1st time seeing Les. Primus comes through in the Spring and I intend to be there. I believe he lives around here too.

It blew my mind. The only thing i ever heard that sounded as big and full was Devo a few years ago, and I get to see them again in a couple weeks. BTW, @jimmyjazz , one of the other bands I saw in that 5 show marathon was your daughter's. While maybe not as mind blowing as Les Claypool, my friends and I all thought they were better than the headliner (Amyl and the Sniffers) and the crowd in the GA level of Oakland's Fox Theater seamed to agree. Super fun set.

He was fantastic. Most people around us were on their 3rd show in a row, "you can't see just one, you never knownwhat he's gonna do!" He played a about 3 hrs with a decent intermission in the middle. I thought he peaked toward the end of the 1st set and beginning 2nd, then he got a little too jam-band me for me. Come on Billy, you've been playing the same damn scale over the same progression for 8 minutes - Get on with it! Finally, he won me back with Runnin' on Empty and the encore was fantastic. That said, the way things stacked up I ended up at 5 different shows that week and seeing Les Claypool's Fearless Flying Frog Brigade a couple nights later wiped the floor with anything else I've seen. That was music like I never knew it could be. I'm still buzzing from that show. One highlight, about halfway through the show he plays "Pigs on the Wing Pt 1", then proceeded to play the entire Animals album in its entirety note for note before going back i to his own catalog. Ill never miss another Les Claypool show.

I finally saw Billy Strings a couple weeks ago and was stoked when he covered that song toward the end of his set. I saw Jackson Browne himself about a year prior, that was a treat. I've always thought that's an incredibly well written song. It's funny, I went to both those shows with the same friend and one was on the UC Berkeley campus and the other on the Stanford campus. Ampitheaters both.

This is what I was thinking when I logged in with my coffee earlier. Thought I clicked the wrong thread or something.

Concerts you are attending
I've been on roll the last couple weeks. Last weekend we had Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival in Golden Gate Park all weekend. Probably Jason Isbell and Kurt Vile were the highlights. This past Saturday I finally caught Billy Strings. Incredible show. - That was after my own band played a show in the afternoon. Tuesday night was Brian Jonestown Massacer. They seemed a step below when I saw them previously. Last night was unforgettable show with Les Claypool's Flying Frog Brigade. One of the best shows I've ever attended. At one point they played Pink Floyd's lp Animals in its entirety, note for note. Finally, Amyl and the Sniffers w Die Spitz back at the same venue tonight. This weekend I'm gonna rest up.

I dont know where else to put this... AC/DC finally resurfaces after 7 years for Power Trip and Angus still wearing the school boy outfit with the snow white hair and looking like Gollum! I sure hope there are some sort of tour and this wasn't a swan song. I didn't expect them to announce anything leading up to Power Trip, but I thought they would have by now

I'd take the guy who replaced him when he got kicked out if his band, but thats me. He's a great player for sure, but I could name 99 guys who I think are better just like Rolling Stone did the last time they made a list. But as has been said, it's subjective.

Any Doug Sahm Fans in the House?
I was introduced to Doug Sahm through the song "Texas Me" that he recorded with the Sir Douglas Quintet while they were based out here in the Bay Area back in the '60's. I tried introducing them to a friend, only to learn my friend's band had covered "She's about a Mover" back in the day. And I love this "live" version of "Mover" if for nothing else than the little hop step choreography they got going on.
