Fun Stuff > BAND
Gigs you've been to and your thoughts.
pilsner:
So, Iron Maiden last night in NJ was amazing. The 8 foot tall Eddie from the future with Terminator gun, fireworks and flames, and the fact that Dickinson still has a hell of a voice combined for maximum fun in an evening where they performed most of the old favorites including Fear of the Dark, Run to the Hills, The Number of the Beast, Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner, and Can I Play With Madness. They also announced a June 15 show at MSG.

DKM/Everybody Out/Big D & The Kids Table (afternoon show)
Everybody Out: Riotous fun. English punk ahoy!
B+ would see again! Attempted to buy a t-shirt, but they were sold out.
Big D: Uninspiring, really. They played two covers, and those were probably the best tracks.
D+ Booooooo.
Dropkick: I'll get back to this. See the later review.
Dropkick/Ted Leo & The Pharmacists (night show)
Ted Leo: The set was REALLY high energy, but unfortunately the crowd was made of mostly drunken dudebros who were screaming about how bad Ted Leo is. At one point, Ted started arguing with them. I loved it, but I think I was the only one there that did, sadly. I ended up leaving the general area before the last two songs (they closed with an amazing Stiff Little Fingers cover) because I could not stand the dudebros.
A- Great show, but the crowd wasn't into it. *sigh*
I hate to say it, but I guess Dropkick Murphys are too big, or rather, the fanbase totally sucks now. I almost don't want to go next March to see them. I mean honestly, the pits were a mix of drunken frat-boy dudebros, 12 year old girls, and thirtysomethings who think they're still hip. I'm sad. I long for the good ol' days when they were rocking tiny clubs (even though I wasn't a huge fan back then?).
Both of their sets were wicked fun, though. I really enjoyed the shows...just not the crowd.
B+ It's frigging Dropkick Murphys on St. Patty's weekend. You should experience it at least once. Before the dudebros take over entirely.
I guess this proves nothing aside that Ted Leo and at least one Pharmacist were playing a show.
Kai:
Seeing Built to Spill and the MEAT PUPPETS tomorrow night. Hella excited.

Suspect Device, right? Ted Leo's cover of that song is epic.
