The Damned @ The Wiltern 2025-05-27 (untracked wav)

 Oops I did it again. I just couldn't help myself and started buying up the bottoming out tickets for what I thought was a sold out show, marking the tickets back up to something around face value but to be honest I had no idea what that was and I really only ever acknowledge 2 prices, my price and the market. Then halfway thru the day someone flipped the switch at Ticketmaster bringing the show live again and with hundreds of available tickets. No idea how long it was like that but someone really messed up and possibly cost the band and the company some serious money. Ended up using a single ticket off a pair that went up in smoke. Not only that, they were Vet Tix! So I guess I suffered someone else's bad karma though I donated back when the biz was unraveling and I didn't want to nailbite any more worthless 8 packs. I should really know better by now, especially since I am kinda forced to exclude Stubhub from my feed. Used to be I could buy almost anything and flip it. No...

Testament @ House Of Blues, San Diego, CA 2025-05-25 (raw wav)

  This is one I might wanna listen to again soon and track out but you can have at it if you want. My friend was going to go to San Diego for Testament. They were doing a Practice What You Preach anniversary show in San Diego. Since I saw the original tour in Anaheim May 4 1990 with Savatage and Dark Angel I was totally down to go along. Stopped for $1.29 fish tacos at Del Pueblo, a must when traveling in a car. Also smoked a joint at the top of the hill at Presidio Park, a place where I spent a lot of time during my overnighter last year. Pretty good show but way too long at 135 mins. Still better that then a few openers I pretend to like but never really listened to way back when either. Probably could have grabbed a better spot but it was a place where I could lean. https://pixeldrain.com/u/7mRrkhEs

Bob Dylan @ Hollywood Bowl 2025-05-15

 Raw wav not very clean probably better versions  missed Sierra Hull just assuming there are still official releases for Billy Strings & Willie Nelson? I was already walking way down Highland trying to get out of there when I scored a free ticket and hurried back. Tho by the time I was inside I had like 3 mins til Billy Strings I still went to the smoking stairs and sparked one up. Lots of abrasions and maybe wind noise and also lots of row jumping since someone was blocking a different row with a wheelchair. Moved to opposite side for Dylan then back for Willie Nelson. Never had mics mounted properly. More into just chilling with weed and trail mix. Hopefully someone got an ALD pull of Dylan as I really dug that set.   https://pixeldrain.com/u/BaGqVYS6

Elton John @ Petco Park 2025-05-09 (raw wav)

This was a slow burn. Only floor tables and really expensive lower level tickets at first but gradually opening sections with the whole upper deck going on sale a few sections at a time and selling out immediately for $42.70 Meanwhile the night before I find out the Metrolink isn't running to Oceanside where I prefer to transfer to the Coaster the rest of the way. A friend decides to drive down. First the plan is me and another friend split his ticket and I grab him like the last $42 ticket. Friend bows out, afraid he won't get a ticket. A little irked about being on the hook for the whole ticket but it all kinda worked out in the end as I spent like $100 total on everything. So we go down there with 1 ticket, find cheap metered parking a mile away from the stadium. So my friend has a ticket and I don't. Same guy who drove me to Vegas. Offered to give the ticket back because he is happy to just hang out in the Gaslamp. I refuse. There are loads of people looking for tickets...

My DVD Collection (Pictures)

 Getting some containers off Amazon but will probably be purging a lot. Not even watching anything right now and barely watch any of these. The format is terrible and those slimline drives are just foul. Dual layers? Even if I can get one to successfully burn now it will be unwatchable in a few years. Too bad, love video but can't make a career out of it. Or if I can, lemme know how.
