Walter Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Last night, saw Midge Ure and Paul Young last night at The Plaza. Paul Young is one of Mrs Walter’s all-time favorites and Midge Ure was very impressive and personable. Went with some new neighborhood friends from Manchester and really had a great time.

zepscoda Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Slash was AMAZING! If you have a chance to see him live, do so. His playing is light years beyond what it was in Guns n Rose's heyday. They did only one GnR cover, Rocket Queen and Myles sings it better that Axl ever has. No Velvet Revolver tunes that I heard. The venue, Pier 17, is pretty cool. Bands play on the roof top with the Brooklyn Bridge as the back drop. To say I was in altered states would be an understatement, but I managed to get a few pics....

Strider Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 St. Paul & the Broken Bones (from Alabama) delivered some good ol' foot-stomping soul/rhythm & blues tonight. Opener Black Pumas were pretty solid, too. Watched the Dodgers win NLCS Game 7 before the concert...so an excellent night all-around.

We were there this summer taking a boat tour around the Statue of Liberty, etc. Great setting! Slash definitely gets better with age - saw him last two summers ago with g n r.

Strider Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 (edited) Technically not a concert but quite a show nevertheless: The Beastie Boys Book Tour hit Los Angeles this weekend. Mike Diamond, Adam "Ad-Rock" Horowitz, Mix Master Mike cutting records, Spike Jones running video. Beck, Mario C., and Money Mark sitting to my left, Rob Trujillo (and family in tow) Donovan Leitch, Ione Skye sitting behind me. Great tales of the early days in New York, Adam Yauch looping "When the Levee Breaks", meeting the Dust Brothers in L.A., and a hilarious story about meeting Bob Dylan at Dolly Parton's birthday party. The show ended with a touching tribute to the departed Adam "MCA" Yauch. The book is the size of a phone book...THICK. Chock full of personal history and anecdotes and photos. Would love it if Led Zeppelin got this self-reflective and honest in a book. Edited November 5, 2018 by Strider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zepscoda Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 (edited) The Rev tore it up yesterday. Seeing him in a setting of rat rods and muscle cars was perfect!

Thanks for sharing the photos! 🤘🏼 You're so right on with Slash getting better with age. .... his live playing has evolved so far beyond from the GnR we grew up with in the 80's & 90's. Back then it all seemed like a kick ass party, on and off the stage. .. while I remember those shows being a great time and a kick ass rock show, I don't remember being an awe of his playing. But now...wow...people we just standing there spellbound. His fret work was brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperDave Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Greta Van Fleet at Terminal 5 in NYC, two days ago. Played three shows there. All sell outs. That's 9,000 seats. Great show and the boys can play. Crowd was really into them. Perhaps, the last time they play a smaller venue in the NYC area for some time. Next up in this area is Forest Hills Stadium in May.

Virginia Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 DMB Friday night (12/14) in Charlottesville, with Preservation Hall Jazz Band. It was a fantastic show; they played for 2.5+ hours and they played the "All Along the Watchtower/Stairway to Heaven" medley (and the Christmas Song!) during the encore 😎 They also played a second Charlottesville show last night (12/15) with a totally different setlist. We only went Friday; wish we'd gone to both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strider Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 A headbanging night at the Wiltern this past Friday, March 15. A kooky opening band whose name I have forgotten. Then Graveyard went on at 9pm, followed by Uncle Acid & the Deadbeats at 10:45pm. Graveyard back from their hiatus. Uncle Acid & the Deadbeats. Their sound is like a psychedelic Black Sabbath with an Alice in Chains touch on vocals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 (edited) With all the March concerts cancelled, and April (and beyond?) too, who knows when I will get to go see live music again? So I have been reflecting on past concerts...from March 1975. It was quite a year for tours back then. All of the major bands toured that year and March had quite a logjam of shows. The Continental Riot House must have been even crazier than normal back then. How many of these were you at Badgeholder? Friday March 7: The Faces and Foghat @ Swing Auditorium, San Bernardino. The last time I saw the Faces...Rod Stewart went solo and Ron Wood went off to the Rolling Stones shortly after this. What a shame...the Faces were a splendid raucous band. Foghat were in their prime...a solid opener. Wednesday March 12: Led Zeppelin @ Long Beach Arena. Long Beach Arena perhaps doesn't have the glamour and aura that the Fabulous Forum had, but because it was smaller, there was a bit more intimacy and the sound was usually a tad better. Monday March 24: Led Zeppelin @ Fabulous Forum of Inglewood. This was the crazy marathon week. Five concerts. Luckily it was Easter break. I've said enough about Led Zeppelin in the past. If maybe not as tight and sharp as they were on March 12, it was still pretty damn good. Tuesday March 25: Led Zeppelin @ Fabulous Forum. More of the same...maybe less, considering they played one less song than the night before. Wednesday March 26: Blue Öyster Cult, REO Speedwagon, The Pretty Things @ Shrine Auditorium. Led Zeppelin wasn't the only band with lasers...BÖC had quite a nifty light show, too. Eric Bloom always had a sinister presence with his ever-present sunglasses and Buck was Buck. Fairly underrated as a guitarist. This was a year before they got really popular with "Don't Fear the Reaper". Some of the guys from Led Zeppelin were at this gig as The Pretty Things were signed to Swan Song and Robert Plant introduced the band on stage. They were okay....but their best days were behind them. Gary Richrath was the only thing noteworthy about REO. Thursday March 27: Led Zeppelin @ Fabulous Forum. The grand finale. A great long marathon of a show. Led Zeppelin played longer than all three bands put together from the night before. The last "Dazed and Confused" I would ever see. The end of an era in some respects. Queen attended this concert. Saturday March 29: Queen, Kansas, Mahogany Rush @ Santa Monica Civic Auditorium (the early show). My first Queen concert...in fact, this may have been the first time Queen even played in the L.A. area. I'm not going to say they blew me away but they were good enough to see that they were a band on the rise and had greatness in them. Kansas was instantly forgettable and we were late for Mahogany Rush (who seemed to open for everybody and play every festival back then). No ticket was more than $10 and the halls were thick with the smoke of marijuana. A contact high was practically unavoidable. People actually watched the show with their eyes and raised their Bic lighters in tribute...not their iPhones.

Badgeholder Still Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Devastated to miss Chris Stapleton, Willie Nelson and Sheryl Crow this month. Rescheduled for a year from now. Damn, how long can Willie roll on. He hasn't let me down yet. This bullshit virus could've at least waited until Willie and Dylan hung it up.
