Caught Leon at Newport Folk fest and he also came out with the Lone Bellow during their set. Was a decent show.
I envy your ability to travel to all those shows and appreciate your feedback! Hoping to get to Pensacola and OBA next week or so and catch some live music.

As someone that lives just an hour away from P'cola and Orange Beach, I can say with absolute certainty that those are the last places in the southeast anyone in their right mind would want to travel to catch live music. Are shitty cover bands in random bars your thing? The only venue that gets anything decent in that area, Vinyl Music Hall, is probably the most horrible venue that I've ever been to. The staff are idiots, the vibe is unwelcoming, the drink menu is shit, and they rarely get anything worth traveling even an hour for. It's perfectly fine to just say that you want to go to the beach before it gets too cold.

I saw Dr. Dog there like four years ago and I totally agree with it being a shit venue. Never went back. Dr. Dog is awesome though.
Lol. Affiliated/Adjacent bar isn't bad on Garden (505??). I've only been to Vinyl for maybe 3 shows - Living Color, Coal Chamber & Filter and something decent recently that slips my mind. I've never had any issues there. I think the acoustics are good as well. Handlebar gets some okay shit from time to time. But I agree that Pensacola can be a shitty town to go out in. Think Deluna and where the fuck is everyone?

Yeah, I have totally seen some good shows there in the past few years. Deerhunter and Swans were amazing there, but those were extremely rare shows that I am still in disbelief that they even booked. They lost money on both because people here are idiots. That's really the only thing good about that venue is that they have a backer that is willing to lose money on shows a couple of times a year by booking something that is actually relevant. But that doesn't change the fact that I HATE going there for a show. I'm perfectly willing to drive another hour to NOLA instead if the same act is booked on a weekend there.
Anyone remember the exact dates early birds came out last year? I'm looking at VIP for this year, and I'd sure like to save a few hundred wit the EB's.
Hope everyone's been doing well too! Haven't been around in a couple months, but I'm back in hangout mode

Thank you for coming on the Hangout Festival thread and posting a comment that anyone who travels to th Pensacola-OBA-Gulf Shores area to see live music...Hangout Festival...are not in their "right minds". So..if you are saying The Wharf, Train, Wide Spread Panic, DeLuna, Monday night blues night at Rosie O'Gradys, and a whole lot of good young musicians who are trying to work their way up are Shizty...look in the mirror shizt head. Not sure I have ever met anyone as stuck on themselves as you dude...
I travel to the gulf to hangout with relatives and friends. We enjoy local shizty music. Glad assholes like you don't go to those shizty places.
IMO..2013 #1, then 2012, 2011, 2015, 2014, 2010. Any lineup with PJ gets half way up. Not a rap, hip hop fan so wouldn't put Drake and Kanye ahead of 2010. Florence and Machine OK.
Wow. If I had to rank:
#1 2014 #2 2012 #3 2011 #4 2015 #5 2013
2013 was way too jammy for my tastes. But, I was rewarded handsomely with 2014.

You said you wanted to come down here next week for live music. I basically told you there's nothing going on worth traveling for. Even for someone with a one dimensional taste in music. There's nothing booked at the Wharf. No Train or WSP shows until next year at the earliest. DeLuna fest died in 2012. And if you think monday night blues night at Rosie O'Gradys is worth traveling 7 hours from Tennessee, then maybe you should just move here?

The picking on Bob train derailed weeks ago. Let it die, man.
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.
I havent gotten my postcard notifying me of this yet, and won't consider it official until i do, so.
Srsly though - until he stops saying absurd things, people will continue to poke fun at him. Thats just how the internet works.
That doesn't make you sound like any less of an asshole. We are here to talk music and what we love about it. Dont come here to talk shit on random people. Now would you like a hug to get rid of that piss and vinegar attitude? <3
The picking on Bob really does get old. I'll admit the BeachBob Seger thing is hilarious and I'm all for that sticking around. But the guy can't make a simple post about what he plans on doing this weekend without people ripping him a new one and shitting all over him. Yeah he says absurd things. Most of us do. But this is THE Hangout Thread. Would we be at over 100 pages in the middle of October without some absurdities? #BeachBob2016

Look at this way, each post that shits on Beach Bob just adds to the total. I know Bob is a team player and he's just doing his best to drum up trouble to get the page count as high as possible
Summary of page 101 Hangout thread: Bob said he was hoping to get to P'cola/OB next week and catch some live music. I gave my expert opinion on the state of live music in the P'cola/OB area this time of year. Bob straight up misinterpreted it, got really defensive, called me names, and ran off. I reiterated my point with a hint of sarcasm based on his angry rant. Everyone defends him as if he's an autistic child on the internet who should get a free pass to say whatever he wants without there being any consequences.

The best teams work together, with one strong and brave leader guiding them along the way.

woah woah woah Seger, I did no such thing. I simply said thathe's a big boy and he can handle it. Then joked that the things he does are so mindblowing that he must do it intentionally.
...anyhoo, I'm enjoying a nice little un-Pensacola like concert run in Oct...Warren Haynes last Sat, Blitzen Trapper &/or Isbell/Stapleton this weekend(babysitter issues), then Sturgil, then Hulaween!
