No. I haven't seen any axe the cables sets. They usually do those for multi-day runs or if there is a special occasion. I've watched a couple of songs and sets, but that's it.
Phil the drummer in Genesis 1974 and earlier > pop era Phil to the 10,000,000th power
So E and Brent said Imagine was fm great besides a lost wallet. I got this:
Michael Menert and Pretty Fantastics was the best show
Ott and the All Seeing Eye was sick
Lotus was great and completely spaced the vocal songs every 20 minutes or so and owned them (as hoped)
Papadosio was great but seemed like a short set
Gramatik was the best E ever saw (8--10 shows)
Brent said Moon Hooch was fire,
Bad was Black Tiger Sex Machine, Bleep Bloop was weak, no knocks on the fest other than car line and getting in Friday. Also only one bar at Amazonia Stage which was a long walk. They had a great spot with a lot of space. Got rail for Disco Biscuits. Music was great and he said he got to see acts he hasn't seen before. Opiou was dynamite.
If anyone is still looking for an eastside location this is ours from the past 3 years, it's still available as of today. Not high luxury but literally 100 yards from the gate, ocean view, and reasonably priced.
solidrock and others...hell yeah. Great letter to Nashville power players. Merle and the musicians who played for the working man were the heart of Country music. I have yet to see Sturgill live and hope Hangout will book him for 2017. My dad is Country to the core, but most of what he listened to was Waylon, Willie, Marty Robbins, Johnny and June Cash, George, Merle and the rebels of Country music. When you see how Nashville turns their backs on Sturgill, Chris, Miranda, folks like Dallas Moore, Jamey Johnson, and other current rebels, you understand the power plays going on in the Music industry.

...not sure Chris and Miranda fall into that category, but yeah, I just like that he's willing to poke the bear.
Phil the drummer in Genesis 1974 and earlier > pop era Phil to the 10,000,000th power
I knew there was a better than average chance of you posting something like this when I threw up the Phil comment...I think you blame him too much for the shift in Genesis. It seems to me that Banks and Rutherford were driving the train and the change would have occurred with Peter as well...and it's not like Peter didn't go down the alt/pop route once he left (and used phil on the drums).
I wasn't necessarily hating on Trick of the Tale, Wind and Wuthering or And Then There Were Three. It's more Face Value, the solo stuff and his production work of that time (Nina/99 Red Balloons, etc.). Although everything after And Then There Were Three (with maybe a one or two song exceptions on Abacab) pretty much bit it.
What I said was that he as a drummer in Genesis 1974 and earlier was greater than Phil in the pop era. Trick of the Tale was weak lyrically, but you had to assume that it wasn't going to be anywhere remotely as deep as Foxtrot, Selling England by the Pound or the seminal Lamb Lies Down on Broadway.
But then there's Brand X. He wasn't a full time member, but was the only band he was in that was making real music by the late 70's/early 80's. Product, Do They Hurt and Moroccan Roll were at least some of the albums he was on. And that era of Brand X is pretty much at the top of any good list in my head. --------------- Edit to say that Gabriel 1 (Solsbury Hill/Modern Love), 2 (On The Air/DIY), 3 (Intruder/Normal Life), 4/Security (Shock the Money/Rhythm of the Heat) and So (Sledgehammer/In Your Eyes/Don't Give Up/Red Rain) were all pretty excellent. I need them all again because Katrina f'd up the ones that still played.
IMO, very few musicians stay hard core to the end. Just having children mellows a lot of performers just like it mellows people. I liked Phil better in Genesis with an edge and as a drummer when I was young and living large. I would enjoy him playing some old and new stuff at Hangout 2017. Not saying he will be a headliner but, if.
solidrock and others, there is a lot of room in that "country" genre these days. Around Nashville, Americana and bluegrass are quasi country. When I think western I think Bob Wills and Asleep at the Wheel. At one point it was "country and western". I'm down for Kenny Chesney, but not a Dolly and Porter fan. I went to my first Ryman Opry this summer and there was an alternative band that stole the show. Heck, even Jack White and Robert Plant dabble in Country. I think Sturgill and others point to the uber rich, marketing, producing, and political machine, see the TV show Nashville, and rightly say the old country of Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison has sold out to cookie cutter country radio whereas all songs include; cold beer, pick-up truck, baby in her daisy dukes. I get that.

Can you just admit that your real beef is with his appearance on Miami Vice?
Lmao. I was just throwing out a known song or two from each. I think Lead a Normal Life is maybe my all time favorite post-Genesis Gabriel song. ----/ Haha Solid. I never liked or hated that show. I was always outside when it came on so I didn't follow it.
Since this is where we post the things we do every day (and I'm fine with that) I'm seeing AC/DC tonight and Black Sabbath tomorrow night. 🤘🏻
what kind of reviews has Axel/DC been getting?
Favorable. He's actually added songs to their setlist and extended their set lengths. He's dusted off a couple of songs they hadn't done live since the 80s. I'll let you know what I think after tonight.

Sure, Ill shoot with what I saw last night. Austin is holding its "Out of Bounds" comedy festival which is Improv_Standup_Sketch. Took a friend to see this gem:
If these guys ever tour at a comedy see it no matter how unsure of your sexuality you are....it might help you determine.
i got Made In America on Sunday. Those fuckers are the worst with communication. Said the schedule was released 2 days ago and yet it really wasnt. Luckily the acts i wanna see shouldnt conflict based on the stage they will play.
St. Lucia > Banks & Steelz > Gary Clark > Chance > Coldplay

Looking forward to the review. A friend is trying to get me to go to the Buffalo show with him next week but tickets are still insane at this point.
