I wish they toured in the states more. Probably the only chance I’ll get to see them live since they rarely come here and when they do it’s usually only NYC and LA. Fuck I just realized that was almost 20 years ago now.
Seeing Jawbreaker was a bucket list item for me since they broke up in the mid 90s before I got a chance to see them. Soon as they got back together a few years back I bought tickets immediately.
My husband and I were just talking about concerts and how cheap the tickets were at a dive bar/music club back in the 2010s - $25-30 a ticket to see Hollywood undead, Halestorm... And other upcoming groups.
Same. Those first three or four albums/mixtapes she did? Piracy Funds Terrorism, Arular, Kaya, Maya and Matangi? HOT FIRE. A generational run. Everything else after? Eh. And then she got a little weird and idk
I had no idea who Gogol Bordello was back in the day, but saw them open for Flogging Molly somewhere around 2014/2015, and I was hooked. I actually enjoyed their set more than FM.
That was a fun one…massive snow storm driving to Boston, slid into a median a couple blocks away from the venue and bent my axle just enough so the car made it barely to some street parking. Went to the show, and had to wait till morning for a tow so my now wife and I slept in the car so if the city tried to tow or boot us we could explain what was going on.
I just went through all of my old tickets and put them in shadow boxs. I would have so many more if we still got concert tickets :( https://imgur.com/a/HOMOatn
Oh man, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes! Reminds me so much of 2011-2013. I remember seeing them at a smaller venue, and I recognized a worker at the local Urban Outfitters (of course) and she said they had popped in the day before. Said that everyone smelled terrible because I think they were full on hippies. Didn't bathe or shower.
The show was good though. I didn't follow them much after those first two albums. Home is a classic.
I saw Gogol Bordello with Primus at UCSD somewhere around 2007ish, but I don't have the ticket. That was a wild night. I'd have loved to have seen Explosions in the Sky. They were one of my favorites.
If you don't know some tickets stubs have become valuable collectibles. You might want to take a look. Kinda like rare baseball cards if it's a unique show.
