spill tomorrow night? Would really appreciate it! Shoot me a PM if so.

Thanks!

Zeds Dead

El Santo June 8th

[Footsteps86]

Okay, so I know this has nothing to do with Phoenix shows, but you remember how I scored that VIP pass for Prince a couple of weeks ago? Well, my dad and I managed to hit an even bigger jackpot when we picked up our $85 tickets at the Rolling Stones in Vegas on Saturday...



I have no idea what I've done to have such good fortune first at Prince and then at the Stones, but I'll take it. What an unbelievable experience.






Okay, done bragging...I mean sharing...back to talking about upcoming Phoenix shows.

[Douchey.McDouche.Douche.]

[insbordnat]

About fucking time. Can you tell I'm bitter?!

[NachoCat]

the crystal method @ the monarch theatre.. july 13.

Nice!!

Got Tickets to Zeds Dead

Hard Summer (Saturday Only)

Plan on going to Crystal Method.


Gotta Love summer!

[Mr. Dylanja]

I'll go to Crystal Method if it's a live set.

Per PC2-Violence's orders, I went to Monarch on Saturday to see Nick Warren and Herman Cattaneo do a b2b set, was anybody else there?

[NachoCat]

I still have not been to Monarch. How is it? How was the show?

[Mr. Dylanja]

I dug it, sound is pretty solid, the bass definitely thumps.

The set was fucking great. I'm not even sure what genre these dj's are, but to me it sound like a mix of progressive, and club bangers. They had some fucking jams, but they didn't bring it all the way down to some melodic/trancey/singing bullshit in between the bangers. They kept a solid groove going throughout the duration of their set. I had a great time. And I was half offended and half flattered by how drunk the female bartender tried to get me. Heavy pours, and she interpreted my last call, "water" as a "one more." Oy.

[NachoCat]

Ha! Awesome. With the CM show being on a Saturday I am definitely going to make it out there even if it is a DJ set. Always been a fan.

[westcoastpirate]

Who is going to the Presets tomorrow night?

[Somewhat Damaged]

Jen's gotta work & I'm travelling out to Georgia for my job. Neither event was planned when the show was announced so I'm glad I didn't buy tickets when I had the compulsion to. :-/

[Vic Viper]

Who is going to the Presets tomorrow night?

i'll be there with the five other people who bought tickets. there's like zero buzz around this show; they haven't even been tweeting about it (as opposed to almost all their other dates).

[westcoastpirate]

I'm meeting my buddy at the Presets, but I don't think he is showing until after 9:30pm if he even shows at all. I may be flying solo for this one, which I haven't done in a long time for a show.

[westcoastpirate]

Oh and James Blake on 10/25/13 at Crescent Ballroom.

[nyarlathotoats]

james blake on a friday will be soo good. I'm hoping the tickets won't be too pricey

[Mr. Dylanja]

How much are Presets tix?
