Does Broadway Show count as concert? Absolutely! When I was a kid, I used to go all the time but it has been years. I tried to get tickets to Hamilton but couldn't do it. Now you give me something to talk about since I don't go to real concerts. I was in this Broadway Show phase during the mid 90s. I might have saw just about every major musicals on Broadway at that time. Saw Phantom, Les Miz, Jeckyll & Hyde multiple times (good way to spend time with a girl). I love Tommy's The Who, Will Roger's Follies, Crazy For You. You know which one felt like a real concert, Smokey Joe's Cafe, great Leiber & Stoller songs.

... I was in this Broadway Show phase during the mid 90s. I might have saw just about every major musicals on Broadway at that time... The winter before covid kicked off we took Midi-chlorian Count Jnr to see the Lion King. Stage sets were fantastic, cast / singers excellent, etc. However the experience was effectively destroyed by some learning disabilitied man being in the audience. Randomly - throughout the entire evening - he would scream out a long lasting "Eeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhhh"s which the entire audience could hear over the music. Nothing to really be done as you could see guy was clearly heavily disabled. But it's funny - Whenever I now hear "Can you feel the love tonight" in my mind that "Eeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhh" is inserted! Ever come across anything like that on Broadway?

It did happen in a movie when baby crying and the mother took her time to step out. Another time, there was this guy snoring very loudly.

Well as it stands today, if two people get shot the first responders have no idea which, if any, of the victims are vaccinated. How would they? No one I know carries that card with them and even if they did, the first responders are still masked anyway. So that example is dumb. Does an unvaccinated person have the right to buy groceries at a store? Yes, if they do the simple, so easy task of putting a goddamned mask on while shopping. Donβt want to do that? There are a number of online options. Donβt have the internet or a smart phone? Then you probably have bigger issues in life. Not every stance in the world is oppression. Come down off your cross and join us in the real world. If me having legitimate concerns about a two-tiered class society becoming a thing because of vaccinations is the equivalent of "being on the cross" to you, then you really do have a much more warped view of the world than I originally thought. Sorry for asking questions, I know in your world we should all just bow down and accept whatever the government, or in your case one side of the government, says as the Gospel truth, but some of us are a bit more free thinking in our approach. Those of us that don't watch FoxNews or believe a word Donald Trump says are capable of critical thinking. From what I've seen, the same can't be said for those who do. You never replied to my post where I addressed all of the bullshit about your vaccine stance, why is that? You've never had a problem doing 'experimental drugs' in the past, when they weren't politicized. The Pfizer vaccine is approved by the FDA now, you don't have that excuse anymore. The bottom line is FoxNews told you not to get the vaccine, so you won't. Trump himself is now telling his flock at rallies to take the vaccine-- and they're booing him for it. Why should they? The government is telling them to take the vaccine, the same government this stupid shit has told them stole the election. The election certified by republican officials in red states was somehow stolen by the democrats. He destroyed their faith in the system, and now they refuse to take simple steps that will save the lives of their fellow citizens. Because reasons. They'll chain smoke and eat themselves into obesity (and the countless health problems that come with it), but they won't get the vaccine because "it's dangerous." Hell of a way to live. But don't complain when they won't let you go to a fucking concert.

Not a big concert guy, so I haven't been to a ton. Highlights include the Rolling Stones at Foxborough Stadium back in 1997. Also saw David Bowie at the Orpheum in Boston a few weeks previous to that. Holy shit, I had forgotten how close those two shows were to each other. Hell of a month.

Last night, I saw Dr. Dog at the Rooftop at Pier 17 in Manhattan, which is a sick venue that opened in the newly-renovated/built South Street Seaport. I think it opened in 2018 but I'm not positive, this was my first time there. It features beautiful views of lower Manhattan and downtown Brooklyn, as well as the Brooklyn Bridge behind the stage. It's also a relatively small venue which is nice for a more intimate experience. Extra bonus - we got to have dinner at Momofuku Ssam Bar, which is directly underneath where the venue is. Fuckin A!
Dr. Dog was their usual stellar self, although if I'm going to be finicky, their setlist was a bit more singer-songwriter esque and it was a touch lower energy that I would have preferred. Still, when co-lead singers Scott McMicken and Toby Leaman get going, it's a tough act to beat. Toby in particular, that guy is incredible.
I'm trying to find a soundboard recording from last night and not seeing one, if I find one I'll post it here for anyone interested.

Also saw David Bowie at the Orpheum in Boston a few weeks previous to that. Holy shit, I had forgotten how close those two shows were to each other. Hell of a month. Seeing your post, I'm reminded that I was incredibly fortunate to catch Bowie twice. The first time at Area 2 Festival (Moby's festival) out in LA in 2002*, and then I saw him in a standalone in June, 2003 at Jones Beach on Long Island which was one of the top 5 concerts of my life. He sounded incredible, he played for 3 hours, his voice and stage presence were second to none, his backing band was tight as can be, and he played Station to Station which blew my fucking mind. It was only a few weeks before his heart attack which ended the tour and pretty much all of his live performance thereafter, which is a true shame. I had tickets to see him in Monaco of all places as I was backpacking through Europe at the time. Sadly, that show was canceled, but at least we all got to bask in some new music from him in the years to come after that. * In a weird little scheduling experiment, Busta Rhymes was the act immediately before Bowie at that festival, and he was so bitter that the crowd was more interested in Bowie (and Moby, quite frankly) than him that he bitched his way through his set, took elongated breaks between songs, and was clearly half-assing it. It was really annoying because I was intrigued about how he would be, given his popularity at the time. When the crowd started getting antsy, he started getting belligerently obnoxious about it. One of the only times I saw a guy get boo'ed off stage. Deservedly so. Play your set, be a pro, don't be a twat. Pretty easy.

Yeah Bowie was incredible live, it was great to see him in a small venue like the Orpheum. lol at Busta Rhymes. He always seemed like he was doing a parody of a rapper, anyway. "Yaw yaw yaw, yaw yaw." I would've booed his ass on general principle.

It's mind boggling how these people accept what this nut says. They hate being called a cult but there is no other name for it. To buy into what this psycho uneducated racist douchebag pulls out of his ass on a daily basis and then do the "we're free thinking!" excuse just makes me weep for humanity. We had no idea how many fucking stupid people there were in this country until Trump pulled them out for us.

I remember exactly where I was when I learned on his death (Bowie's that is) and I legitimately didn't believe the person when they told me. I'm with you, Bowie was amazing.
