Music... I Listened to Some

Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit last night at the Orpheum... GREAT show. Wow, what amazing musicianship.
And Amanda Shires was performing with them, so EXTRA bonus of having her there!
Wow. What a show! And that theatre... have never been to it. If you get the chance do it!!!






Lukas Nelson, Truckers, Jason Isbell... Son Volt was cancelled. I think I have a type.

 

Been listening to a lot of Screaming Trees lately... then a friend shared this sad news yesterday..

I was just typing up a message with the same exact YouTube link, and then saw the little notification that new messages had been posted. Glad I checked before posting a repeat. Yes, very sad news.

 

RIP Gary Booker of Procol Harum

A more rocking sound with Robin Trower...

 

Got this in the mail a few days ago and finally opened it up.
If memory serves; Dischord records released their first record as Dischord #007, supposedly to appear to be a more established punk record label. This box set is the first six 7” releases , plus, an unreleased 7” by an earlier iteration of teen idles, rounding out their roster at 200 releases for their 40 year anniversary.

the revelry lasted just a few minutes at which point my wife walked in and ask me to turn off my “yelly, screamy music,” for dinner.

 

I'll add this hear to stop muddying up the other thread....

 

Awesome! Thanks.

And to whomever likened them to Sha Na Na in the other thread ought to have his musical head examined. Ska punk is not 50s pop.

 

Not as catchy as The Mirror........Waiting for the new album''''''

 

Very Rancid!

But I'm in love with Aimee, so there's that.

 

Nice stuff there! I have several original Dischord albums from Minor Threat, G.I., Youth Brigade, and Dag Nasty! They're going in the grave with me.

 

RIP, Ronnie Hawkins.

 

He's a fella that loved his job.

RIP Ronnie Hawkins gone at 87.

 

I had a drink last night with a friend of mine who is an environmental attorney now, but, back in the aughts he was in a band called Everbody asked about you. (I've never heard of them either,) but, apparently they're having their record reissued and he mentioned they toured with this band Sharazad from Bakersfield. I saw Shirazad at the HB Library and still think it was one of the greatest live shows I ever saw. Curious if anyone else on here ever went to the HB library for shows. I know the two dudes who used to throw shows there got kicked out after the library was remodeled and ended up running PCH Club in Wilmington. Another great venue lost to time. I know there's a PCH club when you drive down through Long Beach, but that's definitely not the one I'm talking about.

 

Went to see the Dave & Jimmie show at Pappy's. Didn't know what to expect, and WOW! Old guys do indeed rock!

 

me likey.........

 

I love the Interrupters so much. And I LOVE Aimee even more!

 

Not sure this will work correctly..but I've been perusing the You-Tubes and rediscovered some stuff I'd forgotten about.

Ever see a musician have so much fun on stage????

@Voodoo Tom will get it...

 

...

 

That's one young Dwight. Maybe it's all the chicks but he was totally non-crowd reactive when I saw him. Kinda like Van Morrison, social anxiety disorder. Wait... kinda like me.

 

I dig that song. Never really listened to anything by Mr. Yoakam before. Wasn't he a punk rocker before country? I guess more punk-a-billy like X.

 

Travis Barker played the drums at a Buck Owens tribute...put together by Dwight Yoakam, and included a founder of the Byrds; a guy from ZZ Top, ...

You might be surprised at who looked up to and acknowledged whom.

 

Travis Barker is all over the damn place. I think he has about 5 current compilations in rotation on the 3 or 4 XM stations I listen to.
Including this gem with Aimee Allen (see above) and HB's Dirty Heads

 

And this....skip the first few minutes of drivel...

 

It's fun to watch Travis play in a completely non-Travis style. And he certainly stands out in his look.

And Brad Paisley is the Eddie Van Halen of country music. His guitar work is innovative and without peer.

 

Cruel world festival in Pasadena. Talk about 80’s nostalgia. Fun times, got to see the goth kids melting in the sun.

 

Fun! I still have a hard time seeing the actual age of people like Johnny Lydon. Even Billie Joe Armstrong turned 50 this year.

I don't recognize the bands in the last three photos. And that is one giant sax being played by Violent Femmes!
