I was kinda assuming this would follow the same pattern as the previous two gigs with prices in freefall, but early afternoon the opposite happened with prices going up and by 7pm there was nothing under 150$ on the secondary. I should have bought on Friday! But I found a street scalper (who I usually ignore) who hooked me up with an upper deck for $80. Was able to get relocated downstairs. During Miley the sound was great but the screen and scaffolding would have blocked the side musicians and drummer for Green Day. So in between all this scrambling around, and finding some stealth spots to take a hit I really should have checked the mic connection and taped it down as there are some occasional annoying mic artifacts I can't always fix.

That said, Saturday was the best night of the 3. Green Day's team was able to adapt their production to the fixed staging and production a lot better to make it look like the Green Day show instead of Halsey on the Bud Light Super Bowl stage. And I hate fake encores but love spontaneous ones so that made it unique and fun knowing they were going totally off script and playing some extra songs because they wanted to even though the crowd was spent and mostly emptied out. If the show was like 3 mins earlier I would have made a runner at the end of Good Riddance to catch the bus and screwed that up too.   

All these shows started and ran late. This one ended at 12:26. Glad it's not a regular thing and would have hated it at the Forum but also hate it when a good opener or co-headliner takes the stage to an empty building while the fans are still stuck in traffic.

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 ...
