What's their name, /mu/?
Every band because I live in the middle of nowhere
Already saw them live ;);):):):):);););););)
U know the name and ur thread Is shit
>>64676408
NMH just toured like fucking everywhere
the mountain goats
Led Zeppelin on their first US tour when no one knew who they were
just contribute to the fucking thread you overly hostile keyboard warriors
>>64676441
If you didn't see NMH live during the two fucking years they basically traveled the globe playing nonstop one last time you need to graduate high school
I saw them in Columbus and it was goddamn life changing
I miss him so much.
:(
>>64676486
>>64676509 here I feel your pain
desu I haven't gotten super into Jason's discography but I feel obligated to bc my family is from the same shitty area of Ohio he is, where do I start?
Speaking of musicians we'll never see live
>>64676441
>>64676479
i live in the middle of nowhere and yeah was in school during the time they did tour. glad you saw them live though that's not really what the thread is about.
Saw NMH two years ago, feel sorry for people who missed it, legit one of the best shows I've seen
Fortunately I got to see Jeff twice solo, in 2012 and 2014, and NMH once in 2015.
Great story though, my friend bought a ticket to see their last last last show in Petaluma, CA, where he and I are from. That's where I saw Jeff in 2014, it was either the last show of that tour or at least late in the tour and he said that it was his favorite of that stretch of shows.
So my friend buys the ticket right. He's planning on going alone because I dropped the ball and missed the opportunity to get a ticket.
The night of the show I text my friend about the show, and he told me that he FORGOT about the show, was out of town, and had no ride to get to Petaluma (still in high school at the time, no car).
My friend missed the LAST NMH show ever and he had a ticket. Terrible.
>>64676408
>tfw got to see Jeff Mangum live twice
Never got to see the full band play, though

>>64676555
I'd start with Magnolia Electric Company or Didn't It Rain. From there I'd listen to Autumn Bird Songs, Ghost Tropic, and Axxess and Ace. That should give you a taste of his range. After that, listen to whatever you want.
I was born in a town a few hours from him, my Grandpa taught him in history.
>>64676408
They played at a 21+ venue exactly one week before my 21st birthday. Pretty bummed out.
>>64676591
I had two tickets for me and my friend but we live across the country and couldn't get a ride there. Hardest tickets we've ever had to give up. I fucking lost it when I saw that they closed with Engine, which is my favorite NMH song.
>>64676565
Sorry to hear that. That's a little different.
>>64676565
Saw them 3 times and Jeff solo twice ;)
>>64676455
Saw them live at in Vermont on the Tuttlingen Warriors tour and it was fucking killer. He was great onstage, and after the show I talked with him for like 5 minutes about King Diamond. I probably still have an embarrassing ass photo of 16 year old me with John's head on my shoulder throwing up the horns
>>64676479
Man I feel like I'm the only person who did NOT enjoy seeing NMH live. I saw them in Pittsburgh and it was just so underwhelming, not even considering I had the worst seat in the house.
Jeff solo, however, was such an experience. So much more energy just by himself.
>David Bowie
never ever
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Missed them when they came too Sydney earlier this year and I don't think they're ever coming back :(
My Bloody Valentine
i know it takes them 500 years between doing anything but let's be honest here. they're never touring again
>just fucking stop being an award winning producer Congleton
Coil
Prince
DMBQ with China drumming
Green Milk From the Planet Orange
>>64676975
>DMBQ with China drumming
elaborating on this one, they are a japanese psych rock band known for really wild live shows. the legends I heard about this drummer were ridiculous. dismantling the drum set, flinging the drums into the crowd, crowdsurfing and continuing to play the drums while the crowd held them and her aloft. shit like that.
anyway i was finally going to get to see them play in NYC, but she was literally killed in a fatal car wreck while the band was driving en route to the very show.
fuck.
I actually had tickets to see them play their reunion show on Melloboat, and flew to Europe to do it, and wound up missing the boat through a series of logistical mishaps.
The tickets were like $1000 usd apiece
the cure because sydney tickets are already sold out
>>64676707
Yeah Engine was the encore when I saw them
>>64677095
this didn't happen
>>64677646
which part seems implausible to you?
Talking Heads
"We only go on tour when we feel like we have a message to say." -David Byrne (paraphrased)
And apparently they didn't have anything to say after Speaking In Tongues, go figure. Not to mention that the rest hated Byrne.
>>64676707
Sean?
>>64676680
Sorry about that sean :(
The Knife
Never get to see mahler conduct. He was supposed to be an amazing conductor fro. What I've read and heard from members of the new York Philharmonic
I seriously doubt they're coming back to Australia. It wasn't mentioned on the announced tour dates. I almost saw Gira solo but he cancelled because of that fucking scandal.
To All My Friends
F-fugazi. Will they ever reunite?

how is his singing live? the videos of him back in the 90s sound great but he doesn't seem to have it anymore
Rachel's
>>64678686
he still played a gig here and there even in his couple years before death
i mean, the kid never toured or anything but small shows still count
>>64676856
he stopped touring in the early 2000s anyway didn't he?
KYUSS
Kyuss Lives is disappointing.
>>64676408
I saw their last concert last year. Felt good, man.

kevin still owes us an EP that was supposed to come out like 3 years ago.
desu I can see them going on tour this year or next, but who knows when/if we'll get new music.
>>64677095
only a handful of old dudes from way back heard of them at that point. its a very unlikely story
Ramones.
They broke up the year I was born.
>>64676421
this
living here sucks
>>64678404
The Norwich gig I booked for got cancelled, and I don't think it's realistic to think I could get to any of the gigs on the upcoming tour. Gutted doesn't even begin to cover it.
>>64678686
>"you will NEVER EVER see them live"
Its not just dead people
>>64679665
Huh, I live in Norfolk too.
Don't listen to Swans though.
>>64678719
They seem to kind of reverb up his voice, but i've heard his voice sounds great in person. I missed it though.
>>64678404
>TFW they're planning to come down to the land of steers and queers
>>64676408
Bowie
>>64676408
saw them 2014 not really hyped but after that gig I wish I could see them again once now Is one of my favorites band ever
>>64676927
At least Congleton has a new solo album out.
>>64678480
never anon
it's okay I feel it too
>>64676596
uhhhhhhh :(
>>64676882
They're already coming back to the UK after less than a year, it's certainly possible
>>64678480
Hopefully never.
Look what happened to Black Flag, Refused and ATDI.
You could still see The Evens live though
>>64678790

Jdimsa
>>64676882
Oh shit, just found out they're playing in my city in August. I missed them last February.
I actually turned down a few free opportunities to see them in the last couple years. Part of my decision came from knowing that their crowds are some of the most fucking obnoxious on the planet, and shit I've been to a Primus concert. I DO NOT want to stand around listening to the fucking crowd shout every lyric to every song. That's the lamest fucking shit. I want to hear THE BAND. On top of all that, when I started looking into their web presence I realized that Jeff is a huge pretentious faggot that just tries to be weird to be weird, and the whole anal "no photos at shows plz" thing is fucking gay.
>>64676421
yep
i drove like 7 hours to see radiohead though because i was scared they would break up before i saw them
>>64676882
I saw them twice when they were in Adelaide. In fucking Adelaide. I still can't believe it.
That being said, they deliberately have no stage presence. They walk on in the dark, play their set in the dark, walk off in the dark.
>>64676813
I was the first in line outside the venue when I saw them, and then when I got in and had bought a shirt, I made a bee line to where I knew Jeff would be. It was amazing. So maybe your placement was the reason you had an underwhelming experience.
The Beastie Boys are my favourite band of all time, but I'll never see them because MCA died.
I guess my teenage self would say My Chemical Romance too, though to be honest I can't see them not ever doing a reunion tour.
>>64682220
>I DO NOT want to stand around listening to the fucking crowd shout every lyric to every song
Why do you still go to shows then?
>>64676486
me too :(

saw them in Barcelona like 5 years ago. Loved the album but the show was not good.
who else here was at the nmh prospect park show in 2014?
that was honestly the best gig I ever went to, I was right up front
>>64678684
There is hope for this honestly

yes you will he's touring right now retard
i'm seeing him in Iowa in october
>>64676441
this
Fuck I drove to Iowa City to see them since on that last leg they didn't go to Minnesota and I stood in line for like 5 hours and was at the front with some other guy from /mu/ that i drove with me, stood at the divider bar. One of the best experiences of my life.
>>64684571
They played at First Ave a couple of years ago m8
12 rods :(
Talking Heads
>>64676408
The artist formerly known as Prince.
Pink Floyd in 1975
Led Zeppelin in 1975
Count Basie Orchestra (w/ Count Basie)
NMH in Boston was perhaps the best show I've ever been to. I expected it to be mostly Jeff sitting down treating everyone to a very stripped-down, intimate rendition of their songs, but fucking NOPE, they came out guns blazing to every song, sounded like Aeroplane getting an adrenaline shot. Was amazing.
>>64678151
Nah not me
>>64677492
I saw the video. Fucking heartbreaking that I couldn't be there. And they played Little Birds instead of Engine when they came to my city which is still pretty cool I guess but I'll never get to see that song live.
>>64676441
>>64676479
>tfw I live in Puerto Rico
>>64684571
Yo! I stood next to you outside the IMU. I'm the guy that ordered pizza. That show was amazing.
>>64676408
I don't want to see them live. For me, the music exists outside of reality. For me to see someone sing it right in front of me would ruin the wonder of it all.
Led Zepplin
At least i got to see Black Sabbath.
maudlin of the fucking Well
why even live?
>>64682220
You're a fucking idiot top fucking kek
Jeff and co have been into Dadaism since before you were born faggot. That's what all that "weirdness" is about - it's just dadaism and surrealism.
And nobody fucking sings along like holy shit are you serious. I saw them here in Houston and everyone was quiet and just enjoyed the show.
Bowie, Reed ;_;
>>64682220
You must be fun at parties. You know the band has amplifiers so you can hear them over the crowd right?
>>64682220
>the whole anal "no photos at shows plz" thing is fucking gay.
It's a simple request, what's wrong with that?
I don't understand why some people get so butthurt when artists (Fripp / NMH et al) don't want photography or recordings at their shows.
It's not an unreasonable request, and there's no good reason not to have the courtesy to honor that request.
Folks wittier than me have expressed the idea as: "Hey, how about living your life instead of recording it and watching it later?"
Then again, I'm the kind of guy who doesn't even take many pictures when I travel. IMHO it's better to be there in the moment than try to capture it to enjoy later.
>>64684571
Ayyy lmao. I was here too. I didn't think there would be a huge line so I got there kinda late and had a terrible spot. One of the best concerts I've been to.
>>64682220
this is bait rite?
>>64684571
No fucking shit, I was the girl with the guy with the curly hair. That's crazy that you're a /mu/ guy too! How are you man?
>>64685822
>>64687147
whoops sorry i suck at replying haha
>>64676408
I saw NMH twice when they toured. Why didn't you?
At the show they played in Kentish Town Mangum said that this would be the last time they would play for a long, long time.
Shout out to that /mu/tant who's friend fainted when Mangum came out.
Also to that 5'4" /mu/tant in the Swans, Filth shirt
>>64681247
Except the Evens haven't played in like 2 years and probably have no plans to return.

>>64686750
We got there so early because i was determined to get a good spot. Line got so long at the end.
>>64676408
Saw them twice lmao
Once was a solo show from just Jeff, next was the whole band
Get rekt faggot

This was in 2008, long after they had already been rediscovered. In fact it was on the strength of that that they reunited at all.
You know the internet WAS around at this point right? People didn't happen start learning about obscure 60s and 70s bands like United States of America and Comus at the same time YOU became old enough to post on /mu/
It's would also be such a bizarre thing to make up.

not the guy you replied to, but taking a picture can take less than 5 seconds and you get a permanent memento
i'm far more sympathetic to anti-recording requests, though the argument "life live now instead of later" doesn't really make too much sense, as you can easily enjoy a show record at the same time (not that i would personally)

The artists requesting this shit are pretentious assholes. It's not 1931 anymore, people can take pictures of you without stealing your soul or blinding you with a flash.

>>64676408
saw them live, but since i bought tickets late and the fucker doesn't like cameras, they were too fucking far
>>64676656
when I saw them they only performed for like 45 minutes, they were all drunk as fuck and sounded awful, and they kept pulling down the projector screen in front of the stage. It was funny for like 5 minutes but it ended up being one of the worst live shows I've ever been to. Maybe they were all having a bad day or something.
