I wish I went to Depeche Mode a few years ago. I'd still check them out with Dave and Martin, but it would've been much cooler to see them with Fletch in the lineup as well.

I'm in 'Vegas and they're coming back in December so they're hitting North America again this Fall/Winter. Here's the link to their tour site in case they're in your neck of the woods. https://www.depechemode.com/#tour

I'm planning on moving in September, so I'm not really trying to make any plans until that is over. Hopefully I can get into MN in time to see Queens of the Stoneage

Peter Gabriel is on what I assume is his last tour and fuck these ticket reselling schemes. All of the good tickets have been bought and are going for 4x the actual price. Sigh, I might settle for never seeing him live.
I wanted to see Muse again but they never came to my area during their tour. They were the last band I saw before Covid.

I saw Peter Gabriel a few years ago. It was a birthday present for me…I refuse to pay $250 per ticket to sit in a folding chair in a basketball area with a gaggle of geezers.
We were very close, maybe sixth row. It was the So revival tour and the entire band from that period was there including the “stick man” himself. That aspect was worth it and I appreciate wanting to see PG but I have to say again that the best shows are almost always the cheaper ones. Gabriel is a unique figure, and massive inspiration for me on multiple levels, I even like his “new” stuff from 20 years ago but seriously, get thee to an indie club. Spend your money feeding the people who are young and cool now and need your money now and be a little bit cooler yourself in the process. The over the hill shows are so sad. Go to places like The Magic Stick and the Blind Pig and that kinda dump. Go to a church basement or a VFW. The Lesser Free Trade Hall, Manchester, June 1976. The KLF in a farmer’s field. That’s the stuff you remember forever. I never saw Niggy Tardust in no %#*#!-ing sports area named after a phone company.

Saw Beck at Wolf Trap performing with the National Symphony Orchestra. Was a unique experience and he ended the night sending the symphony home and playing the classic bangers.
I also saw the Soul Coughing reunion tour at 9:30 Club in DC. They were so damn good considering their age and they broke up 25 years ago. I hope they tour again.

My only show of the month was a good one:
Poison the Well
Glassjaw
Better Lovers
Teenage Wrist (skipped this one)
Edit: I realized I also saw Cold Cave this month. Guy seemed pissed at the relatively small crowd. They played 3 encore songs for most dates but only did 1 for the show I went to.

Saw Nelson for the first time at Penn's Peak last night. 3 piece act with Gunnar on guitar and Matt on bass. (Matt is wearing the hat) Smaller crowd so, the harmonies really sounded great not having to shout over the crowd.
Saw Winger for the 2nd time last Friday. Unbeknownst to me, they were on their final tour so, really glad I got to see them one more time before they hang it up for good.

Saw The Roots this weekend. Ten piece band with a horn section that included a tuba! Even had a tuba & bass solo. No breaks between songs, so the whole set just flowed for about two hours. Songs were extended with some improv bits and random pieces of covers seamlessly thrown in. Cool show.

Just saw Pantera (well half of Pantera) last night. I bought the tickets last minute because they were cheap and I've never seen them. They were pretty good! Amon Amarth opened for them, they were a bit weird, but decent. A bunch of people at the show seemed to be fans.
Going to see Nine Inch Nails next week, I might go see Deftones later this month too.

Saw Weird Al last month during his Vegas shows and he was great as always. Changed back to his previous tour style show focusing on parodies and upped it a few notches with a bigger band. Somehow that whole band was able to completely nail the scatting section of Yoda with everyone in perfect sync.
You can tell he's starting to look and feel his age a bit as he's not quite as physical on stage as he used to be, and his hair is starting to thin. There's definitely not going to be any more foot behind his head stuff any more. That's all just fine though, he's a legend, still puts on one hell of a show, and age comes for us all.
It's wild to think that only at this age with no new album in 11 years did he finally get to play MSG, and not just that, but to a sellout crowd.
