I guess, I forgot to post this. I saw Adelitas Way like a month ago at a small local venue. They were great.
Last night, I saw The Ghost Inside, Halestorm and Volbeat.
Volbeat is great, but I'm more of a fan of Halestorm and damn Lzzy has one hell of a screaming voice.

I did their bio on Genius. They're named after a brothel.
Adelitas Way is an American hard rock band from Las Vegas, Nevada, United States, formed in 2006 by lead singer and writer Rick DeJesus after he moved there from Philadelphia on a dare to audition for a show on VH1. The band name was inspired by a visit to a bar in Tijuana, Mexico that turned out to be a brothel, and the sad stories told by the girls who worked there at the time.
Early shows with Chris Cornell, Hinder and Tantric helped generate enough industry buzz to get the band signed to Virgin Records. The band rose to fame when their debut single “Invincible” was featured on CSI Miami and used as the theme song for the weekly WWE Superstars show in 2009. It became their first of their seven top 10 US Active Rock Chart songs over a span of ten years.
Tours with Guns N Roses, Shinedown, Creed, Alter Bridge, Three Days Grace, Halestorm, Theory of a Deadman, Breaking Benjamin, The Pretty Reckless, and Godsmack have kept the band in the active rock spotlight over the years. Starting in 2022, they began releasing several singles in anticipation of their seventh album Power, which arrived Fall 2023.

This was Friday night. Let me start by saying that, in the 25 years the (now BankNH) Pavilion in Gilford NH has been open, this is embarrassingly our first time there. It's a great place, and very "adult friendly". Parking is easy and well-coordinated, and there's an entire "town-square village" of food and concessions outside the arena. And then there's concessions and bathrooms along the perimeter of the arena too. They actually have a stage with a live band playing in the town-square, pre-concert. I wonder how many bands play there, and put it on their resumes that they played the pavilion.
Gary Clark Jr. opened, and he was great; definitely a Hendrix level guitarist. Although the number of people familiar with his music was kind-of small, and a lot of people skipped the opener. In fact, the section of seats directly in front of us (we were in the back half of the covered pavilion area) were empty for about a dozen rows. Clearly, there was a bump in price for those seats, which people deemed "not worth it". We ended up moving down into there for the main show.
The Black Keys opened with the big, bold, rippin' electric sound of just the two original members - Dan Auerbach on guitar and vocals, and Pat Carney on drums.
And then for the rest of the concert, the curtain opened to reveal the entire extended band personnel, which they now properly acknowledge (there was a time that the extra musicians were sort-of hidden).
I don't have an IRBS-like breakdown of the concert. They played songs from their new album, as well as nearly all of their older hits. Their encore was Little Black Submarines and Lonely Boy. They covered On the Road Again from Canned Heat. It was top-level musicianship and sound. And being in NH - the only New England state were pot is illegal - there was no pot smell until right near the end of the concert. Besides, it's an open-air pavilion with just a roof, so most smoking wouldn't be noticeable.
The Black Keys always emphasize their roots, coming from Akron Ohio. And they featured some of the local TV station call letters on the video screens and on stage
For the benefit of Hectic, I took a few guitar shots. Enjoy!

I don't find this to be the case. For all my reviews of Budweiser stage in Toronto, it is an open air venue. It definitely would have been worse of indoors.
I thought pot was pretty much legal everywhere now particularly in a "live free or die" state.

We saw the Keys a couple of years ago in Detroit.
They kick it for sure.
Auerbach has a few Reverend guitars (A Detroit company that relocated to Toledo 7 or 8 years ago or so) that he uses from time to time.
I thought about trying to see them again this tour, but it wasn't working out.
Gary Clark Jr is a monster! More people should know him and follow him for sure.
Thanks for the gratuitous guitar pix!

One of the many reasons we got the hell out of the Live Free and Die state, is because of their fucked-up laws. Go ahead and crack your skull open on a motorcycle, no helmet needed! No sales tax! No income tax! No car insurance! No inspections! But property tax is insane, and so is car registration.
Paradoxically, it's the only state in the northeast that hasn't legalized either cannabis or gambling. But please buy plenty of state-run liquor right on the highway, ok? Because we have to make up for the billions we're losing in potential revenue. And the state still has legalized "gay conversion" therapy.

I've played both stages. Main stage once opening for Korn. Smaller stage twice opening for Seether and 3 Doors Down.
As Trump looks at reclassifying cannabis, NH governor says state law won't change
President Donald Trump is signaling that potential changes could be coming on cannabis at the federal level, but Gov. Kelly Ayotte said any developments in Washington wouldn't change her outlook on state marijuana laws.

Ok. I see what you mean in original message. Wasn't clear to me in the quote.

We saw this new play on Friday.
The play was really fun, with the usual great music, singing, and stagecraft. It's the story of what led up to the meeting at Elvis's Bel Air mansion in 1965. But it starts with the background of where Elvis came from, and Colonel Tom Parker. And the Beatles coming to America with Brian Epstein, and playing Ed Sullivan.
Leading up to the big event (the meeting), Elvis was deep into his movie-making days, while The Beatles were topping the charts in the US. The guy playing Elvis has been a headliner out in Las Vegas. And the actors playing John, Paul, George and Ringo did a good job of capturing the essence of each of them. Other characters include Priscilla Presley, British reporter Chris Hutchins, and various other performers of the era, such as Little Richard.
For the real-life meeting that the play is based upon, there were no pictures or recordings allowed; just the recounting from the reporters, and the stars themselves. The play - of course - recreates that night as if we were there. And the play ends with a fantasy jam among them all. Very entertaining!

Just ask AI. I am sure one can be created.

That's a big part of the play, how Col Parker was so controlling over Elvis and his career.
It sounds like you've got yourself a new hobby.
