If I had to, I would pick JRAD over Phil and/or Bob, but they don't start until 11pm or so, so I don't think they'll be any issues. Hope they compare setlists beforehand, though.
$65 for the Roseland? If RMFJ was out I'd be in. I really want to see Phil, but $65 for RMFJ at the Rose, with its sketchy PA and near strip-search entry?
JRAD starts at 11 on 4/26, it would be cutting it close. i probably would not risk missing the first song at a jrad set for a whole phil show these days...even if it didnt overlap at all, it seems like such a waste to spend 2 nights you could have spent checking out local jazz and funk sets on phil and the kids.
their highest priced ticket at the joy is well over 2x what jrad is charging...remember when TXR shows were $150 to cover the costs of pulling big name guys into a small room? now phil is charging around $70-$120 for the kiddos in large theaters?
there are going to be so many crazy late night jazz/jam sets, tons of amazing local music, plus jazzfest...i dont see the family band fitting into that. it would be like taking a break from a crazy tasting menu full of luxurious ingredients and unexpected flavors to eat a hamburger. hamburgers are good, but i wouldnt want one in the middle of one of the most varied and interesting weekends of music all year. on the other hand tho, speaking literally, id be surprised if i made it out of a week of late night music in nola without eating a single hamburger. it will be 3am at the dirtiest possible place, its going to feel like having sex with an ugly hooker, and im probably going to enjoy it quite a bit.
I will probably end up biting the bullet and getting tix for at least one night at the Roseland. Not my favorite venue either, but I will put up with that and a 25 minute bus ride to see Phil.
Yeah, that pre-sale went fastl One buddy got a Friday night, but missed on Saturday and another friend got shut out. I missed the pre-sale details and didn't try. So Friday it is.
Ironically, DSO plays the Roseland Friday and Saturday the following weekend.
I know it is a coincidence. Same thing happened last year. The reason I said “ironic” is because you go almost a year without any serious dead music in Portland (not counting JRAD and Dead Co in Eugene), then you get four shows in 8 days in February.
These prices are sad. I'd get it if there was some VIP extras to be had, while the most tickets were at a reasonable price. Need that cash to feed that Jones. Same mentality that doomed Jerry. I guess if it still gets you off. Sorta more like laying out for an hour with an older overpriced porn whore.
Are you saying The Family Band is touring to support their drug habits?
No, I'm saying what doomed Jerry was that it became more about the money than the music. It's why Jerry hated the GD near the end, and withdrew into drugs once more. It's why Phil rarely hires top musicians anymore, and even when he does, rehearsing the music isn't a cost effective priority. I am sure Phil could deliver a top notch musical tour, if he were willing to cut into the profits to make it happen. It doesn't.
I don’t even have a guess as to what that analogy means.
Why pay more for an older declining provider in their 55+, when you can get someone in their prime for half the price or less?
Phil hasn't been to Seattle since the last Further show at Marymoor. He was on retainer with Shappy so long that he forgot about us. It's good to see that Phil will travel still.
It's too bad they never use the old Eagles Auditorium (now called something like the American Contemporary Theater) for concerts anymore. The GD recorded parts of Anthem Of The Sun there. It would be a trip to see Phil back in that space. The Showbox will have to do.
Nice to hear that PDX has some interest in Phil & Family Band.
Went to TFB at Asbury Park last time around and they didn't attract much of a crowd. It was fun and all, but not inspirational or exciting.
Get to see WEEN in a couple weeks at the reconditioned Opera house in Phila. Then Billy Strings will visit the Coast 12/19 at "The Saint". Sixteen bucks and the venue is a tiny rectangle.
Those shows hold more novelty and Value (thrills per $) compared to TFB in my personal un-esteemed opinion.
If I could bring Hüsky that would be Awesome. But he prefers outdoor shows or at least a flexible re-entry venue (so he can go out for a pee).
Got tix for both nights, so did my friends who were trying. Maybe it isn't a tough ticket after all. Or perhaps it just helped to be ready right at 10:00 AM
Maybe they deliberately limited the number of pre-sale to create an artificial sense of scarcity and cause panic buying? Glad everyone who wants to go is getting in.
Tickets still available for the Showbox as well. Seattleites have always been slow on the draw when it comes to advance purchasing. I guess no one's in a hurry to see this current lineup, either.
