I suffer panic attacks - and that is what a panic attack sounds like. 48hrs is still a big deal with that kind of heat - other than sitting in a tub of water, it can be dangerous. And then the roof (been there as well), losing food, trapped - it makes sense. Kiss version sounds better, by a mile.

Glsd that I found this. I somehow came onto this site and instantly recognized your voice from the radio show (which I love). I was very bummed though to find out that I missed Die Spitz play right down the street from me. I have been wanting to see them ever since I found out about them a couple of years ago. That one totally escaped me even though I do remember when Amyl & the Sniffers were playing. My loss! Glad to hear they were good. Also I always like to hear Aimee Mann mentioned, a personal favorite. Very glad to hear that you hate Trump.

Loved hearing the Stage Manager stories/point of view. Impressive that Stephen and Wayne were there so early setting up. So cool you finally got to see Buffalo Tom! No date here (yet?)...just checked. Those clips sure sound good. Flaming Lips...need to see them again. Always so much fun.

You should do a video about "Paula Peirce" in the Pandora's. I met her and the Band when they came to Butte Montana back in the 90's really cool people to hang out with. We all Partied at the "Midtown Bar and Cafe" when they came here. They where not just average drinkers wow they could drink. Paula Died, I'm not sure what from, but she was a great person. I also met Kim, and Melanie, excellent music. I have both the CD and the Tape of "Rock Hard" by the Pandora's which now is very, very, rare.

I am dying to hear what you thought about seeing Buffalo Tom for the first time at the Outlandia festival. I have been a fan since the 90's and I am lucky enough to live near Boston so I have been able to see them over 20 times through the years!

They're every bit as good as they were in the day.

Crazy how the light screen looks like a fence when it's off. Buffalo Tom sounded great from the clips.

Wow, that must have been awesome. The Simpsons does it again! I can't imagine that concert. Congrats on the Phil Collins 🙂

Van Hagar sold more albums because they added sappy ballads and love songs that attracted a larger female audience at the time.

I always thought “I Love You Honey But I Hate Your Friends” would have been a good cover for Aerosmith to do.

It's too bad you guys discovered or first saw Cheap Trick in the 90's. Although they were back on top due to Lap of Luxury in 1988, and then they had their self titled album in 97. But i first saw them when they were still kind of unknown in 1977 opening up for KISS on part of the Can-Am tour. Because during this time period they opened up for Queen & KISS they became huge in Japan. After the US release of Live at Budokan in 1979, they became headline stars in the States and around the world. That in my opinion was the best time to listen to Cheap Trick and to see them live. I've seen them live around 25 times and they always put on a great & fun show!!!!!! 👍🎸

That portable power station is nice Dave. Glad you are OK. Forty eight hours without power is no joke. I know how tough it gets when you lose power. Especially in the heat of the endless summers. I was bummed to hear that Steven's vocal chords are still trying to heal. I am sure that they will be back to do a few smaller shows eventually. Maybe do some intimate seating mostly unplugged. Anyways. Always good to catch up with you D~ Rob/Boston

I’m so glad you’re ok. That sounds awful. Makes me very thankful to be in a somewhat moderate climate and AC. Even around here it can get very hot sometimes and few people actually have it. Looks like you saw some fun shows though. I had always heard about Adams writing some Kiss songs. Never knew which ones. Saw him in 85 as well…first concert. Reckless is a pretty good pop record. Or maybe it’s all nostalgia.

For me it was over when Billy starting sitting on a stool.

Die Spitz was supposed to open for Sleater Kinney the other day. But SK cancelled. Luckily (for me) Amyl and the Sniffers had them open up for their show a couple days later.

Was the food truck busy?

I heard you have suffered some damage due to the recent storm. Take care brother.

July 25, 2024 - ADKOT is available on Spotify. Just listened to a few tune. Tattoo is a decent enough song.

Love the video and the listing for most of it I agree. Personally I have a different order. I think it comes down to when you got introduced to BT and a feel of nostaligia perhaps. I’m from the Netherlands and they were not popular at all back here. So you had to find your ways to get to these bands. For me the top 3 would be reflecting my high school period: 1Let me come over, 2Big red letter day and 3Sleepy eyed. All these albums have a kind of energy, an impulsiveness, a bit erratic and straightforwardness. Perhaps just like when in high school, life was easy. Smitten came out when i was studying. At the time I was a bit disappointed but it grew on me as I grew older. Although I like their later work i do think it sounds more “settled” or consolidated, like all of us ;) Thank you and Cheers!

That looks like a fun festival. There used to be a festival like that in Birmingham AL that had only female fronted bands, but it got canceled after covid. You'll be fine at Outlandia. Just make sure to drink plenty of water.

I just saw Flaming Lips last night. It was beautiful outside (except for a very few sprinkles).

I'll have to track down the new X album. I enjoyed the clips!

Saw them in 82 in Madison WI w The Replacements open. Going to show in Boston soon.

I dig your channel similar taste in music. First time I saw X was in 84 at The Living Room in Providence, R.I. it was an amazing show and I’ve seen them numerous times in the 40 years since. Not many bands from that time are still at it or sound as good as X does from these clips. Glad I picked up tickets for the Boston show in October and I’ll also possibly be seeing their last show on Little Steven’s Underground Garage Cruise next May.

Reach for the sky still holds up ok. I dig about 5 songs , maybe 6. So it was a worthy purchase.

I flew up from Texas to see the Kansas City show... my 218th time to see them since 1981. There is no way that I'll miss the last show in Charlotte. Exene has stated that although this is the final tour, there's no reason that we shouldn't expect one-off shows in SoCal. I'd also love to see them tour with Jesse Dayton on guitar again. He filled in for Billy while he was out on sick leave and the show i traveled to see in Lawrence, KS was just about the best X show I'd seen since 2000. Oh, and X has only done 4th of July once with Billy Zoom on guitar... at The Hootenanny Fest, July 5th 2002 in Mountain View, CA. I chatted with Exene afterwards and she said that it was Billy's idea and she was very proud of him for doing it but that they were also quite nervous how the fans would react. Reaction? It was a bunch of folks with dropped jaws which turned into Joker-esque shit eating grins. An absolute highlight.

Still in good form!

New sub here! Thank you for your input and commentary on The Acolyte. I don’t understand why people can’t just watch a series and enjoy it without all of the negativity. I really enjoyed the concepts explored in the Acolyte. I’m going it gets renewed because it’s the best series thus far. We are getting new characters and exploration of the Sith and the fall of the Jedi Order. This is what we have been asking for from SW! I don’t understand the hate. It’s sad and troubling.

is your copy on colored vinyl or black ?

You don't know punk if you don't know about X ... run don't walk to see them in concert ❤🎉😊

I consider X to be the US version of the UK's The Damned in many ways, and I am a huuuuuuuuuuuuge fan of The Damned. US punks dont really know how to treat them, but at the time of the filming of the Decline of Western Civ, they were the most successful and known. But, like The Damned, people forget them when talking about the LA scene. even though they were a major part of it. Christ, even the Germs are bigger now, and tb frank, they were shit.

Baseball project played at a small venue here a few months ago but I couldn't go. I didn't know they did all baseball songs. That's fun. Half price books is a great place for cheap CDs. I always have good stuff there for cheap.

Seeing Buck and Mills walking around the waiting room was surreal. REM is my favorite group who I never got to see, this was one of the greatest nights of my life

I’ve never seen the Baseball Project or Mike Mills outside of R.E.M., but I’ve seen Peter Buck several times (Minus 5, Robyn Hitchcock). He’s the coolest, still doing what he loves most. Just getting out and playing with his friends. On their Minneapolis stop they honored Laurie by having Coleen join them onstage to sing a ZuZu’s Petals song. Love seeing your black cats. Our black girl is pretty camera shy, but our orange boy seems like he’s game for an appearance sometime.

Always loved Baseball Project Not just a Fair Weather Fan

I saw Kim in the 80's when The Pandoras rocked my world!

Saw them 30 years ago at McCabes in SM. They did an acoustic show. My GF who had never heard them before thought it was the darkest music she'd ever experienced. Twelve hours later the Northridge Quake hit.

Love all of those clips. I saw them a few years ago in Oakland and loved every minute of it. Couldn’t believe how good they were. They played here recently (didn’t go) and I thought they weren’t coming through on this final tour. But I checked after watching this and they’re playing a festival in Olympia. So I have another chance to see them after all.

Man that looks like an awesome show. I gotta get tickets for it. I met John Doe once during his book signing. He's such a nice guy.

Saw X at Gazzaris in 81 i think it was,, had been at the Hollywood bowl earlier that evening seeing Chick Correa and Al Dimeola,,,,seen em a few times since. Was a Billy Zoom fan as a beginner guitar player.Wondering if Politics didn't break them up,,,

Hey Dave, did you catch the press release for The Average Album vinyl pre-order? Sounds like it’s a limited run of 300.

This looked like a legit concert Im going to check out their tour schedule Damn ! Just checked they play Town Hall in NYC Great Band absolutely wrong venue I don’t want to sit at an X show Have you ever had a venue / artist mismatch that you just cant get over ?

X is coming to my city in September (we don't get a lot of good bands). However I have tix for PJ Harvey out of town the same night. Fortunately I saw X a few years ago. They were great then.

Now in my 50's I finally love X. I tried when I was young. It wasn't for me then. I'm glad I didn't give up on them.

Daltrey doing Pete solo tunes is interesting. He seems to blame him for those bad early 80s Who albums, saying he stole all the good material for his solo records. Playlist idea is cool. I’ve thought about doing something similar. Didn’t realize you did that in the past.

I was never really into subscribing to fanzines way back when BUT I do remember hearing about yours. I was more into tape trading of live shows/pen pals(remember those? lol). Anyways. Cool video, and rock on!

Stealing a golf cart. Some people! Glad you recovered it quickly. I always had it on my list to watch Orphan Black, but I never did get around to watching it.

Cool episode. Thank you!

I am very interested in finding a video for the entire modest mouse show! Even audio would be sufficient. Could you help point me in the right direction please??

I haven't watched the Acolyte, but if I do, I will have to watch your video. I still haven't heard the McCartney album. I have no clever titles...
