Went to see Imagine Dragons with my sons last night. Opening act was Grace Vanderwaal, who was the 12 year old that won AGT with her original songs and her uke a couple years ago. Seems like a sweet kids but a lousy concert act. no presence.
The dragons were fine. Reynolds has a better voice than I expected but they processed his vocals so heavily that iot was hard to be sure, at times. pretty muddy sound which I attributed to pre-recorded tracks being thrown in. A very oddly slow and lugubrious cover of part of the police's Every Breath You take. ANd the show languished a bit in the middle. But, on balance, it was a fun show at this venue, where we were on the grass and had groupon cheap tickets.PLesa excuse the tpyos.

I saw Jack White last night at the Chelsea Tower inside the Cosmopolitan. Super cool venue. The floor literally bounces with the crowd.
Jack was great. Played a nice mix of new stuff, White Stripes stuff, a couple Raconteurs songs, and a cover of two. No Dead Weather songs, unfortunately.
Very fun show. He basically took the stage and didn’t stop playing until the set was over. Lots of funky jams and riffs between songs, which would eventually segue into another song. It was fun to see how soon you could recognize the next song. Most of the time for me it was not until the actual song started playing.
They then played a 4-5 song encore, ending with Seven Nation Army. What an ending. The place was completely rocking, literally and figuratively. Tons of energy and tons of fun.
His current she-drummer, Carla Azar, kicks arse. Seriously, she was amazing. I was so impressed that she was the first thing I looked up when I got my phone back (yep, no phone concerts are a thing, I guess). I never saw the Stripes when Meg was the drummer, but I’d be surprised if she was as good as this lady.

Ugh. Love me some Jack White. I was going to go to this show in phoenix but got sold out of the pre-sale b/c I was lazy."I'm anti, can't no government handle a commando / Your man don't want it, Trump's a bitch! I'll make his whole brand go under,"

My wife is a huge Brandon Boyd fan girl. So we went and saw Incubus. They're always entertaining. And Brandon made Gidget's dreams come true when he removed his shirt for the second half of their set. The opening act was Spirit Animal and they were rad. The coolest part was the venue. Saw it at The National in Richmond. All GA and small and intimate. I will definitely be looking for more shows to attend there.

"...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."
