Weird Al was... really low energy crowd at first, full speed an hour in, and everyone was standing by the end. 

He's old, and so are we, his audience.

Hmmm . . . 

Sweet!  That'll be fun. 

They've been touring with a lot of really good bands.  Happy for them.

I don't know if you are aware of this but GA-20 is pretty much a different band these days.

The lead singer (Pat) and drummer (Tim) left to form Canyon Lights.  

The guitarist for GA-20 kept the name and brought on new members.  I think the new guy's voice is a definite step down from Pat Faherty's and his hair is like 10 steps down.

Bummer. Thanks for the heads up.

Went with Erhine and our respective wives, show was fucking awesome. Badass to see CCR again, I cant remember last time I saw them live. The closer slapped and went hard in the paint. A freestyle version of Boys from Oklahoma featuring just about every special guest was great but closing with LA Freeway was badass

That was a great show.  Getting out of the parking garage...not so great.

I hope CCR decides to make it a yearly show at McLane Stadium, instead of just having it up Stillwater and nowhere else.  Of course it had been 15 years since they played in Texas, so maybe that's a longshot.

saw neil young and the chrome hearts monday in denver. more songs and less jamming than the show i saw last year with crazy horse backing him. definitely more mellow this time around, and the vibe with this band is completely different. micah nelson is not great but i think that's part of why neil likes playing with him. spooner oldham is in the band but i couldn't hear a thing he played all night, which seems to be the norm. wasn't the best neil young show i've seen but i'm happy any time i have a ticket and he shows up and plays.

Guess I’ll be headed to Europe to catch at least one of the Radiohead shows. You have to wonder if these may be the last shows for them. 

The instructions on radiohead’s website give me the sense that those of us in the US are unlikely to get tickets.

Saw Thee Osees last night. Loud AF and hot as hell. It was awesome!
Really happy to hear their older stuff like Toe Cutter, Chem-Farmer/Night Expo, The Dream, etc.

I haven't really been digging their most recent album and much prefer their older groovier stuff.

Saw Brandi Carlile at Red Rocks last night, and it was one of the best shows I've ever seen.  Like, so good I'd go back tonight if she was playing again.  Very Springsteenish, both in terms of how polished her show is, as well as how she just opens her heart and lets it all out.  

But the thing that's really stuck in my head was her first opener, a young girl named Allison Ponthier.  Her music dealt heavily with gay themes, and then she announced that she was going to do one more song.  She said she grew up in Texas (Allen), and that it was tough to be gay there, but that she still loved her hometown, but she wished it loved her back, so she wrote a song about it.  And then she played this song that hasn't been released yet called, "Everywhere isn't Texas."  Here's a couple of snippets:

 

And when she finished, she just said, "Thank you, performing here has been a dream of mine," pulled out her phone, turned around and took a selfie with the crowd behind her, and walked off the stage.  And I sat there trying not to cry because I was gutted like a big old trout.
