I must say this is rather tempting.

I'd love to go, but there's no way I can buy tickets for something next June. That feels like a million years away.

Auditorium Theater the day after my birthday. Maybe I can someone to buy tickets for me.

I'm tempted, but I feel like this will be a very subdued tour, which I'm not really into. I doubt it could live up to when I saw him on the Dig Lazarus Dig tour.

Really wish i got to see that tour.

Where is he playing Denver? Some theater?

If this brand of music about a kid who fell to his death tragically doesn't fit for you, you could always just go to an Eric Clapton concert.

Paramount Theater. Haven't been there yet.

I saw him w/ Bad Seeds in 96 and it was amazing. Saw the Boatman's Call tour which was him solo and it was good.

Its a lovely little theater. I actually quite enjoy that area of downtown

For what it's worth, I went to the "Push the Sky Away" tour thinking it was going to be a relatively tame show, and it was wild. I can't imagine he'd put on anything less than an awesome show.

I've only listened to Dig, Lazarus, Dig. Where do I go next? I'm going to check out Skeleton Tree, but is there something that's essential? Maybe something that's on the heavier side and not subdued.

If you like DLD, check out Abattoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus next.

Oh and be sure to listen to Grinderman, too.

Tender Prey, Henry's Dream, and Let Love In are the other essential records if you dig Lazarus, IMO.

Definitely.

Which of their albums should I start with?

"Abbatoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus" is my favorite. There is also some fun stuff on "Dig Lazarus Dig" that would probably be pretty enjoyable to a first-timer (like the title track and "More News from Nowhere").

I would say the greatest hits collection he put out like 16 years ago is really good.

AND WE CALL UPON THE AUTHOR TO EXPLAIN!
