I missed it in Brooklyn. I had tickets, but I couldn’t fathom leaving the house due to the FUCKING TYPHOON that descended on the tri-state area that night. Very, very disappointed (altho I saw them maybe 100x in the 90s, so this isn’t a total loss).

Man I loooooved that ā€œIn Cā€ album they did a few years back. Need to listen to the new one someday soon. They really have aged better sonically than a lot of their peers.

Went to see Rush at MSG (2nd show). Epic. So good!!!

I’m kinda done with concerts. I’m very short and I’m starting to develop health problems that prohibit standing for a long period of time. Often I buy tickets and either don’t go or split during the opening act because I realize how much more comfortable I’d be at home. All to stand behind some schmuck filming the show for no good reason. (I often want to disrupt these people’s bullshit by asking them, earnestly, if I could get sent a copy of the show, what the name of their Youtube channel is, have they done any other filming, what equipment are you using – anything to keep them from ā€œenjoyingā€ the show.)

I’ll still go for some of my favorites – if Faith No More hits the US in '27, I’m going – and concerts with seating are definitely more likely to get me to buy a ticket than SRO.

Just saw Tomahawk/Melvins which was incredible…and about to see Acid Bath/Neurosis/Melvins/Kylesa in Asheville in Sept…

seeing agent orange in Sept and Social distortion and Decendents in Oct.

That’'s an incredible lineup (the Acid Bath one). I’m dying to see AB, and they played here in NYC last week, but they played at one of the shittiest venues in Manhattan, so I skipped it. I kinda wish I had gone, but I know me, I wouldn’t have been able to see anything and I would have left (see my previous post lol).

Saw Down at the Royal Oak Music Theater on Saturday. ROMT is a fairly small venue and great place to see a show. Helmet and Spirit in the Room opened. Never heard of Spirit. SitR seemed a little out of place stylistically. They weren’t bad or anything just seemed like they didn’t belong. Helmet was good and well worth watching. I’ve seen them before and always felt the same - great band to see live. First time seeing Down and wasn’t disappointed and band was on point. Phil sounded good. If you get a chance to see Down on this tour, definitely go. I don’t go to many shows anymore, it’s hard physically for me. I have back and knee troubles. Standing for long periods is difficult. However, I had a blast and was well worth the back pain. If Down is coming to your town, go. You won’t be disappointed.

Saw Acid Bath live last year and they didn’t disappoint…they were excellent…so definitely looking forward to seeing them again…especially on a bill like this…

I had no idea Helmet were still a thing. I remember being in High School and college and seeing their band Ts around from time to time

Yeah, they play here a lot. A friend of mine really likes them and it’s one of the few bands we agree on so we always go.

I picked up a used copy of their Betty album recently. I recall it being fairly popular back in the mid 90s. I’m digging it so far.

Saw Helmet a couple of years ago with Clutch and Quicksand…they were great…they are out opening for Down right now…
