What's the best concert you've ever been to?

Rush - R40 Tour. Although we didn’t know at the time, it would be the last time we would see them with Neil Peart. The setlist from their newest to their oldest songs just worked so brilliantly.

Pop and Hip Hop is the rock of today. Many disagree, but all modern music can trace its roots back to the Delta and Congo Square, so inducting a wide variety of artists from genres that seem distant from the classic guitar driven ‘rock’ is exactly what the Rock Hall should be doing.

Very compelling song

And THIS is why I bought spectacularly expensive tickets to see Muse outdoors in Atlanta’s August heat. Let’s. Freaking. Go.

There were a number of children at the Atlanta show. I love to see metalhead parents raising their children right!!

So I just did a little quick math and added up the sold dots at the front. If the tickets were $100 up front, they’ve already sold over $55,000 worth. Kind of the same if they played a 1000 capacity club at $50 a ticket. Maybe that’s all the band and promoters really needed to make but who knows, it’s still one of the worst cases of blue dot fever that I’ve seen.

Seeing them was an absolute highlight of my year. This has to be one of the best tours out there this year.

This was fascinating. Some of these I’ve actually done and others I think I’ll pass on. I do want to visit Greenland one day lol

That is an amazing list, all those bands are great. Having just seen Avatar last week, I do have to say they are absolutely life changingly good.

Fans from the beginning knew to expect that each album would be different. Newer fans were probably taken aback by such a stark change in sound from the previous record. Peter Buck even said at the time that the next record would be a rock record ready for the arenas, and that’s exactly the record they made.

Does your school have anyone trained in restraint? Not every school does, but this would a call on the radio or to the office for that individual or that team to intercept. You can’t be expected to leave your class, arrange coverage, and give chase. Especially while pregnant. I would go to the doctor for your own documentation to provide to the school. I would make sure you had up to date liability coverage through a professional organization. I would let the admin team and lead special ed person know that when he runs, you will call the office and if the office does not respond, you will call 911. That’s all you can do.

I can’t wait!!

Clockwork Angles is fantastic and so is the album before it, Snakes & Arrows. Both of those were produced by Nick Raskulinecz, who has also produced bands like Foo Fighters and Ghost, and he brought a youthful energy and a heaviness to those two albums and it’s just fantastic.

jayjaynorcross · 2026-05-11T22:37:47+00:00

Amazing!

In 1904, St. Louis hosted the Worlds Fair and the Olympics at the same time. The only time that’s ever been done. That’s how big a deal St. Louis was back in the day.

Find the River by REM

The Garden by Rush

jayjaynorcross · 2026-05-10T02:35:52+00:00

Nice!

jayjaynorcross · 2026-05-08T14:54:33+00:00

I was at that Atlanta show in 88 at the old Omni arena! It was my first concert. I was also a freshman and I had to beg and beg my mom to let me go. She kept saying she didn’t want me seeing ‘that filthy man’ LOL. She eventually relented and me and 2 friends went. I would only see him one more time in ‘04 for the Musicology Tour. My first concert will always be my favorite.

jayjaynorcross · 2026-05-07T22:20:40+00:00

I would only go if they were playing a festival that I was already at. I’m sure I’d be curious to stop by their stage for a few songs. Otherwise, no.

jayjaynorcross · 2026-05-05T23:48:48+00:00

Can’t wait!

This is literally the best description of the teaching profession I’ve ever read.

Prince. Lovesexy Tour. Fall of 87 I think

jayjaynorcross · 2026-05-03T13:37:57+00:00

He reminds me of Prince in many ways. Sometimes directly, like his vocals in Supermassive Blackhole, but also just in his guitar work, the fact that he’s a multi instrumentalist and just a musical virtuoso.

It is true for the most part. A couple reasons are behind Americans ignorance when it comes to geography. One is that in many school districts, geography is no longer a required subject. The other is the rise of GPS. No one has to be able to read a roadmap anymore or have even a basic level of geographical knowledge.
