Wasn't impressed by the openers but AK3 was a blast.

Wednesday: Boris, Torche, Nachtmystium [/quote]

Saw these guys last night. Boris and Torche were good, Nachtmystium, not so much.

The drummer from Torche did a front-flip into the crowd during Boris. Damn was he sweaty. :lol:
 
Just got back from Origin.. I think I broke my neck! It's a late Wednesday night, the crowd wasn't as big as it could've been. My next show is probably Slough Feg.
 
[quote name='senorwoohoo']Saw the Ting Tings last night. They put on a fun show but goddamn, the 16/17-year-olds there were fucking stupid.[/quote]

Looking forward to seeing them at Lollapalooza next weekend...happy to hear that they put on a good show.

(The Ting Tings I mean, not the 16/17-year-olds.)

:lol:

Just got back from Rock the Bells.

fucking great. Never thought Tribe would kill it like that. So satisfied.
 
Blue Oyster Cult friday night.

You know your career has gone downhill when you play two shows at the santa cruz beach boardwalk, both in one night.

Despite that, they were pretty good, most of the band werent from the original band but they played the original hits (ie. reaper, cities, godzilla, burnin)

Badass. How long was the whole concert?
 
Saw Nine inch nails last night and they were fucken awsome! they played all the hits including hurt,terrible lie piggy, march of the pigs etc...they also played the new songs ghost with kick ass visuals,and new songs from their latest album, over all great show ,2 hours + long
 
[quote name='Bavgate']Badass. How long was the whole concert?[/QUOTE]

I missed Wale's set, the first of the day, at noon since I got through the doors at 12:30ish. So it was about 10.5 hours long.

It was great/embarrassing when I flipped out during De La doing "Rock Co. Kane Flow" and everyone else, except my g/f, didn't know it.
 
Spiritualized and The Dirtbombs on Friday.

The Dirtbombs were amazing, but the crowd was kind of lousy.

Spiritualized was perfect. Both their slower blues/gospel numbers and their feedback-laced harder stuff were equally powerful, and they had a perfect flow through the set.
 
I went and saw Gov't Mule on friday with Rose Hill Drive as the opener.

Rose Hill Drive was meh but Gov't Mule was fucking amazing.

They played 2 hour and half sets and 3 encore songs bring the time over 3+ hours. Warren Haynes is fucking win with the guitar too, he was ripping it all night. Paid $22 for a ticket and man the show was easily worth $75.
 
[quote name='rabbitt']Radiohead was last night.

Thom Yorke is a fucking scientist.[/quote]

Yes. I came to that conclusion when I saw them in 1997 - they were SICK. Johnny Greenwood is also a scientist of sound - because he's mathematically putting it down.

They played for a really long time - no less than 30 songs. The entirety of In Rainbows was woven through their older material. Johnny played the keyboard with the end of his guitar for the final song.

I want them to come back again.

The Toadies and NIN were awesome.

Tally Hall and Innerpartysystem were both pleasant surprises.

I also got to play some Little Big Planet...it was a blast.

I'm tired, sunburned, sore, and jetlagged. It was worth every minute.
 
I just saw Priscilla Ahn at the Tin Angel in Philly. I went with friends even though I had never heard of her. It was O.K. A little too girly for my taste.
 
Lisk Fest is coming up in Irvine in October. The lineup so far is Pennywise, Gorilla Biscuits, Ignite, The Aquabats, Rival Schools, Set Your Goals, Death By Stereo, and No Trigger. More to be added...sounds like fun so far. :)

I went to Kanye's concert today/last night and now I've got like a horrible taste in my mouth (not literally). I thought it was decent, but that's the problem. It was disgusting to hear everyone on his nuts as if it were the greatest show of all time. It definitely didn't live up to the hype. Parts of it were pretty sweet, although those were balanced out by parts that were lame as fuck. I feel so cheated. And that's cause I was near the back of the floor section ($190 seats). I also got tickets to see it again tomorrow, and am regretting spending the extra $500. (My original plan was to sell the ghetto seats after I found out they had good ones for sale, but nobody bought them.)

I think the people are more excited about the setup than Kanye himself. Throughout the concert, I couldn't help but compare it to 50/G-Unit's, and think "those bitches tore the place down, and they didn't need any fancy video screens to get the crowd hyped up."

I need a hug. Anyone?
 
I take back what I said in my previous post. I sat (stood) in the front row this time around (it makes a HUGE difference), and was rolling balls (which also helped), so I had a pretty good time. :)

Jay-Z came out at the very end, as well.
 
Went and saw my friend's band, Sea Fields of Elephants, at their EP release party tonight. Really fun show, and I made off with 5 CDs, 3 of which were free. :)

Went and hung out with the band members afterward. It's a shame, since it was one of their last shows. :[
 
[quote name='senorwoohoo']Melvins and Big Business last night.

Pretty damn good.[/QUOTE]

We Are Scientists was last night. They put on a real solid show. Also, the guys were hilarious.
