Anyone going to these shows this weekend?

JGB on Saturday / Legion on Sunday
Problem is, the tickets are by the 4-person carload.... if anyone needs a seat filler to bring down the cost, I'll be driving down from Shasta that morning.

The state of live music in
The state of live music in 2021 (so far)
This could be very good music, especially with Dave Ellis on sax stretching out the LOM material. I got excited temporarily But...
No spot taken. $160 per person with fees (the going rate?) is too much money for 2-3 hours of entertainment, for my personal sensibilities and bankroll. That's the bottom line.
It's a good thing that bands are gigging, business is happening and people are enjoying. I understand why the prices have to be what they are, and begrudge nobody an opportunity to make up for lost time and $$$. No sour grapes.
I want to go to shows, but am in no hurry, so there is no reason to be squeezed by market conditions for something not necessary. Pandemic has helped me be more patient, disciplined, and frugal than ever before. I'll just simply wait to see live shows until bands can play full rooms, schedule more gigs at more venues, that compete with each other, so then there will be more supply, less demand and lower prices, at least for some shows and on the secondary markets.
observation: Phish at $95 + fees seems like a bargain compared to these neo-post-pandemic events.

If it is $160 per car for 2-4
If it is $160 per car for 2-4 people, I stand corrected on the price and the value. Thanks. But $40/person seems too cheap, which is why I assumed otherwise! Not a complaint. I don't understand why they would go that low, from a business perspective. They could easily charge $60 per person, and that would seem very fair, relative to what else is going on. Maybe they hope to squeeze a lot of cars in? or perhaps they expect a bunch of 2 person carloads, and overall it works out to about $60/person. Just thinking out loud here, trying to understand neo-post-pandemic event economics.

I'm going to the Legion of Melvin show as it's a great line-up. I'm not so sure about the concept of a drive-in concert but thought I'd give it a whirl.....

The Meester lives! Pass him
The Meester lives! Pass him this joint, please. The whole joint. Everybody gets their own. Martin gets 2. Love that guy, and the way he lit up the room!
It's the neo-post-pandemic era. No more sharing joints and pipes with a group of freaks, at least for me. That's gross. Can't believe I did that for years. I used to always say yes if any stranger who didn't seem like a dick asked me if they could have a hit. Even if they looked like their health or hygiene was questionable, I had a hard time saying no. That's all changed, for the better. If someone friendly wants to get high, I'll gladly give them what they need. I'd buy them a drink too, their own drink, not a few sips from mine. Cheers!

^ yes I got that email too, which is good, because driving thru DC traffic on Memorial Day weekend in the rain is not my cup of tea.
However, we are jonsin for some live music -- and wife really wants to go....so we're going at least one day.
It's at a 66 acre brewery. Socially distanced. Thankfully, I heard they let you go back to the car during the show, which alleviates a lot of problems -- no gluten free beer or food at the venue so I can pack a picnic basket and it provides a dry place to wait out the storm. Very civilized in-and-out policy.

The Mare Island venue looks cool for future events...

>>>I'm not so sure about the concept of a drive-in concert<<<
I heard that the scene at the other shows they've done at this place was good, with the ability to hang out next to your car it's like a tailgate party without having to leave and cram into the venue.
If it was closer I'd consider going to this.
It's funny though, I'm not feeling that desperate to get back to shows. I wonder if I'm getting old?
I've been enjoying going to Giants games, but part of that is how great it is to be there with only 6,000 - 10,000 people in the 42,000 venue.
I must be getting old.
But you other people...
GTTS!!!

True story: I was passing by
True story: I was passing by the venue on my way home from Portland... about 30 min into the show...
... Thought I'd check out the venue and the scene at the fairgrounds since the previous 2 rest areas on the 505 were closed.
Waiting for my left turn into the fairgrounds, the traffic cop there is tending to a wreck w/ concert kids, glass everywhere. I follow an official looking car around that mess and made it to the back lot entrance--- poor signage.
I'm now listening to the opener bands on the closed circuit FM in an adjacent lot... the security guard told me I needed to wait an hour before she would let me in for free... and I didn't even ask... evidently they raised gate tickets to $160...
Guess I should go in and check it out, huh?
anyone else here?
My car has my work laptop in it and is packed to the gills w/ stuff from Portland, so didn't want to leave it to go in on a 4-person car.
105 driving through Red Bluff today but had a cosmic overnight stay on Shasta!
Sounds like they are announcing next band...

This feels like an old-school music experience...and thank heavens I'm vaccinated!
They began the set w/ Reggae Woman after a jam I didn't recognize... ended the set w/ Midnight hour... good stuff, nice to see The Kid after too long.
liquid light show is cool too
Going to pay Mr Hat Presents, the promoter, so that he can hire better security. ;-)

Set I
Set II
We had a really fun night, right in front of the stage with a loud sound system and a great mix. This was the first show i have attended since COVID started that felt like a fucking concert. We gathered with all of our friends, brought food and beverages and had good old fashioned fun dancing and grooving to great music.

Thanks for posting the set list.
The artists were having fun and playing well.
It's a lineup worth seeing... if there are any Zoners near Tennessee, I know they are playing that Caverns venue later this summer.
It was easy to go up front... the show rules were not in play like the website made it seem...

Interesting that there are no faux Jerryettes, at least for the faux JGB show. The do make a difference.
Still, this sounds good, and I bet it was three hoots to be there.
Melvin's bands continue to make great sounds, as he/they have for many years now.
Keep on keepin' on big Melvin!!!

Brings back a random memory that I had visited his next-door neighbor the day after he had passed
This kind fellow was awoken by John's wife/ woman? The night before to check on John as he was non responsive
and we happened to visit that home / family friend that one time only
still surreal
RIP with the angels/ spirits. Every moment is precious. Do something kind today
