Verging on ridiculous
And by this, I mean this is turning out to be a ridiculously good year for big act/live music here on the quakeable shakeable. Just saw the announcement that PJ will be playing its own solo show (last for its current tour in support of its latest) in addition to its open-the-show for U2, one week before (12/2). Opening for PJ will be one of SL's favorite under the radar bands, Kings of Leon.
For those keeping score, the big show dance card looks like this:
Stones with Thorogood & the Destroyers --- 11/22
PJ with KOL --- 12/2
U2 with PJ and R&tDs --- 12/9
Ze Piano Man -- 12/16
Not mentioned are the little shows here and there with up and coming bands, like Blue October on WED at the Hale Koa, and the eight days later, the brilliant metal of KSE at Pipe ... not going to either, but I've been impressed with the amount of shows this year both large and small (yes, the Pipeline boycott continues)
You know, the only problem is cash flow ... these shows are all pretty pricey, and at the end of the day, it will be pick and choose, not go to them all ... ehhh, those high ticket prices.
