The Live Music Thread

[grawk]

I picked up tickets to see Los Lobos and X at the Ryman this fall.  Unless I sneak to some show there before then, it'll be my first trip to the church of country music (and to see a punk band, no less)

It’s such a cool venue.

Tonight's Culture 

This one goes to 11

It's a lot easier to follow in English.

Quite the performance.

The Go-Gos played the Warfield Theater in San Francisco last night.  Kathy Valentine posted these shots to her Bluesky account:

Sturgill Simpson in Knoxville. This is a fantastic show.

Last night we saw Simple Minds....super show.  Really impressed with how strong Jim Kerr's voice still is and how good a shape the gent is in.  

Modern English was the first act and did a great job.  

Soft Cell, unfortunately, was a bit of a disappointment.  Can't help but wonder if they need a better sound engineer.

Overall, great show and nice to run into some old friends.

Make some noise, Walnut Creek!

Walnut Creek Art and Wine Festival part 1 with Pride and Joy (SF).

We managed to set up on a slope, with a view overlooking the east stage, shade, and the odd waft of Jazz Cigarettes.

The crowd are on their feet, getting on down.

Interesting view the other way.

Are we alive, Walnut Creek?

Part Deux, it's 4/4 time with Neon Velvet.

I can neither confirm nor deny if there was any getting on down.

The Band were down with post gig selfies.

And a Chauffeur driven ride, to and from the venue. This is Walnut Creek, after all.
