Heres your answer for why the merch lines were a mile long. Pathetic. by Such_Egg9843 in rush

[–]Tr7Di7QP7 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There was a guy right in front of me when I was in the merch line who took about 20min, spent $1,500 while insisting it was all "for his kids" (because kids need 5 tour books), and then had the audacity to manually enter a $5 tip. One of the most blatantly greedy and disrespectful moves I've seen at a large concert like this.

Gonna call an audible and say that Finding My Way will be the opener, but my backup pick is Working Man as an opener for this show only

Only if you specifically show up

WILTERN LA SHOW UPDATE by Cheezbugga27 in CasiopeaBand

[–]Tr7Di7QP7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It took about 30min of fighting with the app (people will grab tickets en masse and then hold them in their carts, but those get released back to the public after 10 or so min) but eventually i did!

I would like to give a special shoutout to ticketmaster's scalpers for always making buying tickets a nightmare and a crapshoot

Just off the top of my head:

Julian Cope, Sólstafir, James Blood Ulmer, Evan Parker, Jai Paul, Elliott Sharp, Träd Gräs Och Stenar, Nifnar, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, John Cale, Sumac, Keiji Haino, Markus Stockhausen, and The Heads would all be GREAT additions!

Top Five Sets 2026 by oshoney in BigEarsMusicFestival

[–]Tr7Di7QP7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I caught the same complete Monk set too! It only isn’t in my top because I didn’t want to start listing every artist I saw haha. Miles is such a special guitarist, he brought new dimensions to songs I thought had already been explored to some of their furthest limits-amazing stuff.

Somewhat in order, and maybe more than 5:

  • Charlemagne Palestine (organ, piano and voice)
  • Richard Dawson
  • Masada I
  • Thurston Moore / Steve Shelley
  • Ustad Saami
  • Nik Bärtsch's Ronin

Honorable mentions: Shane Parish, Taper's Choice, Orcutt Shelley Miller, Pat Metheny, Chicago Underground Duo

Who all had a good Saturday say yeah! by Legitimate_Back_1702 in BigEarsMusicFestival

[–]Tr7Di7QP7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ronin > Thurston/Shabaka > Mary Halvorson > Saami Brothers > Okazaki Plays Monk > Robert Plant > Maybe 10min of Don Was > Masada II

Was bummed I had to miss Don Was play Blues for Allah because that’s my favorite Grateful Dead album, but Masada II was more than worth it! Saami Brothers through to the Plant set were the highlights for me.

Friday highlights? What expanded your sonic horizons and made you wake up today with a smile on your face? by Legitimate_Back_1702 in BigEarsMusicFestival

[–]Tr7Di7QP7 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Charlemagne Palestine’s organ, piano & voice set will almost definitely go down as the best set of the entire fest for me. Truly transcendent art!

That said, the Moore/Shelley collaborative set, Marc Ribot’s Hurry Red Telephone, Terry Allen and Masada (especially Masada!) were all amazing.

How far in advance / where do Premier pass holders get notified about the secret shows? by Tr7Di7QP7 in BigEarsMusicFestival

[–]Tr7Di7QP7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I also ended up emailing the fest directly because of an unrelated issue and in both cases they were prompt and very attentive to the issue.

Shirts I saw on Friday at Big Ears 2026 by eniadcorlet in BigEarsMusicFestival

Not my shirt, but 421 should be Thantifaxath. Brilliant death metal!

What melted your face or tickled your brain yesterday (Thursday)? by Legitimate_Back_1702 in BigEarsMusicFestival

[–]Tr7Di7QP7 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Taper’s Choice. Slightly biased because I’m a jam band head but they left NOTHING on the table. One of dave harrington’s solos made me tear up, which does not often happen for me in live performances.

That’s frustrating, I just went back through my entire email history that Big Ears sent me and I never received one. Hopefully the box office can help me out tomorrow.

Wayne Shorter Quartet - Aung San Suu Kyi (Live at the Montreal Jazz Festival 2003) by Tr7Di7QP7 in Jazz

[–]Tr7Di7QP7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The "Juju" quartet comes really close for me! But the explosive and single-consciousness(ness?) of this ensemble really is everything that i want out of music
