If anyone is near the Philadelphia area, Radio 104.5 does a Summer Block party concert series at the Piazza and it's free! They are quality shows too. I only found out about them recently and I already missed Atlas Genius, Family of the year, and Jackson Kinsley in May and Metric, Royal Teeth, and Goodnight Lights in June. Got to see Cold War Kids, Capital Cities, and Bad Books on Saturday and it was an awesome show. I definitely recommend getting to these if you can. Great atmosphere and great performances. All three bands were awesome. Next month is Panic! at the Disco, Alt-J, and Walk Off the Earth. The September show is The Airborne Toxic Event, American Authors, and The Unlikely Candidates!

Del McCoury, Bobby Hicks, Jerry McCoury, Bobby Osborne and J.D. Crowe did a free show in a tiny little town called Marshall, NC. for Bobby Hicks 80th B-Day. Awesome show so much talent, experience, and history.
Trampled by Turtles and the Devil Makes Three. Fabulous! 12 year old son has dubbed it the "best concert ever" and anytime you get to hear TBT play Fake Plastic Trees it's been a good day

I wanted to put this in the Yay thread cause I'm still reeling from Tuesday night. Saw a great show from Father John Misty, he was especially loose and had a gallon-sized concoction of a drink in his hand pretty much all night, and he was still in the same clothes he wore at Newport! He looked like a filthy, fat Jim Morrison and really delivered. We met the band after the show and they signed my setlist! J. Tillman gives the best hugs ever and he said things got "wooly at Newport. It was too much of a white wine crowd for me. Lots of complacent white people there." LOL! The band seemed sad, though, about Newport, a little misunderstood. They all talked about being on the road for this long: That they are too wore out at this point. I have to say that getting a hug from J. Tillman and getting to talk with them for awhile is one of my favorite music experiences now. Here are my pics:
Josh smelled bad. He really wasn't lying when he said during the show that he has one outfit now for the rest of the tour cause he's been wearing the "amateur cocaine smuggling pilot outfit" for a week now. They tore down their own gear and are traveling in a pretty modest rig, a simple black bus. When I handed him my setlist to sign, the encore sheet (or, as he called the encore, "the DiGiorno") was on top. He exclaimed, "Was this all we played?! I guess it was a pretty shitty show then." Naw, it wasn't. It was pure gold. He also had to add "Satanic Pizza Blues" to my setlist cause he wrote a song for us that night, mocking Pittsburgh and it's love affair with crappy pizza and "spaghetti factories." So true.

Are you talking about the TBT set at Floydfest? If so then yesssss. Very talented bunch. Them and Old Crow was awesome on Sunday at Floydfest.

Nope, couldn't make Floydfest this year (wahhh) but they played Wilmington with Devil Makes Three.

Wow that is amazing!! But ewwwww on the smelly front, haha.
And you could really tell he was thrown off at NFF. How anyone can literally sit still while that man is on stage is beyond me.

I will still gladly take a smelly J. Tillman hug any day! He is one sexy beast, but more importantly, that was by far the most genuine hug from an artist I have ever gotten. He really went all in for it, none of that limp arm stuff happening there! Sweet guy, no doubt.

Just caught Gogol Bordello in a crowd of 800. Great great show. Had only seen them at festivals and couldn't miss the chance to see them in such a small venue. Buckets of sweat were lost. Hell of a Wednesday night I would say.
Mastodon destroyed Biloxi last night. Closest they've ever played to me and they played for one hour and 40 minutes. Machinehead was pretty meh and actually kind of annoying as an opener though.
I witnessed something very metal (yet pretty horrible) in the pit during Blood and Thunder. This dude busted ass hard and his head landed on a beer bottle. When he got up, he kinda did like some kinda head shake thing and blood went everywhere. A gush of it went right into one dude's face and got into his eye. Hopefully he didn't get Hep C or some shit.

I saw what was billed as the North Mississippi Allstars Duo on Saturday. Basically, it was supposed to be Luther and Cody Dickinson. But this was at Terrapin Crossroads, which Phil Lesh owns, so he joined them. Anders Osborne came out for a few songs, too. Luther brought out the coffee can guitar and Cody gave us the customary electric washboard solo and they all just tore it up. On a scale of 1 to 10, I give these guys an A+.
Bombino, a week or so back, at Brooklyn Bowl was one of the most lively "international" band I've ever seen. You expect from the recordings for it to be calm and soothing.. nah they brought it hard with those guitars.

Ya I saw these guys at Sasquatch and they ripped it up. He is an amazing guitar player and everyone in his band are fantastic as well. Definitely a rocking show with lots of loose jammy spots. Great stuff.
The Living Walls conference came to Atlanta. Basically, street artists from all over the world spent a couple weeks painting walls around the city. Awesome stuff. At the end, The Goat Farm threw a big party/main event that included an art show and a Killer Mike concert. What a lovable dude, that Killer Mike. At the end, all that big, sweaty, barrel of fun jumped into the crowd and finished the set directly in front me. Here is a video I found of the night:

Saw Black Sabbath for the first time a couple nights ago and thought it was really good. Not too many gimmicks; just a well constructed set list with lots of great songs and 4 superbly talented performers delivering the goods.
My friend won barrier lottery and his other friend that is in the fan club didn't want to be on the rail because he's done like 80 Maiden shows and prefers to be able to drink beer and smoke whenever he wants at their shows. So my friend let me have his spot. Being on the rail for Iron Maiden was insane. I couldn't stop laughing at Janick. He was prancing around the whole time 10 feet in front of me. Everyone in the band made eye contact with me (probably because I was the only one within 50 feet of them not wearing an Iron Maiden shirt). I caught the Shawn Drover's wristband after Megadeth finished. Almost caught a Adrian Smith's Maiden wristband...the top of my middle finger touched touched it but the guy behind me got it. Missed a Janick guitar pick by about an inch. My friend got their setlist.
