Austin Psych Fest. Hyped to see Anco, Boris, and Brian Wilson.
>Favorite live album/concert film?
Stop Making Sense
>What's a show you'd give one of your testicles to see in person?
Stop Making Sense and 98.12.28 Otokotachi no Wakare
>>61187913
>tfw this AND the money store both came out on my birthday
>tfw never seen a live show
Am I missing out. None of my friends ever want to see anything and nothing in my area has ever really struck my fancy.
>good shows this year
Sufjan was incredible
>shows going to next year
Going back to Bonnaroo for the third year in a row. Other than that, who knows
>best show i've been to
Sufjan is up there as far as pure talent is concerned. Favorite show would be Grouplove at Bonnaroo 2014 because the crowd was unreal, though I don't necessarily care for Grouplove's music as a whole.
>favorite live album/concert film
Shut up and play the hits and the accompanying album. For this year, I'd go with Live at 9:30
>show I'd love to go to
LCD Soundsystem and Radiohead. Or Pink Floyd at any point in the 70s.
>>61187913
>Did you see any good shows this year?
Saw about 20 shows this year. The best were Diarrhea Planet and Titus Andronicus.
>2016 shows
Hopefully seeing Gogol Bordello on the 1st or 2nd, definitely seeing Titus Andronicus and Craig Finn in March or April, probably twice.
>Best show
Hard to say. Sigur Ros and Flaming Lips from 2 years ago are up there, Nick Cave and Diarrhea Planet from 2014 are up there, and Titus Andronicus this year is up there. Blue Man Group is less a concert than musical theatre, but that may be one of the greatest experiences of my life.
>Favorite live album
Stop Making Sense, The Name of This Band is Talking Heads, The Last Waltz, Elvis Costello at Hollywood High '78 just off the top of my head are some great ones. Don't really have a favorite.
>Testicle Show
If we can travel through time, there's not much I wouldn't do to see some of the DC punk/post-hardcore scene in the early 90's. Nation of Ulysses in '91? Holy fuck that would be magic.
>Did you see any good shows this year?
Tame Impala twice, Unknown Mortal Orchestra(and went backstage with them), American Football, NMH, Wilco, Fidlar twice, Viet Cong, Built to Spill, Kurt Vile, The Weeknd, Father John Misty
>What shows are you going to in 2016?
Whoever is at Shaky Knees
Best show I've ever seen was Neutral Milk Hotel, honestly. But Father John Misty had a kickass performance and Viet Cong was incredible. All of the shows I saw were good
Favorite Live album is pic related
I'd have killed a man to see LCD Soundsystem's last show at MSG
>>61188676
Some of the best concerts I've been to (and probably half of all shows overall), I've gone to alone. You can talk to random people, or not, but even for a shy person like me it's easy to insert yourself into a conversation someone around you is having. You automatically have something in common with them since you're both seeing the same band. If there are no shows close to you that you'd want to see, don't stress, but you shouldn't let lack of interest from friends stop you from going to a show you might like.
I'd suck Fripp's dick if he got back together with Belew to another Double Trio era King Crimson with the Absent Lovers setlist.
>Did you see any good shows this year?
Only saw two shows this Sun Kil Moon and Florence + the Machine and they were both great.
>Shows for 2016
None atm
>Best show i been to
Three standout shows for would be Radiohead, Jack Dejohnatte and Cat Power.
>Favourite Live Album
Pic related
>show i wish i went to
Sonic Youth and Fugazi. Also John Coltrane or Charles Mingus
>That band you fell in love with too late to see live
What's her name, /mu/?
>>61190061
Ween, although there is still some hope.
>>61190061
Fugazi
>>61190061
Fishmans
Saw Built to Spill twice and modest mouse, MM sucked which met expectations
>>61190753
I saw MM this year, thought they were decent. They opened with King Rat which ruled.
>>61190061
Number Girl
This is my favorite album right now, live or non. One of the most rewarding albums out there if you're farmiliar with Fishmans' discography, even if you don't enjoy them that much.
>>61190753
mm's new, bad album detracts from their whole thing. like they were a tight 90s indie band with a pretty consistent discog but now it's tainted with how horribly they're milking their past success. they're not the first band to do that but it's a bummer.
>>61190910
Agreed.
This is literally the best live album to ever exist.
Containing the best of their discography in the best renditions and ending with the best song (Long Season) and the story behind the album and how it was their last show and Shinji Sato's angelic voice...
It's all just so rewarding.
11/10
>>61190910
I'm saving my first listen for the 28th. I've been listening to them a lot lately, I think they're part of my top 5 artists now.
>>61191121
>tfw it'll never be on vinyl
maybe a repress someday?? Probably not tho ;_;
>>61191139
Wew. It's quite the listen. Have fun.
>>61191213
It is on vinyl.
It's part of this box-set collection, which is the most rarest fucking thing in the world, it's near impossible to find it anywhere.

It's in my wantlist anyway
It also has Long Season on vinyl AND THAT KILLS ME
I can't even go to live shows anymore because my friend I usually go with always gets drunk and obnoxious and ruins it for me. I wouldn't mind if I was also drunk but I am the one to drive so can't drink much.
I don't enjoy shows as much with him, but don't enjoy them alone either. I need new friends.
>>61191269
>>61191243
>have: 2
kill me.
>>61191243
Well, it has a collection of 13 LPs, so it was already super expensive launching at some obscene price like $300. This was also before vinyl got super popular again, so it was already pretty limited in production.
Maybe we can petition Polydor for a reissue?
>>61191301
One of them is a /mu/tant.

If you want one, you're going to have to work for it.

Hay
I saw Unknown Mortal Orchestra here in NZ the other day, and in the South Island too which is kinda crazy because we rarely have anyone decent come down here.
It was my first proper show and it cool, I mean it's great to actually see these people you like in person and they do a lot more with the songs than what's actually on the albums. There were a lot of sweet extended solos.
There were a lot of more alternative looking mu-tier girls there as well but of course I could never just start talking to a random person.
Another problem is I'd rather just sit down because it's sore standing on my feet for so long and it's hard on my back after a while too and the drinks are insanely overpriced to the point where I thought I might've just thrown them at the bartender in a rage when they told me how much they cost.
I've also seen that Mac DeMarco is coming down here too next year which is absolutely insane to me again, because like I said we very rarely get anyone 'big'. Seems like tickets have sold out some places tho so I need to have another look. I'd be heartbroken if I couldn't see him live.
>>61191444
LIL FUCK IS THAT REAL
IS IT YOURS
>Did you see any good shows this year?
The only show I saw this year was the Detroit Jazz Festival, which was pretty good.
>What shows are you going to in 2016?
We'll see desu. Whatever I can get a photo pass for.
>What's the best show you've been to?
Rush, Clockwork Angels Tour, 2012
>Favorite live album/concert film?
Pulse
>What's a show you'd give one of your testicles to see in person?
A R.E.M. show.
>>61191444
Oh, hi.
How does that actually sound? Where do they even do the side change?
Also, what is life like with one less kidney? Is there a noticeable difference?
>>61191444
What the fuck how much did you spend on that
Best was Thurston Moore and also enjoyed Chemical Brothers
>>61191444
How the fuck do you have that
And why are you browsing /mu/ when you can be outside your billion dollar estate, swimming in your chocolate pool?
The only shows I can even remember seeing this year wasTHEESatisfaction/Sleater-Kinney and Sufjan Stevens, both in Nashville.
THEESatisfaction were great and Sleater-Kinney were good. I went to see Sufjan w/ my dad--he was upset he didn't do more banjo-centric music (he's not a fan of his electronic stuff). But I had a great time, glad I finally got to see him live. My favorite show of the year.

Yeh. I got it for ~$600 on a proxy Japanese bidding website. I'd been saving money and making steady income for like 2 years and hadn't been compelled to ever spend it on non-music/computer stuff, so I bought this. It sounds great. The very subtle break between part 3 and part 4 is where the flip happens.
I'd been browsing for a copy of this box set for over a year or so, and this was the first time I found it for under $1000, and it was mint. Not rich at all, just a really great find.
Pic is the side shot.
>>61191664
I've posted this before, but pic is everything it comes with.

Idk what the other four are but I fucking hate you. Lucky bastard.
>>61191687
>>61191664
I'm literally crying right now
I want that so bad ;-;
>>61191664
>>61191687
How do you enjoy the poo poo sounds on vinyl? ;^)
>>61191664
Good on you dude. I'm happy for you.
See, even normal people can have nice things if they are wise and careful with their money.
>>61191687
>>61191664
How did you get that thing shipped overseas? Looks like a nightmare.
How does 98.28.12 work? I'm guessing it's a triple album with a song or two cut?
>>61191718
Two of them are live albums, and I think one of them might be an EP. Not entirely sure what the last one is.
>>61191664
You've now inspired me to stop spending my money like it's going out of style. Thanks.
Thank you, Anon with wise spending habits.
>>61191781
4xLP
Last LP is just Long Season cut in half.
>>61191781
>>61191718
Season single. It's a single version of Long Season with the same lyrics, but a completely different song. Very underrated, I would suggest looking it up. Also Walking in the Rhythm single + remixes, In the Air single, and a live album. Really good, but not as good as the 98 live album.
>>61191777
>>61191820
I'm not careful with my money or anything, I'm just boring and don't buy a lot of shit.
>>61189079
Post rare fripps and wish some day KC will get back to glory.
>>61191904
Well, I think that's being careful in some sense.
I'm kind of the same because pretty much all media I indulge in I can torrent for free but I make so little money right now I don't really save anything. Not a bad lifestyle in the now but it can't really last forever.
The back.
I also won a Fishmans tablature book on Buyee. I'll be sure to upload scans of it.
>>61191995
This is me. I probably would spend more money, but spend next to nothing on non-physical media, which is all I do all day.
>>61191905
While they probably will never get to Absent Lovers or The Great Deceiver quality ever again, their current tours are pretty good. They play a lot of classics like Starless and 21st Century Schizoid Man, but don't really touch the 80s, 90s, or early 00s much.
I wish he would invite Belew back and get Bruford back on the drums. While Mastelotto and Jakszyk aren't bad by any means, they just aren't the same. Glad to see Levin back on Bass/Stick, though; Gunn kinda sucks.
>>61191997
You're a god, anon.
Could you also upload a scan of the Long Season cover? There aren't many high-res photos of it online.
>>61191997
You're the god of /mu/ for this.
Do you have any idea where this auction is that you bought it from?
>>61192063
Sure. I may go to kinkos tomorrow to do some stuff.
>>61192112
Buyee.jp, a proxy service for a few Japanese bidding websites.
They charge too much for service fees on every order. I couldn't recommend it, but most proxy services are terrible anyways. As a non-Japanese, you really have almost no choice.
>>61191905
Fripp was so cute in that video. He tries so hard to seem like he's above it all when he's alone, but he absolutely melts around his wife and bunny.
>>61192193
Look at me
I've already come across something I want
good fuck, I'm going to be visiting this site with copious amounts of money one day
>>61192280
shit forgot the pic
>>61191664
Didn't read thread, what is this and why is everyone going crazy over it?
>>61192313
Fishmans - Rock Festival
Vinyl releases of their most famous releases
Absurdly limited in release, and typically sells for over a thousand bucks. Anon lucked out and got it for around 600.
It's the holy grail for a lot of people here.
>>61192313
FIshmans box set collection.
It's just a fucking rare ass collection of LPs by a band /mu/tants unanimously love and it contains a couple of /mu/core albums
Need i explain more?
>>61192303
Nice, 9800yen isn't too bad. I end up spending 8000-14000yen a piece on figures.
>>61192303
>>61192280
I'm proud of you but
Even I wouldn't pay that much for that
>>61192313
Fishmans Rock Festival Box Set. Have you heard Long Season? It's the only way to get it on vinyl, and is extremely rare. People brought it up because of a rare live album in there, and some people mentioned me and I showed up.
>>61192313
Read the thread then you retard.
You're lucky your mom was here to spoonfed you.
>>61192370
Found 98.28.12 for 1,800 yen on CD
I know exactly what I want
Thank you anon for showing me that I can do this you are my savior jesus christ i love you
>>61192415
If you actually end up buying that, make sure to post pics here.
>>61192467
I will have to revisit the site when I have money.
I WILL buy it
>>61192585
Godspeed, anon.
>>61192585
Only 9 hours left, but the dude will probably put it back up for less when it doesn't sell.
ey, anons
i found it
This is ridiculous
>>61193175
$100,000! What a steal!
>>61193175
>>61193201
I saw that, it's more $8246.06
I thought the dude was fucking nuts for spending $600 on vinyl, but it actually seems like a huge bargain now.
>>61193201
And rich anon-kun bought it for $600
I'm going to try to buy it for $600 one day also
LMAO never affording $100,000 for a bunch of LPs sorry
>>61193175
kek
>Did you see any good shows this year?
a few. The Pop Group, John Cale, Thurston Moore Band, Fleetwood Mac, Stephen Malkmus and The Jicks, Jessica Pratt.
>What shows are you going to in 2016?
Brian Wilson, hopefully The Jesus and Mary Chain.
>What's the best show you've been to?
too many to mention. a real highlight would have been Ariel Pink in 2012. caught him on a really good night. everything just came together perfectly.
>Favorite live album/concert film?
The Velvet Underground live 1969
>What's a show you'd give one of your testicles to see in person?
I'm not sure? i like my testicles. probably like Talking Heads or Yellow Magic Orchestra.
>>61193949
Oh shit, how was the Pop Group?
>>61193949
also saw american football. wasn't a fan initially but walked out impressed.
>>61194001
they were good man. they played a fair bit of new stuff that was a bit average but overall it was a worthwhile show. not many people there though.
>>61194080
That sucks. I imagine not many people can like them any more because of the p4k review.
>>61191687
>>61191664
Can you please, please take Hi res pics of the covers art? Specially Walking In The Rhythm, I want some Fishmans wallpapers
Please
>>61191997
Yes please upload it when you get it, I love you anon
>>61194080
Where did you see them?
>>61194296
Like I said, I'm gonna go to kinkos tomorrow so I can scan everything. I have a scanner/printer, but it's not big enough for LPs. I'll upload everything I get.
Just search the archive for "fishmans wallpaper" any time after tomorrow and you'll find it.
