Update:
Robin Williams tomorrow night! :hyper:

He's coming to Minneapolis for a three night thing to prepare for his Vegas show at the end of the month. It's at this little 300 person comedy club, so it's basically going to be mind-blowing.

I just saw Alison Krauss and Union Station on HDNET channel a few weeks ago and it was an a amazing show and what she had to say in between songs was so charming and funny, sorry I sound like a dork.

i'm still pissed ness isn't coming to boston. :mad:

shit, the 13th? i'm working. that sucks.
 
Two more Nels Cline Singers dates for me--June 4 in Indianapolis and June 8 in Montreal (w/ Scarnella).

I really do have more varied musical interests than Wilco and Nels Cline. It just doesn't seem like it this year :wink:
 
I just got back from the David Allan Coe concert, it was fun, we went with our friends and i got some kind of necklace that blinks :crazy: and had a designated driver thank goodness. But i would like to know where was Dr. guitar player, he wasn't there.

I went to this place and it was fun, alot of dancing and maybe single meetings i don't know i've been married 25 years

In the end, I didn't go to the Arid concert (long story, but my concert buddy bailed out and as she was the bigger fan I didn't really felt the need to see them. Fortunately, I could sell the tickets). To make up for it, I did see Voicst yet another time (4th time this year already! :ohmy: This is getting into U2 Tour territory :) ).

Concerts in the past:
24 January: Voicst, De Helling, Utrecht :bow:
6 February: Voicst, Ekko, Utrecht (acoustic showcase)
8 February: Voicst, So What, Gouda (check them out at http://www.myspace.com/voicst)
22 March: Silkstone ( :down: ) & Voicst ( :up: ), Studio 31, Hilversum
28 March: Claw Boys Claw, Paradiso, Amsterdam (a wild party! :up: )

Concerts in the future:
9 May: The Paper Chase, dB Studios, Utrecht (probably, can't refuse going to a concert with fellow Interferencers in your backyard)
12 July: Doe Maar, Feyenoord Stadium, Rotterdam
15 to 18 August, Lowlands festival, Biddinghuizen (haven't got a ticket yet, but will buy soon)

It looks like I won't be able to go to many concerts for the rest of the year, as I'll be working (and staying) far from concert hotspots like Amsterdam and Utrecht.

This is really turning out to be another good concert year. An update:

5 May: Bevrijdings (Liberation) Festival, Utrecht. The main act I saw was Voicst :)shifty: I'm seeing a trend this year)
9 May: The Paper Chase, dB Studios, Utrecht (went there with Rono and ABEL!)

Concerts in the future:

Before I heard that this reunion tour was a last hurray I wasn't going to rush to another Police show (not that they weren't amazing last fall) but now I'm gonna grab some lawn tickets to their Tweeter Center show since they'll never be back.

I recently got tix for REM at Jones Beach on Long Island for 6/14. I've seen them twice at MSG, but never at The Beach. Should be a blast.
 
I was supposed to see Robyn this Wednesday, but it's been postponed until August.

I hope "August" doesn't mean "the week I'm out of state." :grumpy:
 
Friday: Los Campesinos, Black Cat, D.C.

June: R.E.M./Modest Mouse/The National, Madison Square Garden
Steely Dan, Beacon Theatre, NYC
July: Gnarls Barkley/Youssou N'Dour/Deerhoof, Hollywood Bowl
August: Radiohead, Hollywood Bowl
September: Beck/Spoon, Hollywood Bowl
 
Bob Dylan :rockon:

Totally cool...I feel like a geek, but he was so impressive up close. He was so passionate, looking up with an occasional wry smile, and rocking more than expected. Great show...I'd see him again in a heartbeat.
