Witchy woman.

I saw Jimmy Page and Pete Townshend live when they were young.

Mother Love Bone at the Legends Club Tacoma Hilltop, Feb 1990

I'm assuming that's Big Love without actually clicking on it. One of my favorite things ever. Too bad he couldn't perform Never Going Back Again live like that. It's just a little bit more awesome. Here's one of the best ever. If I'm the only one who posts it then this place is shit and you're all fags:

Primus vs Tool. Does it get any better? I submit that it does not.
-
I once karaoked Big Love in Mt Vernon and almost crowd-surfed out of the place after. Tore the roof off the mother sucker. Legitimately one of my life's finest moments. It was the most famous I've ever been. You Can Call Me Al in Phoenix was a close 2nd.

I came. Great pull.

Mid 2000s 3-piece Seattle band, drumless yet percussive, The Senate, put out one of my fave live albums (their only one) at the Solstice and I hit it often. I know the lead (Nick Drummond), he dated one of my classmates for years. It's a terrible shame these guys didn't stick around. Nick went solo for a bit, didn't work out, think they reunited for a show, fail. I always gotta share these guys though. Seen em several times and they blew my mind without fail. If you like this shit, you will love this shit
First is instrumental. Last two have vocals. The album is on Spotify.
If I get one person to say "this is fucking sick", I've done my job. Not trying to lead the witness or anything
-
I saw Tom Petty thrice and Paul Simon twice before I was 24 years old. I'm pretty cool too.
-
What's wrong with this, @chuck?
It's one of the greatest songs songed and performances performed. I got nothin.
-
Also always been one of my (and dad's) faves. Go Trojans?
-
I'll take Townes over most anyone. Couldn't put the damn bottle down. Fucking incredible vid ^
-
Stevie, EC, Steve Gadd, Willie Weeks, bout as good as it gets for me...
-
Speaking of the best country deaths.
Still need to see the flick.
-
You tha man. Another good pull. I still can't see Steve Winwood's name without immediately thinking of this though. It's not live but I will let it slide.
-
Call On Me is such a jam.
-
It's near the top of my Cleaning playlist.
-
Also I've heard dude and lead girl are married or something. Very romantic.
-
That's great but it's not quite the same as the album take. I guess it would've been more accurate to say that he couldn't play it live quite the same.
-
The chord progression is ridiculous on it. I gotta cut the man a little slack.
-
Hot bitches covering early Peter Green Mac. I can't complain.
-
Pretty sure this is the forum I want to be in until spring camp. I'm pretty much over the rest. This right here is where I can find satisfaction. Plz assist.
-
Probably that I've attended:
The one I wish I was there and watch at least once a year:
-
I've never been a Muse fan but I would certainly accept a free ticket to that show. Looks awesome. Arcade Fire is my preferred live shit in that timeframe. Seen em three times, Coachella, Gorge, White River. Top shelf live, like 20 instruments at once. It's an experience like no other. I think the dude is now a child diddler or something and they have lost their spice. I just like music.
-
Also Samuel Herring of Future Islands is the most unique front man/performer I have ever seen live. They hit the scene with the Letterman show I linked earlier. This dude is built like something the world hasn't seen since Elvis. His stage presence is otherworldly. He's also a white Baltimore rapper known as Hemlock Ernst. It's true. Any music fan needs to see this guy. I can almost guarantee satisfaction regardless of taste. You will get 110% of Sam's energy every time. Never seen shows like theirs. They just dropped a new album and they're on tour fwiw. I'll be there again.
Start at 9:00 for a great taste.
