Finally got to hear “Like I Used To” live. My year is complete.

7/22/2022 10:37:15 PM

another great Asheville show featuring yet another godawful Asheville crowd

there were groups behind us who had loud conversations during each set

glad to finally see SVE live. she fucking destroyed.

7/22/2022 11:43:28 PM

I actually thought the crowd was 1,000 times better than BH. Guess it all depends who’s around you. ?????

7/23/2022 5:58:18 AM

we were in front of the soundboard and were surrounded by people talking loudly the entire time

7/23/2022 9:45:38 AM

Courtney Barnett! And I want to see Dehd, I missed them when they were around recently.

Sick lineup

7/29/2022 9:56:49 PM

Is Hopscotch not as ?big? as it used to be?

7/29/2022 11:16:27 PM

It’s just two stages now (city plaza and Moore square). Change they made last year as a Covid thing. Hopefully the club shows will be back in the future.

7/30/2022 9:24:03 AM

really impressed and happy with that lineup

there’s been an explosion of festivals since the first Hopscotch. I’m sure scheduling a festival in 2022 is insanely hard.

7/30/2022 10:52:09 AM

Run the Jewels and Rage Against the Machine fucking ruled, and I saw Guy Fieri in the crowd

8/1/2022 12:03:53 AM

Tim Heidecker exceeded expectations. He was hilarious, and his band was Very Good.

8/1/2022 9:29:38 AM

^^I didn't even know it was happening until I saw some people on the IG feed. I was crushed. I totally would have gone to that.

8/1/2022 9:46:40 AM

I mean, it was originally scheduled a few years ago

8/1/2022 11:08:45 AM

Jenny Lewis at Haw River cancelled.

8/15/2022 1:07:05 PM

Rage last night, haven't seen them since Rock the Bells, brought my 5 and 7 year olds who have been begging to go since I told them they were touring

Older one made it all the way to the end, younger one, not quite. Have a pretty great video of Killing in the Name swinging between the band, my kid singing and playing air guitar, and ending on my other kid sound sleep during what must be the loudest and highest energy moment he's ever been in

8/15/2022 4:10:43 PM

Not a concert, but saw Kevin Hart at PNC tonight. He was hilarious, might be my favorite set from him ever.

Question though, has anyone been to a show with Yondr pouches? I had a terrible experience with them and am wondering what everyone else thinks, seem to be a pretty polarizing product

8/20/2022 11:23:11 PM

Never been to a show with them, but love the idea. It's incredibly annoying to be at does where a majority of the audience is recording on their phones much of the time.

What made your experience terrible?

8/21/2022 2:57:30 PM

I saw Jack White with the phone things…I get the idea but I have a problem with it for two reasons:

1) I’m a father whose wife has no problem with me going out and doing whatever once the kids are in bed…if I’m often going to places where I can’t be reached that’s an issue

2) Add up how much it must costs to rent those things and pay all the extra ppl needed to deal with them. That goes into the cost of your ticket

8/21/2022 5:22:53 PM

^^I had a situation where our babysitter couldn’t reach us and we weren’t able to respond/react until the show was over a couple hours later.

8/21/2022 6:55:44 PM

damn happy to recover from Covid in time to be able to see Spoon and Interpol Saturday night

9/1/2022 11:17:30 PM

^^,^^^ Well as a non-parent i don't have those communication issues. although if that was a problem couldn't you have went and checked your phone for messages at regular intervals? As i understand it they have places for you to do that?

Also i would gladly pay a little more to go to shows where the people around me aren't constantly recording/taking pictures/etc. Itb can be incredibly annoying.

9/1/2022 11:40:37 PM

I went to Jack White in Charlotte and absolutely loved the yondr pouches. Absolutely willing to pay a little more for that to be the standard at shows.

9/2/2022 8:24:35 PM

CAN I go check my phone? Sure.

Do I want to pay more money so I have to miss several parts of a concert to go check my phone? No I do not. Is checking my phone a few times throughout the night the same as being available immediately if there’s an emergency? Of course not

Again, I get the idea, but I also don’t really give a shit what other people are doing at a show. I came to experience a concert so I focus on that. Sure I would prefer not everyone have their phone out but it’s not really a serious bother of any kind to me. Do you, spend less time worrying about what other people are doing

Btw, tip for anyone that really needs their phone during a show. At my venue the Yondr people were not taking your phone immediately after security. Bring a cheap or old phone with you and hand that to them in the pouch line.

9/3/2022 8:28:37 AM

It's not that I'm worrying about what others are doing with their phones. It is incredibly distracting to me and detracts from my own experience when others around me are constantly holding their phones up directly in my view. I don't give a shit what other people are doing, so long as it is not negatively impacting my own experience.

Sorry that i don't think people's social media clout is more important than my own enjoyment.

9/3/2022 10:09:29 AM

I’m short, everyone is always in my view all the time, so I guess people holding up phones is only really like 10% worse than what I normally have to deal with anyways

9/3/2022 10:23:58 AM

Lol

9/3/2022 10:27:03 AM

saw The King Khan & BBQ Show tonight

it was the most joy I’ve felt at a show since the pandemic

[Edited on September 19, 2022 at 12:26 AM. Reason : .]

9/19/2022 12:26:04 AM

Nice, we thought about going. I've never seen the BBQ Show. I've seen the Shrines a couple times, but I think I like the BBQ music more.

9/19/2022 12:48:56 PM

Kendrick Lamar's Rich Spirit + N95 performance on Saturday Night Live:

semi-annual reminder to go see Lucy Dacus whenever she’s anywhere near you

fucking incredible show tonight

10/3/2022 10:46:50 PM

^seeing her tomorrow night. excited.

10/4/2022 11:32:48 PM

Had a first at a show tonight. Lucy Dacus came out to inform us that their tour bus driver had bounced with the bus (that I was parked right in front of on 36th st) and all their shit (minus gear which was already unloaded on the stage). She then played a 5ish song solo acoustic set while her band mates got that sorted with the police. Then the opening band came on then Lucy played a full set. She gave us an update later that the bus driver had been found by the cops at a junk yard maniacally laughing and videoing himself with the bus. All in a great show. #truestory

10/6/2022 12:21:10 AM

that’s insane

glad it didn’t ruin the show

10/6/2022 10:08:13 AM

Father John Misty at DPAC Saturday. I'm not not a big fan of his latest album.

10/6/2022 10:53:46 AM

It’s grown on me. I’ll be there.

10/6/2022 10:47:36 PM

I don't see how the hell anyone feels it's safe to go to shows in the US.

[Edited on October 7, 2022 at 6:50 AM. Reason : ///]

10/7/2022 6:49:25 AM

^lol

10/7/2022 11:20:11 AM

Kevin Morby was fucking great last night

"Father John Misty at DPAC Saturday"

Father John Misty fans make me uncomfortable.

I'm pretty sure they're in a cult.

10/22/2022 6:53:25 PM

Cool.

The show was pretty awesome, he sounded good, engaged with the crowd and was funny. And I'm not in a cult. (and I still don't really care for his latest album, but it at least grew on me a little bit and a few of the songs are ok)

10/24/2022 11:54:36 AM

Violent Femmes were pretty incredible at Saxapahaw

10/27/2022 10:07:31 AM

Plains were great last night and the Waylon and Willie cover was icing on the cake

11/8/2022 4:46:32 PM

Just saw that tix for Tyler Childers @ Red Hat are going on sale in a few days, for a show that's next August. When did they start selling tickets 10-months in advance? And when did lawn seats start being $100+?? Sheesh.

11/15/2022 3:09:47 PM

lol well i guess I'm never gonna see him live again

11/15/2022 4:23:02 PM

The Smile killed it last night. First time at Ryman Auditorium. What a great venue.

12/4/2022 9:11:44 AM

Ian Noe was great at the Lincoln Theatre

12/6/2022 4:37:51 PM

[code] [/n]

hell yes

1/11/2023 3:08:35 PM

Hammered Hulls/Cor de Lux show on Thursday was great.

1/21/2023 7:24:51 PM

just saw Dave Attell at the new Goodnights

jesus christ. an absolute assassin.

1/26/2023 10:44:09 PM

Opting for GA hopscotch wristband this year for the first time since year 1. $275 more for VIP is just not worth it with the new format.
