When?

 

No idea, he tweeted a picture of the cover art about a week ago. It says "presented by Gangsta Grillz", so I am guessing that means it will be less Because The Internet, and more Royalty.

So U2's latest album is free on iTunes. One listen through and nothing stands out (maybe the first song is the strongest single). Sometimes it takes a few listens, but it mostly sounds like something that would be in the background in a movie.

Or free with the announcement of a new phone. :lol:

New Childish Gambino mixtape came out today....Oooof. Only heard the first 11 so far, but outside of the stupid DJ voiceovers, it's pretty great. I'm going to edit out all the talking and DJ screaming, and it will be great.

Just need to listen to the Kauai side now.

Fleetwood Mac was really good on Friday night. Christine McVie in particular - looked and sounded great for a 71-year-old making her return to the stage after a prolonged absence. You kind of forget how many hits they had. All in all, a fun night, other than having to endure the 4 drunk bimbos in front of us who wouldn't shut up - thank goodness they were a little to our right so their drunken "dancing" wasn't directly in front of us. The poor couple next to us left early because they didn't want to deal with it anymore.

looking forward to Nas this Friday in Hammond, anybody else going?

Someone finally figured out Childish Gambino's secret track from 10 months ago. Although to be fair, i think you may have needed this new mixtape to do it.

 

Either way, someone on Reddit who knows how to code figured it out.

Every time I end up trying to get tickets for a big event I'm amazed at how stupid the ticket purchase websites are. Standing in line at a local nordstrom ticketmaster booth was time consuming and dumb, but it was at least fair. Not having the web site work for 98% of the people who visit at all is just stupid.

Seeing Gaslight Anthem tonight. Stoked.

 

Cory Branan and Against Me! are opening too, should be real good.

Pearl Jam played No Code Friday and Yield Monday in their entirety during their concerts. Not a big No Code fan but love Yield would have been cool to see.

I was lucky enough to be there Monday night. Other than Eddie Vedder wearing a Packers jersey, it was a great night.

I saw the Pearl Jam Cincy show and was blown away by how long they played...3 hrs! Still as good as when I saw them the first time in '92.

Foos at Wrigley 8/29/15.

 

Anyone seen a concert there? Is it any worse than any other outdoor stadium? I suppose the new video board can only help.

Never seen a concert there but definitely going to try today to get tix. Saw them when I was at SIU and was a blast.

I saw Paul McCartney and Bruce Springsteen there.

 

Sound was fine, but Wrigley is really hard to move around in when it's totally filled up with people.

I was at that show. A little known three piece band named Muse opened up. To be completely honest, I was ready to leave when the Chili Peppers took the stage, Foo Fighters blew them away

 

The fact that Cheap Trick and Naked Raygun are opening up at Wrigley is tremendous, That show is going to be awesome. I watched "Foo Fighters Sonic Highways" the other day and it was really awesome, i loved the respect towards those bands, Steve Albini, and Chicago

Finally got in but it looks like it's sold out :(

I went to Milwaukee, but I had Moline slip right through my fingers at checkout (ticketmaster). It was very painful for me to see what I missed on setlist.fm afterwards. No Code and Yield are my favorite of their catalog, so I'm glad to have been present for at least one of them.

Cheap Trick

 

I don't have anything against Cheap Trick, but I've probably seen them 5 or 6 times at this point purely by way of them happening to be an opener for the band that I'm there to see. I just about sat down when Eddie Vedder announced that "an Illinois legend" would be joining them for a song this past Monday at Milwaukee and it ended up being Rick Nielsen. It was an

, and it kick-started a show that started off a bit slow, but I'm starting to worry that Cheap Trick is going to pop out of my radio while I'm driving one of these days.

Sounds fine. Only one stand that serves beer that's not garbage, which means waiting in line 30 minutes for an IPA or Shock Top.

I got 4.

 

Think the ones on Monday will probably just be the upper deck.

I've never actually been to Wrigley as far as I can remember. Would that be worth it?

I've been to a couple is sox games there. It's a dump. I'd think that even if I didn't hate them. I don't get the love.

 

But Foo is my favorite band for the past decade at least so I'm in.

As someone who doesn't hate the Cubs, but has been to Wrigley a few times, it IS a dump. I've sat everywhere but behind home or in the bleachers. Even as far as skyboxes go, it was barely luxurious. As opposed to a Sox game where the skybox level is on it's own level with very nice hallways and bathrooms and lounge areas, the Cubs skyboxes come out to a catwalk above the other ramps where the 100 level people are. The box itself was very small. I think it only had 10 seats opposed to 15 at The Cell. It was pretty forgettable.
