Tix Part Trois


It is Friday and that means it is time for another edition of RTS' tix. If you are tired of this segment now, you are in trouble because I can run this for 6 months. This is the second to last page of concert tickets and the last one does not have that much. These are not in chronological order. Starting at the top left and ending with the one where the ink has completely faded:

Dylan and The Dead Dylan played with the Dead during their set making The Dead bearable.

Prince with Morris Day and the Time Great show. What helped justify a $77 ticket price? Free copies of his new CD when we went in. Nice touch.

Pixies, night 1 The only time I have seen a band both nights they were in town for a tour. Totally worth it too. I saw them a 3rd time when they came through town again.

Pixies, night 2

Soul Asylum and Gin Blossoms There was no one there, it was raining and Soul Asylum did not play an encore. It was nice to see that an encore is not obligatory. It would have been kind of sad if they had. People were clearly there to see the Gin Blossoms, who went on first. I wanted a Jagermeister Soul Asylum shirt ( To wear at Talladega not to wear in the Cul-De-Sac) but they were not selling SA shirts at all. Tommy Stinson was on bass.

Basilica Block Party, Soul Asylum was definitely there and I think Midnight Oil was the other headliner.

Bob Dylan and Phil Lesh Phil Lesh was so boring.

Bob Dylan Love and Theft Tour

Cake, Modest Mouse, The Flaming Lips and De La Soul Cake and Modest Mouse where great. The Flaming Lips played scenes from Battle Royale on the screen behind them during the show. De La Soul was disappointing, I guess they did not feel as I did that their set should be made of only songs from 1989.
