ARGGHHHHH sounded fine on my laptop speakers but there is some underlying static, and I have new microphones the exact same kind but didn't have a chance to sufficiently test them to feel confident using them in this environment. Oh well.

Okay I had a ticket see Jesus Jones at the 100 Club in London and wanted to go see a Suede show and even tried to contact every taper I knew here without any luck, tho I think a different show is coming along soon.

So between that, still holding over a year's concert budget and wanting to catch the last 2 shows of the tour, the ticket prices weren't quite the hinderance as they usually would be.

And I was able to experience an adventure that almost matched the 2013 rehearsals (recounted here)

https://ijwthstd.webs.com/rs.txt

But this one required some mercenary tactics and blowing apart any "fan code," none of which I ever really subscribed to (I mean I didn't sell this, I actually put up the raw wave as soon as I got back to the hotel).

This one was a sold out show in a 7000 seater where most tickets ranged from 600 to 1000$ yet a huge chunk actually sold or resold for much more. Now I did think, or hope, that the resale market would peak and decline like has happened with just about every show I tracked this year, and there were indications it may be happening but by the time I got to Austin I realized I had seriously misjudged. But the sunk costs were already spent and I just had to do my best and hope for the best.

Got there really early for lunch with friends.

Then hit the casino floor hard while constantly checking online and getting really nervous about the skyrocketing prices and dwindling supply.

Ended up finding someone with some really underpriced seats. Not what I wanted but knew it would be a grevious error to let them go. And he wanted to keep both of them together. Forked over the cash, got the tickets into my TM account and broadcast to the online marketplaces at a more appropriate price while I thought about what I wanted to do and kept looking for the seat I wanted.

They sold immediately. And at a still too low of a price as they just kept going up. And I still needed a ticket.

I realize I might have screwed myself out of a show but kept plugging away. Found someone with a 300 level single at a ridiculous price. I didn't really want to sit there but went ahead and bought it and this time held on to it while I kept looking for something lower. But the doors were open with the fans filing in and any opportunities fading.

Then I did the math in my head and factoring in the other pair, my current out of pocket cost was a measly $100. I had enjoyed plenty of shows from the cheap seats and just because it's the most expensive Stones show ever, it doesn't have to be MY most expensive show.

So I decided to just go in and enjoy the show, now riding the most intense natural high in years. Early in the show when suddenly they were doing YCAGWY as the 5th song I just knew they skipped 2 and it was going to be the shortest headline show since 1978. Hahahaha, Thanks For The Money Suckers and just thinking of the howling on the message boards only sent me flying even higher.

And watching them in Austin I just knew they weren't going to be doing a special theatre show setlist tho I didn't really expect them to cut down their regular set this much.

Sasha Allen was amazing here and pretty much the highlight of all the shows I have seen this tour.

Great show and probably my most fulfilling trip ever.

    Thanks for all these great recordings you have been posting, some of them sound too good to be audience captures, (I thought that Elvis YouTube theater one was a webcast at first) and I enjoyed the story of hustling tix to this Stones show. You have also now turned me onto Squid, who I didn't know about. All these L.A. recordings really show how world class that city has always been for live music- your efforts are much appreciated.- Dave from MA.

Band Of The Month: OASIS **FINAL 2024-10-10 with Round 10**

Seems like the tour excitement is catching on and a few fans have found this page. I don't have anything specifically rare but might as well put it all up. Don't really wanna clear out any of the Google drives so it has to be Pixeldrain. There is a 5GB daily download limit but I probably only have a few days worth. This collection is by no means comprehensive. Share widely if you wish. To be honest going forward - I don't like posting anything I haven't listened to. I lost track and can't really dedicate my life to Oasis right now so it's up to you to point out any flaws, most importantly CD skips from bad rips or too much diginoise - 2 things that make me trash a recording. Anyone have a complete Manchester Dec 1994? The one on Dime is heavily redacted. Can any of the experts recommend anything particularly exciting? Maybe I will make this a monthly thing with a different band. Or not. Like I said, just not feeling it anymore. RIP Douglas Parenteau aka OasisDou...

back on Friday

Lots of crashing ticket prices but unfortunately I didn't feel like spending 6 hours on the bus to Inglewood and back so I have been taking it easy this week. And finishing transfers. Same old drill, I will write up the info files Friday morning and post, possibly deleting stuff to make room so if you have been dawdling on anything, grab it now because once it's gone, that's it. None of the stuff I was threatening to do in lieu of staying home and working on tapes ever materialized. Too hot, too complacent, THC burnout, etc.  + + + And again. Since I spent $229.60 on a concert ticket last night I will probably skip Herbie tonight and a bunch of other stuff I had on the calendar but it was so worth it. More time to work on transfers and get stuff up and out though.  Same old thing, if I have any new transfers, I will write up the info and post on Friday. A lot of the stuff I listen to like one or 2 songs at a time, throw down the markers, get bored and move on to something e...

Back On Friday

 I guess this means I will be back on Friday with any new transfers I might have done. Which ain't much.   * * * *    I will be back next Friday with at least the uncompleted projects I was trying to get up the other day. I didn't go to a single show in the last week period. I have a bunch on my calendar but other than the Prima Donna show I bought a ticket for, who knows what I will end up hitting. I just got a text from the dearly neglected saying "we should go see Billie Eilish" but I think she was one and done for me at least until she hits the corndog circuit. I might take her down there, find her a ticket and turn her loose inside like I did for the Foo Fighters Santa Barbara show but not spending "real money" on my ticket. I also notice stuff on the blog disappearing beneath the fold - when you click "more posts" at the bottom of the first page, it cuts out a huge chunk of content. Like 6-10 entries. I tried changing the amount of posts per ...
