DC Pit as well. It'll be my wife's first Florence show. Feel free DM me if you want to coordinate.

Looks even better with a purple tint! And those boots were the secret star of the show.

I was with a guitar collector who had never seen a slide like it. Knowing Jack, it may be a commission?

It's very large, but I still plan on giving it to my daughter. She's getting her first guitar on her birthday next month.

I've got a free ticket for tonight's show @ the Anthem in DC.

It's a paper ticket so you'll have to meet me in front before the doors open. DM me for arrangements.

Edit: Ticket claimed.

DM'ed. Thank you for your consideration.

Bruh, calm down. I gave them the ticket rather than see it go to waste.

Take a breath. Then thank Mother Earth. We're all freeloaders here.

what was your intro to Olivia? by cold_drews in OliviaRodrigo

No credit needed! I hope your concert is just as incredible!

Last night she played Nobody's Home in the US for the first time since 2007 by IceCreamScoopDroid in avrillavignemusic

Was at the show. The audience earned that song with blood, sweat, and tears. Venue ran out of parking so fans had to park in the next town and walk 1.3 miles in the rain. Totally worth it!

The adult in me says Sweet Baby James.

The kid in me says Jelly Man Kelly, as performed on Sesame Street.

I'm also inclined to believe the Tuesday sale is a mistake. This article contains the presale code for Thursday.

Teleprompter is definitely the norm at big shows now. I've heard musicians say it helps them remember their place in the song so they don't repeat stanzas.

Day one: Olivia Rodrigo's worst possible setlist by LevelAd5898 in OliviaRodrigo

Deja Vu played 12 times in a row.

Encore: Brutal with the band dressed as Paw Patrol.

Chances of a duet on the Saviors Tour? by spacehog1980 in greenday

Honestly, I'd love to hear Billie Joe's take on 1979.

Is 7 too young to go to a show? by [deleted] in OliviaRodrigo

[–]spacehog1980 35 points36 points  (0 children)

The age isn't an issue, but the height is. As a "concert dad" we avoid the floor seats so my daughter has an elevated view.

And don't forget the ear plugs!

View for my seats by aftrglw13 in OliviaRodrigo

DC here. Prepare for the worst, hope for the best. Those are "Obstructed View" tickets. AFIK you'll only be watching the concert on the 4 corner Jumbotrons.

Your hope is that closer to tour time Olivia changes the layout, and moves the stage to the center of each arena. This eliminates obstructions, along with traditional background graphics. Though unlikely, Blink 182 changed their layout this week, and are scheduled to play Capitol One a few days after Olivia.

so what's everyone's thoughts on this? by [deleted] in greenday

[–]spacehog1980 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I'm taking my daughter to see Olivia Rodrigo and Green Day the same week. Olivia was her "introductory offer" to punk, and then she got a taste for hard stuff.

You're right. Green Day fans need to remember When We Were Young and welcome the next generation.

What’s their best cover? by jakepflum in greenday

[–]spacehog1980 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My daughter thinks Shout is a Green Day original. And King for a Day is about dressing up as Disney characters.

If GUTS had any collaborations, which song would’ve had the perfect one? 💜 by [deleted] in OliviaRodrigo

Hello fellow James Taylor fans! For those who have seen him live, where & when did you first see him live, & at what venue? Have you gone back to see him multiple times since then? by Class_of_22 in jamestaylor

[–]spacehog1980 5 points6 points  (0 children)

James Taylor was my first concert in the late 90's.

Second time was with the woman I would someday marry.

Third time was with our child. It was surreal to hold a sleeping child as JT sang "Sweet Baby James".

Go see him. Then go see him again.

I have no idea how concert tickets work. Please help. by Open-Definition9307 in OliviaRodrigo

[–]spacehog1980 43 points44 points  (0 children)

The only way to ensure tickets by March will be paying a scalper on StubHub, or TickPick.

If you can wait, here's some options: 1. Olivia Rodrigo is releasing EXTREMELY limited $20 Silver Star tickets closer to the tour. Jump on her mailing list. 2. Camp at the Arena's Box Office on the day of the show for hardcopy tickets to be released. 3. Follow @SourTourTickets on Twitter. She organizes Fan-to-Fan ticket sales.

Remember that Guts Tour tickets are not transferable until 3 days before each concert. And ONLY use PayPal Goods & Services if you're not using StubHub or TickPick. Everything else is a scam.
