sabills Posted April 9, 2015 Report Posted April 9, 2015 First concert of the season coming up on the 25th at the Waiting Room in Buffalo. Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band. One of the best live acts you'll ever see. http://www.waitingroombuffalo.com/event/765473-reverend-peytons-big-damn-buffalo/ Ugh now I'm in the rabbit hole of videos. Rev just shreds that dobro. This, as well. But no video will do him justice, and just listening to the music doesn't do a lot. They're one of those acts you just absolutely have to see live to get. Also, Kerfuffle this summer. Decent lineup, but the big draw will be Cake. Quote

qwksndmonster Posted April 9, 2015 Report Posted April 9, 2015 I was thinking about going to the All Good festival this summer. Cake and Primus are the big draws for me, but I think I'm going to go to Firefly instead. Paul McCartney, Sublime, Cage the Elephant, the Kooks, and Matt&Kim. Quote

They were absolutely wild. I didn't expect it. They opened for Spoon, and by the time Spoon came on, everyone was partied out and just wanted more Matt & Kim! So so so so so much energy. It was about 6 years ago, but it remains one of the most fun concerts I've been to. Quote

CallawaySabres Posted April 9, 2015 Report Posted April 9, 2015 Going to catch the Dead with Trey and Bruce Hornsby at Soldier Field. I swore I would never see them without Jerry but this will be a fun one. Quote

bcsaberks Posted April 9, 2015 Report Posted April 9, 2015 So far, The War on Drugs at Water Street in June. If it works out, maybe Phish for a night at Watkins Glen in August. Nostalgic for me, eye-opener for my now high school daughter. Looks like camping is already sold out though. Quote
Sabre Dance Posted April 9, 2015 Report Posted April 9, 2015 10,000 Maniacs in May and some new group in July....Rolling Stones? I heard they're pretty good. Quote
Samson's Flow Posted April 9, 2015 Report Posted April 9, 2015 This, as well. But no video will do him justice, and just listening to the music doesn't do a lot. They're one of those acts you just absolutely have to see live to get. Also, Kerfuffle this summer. Decent lineup, but the big draw will be Cake. Planning on going to kerfuffle as well. A nice day at canalside with some friends - sounds good to me. I like a few of the bands coming (Cake, Mowglis, New Politics) and the price point is nice. Quote
Claude Balls Posted April 9, 2015 Report Posted April 9, 2015 10,000 Maniacs in May and some new group in July....Rolling Stones? I heard they're pretty good. If the Sabres win tomorrow against Columbus, you can go to the FNC Saturday night and see at least 10,000 Maniacs. Quote
Claude_Verret Posted April 9, 2015 Report Posted April 9, 2015 Steel Panther is finally visiting Raleigh on their All You Can Eat tour next month. Also have Rush tickets for the show in Greensboro. Quote
BagBoy Posted April 10, 2015 Report Posted April 10, 2015 Reverend Peyton is the man. Great call out, Dark. Sabills, you’re right that video doesn’t really do his talent justice, but here’s him describing and demonstrating what he’s actually doing. Not too shabby. Quote
I am Defecting Posted April 10, 2015 Report Posted April 10, 2015 Gotta see the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra Doctor Suess show. It's gonna be mental. The boy's gonna have a newfound respect for cellos after that one. Quote
beerme1 Posted April 11, 2015 Report Posted April 11, 2015 Been to Garth Brooks at FNC (was great) and Neil Diamond at FNC for the wife this year and surprisingly had a good time. Also have a Shania Twain concert coming up in London. But the highlights for me this season is old geezer celebration. Back to back Saturdays with The Stones at the stadium and then The Eagles at FNC. That is a great seven day stretch. I can't make it cause we're hosting a party the night before but continuing in the good for old geezers tours Bonnie Raitt at UB August 2nd will be a highlight show. Sold out in minutes and last time she was here ten years ago UB says was the best show they've ever hosted. I've seen some great shows there since then like Joe Cocker and Susan Tedeschi so that is some high praise. Quote
beerme1 Posted April 11, 2015 Report Posted April 11, 2015 Pretty sure the crowd won't be quite the same at the stadium for The Stones as it was last time I saw them there in 1981! Rules have changed. Then everyone was allowed to bring one gallon of the liquid of their choice. In addition I think everyone that went also brought in a sheet of acid and an ounce of weed lol ;) Quote
X. Benedict Posted May 5, 2015 Report Posted May 5, 2015 Anyone ever see Widespread Panic live? I have a nephew that wants to go. I need to know what I'd be in for. Quote
ddaryl Posted May 5, 2015 Report Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) I've got tickets for the Grateful Dead in Chicago.. That my only concert planned. But I usually see a few shows in Seattle every year when they pop up One of my favorites is Railroad Earth Anyone ever see Widespread Panic live? I have a nephew that wants to go. I need to know what I'd be in for. Panic is a pretty damn good band. They are a good throw back to 70''s rock and roll styles and do lots of improvisation. Its a pretty good party scene, but fans are pretty kind and pleasant Edited May 5, 2015 by ddaryl Quote

qwksndmonster Posted May 5, 2015 Report Posted May 5, 2015 I've seen Get The Led Out a couple times before. Very entertaining. Quote
Weave Posted May 14, 2015 Author Report Posted May 14, 2015 Had a great time seeing Godsmack at the Main Street Armory in Rochester last night. First time for me at that venue. Acoustics aren't really all that good, but the size and layout of the venue makes it a great place to see a concert. Parking wasn't as bad as i feared. And it was the first time I've ever been frisked before entering a show. The opening acts were so-so, but godsmack more than made up for it. Had a great time. Next week The Boy and I will be in Rapids Theater to see Clutch and Mastodon. Looking forward to that one! Quote
