Some of my friends are going to see Yo La Tengo tonight, but I backed out cause I have other stuff going on.
Did they mostly play new stuff, or was it songs from throughout their discography?

After spending the last few years barely going to any shows, in the last like month and a half, I've seen John Maus, Godspeed You! Black Emperor (for the 2nd time), Nils Frahm, and Gas (Wolfgang Voigt), all at the same venue.

Seeing Peter Hook playing Joy Division and New Order songs, and Panda Bear with Geologist as the opening act, there too within the next month.

Sleep, last night.

 You and the D00D have turned this thread into a horrible head-on-collision between a short bus full of regular kids and a van full of paraplegics.

ahhhh due to being broke I just missed them play New Haven CT! No idea about the show, and really don't wanna hear the show was good.. I don't wanna get upset about it. Def going to see Kurt Vile in New Haven in June (Ex Best Friend's cousin is a member of the band).

@childhood, they played new and old stuff, it was a good mix of both. Here's the setlist: https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/yo-la-tengo/2018/the-phoenix-concert-theatre-toronto-on-canada-23ef545f.html

They have so many albums and they could play any of these songs at a drop of the hat, so the setlists vary from show to show. It's a lottery, but you win every time. For example, they didn't play Sugarcube here, but did in the next show. But then they played Yellow Sarong, which they didn't play elsewhere.

Went to a TTNG show a few days ago. I am partially to some math rock once in a while, and this time it really hit the spot. And the banter was pretty funny, too.

Saw AJJ a couple nights ago. My friend's band opened for them and I'm still insanely jealous about it. Then a week from tomorrow I'm seeing Jeff Rosenstock, and hopefully seeing the two back to back will finally motivate me to make music again, because both of those bands are largely the reason I started in the first place.

Oh that's sick. I think I preferred them when they had their original vocalist, but their guitarist is still amazing. Victor Villareal-esque.

They came to Seattle a few months back and I just happened to walk past the venue. I talked to the bouncer and he let me in for free to watch for a few songs. Fuckin awesome. Thank you Chop Suey bouncer.

Saw Earthless about a month ago and it was fucking amazing!  They put on one of the best live shows.  Kikagaku Moyo, from Japan, opened up for them and were mindblowing too.  Psychedelic rock with a sitar.

Caught Propagandhi at the beginning of March. They still bring it.  Been one of my all time favorite bands for over 20 years.

I got burned on Earthless being sold out, but saw Dead Meadow in Brooklyn. Amazing.

Also saw Mac Sabbath again recently. If you don't know, look it up and go see them. You won't be disappointed.

I caught Backtrack and Mizery a couple days ago at a small venue in Berkeley, both had rad sets.

Saw Parquet Courts last night and they were great. Goat Girl opened for them and they had a solid set. It didn't seem like a lot of people knew who they were but I heard a lot of people saying really positive things when they were done. I don't love all of their music but they've got a few good jams and it was just cool seeing a young band from the UK touring and playing to a decent sized crowd in the US on their first time here.

Parquet Courts played a lot of stuff off the new album. Everything they played was great and I think the songs that I didn't really love on the new one were the ones I enjoyed most live. "Before The Water Gets Too High" was a real highlight. They played some classics too that got the crowd going. Crowd was great too, tons of energy. I was dead tired from busting my ass in the yard all day, so I just stood on the edge of the pit, but the fact that people were going wild and nobody was on their phones made it really fun. My only gripe is that the jam they ended with wasn't really that good and I'm only saying it because I've seen them do way better ones. I don't know if it was all improvised, but it just didn't do it like they usually do. Really wish they would've played "Stoned and Starving" instead, but maybe next time.

Overall it was a great show. I'm glad my wife enjoyed it too because I drag her to all the shitty shows I want to go see and we very rarely get to go see something she likes.

Finally got to go see Godspeed You! Black Emperor last Friday at Pappy and Harriet's. One of the best shows I have been to in a long while. Seeing a band like that under the stars in the middle of the desert can be a pretty surreal experience. The sound was amazing and they had some really great visual effects going throughout the show. They used tree reel to reel projectors running different film loops. At one point they were projecting what looked like a civil rights era klan riot, brown people getting jumped by a mob, then you realize it was just a trump rally in Huntington Beach. That was paired with a loop of a plane falling from the sky. The whole show was real heavy.

At the same show? I just heard about TFS and thought their new album was pretty awesome. Sounded like some shit you'd hear at like a demonic psychedelic circus.

I don't love everything king gizz puts out, but I'd love to see them live. Everything I've watched on youtube is great.

My brother and sister in laws got us free tickets to Peter Frampton and Steve Miller last night. Not something I would've paid to see, but I had a lot more fun than I expected. Everyone on stage was a great musician and I enjoyed their playing. People watching wasn't bad either.

Saw some random math rock bands at the Neptune on thursday because my buddy had a spare ticket. The crowd was pretty rad and the pit was really fun. Not normally my scene but I had a great time. Mastodon and Primus on friday super fucking rad. Mastodon mostly just played stuff from their two newer albums but played bladecatcher and some other gems. Primus fucking killed like usual. Third time seeing both bands. I think im going to try to go to smaller venues and seeing bands I havent seen before.

Saw Dwarves, Queers, and Screeching Weasel a few years back and it was a really awesome time. Eyehategod would be sick especially in a small little venue like that.

You summed that up pretty well. I felt the same way when Mark Knopfler came with Bob Dylan. Would have loved to see Knopfler but with Dylan attached it just wasn't worth it. No hate on any of his fans but I just couldn't ever get into most of his music. Same with the Beatles. I guess there is just something wrong with me haha. I dont think they're bad musicians or anything its just most of their music doesn't do it for me.

Just went to the San Pedro el Cortez 10 year anniversary show in Tijuana last night. Other headliners were Crush (Black Lips side project), Gary Wilson (legend, influenced Beck, Ariel Pink, Odd Future members, etc.), and Los Dug Dug's (late 60's, early 70's rock) legends.

Alvvays and War On Drugs last night.  Holy shit.  10/10.  Wish they would’ve played Thinking Of A Place and Nothing To Find, but still no complaints.

Sorry I haven't returned to this thread so only just saw your post then.

It was at the same venue but two nights apart.

Check out the Drones if you like TFS, it's the same singer- Gareth Liddiard. Sorry if you're Australian as this will be obvious.

King Gizz are great live. Really tight and energy packed. Don't be shy about not liking all their stuff. It's very diverse yet also very repetitive at times. Highly recommend checking a gig if you get the opportunity.

Saw ELO at Madison Square Garden the other night. Performance was good (as expected), but the light show/stage blew my mind.

Just saw Annihilation Time. I wouldn't put their music on so much these days, but seeing them live was neat. Very talented band to say the least. They played with Hank Wood and The Hammerheads. Now that band just doesn't do it for me.
