Let the music play - new Concert Reviews/Experiences

[Ope3]

Just got tickets to see Shannon and Narducy play Life's Rich pageant in March.

Should be well worth it. Same backing crew that was here for Fables.

 

[Full Speed Ahead]

Last Friday I went to see Durry at First Ave. It's the kickoff of their new "This Movie Sucks" tour, this time mostly staying in the U.S. (a few stops in Canada). I've been following these folks over the years, from "Marah and Mainsail" to "Coyote Kid" to now "Durry". They've slogged through a lot of "hope we have enough money to buy gas to get us to the next show" deals to now selling out pretty decent venues (BTW, I may be getting old but a sold out show at First Ave is too many people - not sure how FIrst Ave gets fire code permission to pack that many people in a building). Nice to see another Minnesota band (they're from Lakeville - brother and sister on guitars and vocals, his wife on bass, and a friend on drums) making it on the concert tour scene. Do catch their show if they come to your town.

I don't have tickets yet as I was waiting for the Rutgers game time to be announced. I still want to though. I'm still working out if I like the new album or not. Soooooo different than previous ones.

It's good. Not nearly as good as 'Blue Weekend'.

Gophers play at 11 according to ESPN.

You aren't alone. It's the exact reason why I've been passing on shows at First Avenue recently. It's been too packed to even enjoy the show the last few times I've been there. The Fillmore and The Armory are WAY better venues to see shows, imo.

Sounds great at the Bank.

So far at the Bank, the most impressive to me has been Lukas Nelson. Playing to the crowd with a Neil Young cover, Unknown Legend, helped his cause.



Local boys, Trampled by Turtles were also quite the crowd pleasers.
