Day 17: The Pogues October 2009, House of Blues – Play an artist who speaks to you with their lyrics or delivery. Well, I gotta go with Tom Waits here. The first song I ever heard by him (Cold Cold Ground) had me transfixed with the combo of lyrical imagery and his delivery. I saw him in...

Ok, joined the cool kids with a second bracket.

We started this yesterday. That first episode is so intense! We will definitely stick with it.

My wife is about 1/3 of the way onto this one. She's been loving the books, she didn't start them until after we watched the season.

So happy to see this!

Day 16: Drive~By Truckers May 2010, House of Blues - Play something by an artist you wish you could have seen.

Day 15: Flight To Mars May 2012, The Casbah – Flight To Mars was a UFO cover band formed by Mike McCready of Pearl Jam, and raised money every year for Chron's & Colitis foundation. 2012 was the one year they did a small tour, and it was great to see Mike in a small (250 person) room. Best part...

Day 14: Oingo Boingo December 1986, Hollywood Palladium – One of my favorite memories of my late friend Jim was seeing Oingo Boingo with him and jumping around in the pit. Play something for a friend. This is for Brad. We saw Paul Simon together a few years ago on his farewell tour. It was a...

I have the same question, I don't like my VMP copy very much.

Thanks! It's definitely iffy this time of year, but we've had a week of sunny and dry...should be decent, although not green yet. Enjoy the scramble!

Headed out for my first Michigan round of the year. 11:54. Woooo!

Day 13: Tash Sultana October 2019, Ohana Festival – As opposed to The Strokes, Tash played a mellow yet spectacular sunset set. Just her looping various instruments creating a great collage. Was wholly unfamiliar with her before, but have made it a point to see her every time since. Play...

This looks pretty good...

Day 12: The Strokes October 2019, Ohana Festival – This was probably the only time I felt like the crowd was out of control at a show. The rush of people to the stage when the Strokes hit the stage was like a wave, honestly a pretty scary feeling. Play something by an artist with rabid fans. I...

Day 11: Steely Dan May 2022, North Island Amphitheater – This was not a good concert, definitely felt like Donald Fagen was phoning it in. Glad to say I saw them (even if it was post-Walter Becker) is about the best I can say about this show. Play something by an artist who had a release that...

Day 10: Simon & Garfunkel November 2023, Cox Arena – A wholly unexpected reunion tour that was fantastic. Play something by a band that has disbanded, bonus points if they did a reunion tour. Not exactly a break-up, more of a hiatus. They are coming to my area this year but I'll be out of town.

Aw man, I had a draft saved here that got all the way up to 2006 but it's gone. I should have pasted into a doc.

Day 9: The Cure May 2023, North Island Amphitheater – They kept it real on the last tour, keeping prices down for both tickets and merch, and putting on a spectacular set. Play something by a band that has kept the fans in mind. Radiohead did a 'pay what you want' model for In Rainbows. I've...
