David Gilmour - Luck and Strange Tour Hollywood Bowl - Los Angeles, CA October 31, 2024 This was the final night of a 3 show run at the Hollywood Bowl, and the 16th show of a 21 show tour (in just 4 cities worldwide). It was a truly magical evening and the band was on fire. The best performances I've seen from any shows on this tour so far. They really played well, and David was damn near perfect. The setlist remained the same for all shows; Set 1 = 13 songs / Set 2 = 10 songs. He played 9 (of 11) songs off the new record, which is a great album btw. The show is insane. The lighting design was unlike anything I had ever seen. Only way I can describe it is like, "painting brush strokes" with light. Truly unique and new. The sound was pristine. Absolutely perfect. The show progressed (production wise) with each song. Starting with limited lighting and visuals, then moving to full blown mind blowing lasers and incredible scenes. Lasers don't even make their appearance until the beginning of the second set, for Sorrow. Gilmour is my favorite guitarist, and Pink Floyd is my second favorite band. I'm so glad we made the trip to see this special tour. Only 5 shows left, all at Madison Square Garden in NYC. If you can find a ticket, you should do all you can to go. Here's my Video of Sorrow: (not the best video but it sounds incredible)

Billy records all their stuff in his home studio.

Bush / Jerry Cantrell / Candlebox / Bones UK Saturday Sept 14, 2024 Talking Stick Resort Amphitheater - Phoenix, AZ Disclaimer: this concert was my wife's idea for "date night", so.... Bush: I have never been a fan of Bush. With that said, they blew me away. Absolutely killer rock show. They were the headliner so I expected something decent, but they were really impressive. Great set, sounded good, looked good, crowd loved it. Interesting side-note: during the last intermission (right before Bush) the "house music" was the loudest between-set music I've ever heard. Not just a little louder than most, but way louder. I'd say a solid 20db louder than any concert I've ever been to (over 750). It was "as loud" as the Opening band (Bones UK). Insane! Jerry Cantrell: The Alice in Chains star killer it. Great set, really nice performances, sounded good, looked good. The "aux" vocalist is insanely good. The vocals during their set were fantastic. Jerry sang all of his songs (most), and the other guy sang the rest. I saw Alice In Chains 3 times back in the day, so I'm a fan. Jerry did not disappoint. Candlebox: I've always loved them, but haven't seen them since they opened for Rush on the Counterparts Tour. They were amazing. That lead singer is an incredible vocalist. Total rock star. Great set, great show. They really sounded good...maybe the best of all the bands. Crowd was the loudest for these guys. They killed it! Bones UK: Never heard of them before. All chick band, 3 piece. They were awesome. Great energy, cool songs, solid performances. Perfect opener for this tour. Overall this was a better than expected concert. I enjoyed it way more than I thought I would. Totally worth it (tickets were $39). This was the second to last night of a 32 city tour. Shameless plug: This is my 4250th post - since September 25, 2004 - Member #200 (the quiet Moderator).

I can see your original account, Chemistry1973. It has an "aol" email. I can help you get into that account if you want.

I simply cannot choose between two of the greatest albums of all time. So, congratulations are in order for creating the only poll I've never had an answer for .

Mindcrime gets my vote, but Empire is an outstanding record. There isn't a single song on either album that I dislike.

I bought the 3 disc package (2 audio + 1 bluray) a few weeks ago, and it's absolutely incredible. I like the Dark Side Mix as it's a bit brighter, despite it's name. But both mixes are killer, and if you're a fan you should own this album.

They're one the greatest bands of all time. Pure genius.

Are you just looking for offsite storage? Or are you looking for actual "offsite backup / disaster recovery"? Because they are different. If you just need to store files somewhere, it's super simple to pull that off without a service. If you want actual "backup / recovery" that's more complex and requires a service. How much data are you talking about here?

If you're only interested in single hits, then your mount idea might work. But if you really want effective tambourine playing, then the DW pedal is the way to go. They're awesome!

Can't argue too much with that list. All solid choices. I own 7 of the 10. Great records!

The end was determined in January 2017 when new owners, Disney, decided that DEI was the path forward. Nat Geo has been a highly regarded publication for decades and widely embraced. But just like every other company that chooses DEI over their loyal customers and employees, they fail. Reduction of "print media" is not the reason here. Loss of customer base is.
