Judas Priest @ YouTube Theater 2024-10-15 (raw wav)

LIMITED TIME / LAST TIME


Only 1 area show in a 6,000 seater, of course I don't buy tickets so day of it's not looking good. At least not to anyone who isn't me.

Grab a cheap resale ticket that popped up early in the afternoon, then tempt fate and resell it. Actually going depends on nap status so I don't even get there til after Sabaton is on. The one show I saw in Raleigh did not impress. I know the historian YouTubers I watch love them but I just can't get into it. Also Charli XCX was at the Forum so I spent at least 5 minutes there seeing if I could get a $60 ticket in spite of it being a $300 get-in.

Anyway it was work, got a cheap ticket in the parking lot after Sabaton was done pushing my cost to almost free. Yeah I know it breaks every fan code that I didn't agree to but I have had zero income for years so this is how I gotta do it for the more pricey shows from now on.

Great Priest show for the modern lineup, excellent pacing, especially the first half. Crown Of Horns best song in almost 35 years which goes a long way toward legitimizing the current lineup.

Was distracted by the 2 drunk kids in front of me. Right on the aisle. Once he came out into the aisle and stepped on a beer can he dropped there and fell backwards. Right in front of security patrolling the aisle, who I don't want around me. His friend was overly bouncy and twice knocked him over, at least once hitting his head on the aisle railing. So after that I had my eye more on him than the stage. Seen people seriously injured from hitting their head at shows and don't really wanna see it again.

Anyway decent enough recording, unfortunately optimizing for stack placement is just rarely in the budget.

    Lol. This reminds me of a show the band did in Royal Oak during the 'Ripper' years.I went there and stood true to my word that I was not paying to see them again. At least with this line up. Don't get me wrong I like 'Ripper' as a front man. Saw 'British Steel' his Priest cover band at Harpos/Detroit long before he ever fronted the actual band. To this day it was the only time I have ever done this. And I have no reasoning behind it, I just decided I was not going in unless I could for free. Met a lot of interesting people as they walked. I never begged, been to enough shows with that dude near the entrance. I don't believe I ever even mentioned to anyone I was looking for a freebie. And I have no recollection of when I finally scored a ticket. But I saw the show for free. Like I said it was a one time deal that worked out. On a side note got my Jugulator cd signed by everyone but Scott Travis who was being a little crybaby at the time.

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 ...
