For you classic rock types, Seger & Silver Bullet Band to tour this year: http://bobseger.com/index/home
I saw him in 2007 and it was actually quite an enjoyable show.

For you 80s rock types. Note: may require baby- and/or petsitter, extra days off from work, and a passport.

One question: How do they fit Village People and Earth Wind & Fire into an 80s-centric format? I'd consider both those groups to be pretty much of the 70s.

Mo' info': http://promo.livenation.com/email/campaign/?email=65023&wt.mc_id=dm-0&p=4335428&camefrom=LNC_b0_c4335428

two ticket prices:

OK, so explain to me why the "fees" for the $281 seats are almost FOUR TIMES higher than the $59 seats, when they are providing the EXACT SAME SERVICE for both.

And why do I have the feeling that there's damn few of the $59 seats, and a whole shitload of the ridiculously expensive ones?

Moving this over from the Tech thread:

Going to see Yo La Tengo tonight. Please Lord, don't let me one of those doofuses holding up his phone taking pics for half the evening! ;)


OMG - Just downloaded the TuneIn Radio app.  I don't have to carry around my portable radio for 10@10 anymore! 

Ha!  I'm going to see Yo La Tengo next Tuesday at The Fox.  Let me know your thoughts on tonight's show!  I kinda wish I'd known about Prince's concerts next week sooner.  Would've gone to see him instead.  Oh, and you're only allowed 2 photos during shows.   ;)

YLT was half-great, half not so much. If you haven't heard, they're letting fate (and a wheel of fortune) determine what theme the first set of each night's show will be. Here's a more detailed explanation of how it works:
http://www.yolatengo.com/news/november-3-2010/

I was hoping for the Condo Fucks or a Freewheelin' YLT set, but Portland drew the short straw and got The Sounds of Science Part 2, which is kind of an instrumental free jazz thing that they created as a soundtrack for some underwater films from the 40s, 50s and 60s by Jean Painleve--sort of a predecessor to Jacques Cousteau. It was kinda cool in places but it also dragged on in others. If you ever saw the Grateful Dead, it'd be like if they opened the show with space, and it lasted for the entire first set. For an Friday night audience that was primed to get their indie rock on, it did not fill the bill.

The second set however, was great, about 90 minutes that was everything the first set wasn't. Poppy, rockin', quiet and introspective, and several cool covers, most notably a Brian Wilson song I didn't catch the name of, and Neil Young's Barstool Blues.

So assuming the Wheel smiles on you, you should have a great night. If it doesn't, take a few extra bucks for a beer or two and head to the bar.
