Holy crap, that list is all over the map. In a good way.

I have to decide if I wanna see the Stones in a football stadium & pay for the privilege.

That's why I'm considering it. I'll probably chicken out over the ticket price.

I saw the Stones on the Steel Wheels tour in Philly. Pretty good show. I was never a big fan. I sided with The Who when it comes to those early British bands…..
ticket prices are nuts these days. At least big arena shows. Most of the shows on my sked coming up are at smaller places like Stone Pony, Asbury Lanes and Brighton Bar all on Jersey Shore.

here's my sked:
4/04 Screaming Females (one of the best guitar players around right now)
4/09 Dash Rip Rock
4/10 Robby Kreiger
4/12 Suicide Machines
4/17 Buzz****s
5/09 Replacements
5/16 Agent Orange
5/22 Primal Scream
6/09 Kooks

and maybe
7/20 Van Halen @ Red Rocks

The fact that the board edits the Buzz-you-know-whats cracks me up.

Just go in with low expectations above Dave. Musically, the band should be great. They were when I saw 'em a couple years ago.

yeah expect to cringe a handful of times when Dave sings and you'll probably have a good time. Ed, Al and Wolf will not disappoint.

Awesome.

I think Westerberg realizes this is the last go-round, & if they were ever gonna ditch the self-destructiveness now's the time. And they're old, fer Chrissakes.

 

Also - I've been surprised at the lack of bootlegs I've seen for these newest Mats shows.

let me be clear, there was some sloppiness (forgotten lyrics, re-starts, etc).. but it was wonderful sloppiness!

In their 83-87 prime, Gawd only knows how many times the Replacements played either Kansas City or Lawrence, KS. I lived in southeast Kansas then, but really had no idea about cool shows. Even though I was a Replacements fan then.

When I think back to all the shows I could've seen had I just known about them...

 I hear ya MonoStereo. I grew up right near the Stone Pony in Asbury Park. Every cool alternative band in late 80s/early 90s played there. But we never went to shows there. We'd go se Dramarama when they played there but no one else. It kills me to think of all the show I missed there that I could'e easily gone to had I just paid attention more. Oh well. I guess that's why now I try to go to as many shows I can, even if I only know 1-2 songs by the band, even if I can't find someone else to go with so I gotta go solo....

Cool - big fan of intimate shows.

About your upcoming VH show...I've seen rumors that they're gonna play some deep cuts on the tour. Now I'm wondering if I should buy a ticket, too.

i saw Ed, AL & Wolfgang have been rehearsing things like Drop Dead Legs, In A Simple Rhyme and Dirty Movies…. only problem is: will Dave agree to sing them? Last tour the band sound checked As Is and Light Up The Sky but Dave for whatever reason didn't want to sing them. There's an interview somewhere where Ed says the band's ready to play whatever it's Dave's decision if he's gonna sing them.

I'd hold of until the first 1-2 shows if you're on the fence. See what the set lists look like. Although I'm still kicking myself for not taking the leap and getting tix to Red Rocks when I had the chance with Amex pre-sale.

This Weekend I got my Replacements show. Can't wait…...

Tom -- saw the Replacements last night in Philly. Great show. really good set list. Also I bought the poster for the event (been on a kick of buying concert posters lately.) The dude messed up and gave me 2 for the price of 1.

I almost bought the poster, then as we filed out they gave us a freebie (smaller in size, but nice)
