Gonna go see Jethro Tull in June. This summer is lookin to be full of awesome classic rock shows. Jethro Tull was the second show I ever saw. This was probably 1994; I was probably thirteen. I was SOFA KING in love with going to concerts that you could have taken me to see just about anything and I would have loved it. They played at my favorite venue in the world, San Francisco's Warfield Theater. And it is still one of the most ridiculously awful shows I've ever seen. Like, I was embarrassed for Ian Anderson, then in his early sixties, still standing on one leg playing flute solos. I love (LOVE) me some Tull, but I don't think I could ever go see them again. Awww cute, Jethro Tull was the first concert I ever went to at the ripe age of 8 (I guess HG saw them about 3 years before I did). My parents even had connections that got us second-row-center seats! I thought it was the greatest thing ever. But then of course to an 8-year-old, of course that would be the greatest thing ever.

Looks like Journey will be coming through Portland as well. vdob.blogspot.com/2011/03/journey-foreigner-night-ranger-us-tour.htmlI'm going to try to make it up to Portland this Summer to see some family, and hopefully catch a show, but I'm not seeing any good weekend shows. I would do Rush, but I already threw down some serious cash to get decent tickets at the Gorge. Meh.

Ween is coming back to the Les Schwab Amphitheater in Bend, OR. I've seen them there a couple times, it's the perfect fucking place to see Ween.
7/2/11, pre-sale is going on as we speak.

I was just having a ween marathon last night and thinking how much it sucked that I missed them at Sasquatch AND their recent portland date.

Pea, you gotta come to Coheed. I swore that I would never see them again- unless they were playing all of SSTB, which is definitely in my top five, maybe top three, albums of all time. I've hated everything that's come out since IKSE, other than My Brother's Blood Machine, which isn't even coheed. I'm hoping Claudio trots out some Prize Fighter material during the acoustic set. And you know what else an acoustic set means? BOTH VERSIONS OF JUNESONG. BOTH OF THEM. You gotta come. Show's may fifth at the Showbox Sodo, and tickets are still available. I know for a fact that my voice is going to be completely gone the next day.

Haha I would, I REALLY would, but between April and May all of my extra money is going to festival funding...and beer money for Sounders matches of course. I really doubt I'll be making it to any shows for the next few months

Dude. Dude. If you are actually a big Coheed fan, I would honestly be willing to cover your ticket as long as you could get me back at some point in the year. This is honestly a once in a lifetime event for early Coheed fans. My group of friends that all went to 'Heed shows back in the day scrambled to get tickets for everybody- either we were all going, or none of us would go. This is a one hundred percent serious offer.

Haha I guess I'm not THAT big of a fan afterall. I appreciate it man but I've seen them once and it was honestly enough for me.

Hmmm, only shows I've really got coming up are ones I'm playing.
Doing a set of Yeah Yeah Yeah's cover songs for this cover show tomorrow night to raise money for a Girl's Rock Camp in Charleston (didn't the first one start in Portland?)

C'mon Gunther, you know you want Deaner to melt your face off again. The Les Schwab Amphitheater is a really great venue for Ween.

Oh yeah, I'll get a couple tickets and figure out how to make it happen. Plus, it's a weekend, so I'll be able to let loose a bit more than their last show.

Epic, indeed. If there was a perfect venue to see Rush, the gorge would be it.

Epic, indeed. If there was a perfect venue to see Rush, the gorge would be it. The only downside is that it's seated.
