Nice early afternoon radio session with Philip Phillips. Played the hits, a cover of Maneater, and his new single.

Bruno Mars at the Olympics Stadium in Seoul, Korea
It was a very entertaining show, even though it was a bit short. Mars sang most of his hits and did it well, but still the setlist didn't include several songs fans wanted to hear (Gorilla, It Will Rain, Count on Me, Skate, etc.).
Had a row 7 seat among many celebrities and richies who came as guests for a credit card company that sponsored the event. These folks were wearing black wristbands to identify themselves as such. As you can expect from such a crowd, the response was a bit subdued in my section, but who cares? I had a lot of fun dancing and singing along.

Lawn Pass show #4
TLC/Shaggy/En Vogue/Sean Kingston
Missed Sean because I forgot my pass at home and had to circle back. En Vogue sounded great and I knew more songs than I thought I would. I didn't realize a member of TLC had passed away. Their set was fine. Knew the hits obviously. Shaggy was funny but the music was all over in terms of quality.

The Cure. Sunday, June 18th in "Boston," but really Mansfield, MA, Xfinity Center. I scored 16th row tix, so this is barely zoomed in.
It was unreal. Nearly three hours long, 6 new unrecorded songs, and so many of the classics. They played half of Disintegration and half of The Head on the Door. Robert Smith's voice was better at this show than in 1992 and 2016 when I saw them. I don't know how this is possible. I'm still riding the high from this show four days later. It's like the longest lasting gummy I ever took.

Modest Mouse was awesome on Saturday night. They played a new-to-me venue in Grand Rapids - GLC Live at 20 Monroe. A 2600 seat theater, we had mezz seats and it all looked and sounded great. The opener was Mattress. I loved what he was doing. Usually I'm hoping an opener plays just a few songs, but I was transfixed and wanted more. I met him at the merch table after and he was just as strange in person as on stage.
And, don't you all love when an artists plays your first favorite song? MM played Gravity Rides Everything, which was my introduction to them. So awesome.

Blue Ox was great! Caught at least a little bit of 90% of these bands. Besides the backwood stage one band ends then the next one start on the stage across the field.
My ride or die!
Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country, straight fire!
Adam Grueul and the Space Burritos (from Horseshoes and Hand Grenades)
Joshua Ray Walker
Black River Revue
Kyle Tuttle w/ Rainbow Girls This set was a lot of fun also saw Rainbow girls solo set
Sicard Hollow one of my favorite finds before the festival and they did not disappoint. Late night set was sick. Then they had two daytime sets. Jamgrass but one of the singers sounds like a band I liked called Homegrown. Sorta surfer emo voice.

What a great line up but I’m most jealous of Sutton Foster. I didn’t realize she did concerts too!I'm probably done with shows for the month, so here's a dump of photos:

Blue Ox cont.
Charlie Crocket his set got cut short but was really good.
Avett Brothers first time seeing them with all the extra band members.
Mike Gordon his solo stuff isn’t my cup of tea but live was good and danceable. Guess we missed a great Cities. Left early for the late night show that night.
Feed the Talking Dog is feed the dog but they played Talking Heads songs. Great way to end the fest.

This is a ways down the road but bought tix today.
The Grey Eagle might hold 400 or so. This show has the potential to physically collapse this place.

Last minute road trip to Pittsburgh to see My Morning Jacket? Yes!
Last minute move from an outdoor venue to an indoor one because of wildfire smoke? Yes, please!
Getting our faces melted with my first full Run Thru and what may have been the best non-festival set I've seen from them? Ahhhhh!
My Morning Jacket was a formative band for me. I listened to It Still Moves to and from high school every day. I missed last year's tour due to my son being born, and I missed the Cincinnati show earlier this week because of other plans. But I was not going to miss this one!
Opener Karl Denson's Tiny Universe was also pretty great. The dude is ripped and had a killer flute solo.

Anyone going to see JRAD suck off the Grateful Dead teat at summerfest?
Edit: Guess I should ask Wisco folk’s specifically.
@CrazyDiamond84 @D Jilla can’t remember who else?

Blossom Music Center Lawn Pass show #5
Shania Twain / Priscilla Block
Now I will say this. The production of Shania's show was very enjoyable, as was the music for the most part, but I'm pretty sure that besides the acoustic songs she was definitely lip syncing. The give away for me was a section where she was singing while jumping up and down and there was zero impact on her vocals.
Still way better than Priscilla Block who sounded like every bad bar karaoke you've experienced.

We saw Goose in Portland, ME last night. It was so hot while we were there, but, once the sun set, it was much more comfortable at Thompson's Point. Didn't take a lot of pix, last time I was at this venue was for The National last summer, and I was on the rail, so I didn't know what it was like to see a show from different vantages.
We ran into Trevor ( the bassist ) on the street on Wed afternoon and had a really nice chat with him. Other than the oppressive heat, it was a great getaway.

Is anyone going to Pitchfork? Had a crew last year but may be on my own this go round.
