We saw Lord Huron Saturday night. Easily one of the best concerts I've ever seen. Amazing energy, fantastic performances, and seriously the coolest lighting show I've ever seen.

Funky (custom?) bass that looked really cool.
I saw them a few weeks back & it was an amazing show. That bass he is playing is a Moniker bass. I was staring at it all night. It was gorgeous & he was a great bass player.
I don't know if it was just because he was having some technical problems, but did he break out the upright bass at your show too?

And thanks for the info! I'll have to look up the Moniker bass.
He did. He seemed to swap basses very frequently. I don't think he was having any technical issues on the night I saw them.

Badass. I would absolutely go and see them again.

I would too. There have been several shows I’ve seen this year by people I wasn’t very familiar with that I really enjoyed & would go again.

I saw Sigur Ros the other night.

It was... 'fine'? I suppose I can see how it'd be amazing for a superfan but frankly a lot of it dragged on.

Oh, you didn't know Lord Huron very well before the show? Very-soon-to-be-Mrs J got me hooked on them 3 years ago, and I fell in love pretty quickly.

All 4 of their albums are great, but my favorite is their third, Vide Noir. It has this really cool vibe that would work as easily for Halloween/autumn background music as it would camping or hiking in northern California.

Their newest is also really cool as it's meant to feel like an old radio show/old concert, with talking between songs, like an old MC/DJ would do.

I had heard a few songs but didn't know much. I had a similar experience going to see Gregory Alan Isakov also. Didn't know much about him but was blown away by the performance!

Oh man, I bet that was a good show. I've never seen him, but I always figured he puts on a good show. I would kind of assume that most of the modern indie folk stuff would be pretty decent live. Lumineers, Gregory Alan Isakov, Of Monsters And Men, Head And The Heart, Vance Joy, Kodaline, Mumford & Sons, etc.

My friend’s wife got Covid so he offered up their Pavement tickets for tonight.

Provided he doesn’t bail out last minute this will be my 12 year old son’s first “real” concert, so looking forward to that aspect.

After my rib-injury and getting Covid and so missing Primavera Porto (with Nick Cave, Khruangbin, Tame Impala and Gorillaz) and Einstürzende Neubauten I was very thankful to catch Nick Cave at Burg Clam (an ancient castle near where I live) - probably the summer‘s highlight…

Next thing up would be THE WYTCHES in the UK (which will be my first post-Brexit visit and my first concert of one of my absolute favorite bands!)

Godspeed You! Black Emperor last night at the Barrowlands. Utterly cathartic.

Did you make it/how was it/has your son got the bug?
I have nothing to offer anybody, except my own confusion?

We did go. It ended up being a bit much for him as it was very loud and bright. It was a bit much for me too honestly. The sound was bad or at least inappropriate for the room.

We made it 8 or 9 songs. He liked the adventure of taking the train downtown, etc…

That’s a shame, I guess maybe try taking him to one of his favourite artists when they’re in town?

He really doesn’t have favorite artists.

He took drum lessons for a bit (his idea), and that’s why it didn’t take I think. So far he hasn’t heard anything that really excites him.

Hopefully we can find something else to check out soon. Outdoor shows are great, but we’re getting to the end of that season.
