Aaron and I have on the agenda

6/26 Alice Cooper/Iron Maiden...this old deadhead and his former dead cover band but metal at heart drummer son are psyched big time. Mansfield Mass.

7/22 Vibes...saturday. Zappa does Zappa and Primus main reason I'm going, but Strangefolk, Yonder Mt. will be good, and I may check out STS9, though I'm glad they're on the green stage. Bridgeport Ct. (Gathering of the vibes)...Crazy ass festival, complete with dirt covered kids dressed in tie dye, who were like 3 when Jerry passed away...

8/11 Janes Addiction in Boston.....my favorite band besides Umphreys McGee (and Primus) lately. Perry is a trip, and they're spot on music wise. Got good seats, this tour has been very good. Theatrical and entertaining, on top of the awesome talent. Perry is 4 months older than me, and joined the cast of former junkies born again health wise, and it shows.

For anybody interested, I see Grace Potter and the nocturnals are playing Toads Place in New Haven. Tix on sale soon, shows 8/9. Not a fan, but have some friends (wimmenfolks) who are rabid fans.

I would have loved to gone tonight to see Jack White and Alabama Shakes at Roseland. But it was sold out by the time I heard about it.

lol were starting to get the equipment now ;lol

so far Ive done two godsmack shows, some desperate rain festival. Me and my sons are stagehands and now the bands are lining up for the Summer time. We know we have lady antebellum and sugarland coming up soon along with a kenny logins date thrown in.

I like country music people, they all get along well.

Maybe GOTvibes, seen it several times in recent years always fun, definitely Dave matthews band at festival were real wood stock took place in 1969 such an awesome music venue.

WoodCore · May 23, 2012

Phish both nights in Worcester, Jazz Fest in Saratoga, NY and Blues Traveler in Bridgeport August 24th.

kickstand · May 23, 2012

I've got Kenny Chesney/Tim McGraw/Grace Potter in Foxboro in late August. That's it so far. I'd like to go to the Outlaw Road Show that Counting Crows is putting on, but both shows are on the south shore. I'm on the north shore. Not battling traffic thru the city, especially on a Thursday or Friday during the summer.

mattm59 · May 23, 2012

Phish is cool

never seen them, maybe one of these days.

BobR, not sure how old you are, but I got a funny story. Couple years back at the Vibes, Rhythm Devils is coming up (Kreutzman/ Hart), and my kid and I are right up front. Got some 16 year olds next to me, one asks "you ever see these guys before?" I say "yeah, like 40 times when they were in the Grateful Dead."....2 rows of people turn and stare at me...so I hit them with the punchline " I saw Jerry when he was skinny" :spin:

Loved that band in the '70's, used to see Max Creek every other thursday at Mad Murphys in Hartford. I remember both bands having a drum ring, severely disappointed in the Rhythm Devils when all the hype about "polyphonic percussion" and the talking drum ended up being Harts kit falling apart, Kreutzman lacksadaisical as hell, and the talking drum was dijembe with a bent stick. My kid drums better than the 3 of them put together. Saw Furthur a couple times, times have changed.
Shakedown plays Toads a lot, they're not a bad GD type band. My kid played with Dave the guitarist one night. He's since quit the band...they're going nowhere, though they'll be at the Vibes again this year, School of Rock stage I think.

Vibes saturday has Strangefolk, I downloaded some of their stuff from archive.org, and I'm liking it.

Vacating the island after the show by ferry made this a non-event for me. Loved the fact UM was playing there, looks like I'm missing them this summer. They're in Bridgeport 8/11, but I'll be in Boston at the JA show.
Added BOC 7/7 in Peekskill to my list. Hitting LeMans at Lime Rock same day, and it's going to be a very full one. Second row; turning my kid on to the pioneers of metal this summer it seems.

Ah Ha...didn't see that before. s'alright, I went to NYC in February for Umphreys, and 50 minutes walking around times square was enough for awhile. Good line-up though. Vibes is real convenient for me, I'm about an hour up rt. 8. The other shows I'm adding something in (flying lesson after Cooper/Maiden, LeMans before BOC, Whale watch/Freedom tour walk after JA) so the drive becomes less of an issue. Cripe, that makes me sound...umm..middle aged or something :roll:

I really want to see Umpherys I hear they are the next phish/ GD jam band, ya times square can be annoying , best part of nyc is not their. your not middle aged in mind and that is what is important. Vibes is great but i can not afford many shows so i might skip this year maybe PA one and will see trying to save money.

fun band

UM is a fun band to see, super talented and more tempo changes than my brain can take sometimes. I've seen them 4 times with my musician son, and we have literally dropped our jaw at every show. They have an "internal communication system", and the drummer calls the shots, so we you see him talking into the little mic, expect something crazy to happen.
Got some of their shows here
