Manic Street Preachers and Suede are playing a co-headliner show in Chicago in November. I'm very tempted as MSP are one of my faves. Only thing holding me back is the thought of a Wednesday night show in Chicago. It's a 90 minute drive on a good night - 2 hours on a bad (and it's often bad in Chicago). If I was 20 years younger - I wouldn't even give it a second thought, but 45 year old WWK is a little more hesitant. What to do, what to do...
Hello,

Go.
I'm quickly coming around to it ;).

Need to pitch it to my better half, but thinking she'll recognize my excitement and get on board with the idea.

I bought the tickets. I'll figure out the logistics later on. The Manics always put on a great show.

Weakest moment was actually the spoken word portions of In Every Dream Home.

Also, our seats were in the nosebleeds, but upon arrival they upgraded everyone in our section. I think to fill up the lower bowl. We ended up in $200 seats behind the soundboard!?
Dream Home was my highlight! and Editions of You, of course.

I had a similar experience with the ticket, I'm glad I bought the cheapest ticket in the board ($7, $14 w/ fees) because everyone with a 200-section tik got moved to the 100 section. I had considered spending a bit more for a slightly better seat, but I would have been in the same spot, so lucked out on that one. SO they jammed all the 200s in the furthest 100s, so I collected my seat, then the next time I got up I saw that 3 seconds over was more than half empty so I moved even better with elbow room. The floor was at capacity though.

Went to see Ian Prowse last night in a town centre pub. Outstanding. Only downside was he chose to finish with Town Called Malice instead of London Calling.. However they played the full LC album after the show while meeting and greeting

Fantastic stuff. I only discovered Ian a few months back through a few mutual followers on twitter and have been catching up since, hope to catch him live at first opportunity.

I've seen one where he's asked his favourite supergroup and he replies with Mick, Paul, Topper and himself replacing Joe as lead singer! Had a good laugh at that. I'm a big fan of Liverpool as a city so love the passion he carries for it in many of his songs, but still got a lot more to listen to. He's coming my way in November so have to try and make that.

Solid choice. Also why are CJ opening for pennywise? Seriously.

I had tickets to this show. Haven't seen her since her first tour in 2008 (or 09?) so I was amped for this. I'm pretty bummed and curious what the full story is: https://pitchfork.com/news/santigold-ca ... ican-tour/
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

It was rather annoying. Pennywise fans with their back to the stage talking to each other during the CJ set too

How many of them were wearing baseball caps? The fans, Im pretty sure its mandatory for the band itself.

I've seen Pennywise twice. They put on a decent enough show for what they are (which is to say, pretty mediocre punk played pretty well). Neither time were they the headliner though, excepting for a general tendency to stick out any music I've paid for no matter how bad, I don't think I'd stick around for them if there weren't other acts on the bill coming up later.

Addendum: both times there was a weird mix of punk rock. Circle Jerks/Pennywise this summer (as part of Punk in Drublic) and years ago they were on a bill with Stiff Little Fingers. On that one it was SLF that stuck out like a sore thumb - the headliner was The Offspring (playing Smash, that show slayed).
