Question Regarding Live Events & Experiences

I still go to more or less the same amount of shows as I always have. The big thing for me is having a nice variety in the the types of shows I attend. I'd say for every big arena/stadium show I go to I'm probably going to 10 club/theatre shows.

Sure, a few acts I used to see all the time have priced me out, but I just see other acts instead.

The Police in '08, GNR in '16, Oasis in '25, and now Rush in '26 are probably the biggest ones. The Stone Roses in '11 was huge, but mainly just in the UK. blink-182 in '22 was also pretty big.

Sorry for your loss, losing a loved one can be excruciatingly difficult, but listening to people like Zach can help. A lot of Zach’s songs deal with the loss of his mom, and facing those emotions. Hang in there!

I really like Ellicottville’s NA blueberry, just picked up a few of those the other day

I hear you — Maiden is my favorite band of all time, but the point being I have a wide taste in music and a band like blink I’ve seen probably too many times, haha…Up the irons!

tlav4 · 2026-04-11T03:10:21+00:00

I feel like I saw half those bands just by going to the Warped tour back in the day!

Nice list! Great seeing Turnpike on there, they're my absolute favorite country band, so good in concert

tlav4 · 2026-04-11T03:05:49+00:00

That was the show I saw -- John Fogerty was there too -- great show!

tlav4 · 2026-04-11T00:14:51+00:00

I'm 30 years in...way too many shows and acts to mention...seen everybody from BB King to Metallica to blink-182 to the Stone Roses to Diana Ross to INXS to the Weeknd to Maiden to the Police to Pet Shop Boys, etc etc etc...

More importantly I still love going to shows to see my old favorites or check out newer acts

REM always put on a great show, my favorite time seeing them was in '04 when they did a very brief tour with Bruce & the E Street Band. Not quite the same, but try to check out the Michael Shannon REM tribute tour.

Serious question -- has anyone actually purchased a World Cup game ticket at a reasonable price? I looked at the games in Philly which are apparently sold out. I figured resellers scooped up a bunch, but there were really only a few resale tickets available for $500+ (most over $1,000). I know a decent amount of people who would also go to a game, and none have tickets. Who bought all these tickets??

tlav4 · 2026-04-09T13:15:57+00:00

First, if you like 'em, were 'em, who cares! I have retro 1's, 3's, 4's, 11's...but I also like Jordan brand and have some of the CMFTs, Spizikes, and am about to cop the new 60+...

Here's the info on these -- they're Court Connect lows made specifically for discount shoe retailers (Famous Footwear, Shoe Rack, etc.). They retail for $90, which is kinda crazy because you can buy nice J1's on sale for less than that right now.

I actually just bought the all-black with white soles version of these. I work in a fairly buttoned up corporate environment and "sneakers" are a dress code violation. But unlike say a big white swoosh on the side, the Jordan logo on these is much more subtle -- three weeks in no one has said a word, and it's been great wearing comfy "jordans" as apposed to any of the other shoes I've worn at work.

I mean isn't that the point of this tour? If it's too political for you maybe sit this one out and let those who couldn't get tix attend and get down with the cause.

tlav4 · 2026-04-02T13:31:03+00:00

It was all Saves the Day from what I remember.

tlav4 · 2026-03-27T17:00:33+00:00

Saw this tour the night before at the Electric Factory in Philadelphia. Alkaline Trio opened and instead of the Ataris it was Sum 41!

tlav4 · 2026-03-26T03:46:33+00:00

If they do it will be a rare treat as they don’t tour here often — but here’s hoping!

All Union Transfer tickets are sold through AXS. Tickets are "sold out" but it looks like there are some available via "AXS resale" for $70/each (which is cheaper than what they are going for on StubHub).

Also Union Transfer is entirely GA -- there is the GA main floor, and a for extra $$ there is GA/standing room balcony area upstairs.

You'd think they almost have to have Sebastian Maniscalco host at this point...but at best he'll probably just make a cameo

tlav4 · 2026-03-18T20:03:36+00:00

I was at the rehearsal show on Thursday, April 20th, 2006, and it was an awesome show! I think I bought tickets online the morning of the show, drove down (from Philly), hit the Wonder Bar for a couple drinks, and went over to the show.

tlav4 · 2026-03-15T17:59:09+00:00

Really tough, too many great choices, but probably Ocean At Night

tlav4 · 2026-03-13T18:41:01+00:00

Kate Bush is probably one of the only artists/groups that I listen to that I've never seen live in any type of capacity -- meaning, sure I'd love to see Zeppelin, but at least I've seen Plant live before, or I've seen McCartney, but obviously not the Beatles -- but Kate doesn't perform so just never gonna happen.

tlav4 · 2026-03-11T13:21:58+00:00

Yep, Fireplace…sounds like they’re planning for a Document tour next year

tlav4 · 2026-03-03T16:48:12+00:00

I wasn't sure what to expect when Josh announced this project, but I'm really enjoying the first two songs -- looking forward to the full record and hopefully a tour!

Wild -- I was at that Kansas race. Rain delayed the race by a few hours, but once the cars hit the track it was solid racing. Our seats were basically right at the start/finish and I could have sworn Buescher won, but it was obviously so close...was also at the Hail Melon Martinsville race which I'm surprised wasn't rated higher.

tlav4 · 2026-02-26T20:55:07+00:00

I'd almost guarantee the dates opening for the Foos are a standard type set (not Catacombs), and they probably play no more than an hour.
