I saw this show last night. QOTSA underwhelmed me a little and I left thinking the EODM was the better band and QOTSA had the better songs.
Josh Hommes' guitar was so shrilly loud that at times it was hard to hear the drums. And three guitar songs were just a wall of sound stripping the songs of any nimbleness they posses on record. I've never encountered bad sound in the facility before and could be because QOTSA tried to be deafingly loud.

I'd like to see Elton John before he retires.

He's great. I saw him with Billy Joel 15 or so years ago. What a show. 4 hours and not one piss break song.

They were really fucking loud at CalJam too, especially the bass and kick drum.

QOTSA were in Seattle last night. Seemed like everyone and their mother were trying to get rid of their tix.

Except for all those Billy Joel songs.

I saw Elton John about 15 years ago at a corporate event. It was awful, he and his band were phoning it in. I left after 4 or 5 songs to catch Roger Daltry and Joan Jett. Joan Jett was by far the best of the three live.

I got tickets to the Slayer retirement tour, Modest Mouse and Sleep this week.

Just bought tix to see The Decemberists in Prospect Park in June. Officially going to the show. Couldn't be more excited.

I was gonna go see Kitty tonight but no one can go with me and my wife is leaving on a work trip tomorrow morning and I'm having second thoughts

Go for sure. It's a great show

Or not, I guess if your wife will get mad

She won't get mad at all but I will miss her

All I know is Kitty puts on a great show

She sure does. But I have already seen her once

Oh, well then yeah I get your hesitance

Welp. Looks like my stomach wound up making this decision for me, ‘cause I ain’t feeling great.

Pewp?

Taking my wife to see P!nk tonight. I'm looking forward to it. It's part of the Super Bowl weekend here, and the venue is an old revamped place. Love going to new venues.
