|
On my list of “maybes.”*

can i use this thread to complain about the lack of shows in CU?
Posted by lcubed
|
CU is awful for live rock/punk opportunities
Posted by RVA
|
Castle Theatre in Bloomington is a great venue. Saw Iron & Wine last year. Awesome.
Posted by ntb
|

|
Two thoughts:

|
AC/DC is playing Camp Randall this summer*
Posted by bjl63
|
Does the SFC suck for acoustics? I can't remember if I saw a show there.
Posted by ATL
|
I saw some epic bands at AH
Posted by Sounder
|
Yeah, but was the sound ass?*
Posted by ATL
|
i've seen kenny, fgl, counting crows, garth, and others there and thought it all sounded find
Posted by lcubed
|
As noted, for the vast majority of students in attendance: who cares about the sound quality?
Posted by osklister
|
The people who play the venues, first and foremost. Also for people who like music.
Posted by ATL
|
For a long time AH seemed like the premier venue downstate, even without beer sales
Posted by ijustkrushalot
|
I thought the major complaint was load in / load out with shitty and/or minimal dock space...
Posted by haighter
|
I think so, but honestly I can't remember
Posted by Sounder
|
I only went to one concert at AH, and I don't remember any major issues with the acoustics
Posted by Sammich
|
It's too good (bad) with all that beautiful CIP concrete. Too much reverb.*
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
I would have bet a substantial amount of money that Lamb of God was a Christian Rock band*
Posted by Sounder
|
Saw them open for Megadeth at Sleeptrain. *
Posted by haighter
|
Christian rock bands are rarely so obvious
Posted by Sammich
|
It's also the other way around
Posted by RVA
|
I bought a CD at Goodwill a while back that I just thought was a metal band I'd never heard of.
Posted by doubledown
|
Judah and the Lion is a good example*
Posted by Sounder
|
nothing yet. considering Rilo Kiley at the Chicago Theater in May
Posted by Gene Parmesan
|
I saw her open for Ray Lamontagne in Pittsburgh. She was great. He sucked. (Lewis solo)*
Posted by ATL
|
I've heard that about Ray. Unfortunate, because I like his stuff
Posted by Gene Parmesan
|
got briefly excited, but looks like not that many US shows and no Atlanta*
Posted by shua
|
Still tickets available for LCD? I might go see Flea's jazz band in May.*
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
LCD is playing 4 shows so I’m sure there are a few depending on the day*
Posted by bjl63
|
Nice, I will check it out.*
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
Looks like I need to get tickets to see Sugar in October!*
Posted by shua
|
TIL: Sugar is technically an Athens band.
Posted by ATL
|
check yo box*
Posted by ATL
|
Chesney at the Sphere in June. *
Posted by harb
|
I’m going to see David Byrne in april*
Posted by TarheelIllini
|
I’m trying to find a time and location to see Chris Stapleton but every date in a place I might be
Posted by ATL
|
OMG. Co-worker loves Lamb of God*
Posted by JeffFrank
|
So far just tickets to the Sugar reunion in NYC*
Posted by Tortillini
|
Totes Mos Jelly! They dropped a new single yesterday, BTW.*
Posted by KingTalkyTiki
|
Tour News:
Posted by JeffFrank
|
Weird there are no Chicago dates. Yet*
Posted by bjl63
|
I would be shocked if they skip Chicago.
Posted by Tortillini
|
I dropped the ball on that one *
Posted by Jersey
|
Very jealous*
Posted by Chilango
|
co-jeal*
Posted by ATL
|
Rush will see how prices drop. All other no*
Posted by JeffFrank

I went to see The Urge in STL over Thanksgiving
Posted by ISeeDeadHawkeyes
|
Where did they play? Used to go see them at Mississippi Nights BITD*
Posted by uofi1998
|
Pageant. I also saw them at Mississippi Nights when they played with LBC back in the day. *
Posted by VIV
|
i saw them a little over 20 years ago at copper dragon in carbondale. it was a great show then too*
Posted by lcubed
|
Used to see them every year at Canopy Club. 25 years later they still bring the same energy.*
Posted by ISeeDeadHawkeyes
|
We may have been at the same show. I saw them in either 01 or 02.
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
One of my favorite shows at the canopy was Urge, LBC, and Goldfinger
Posted by VIV
|
I was there too*
Posted by ISeeDeadHawkeyes
|
My concert-going as really fallen off
Posted by AintHatin
|
This getting old thing is stupid. Haven't been to a show since The Killers in Vegas last year.*
Posted by uofi1998
|
Is it age? Or kids/family obligations?
Posted by bjl63
|
It's just time constraints... 2 kids in club soccer = no weekends off*
Posted by uofi1998
|
Just bought tickets today for Tyler Childers at Wrigley in July*
Posted by OB25
|
And now it comes out that a Creed/Bush/Hoobastank concert is in Tinley Park on the same night!
Posted by OB25
|
Oh wait they’re one week apart, huzzah*
Posted by OB25
|
I'd love to see Jon Batiste but not sure Wrigley is the right venue for that.*
Posted by KingTalkyTiki
|
Goldfinger in January, Die Spitz in March.
Posted by ghost_of_clt
|
I like Die Spitz a lot
Posted by bjl63
|
I JUST really got into LCD Soundsystem this past year. Hmmm.*
Posted by KingTalkyTiki
|
I got into them a couple years ago when my BIL was playing them while we were playing pool
Posted by bjl63
|
I’m going to one of the Rush dates…

|
Seeing Rush in Philly and Maiden/Megadeth/Anthrax at Red Bull Arena *
Posted by Jersey
|
I came close to getting Maiden tickets
Posted by DT
|
I'm pretty sure that they'll still play for 2 hours
Posted by Jersey
|
Also try not to laugh…

|
Even if his music is not your thing, Ed Sheeran is an incredible performer
Posted by Sounder
|
Yep. Saw him last time in Seattle. Seeing him next time in Denver. It will be fun.*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Always a risk, and they are adding a few other musicians to help out
