Concert you want to see - 2025

Heading to B52s and Devo shortly.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Anyone else catch David Byrne last night at Oakdale? Fantastic multi-media show and the band was fire. Two hours flew by.

I know I should wait for the 2026 version of this thread, but I just bought two tickets to see Rush in Chicago next July. Probably my favorite band ever. I've seen them a couple of times before and never thought I'd get a chance to see them perform again. Tickets were crazy expensive, but I'm psyched to be going.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Jeff Tweedy was fantastic last night in Norwalk. I really like his new album and most of the set centered around the new stuff. One of the best shows I’ve seen at that theater.

Psychedelic Furs and opener Gary Numan. Gary was loud, almost industrial rock. Furs were polished and very good.

I had no idea the P-Furs were still performing. I used to do a killer Richard Butler back in the 80s karaoke era. I imagine Butler's voice is fine since he only had a one octave range to begin with, lol. I understand he's lived in CT for years.

Seen the Furs multiple times in my life, including recently. They are as good as ever.

Tried for Rush pre-sale this morning with Citi Bank account, never seen tickets disappearing so fast right in front of my eyes (didn't get any, so will have to wait for the regular sale in a week)

I live in San Jose and had originally bought tickets to see them in Chicago. Then they announced shows in San Jose, so I just bought those via the artist Pre-sale. Now I have to unload my Chicago seats. I'm super excited, but have to keep reminding myself that the show isn't for another year.

Are they playing at the SAP Center/Shark Tank? Never went to a concert there for some reason. Saw a few at Shoreline.

You are correct, they'll be at the SAP Center. I haven't seen many shows there as many of the big acts play at Shoreline, which is where I saw The Who last month.

 

[Kolumbo]

Stevie is 77 years old. Just amazing

 

[Waquoit]

If you like a fun show I can't recommend Los Straitjackets highly enough. They're 4 luchadors who play surf music. All great musicians, especially the drummer. They close with an awesome rendition of Sing, Sing, Sing!

If there are any Built to Spill fans out there they're going to be in Fairfield in mid-December. I saw them in LA last weekend and Doug sounds as good as ever. It's a stripped down three piece lineup with Doug, a girl on bass and a girl drumming and they still rip. We got a great set list with a five song encore. Just an incredible band.
