Saw Leprous for the 1st time last night and they surpassed my expectations! Rocked harder and the band really jumped around during those parts.
Great audience participation.
Said this was their 1st time headlining in Houston!
Sadly, my favorite song Alleviate wasn't played.

Only one song from Bilateral is criminal, but I’m glad it was Forced Entry. Maybe I’m in the minority but I really liked their first few albums and haven’t loved the direction they’ve gone in since.

Glad you had fun. How is their latest album?

Except for the opening track (which to me sounds like club music), love the new lp.
But more importantly, the new songs were great live.
Keep in mind though that I am a new fan so not knowledge enough yet to compare old to new yet

I do like some of their newer stuff. The Sky is Red is great, and The Weight of Disaster may have one of the catchiest choruses I’ve ever heard.

What of their older stuff have you heard?
 
Saw David Gilmour at the Hollywood Bowl on 10/29. Was never really a Pink Floyd fan, but I know almost all of those songs through osmosis, and his solo stuff was accessible and digestible for a first timer. Loved his smooth-as-butter guitar work, and the light show got pretty impressive over the course of the evening. Good times.
 
Drove the family to Austin to see the band Kansas last weekend.
Really impressive.
Every member did great!
50th anniversary tour!


Love when this song kicks in about 4:00 mark

2024 has been excellent concert wise
Previously posted about:
  • Judas Priest, Saxon & Uriah Heep - Happened to be in London for a work trip they played my last night there.
  • Foreigner
  • Pearl Jam
  • Billy Joel w/ Jason Bonham
  • The Rolling Stones
Since then:
Saw the Austrailian Pink Floyd show, overall a cool show, I wish they had just played all of Dark Side of the Moon and dropped an instrumental or two but the show was great. Day of I bought a ticket to see Robert Plant & Alison Krauss which was a shift from the rock theme for some bluegrass which was a really good show, their version of "Rock and Roll" was a highlight as was "When the Levee Breaks". The summer rounded off with Metallica (Friday night with Mammoth WVH and Pantera), I quite enjoyed Wolfie and Metallica, Pantera I could do without. That aside Metallica's show while really cool in concept made the set feel a little uneven due to the no repeat weekend. I wish I could have heard more of their "hits".

Fall started off with P!nk with my mom, the show was excellent and quite entertaining. Rocktober started with Evanescence, Halestorm and the Warning, which was an unbelievably good concert. Evanescence sounded excellent and Amy's voice was top notch. I found it really cool how many new songs were played yet the show felt really balanced. Halestorm had ear moniter issues but Lzzy did a great job and the Warning showed their chops real well, I hope they come through again on their own. Then Iron Maiden (while catching half of The Hu) was excellent although the 6+ hours was fairly tiring. Roctober ended with W.A.S.P. and Armored Saint which was a pretty solid show overall, Blackie definetely has the chops but also gets a fair bit of help throughout the show.

Coming Up:
Springsteen
Myles Kennedy
 
Things have been pretty quiet in the concert front since the couple of Manic Street Preachers gigs I went to in July, but a couple of weeks ago I went to see a very entertaining show by The Ramonas (no prizes given for guessing which band they pay tribute to) and yesterday I had a great time seeing The Cult on their 40th anniversary tour:


It was nice to get a good selection of tunes from all their career instead of just material up to 1992.
 
Saw Yngwie Malmsteen last night on his 40th anniversary tour.
Had a good time but was surprised most of the songs he played were shortened down to intro, 1st verse, chorus, solo. Guess that's how he fit so many songs in 90 minute set.
