Summer concerts
 

What do you have lined up?

So far I'm looking at

Alice in Chains 5/19
Pearl Jam 5/21 @ the Garden! Can't wait!
DMB 6/4
Kings of Leon 6/6

Re: Summer concerts
 

I have not been to a concert in many many years and use to be a big concert goer. I did see Brooks and Dunn last year, I lied! Since then it had been a long time.

Re: Summer concerts
 

hope to catch o.a.r. since they've got a new album coming out with stuff more like their older songs.. they're not announcing dates till the 23rd though, gotta imagine that they'll be in the area though

Re: Summer concerts
 

maybe the Spinners in the end of April. that's it so far

Re: Summer concerts
 

Megadeth & Testament at the NORVA this Friday.

Cannibal Corpse & Skeleton Witch @ Jaxx Next month.

I've already seen Snoop Dogg at The National last month.

I'm pretty burned out on shows. Maybe I'll see Slayer, that's about it.

Do you have the new CD? It's good.

DuVall is no Layne of course but he fills in admirably. His voice works well with Cantrell's on the harmonies.

I'll have to check it out. I wasn't huge into the Seatle scene but I did follow a few bands.

Jaxx is my favorite venue lately. I LOVE that place. I was going to go to that concert but I had other plans. I saw In This Moment there and it was amazing.

Re: Summer concerts
 

I have seen these guys way too many times, looks like the are going to kill it in 11.

I'm a whore for this band. Definitely are hardcore, but also have melodies too...

Dave Matthews is playing at National's Park the last week of July. DEFINITELY going to be there.

Re: Summer concerts
 

Am I the only person who really doesn't like Dave Matthew's Band? Not to bash anyone, but I feel like all their songs sound the same to me.

You are not alone . Not really my type of music , and he dumped some .. err DOOO into a river from the tour bus , dirty rats :)

Everyone in college loved DMB. I can't stand that nasal thing he does.

Not the band I remember. I think I saw them at either Alley Cats or Jaxx. You can't forget her . . no actually it was Toad's Place before they changed ownership. Yup. I think they opened up for Glen Danzig and Skeleton Witch. I'm not sure. Ive been to a lot of metal shows.

Re: Summer concerts
 

I can walk to Merriweather Post Pavilion from my place but they rarely have shows I'd be interested in. So that sucks.

Their jazz fusion thing is pretty unique, and a good percentage of his songs are very soulful. The more commercial stuff you'll hear on the radio aren't really the songs I'm into.

They're my favorite band by far. They were a trendy college band for a while, but they're bigger than that now.

I'm the same. Plus when he gets into that tone where he barely enunciates his words it's kinda ehhh, not a big fan of his voice either. I remember one time watching the Central Park DVD I enjoyed the sound, but I was pretty drunk at that point too. The lyrics just don't come together for me, some of the songs are just way too vague, others aren't that way though.

There are some songs that I enjoy, I just can't get into the whole thing. If anyone has suggestions for me to listen to feel free, maybe I just haven't heard enough of it.

A lot of people look at me funny when I say stuff like this because I'm a big O.A.R. fan, but I just feel more energy in their music, a lot of storylines, etc.

Unfortunately no

Re: Summer concerts
 

Not really a summer concert but i'm taking the wife to see Daughtry and Cavo at Penn State on March 31. Should be interesting. She like Daughtry and I like Cavo.

I think they're an aquired taste for some. I wasn't a big fan of them at all until I saw them live for the first time back in '97. After that I was hooked. You just can't beat them live.

I can see that. Last year I took a friend to the Charlotte O.A.R. show and another to the Auburn Hills, MI one. Both made fun of me for listening to them until those shows. I'm sure that I'd enjoy DMB live, whether I could enjoy their catalogue on my own afterwards who knows.

Techically he didn't, it was the bus driver.

Regardless, the band's philanthropic efforts are pretty extensive and more than make up for that one unfortunate incident.

5/1 My Morning Jacket!

You must live close to the mall as well. That area is a mad house.

They have a real limited and weird schedule at that venue.

I totally agree. I was never a big fan (and I'm still not) but I took the wife to see them live at SPAC and they put on a great show. I really got into it.
