No lie, at one point Phil said “Shout out to good parenting!”

Taking my son to Houston to see them on the 14th. He just turned 16. This will be his first big metal show and it’ll be my first time to see Metallica too. He’s so pumped.

Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Bobby Rush at The Majestic in Dallas tonight (I live next door to it).  

Headed to terrorize the Wicked Butcher patio shortly.  Come yell out "Mule Dick" and say hello.

After that, I'll be the dude in the front row in one of my B.B. King tour shirts (always difficult to find one in my sea of Metal tour shirts).

Bourbon and Blues on a Friday, yall!  Cheers!

Is Wicked Butcher any good? I’m in that area frequently.

It is a nice place to go dine, and they cover all the bases with some nice dining flourishes thrown in.  Obviously, the dining room is fancier, the bar/patio is more casual. 

However, it seems like we hang on the patio or in the bar for random cocktails and apps more than we eat in the restaurant.  Wine list, cocktails, brown liquor are all fantastic.  For example, last night was a bottle of Ghost Block Cab with their (insanely good) Hummus and a Charcuterie plate, along with their complementary Popovers.  It was all we needed before the show.  

The best Filet in town, however, after exhaustive research...The Woolworth.  Repeatedly.  And their service and bar ain't no slouch either.  

If that helps...

It does thanks. I like The Woolworth. The pig face at CBD Provisions is a show stopper too.

Then I definitely need to go there.  Walk by it all the time on the way to, either, The Mitchell or The Scarlet Pumpernickel (or both!), depending on the mood.

Thanks for the rec!

Ok, @Buzzrock, mea culpa.  I was wrong.  The Primus, Puscifer, and A Perfect Circle was fucking awesome!

It started off on the wrong foot as it took over an hour to get into the property, park, and then walk a loooonnngg  way to the venue.

We probably missed a good 45+ minutes of music.  But once we got in everything worked out.  As we walked in Primus was starting "My Name is Mud" and then continued on into "Jerry was a race car driver".  Then they played their new collaboration with Puscifer.  This acted as a bridge.  Puscifer continued with no break.  They were great.  I should not have ever doubted a Maynard project.  After 2-3 songs they transitioned into A Perfect Circle.  They continued this throughout the night.  Each band would play a couple of songs and then transition to one of the other bands.  

The stage was set up with giant staircases on each side leading about 15'-20' up to a riser that had all three drum kits for the assorted bands.  When they moved on to a different band the musicians that weren't playing just hung out on the staircase or on the side of the stage, chilling, partying, even playing table tennis.  They were having a great time and would just float back onto the stage and perform.  

The sound guy was the tits.  It sounded crisp, clear, and loud back in the grassy area where we were (cheap seats).  The bass rocked the whole environment without overpowering the rest of the band.  Good job sound guy!

There were several jams in which all 3 drummers were playing and it was fucking awesome.  Primus' new drummer is really good.  Sounded amazing.

My only complaint, other than the parking clusterfuck, would just be my hate of going to concerts at such large venues.  I hate paying so much for tickets and then essentially watching the video screens because I can't see the band.  I suppose I could shell out a lot more money to sit up front but that runs counter to my credo.  I like good music at small venues where I can tap into the energy of the band and crowd.  Sitting on a hillside is such a downer.

Also, fuck LiveNation.  $28 cocktails.  Go fuck yourself.
