My mistake. I had the date wrong. Jane’s Addiction, Dinosaur Jr. and Living Color are playing in Boston on the 19th.

But how’s that for a nostalgia line-up? Especially on the heels of the Smashing Pumpkins, Liz Phair show.

20 year old me might approve of at least some part of where I ended up.

Nice.

I’m hitting the old guy trifecta this summer.  3 weeks in a row of Warren Haynes playing the Dead with the BSO, Tedeschi Trucks Band, and Dead and Company at Fenway.

You going to the Mendon Drive In this weekend to catch the showing of the Dead at Sullivan Stadium in 1989? Only $25 per person and great beer and wine available.

Come back, Regular Brian.

My agenda is truth.

I don’t know…my buddy and I had discussed it…and then never got back to it.  Probably not, my parents gave me the entire July 1978 Betty Cantor soundboards for my birthday, and they are supposed to arrive Friday.  Going deep into 78

Going deep into 78 sounds like a John Dennis fantasy during spring training.

Which TTB show are you going to? Marshfield? I’m going to the one in Gilford, NH.

Gimme a Louisiana Lightning, hold the Gossage and make sure he puts a bleepin’ Dent in me.

Yeah, Marshfield…the Levitate festival.

The Red Rocks shows from that are outstanding.

I recently saw Blue Oyster Cult. Now that’s old. Not enough cow bell either.

I imagine there’s a jovial cheer from the crowd when the cowbell comes out?

I would say that song got the best response. I don’t know why, but I always dug that band. I like a song called Then Came The Last Days Of May which dates to their first album. They played it. Sounded great.

That’s what I hear, really looking forward to it.

Cut to the Werewolves of London encore.  Just great.

A Misfits reunion?  Sounds like they are playing Riot Fest, which I believe is what the Replacements did a couple of years ago as well.

w/Danzig? Here’s where I reveal myself to be a raging hypocrite    if they tour, that is.  Wouldn’t go further than Boston

Yes.  They are playing the same festival/venues as The Replacements a couple of years ago, just Chicago and Denver.

After more than three decades of estrangement, Riot Fest has done the impossible and gotten the godfathers of horror-punk, The Misfits, back together. Riot Fest has confirmed that founding member Glenn Danzig, bassist Jerry Only, and the band’s long-time guitarist Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein  will play together at both the Denver (Sept. 2-4) and Chicago (Sept. 14-16) versions of the festival under the name The Original Misfits.

I have a question that I’ve wanted to ask for a while. I know that Jason Isbell is a board favorite, but I’ve always been loath to purchase any of his records. His old band the Drive-By Truckers were up there with Deerhunter in the “bands I should like a lot more than I actually do” category. I own both Decoration Day and The Dirty South, and I don’t listen to them a lot. Is Jason Isbell’s solo stuff better on the whole? If so, where should I dip my feet. I’ll hang up and listen.

Isbell only got one or two songs per album with the DBTs. His records are much more softer and acoustic. Not a lot of crossover, really.

Get Southeastern and if you like it, get the latest one. I like Here We Rest, too. He tries a lot of different musical styles on that one. His first two albums are almost entirely skippable, other than Dress Blues, which might be my favorite song of his.

If you’re looking for another DBT record to try, get Brighter Than Creation’s Dark. That ones a bit bloated, but still my favorite. Skip all the Shona Tucker songs.

FYI, if you have Apple Music the 7/8/78 show is now on there.

This could also go in the online media thread, but there’s a pretty good interview with Frank Turner on the Turned Out a Punk podcast (<- link). The TAOP host can be a bit of a nerd, but he avoids most of it in this one. Not a bad way to kill an hour.

[GreatWhiteDhale]

I was looking up Tragically Hip and there was a news story about this Toronto choir singing one of their songs after the announcement about the singer being diagnosed with cancer. I checked out their videos and this Big Star cover was pretty good.

Come back, Regular Brian.

Wife:  I was thinking of taking the boys up to Minnesota before I start my new job (school let out yesterday), thinking of leaving Friday.

Me:  Sounds good, a little short notice for me to go along (go on phone looking for My Morning Jacket tickets, score singles at Red Rocks for the 28th and 29th.  Fist pump).

 

[Greek Freak]

Saw Joe Bonamossa last night at the Hampton casino last night. Great fucking show.

[Danny Duberstein]

Nice.

This week the San Francisco Zoo welcomed a trio of new residents in the form of three newly acquired Mexican wolves. The zoo honored three late musicians – Jerry Garcia, Prince and David Bowie – in naming the three brothers.

I assume the Garcia is because it’s San Fran, but also because of his guitar Wolf.

[Kevin]

I’ve got like 30 Ticketmaster vouchers from that class action lawsuit that I’m sure will be completely useless.
