Looks like they are having an American Express front of the line sale on Friday for John Mayer. Although people probably already knew that...I thought I would pass it on.

[HotHotHeat]

Definitely going to John Mayer. Guy puts on a great show.

[Mayer]

Definitely going to John Mayer. Guy puts on a great show.

Yeah, just got my tickets for the Calgary show today. 11th row on the floor. Can't wait.

[fatso]

I'm not a huge John Mayer fan. But I liked some of his early songs and did think 'Continuum' was a great record. Nonetheless I saw him a couple years ago in Ontario. Good show... way different than I was expecting. That dude plays a mean guitar and as a fan of the frets I was very impressed. I don't know about his new stuff, so I'll probably skip this go-round

Off to see The Swell Season tomorrow in Van. Should be an excellent show. I've seen The Frames before and they were great.

[malcolmk14]

Got four tickets to Mayer today on the floor, Row 15. So excited, guy is one of the most talented guitar players out there.

[Mango]

There's another pre-sale for John Mayer on Friday starting at 10am to 10pm. The code is mayer.

I'm looking forward to the show :)

I love his use of a teleprompter in the second video....hahahahahaha....yes, yes indeed I would go to see that

[Machi]

I've been wanting to see John Mayer live for the longest time!!!
but the day he plays in Calgary (or anywhere close), I'll be out of the country! :( :whaa:

Although to be fair to myself, this has typically been an "upcoming concerts in an around Calgary" thread. Not upcoming concerts anywhere in the world, because then it would be a pretty big, non-useful thread. ;)

You say Party! We say Die! was pretty good last night at HiFi.

Our Lady Peace will be performing their album "Clumsy" in it's entirety at the Jack Singer concert hall on May 10th and 11th.

That would be a great show to see.

[AFireInside]

I'm really excited about seeing The Dwarves on New Years, at the Distillery, but I doubt many here would know them. :D

Just bought tickets to the May 11th show last night. The May 10th show is sold out. If you want to go, buy tickets now.

A recent review after playing the Beacon in New York at this link:

http://www.nypost.com/p/entertainment/music/item_D4zSvPZBHQbiF2eSt65QiI

He has a new album out.

Interestingly, while he tours almost continuously, he doesn't go overseas much but every once in a while . . . . . it would be kind of cool to catch him in a snowy Paris or a toasty Perth.

[Winsor_Pilates]

For anyone coming to Van for the Olympics, there's a boatload of free concerts being played at a setup called LiveCity in Yaletown, and a few at Livecity Downtown.

All are free, but limited numbers so there will be huge lineups for some of the big ones:
Standouts for me include Wilco, Sam Roberts, Deadmau5, Damien Marley & more...

Full List of Performers (http://www.livecityvancouver.ca/downloads/LiveCity%20Vancouver%20Performers.pdf)

[Got Miikka?]

Wow, free Wilco. And they have a nearly two-hour slot. Anyone in Vancouver at the time who doesn't go to this is an idiot.

[Winsor_Pilates]

While I agree it's somewhat idiotic to miss such a good oppurtunity, there is a little thing called the Olympics on at the same time and I can understand why some might have other plans.:)

August Burns Red, A Day to Remember

Great show, tight band and a excellent set. If you like great guitar and blues rock check him out when he hits town.

One crappy thing about the Megadeth tour, Glenn Drover will be filling in for Alex Skolnick. I mean, he's a decent player but Skolnick is unreal.

Wilco put on an awesome show last night. Only problem was the typical lame Calgary crowd, sat through the entire thing.

The guitarist was insane, don't know his name but he was a one man wrecking crew.

I agree... show was outstanding and it sounded amazing!

The crowd was lame but the venue isn't really a stand up type place ( although there was a guy right by me that would argue that point). It's unfortunate becasue I would love to move with the music (kind of like dancing but really white and not very good at all) but I certainly would hate to sacrifice the sound the Jubilee has to offer with a band like Wilco. I think seeing them at Mac Hall just wouldn't do them any justice.

I tried to go, someone was selling front row tickets on Ebay-I lowballed offering face value and was turned down-I assume the tickets went unused.

I don't think that it is a case of Calgary being any more or less lame than other cities. A concert hall like the Jube or the Jack Singer lends itself well to sitting.

It isn't a Calgary thing - it's a concert hall thing.

I just found out former local Punk act Downway is getting back together for one show-March 27th at the Distillery. These guys were just hitting their stride when they broke up-looking forward to seeing them again.

I don't know, I think it has to do more with the demographic of the crowd. The Tragically Hip played 3 shows at the Jube in Septemeber, and the entire crowd on the floor had no problem standing for the whole show.

I was there as well and it was great. I definitely would have preferred an open air concert to get that perfect mellow camping feeling that only Tom Petty can provide. He worked the crowd in a totally cliche way, but it still seemed really genuine, so it was great.

Megadeth show as great last night. All 3 bands were in top form, not a bad word to say about the performances, completely professional and worth every dollar. Watching Rust played from start to finish was incredible.

Have to complian though, the Big 4 building is a horrible venue, hard to see the stage from even 50' back, then there is the issue of the 3 huge pillars blocking the view. Sound quality of the room is laughable, 3/4 back all you can hear is a wash of noise.

The bands didn't even have room to raise their backdrops, half of Megadeth's banner was obscured by the drumkit. The promoter also made the ridiculously amateur decision to have the entire crowd enter through a single door. One person at a time is no way to have thousands of people enter a venue, had to wait outside in line for 45 mins.

After all the shows that come to town is incredible how this promoter can screw up the details so badly.

I went too. My problem was the fact that everyone felt they had to be right on me the entire show. Exodus was fine, I had a bit of space, for Testament I had a bit of space. For Megadeth it felt like I was in a men's prison showerhouse. I am a tall guy 6'4", but I have the upperbody strength of a 12 year old girl. With that said, when they started pushing enough for me to bump the hot chick next me, that was enough. I pushed this one sweaty fat mofo about 6 feet away. He comes back to me like "what the hell man?" and was seriously PO'd. I know it is heavy metal, but we don't have to act like demented retards.

Oh and I can see now why they have rules (most concerts) for no photography. I could see about 13 cameras/phones in front of me almost the entire Megadeth show. The one jerk-off in front of me filmed the entire show on his iPod nano, and I almost got tempted enough to just grab it from him and toss it across the room. And it wasn't like I was in the back, I was about 30 feet from the stage.

Got to disagree on the sound of the bands though. Exodus sounded like crap IMO, everything was way too distorted, Testament and Megadeth were fine.

Holy crap - cool picture!

I'm so mad at myself that I didn't go to the Toronto show as well, it was such a fantastic show, I could watch it several times. It's a shame they don't come around more often.

Compared to the set list from other recent shows however, the show in Detroit skipped at least one song that I really wanted to hear. I'm not sure why, I hear it was because of the time constraints at the venue setting up for another show the next night. That was a bit of a disappointment, but not enough to take away from a great night overall.

Seeing them at Wembley is on my bucket list!

[chalms04]

Tomorrow!

Pre-game festivities at the Unicorn if anyone wants to join.

[FlamingInfinity]

Thursday for Muse for me. I'm super stoked, and after them, I'm really hoping for Rammstein to come on through North America as well. Then I'll have my top 3 bands seen live. Chalms, enjoy, and I would join you, but alas, I am in Van-city.

Buddy Guy and Johnny Lang last night at the Jack Singer... Buddy Guy did the exact same show he did last time he was here a year and a half ago kind of disapointing, but the guy is a friggin legend so we'll let it slide this time... Johnny Lang was unreal man can he blaze he alone was worth the price - new generation of Blues legends!

Anyone know where I can round up a presale code for todays tickets?

[3 Justin 3]

Anyone know when the Maiden tickets will go on sale and through who? Ticketmaster again?

Wait, Boblobla, they're on sale today?

Edit: Just checked out Ticketmaster and it says 10:00am today.

Last time for the Edmonton show I just googled "pre-sale code iron maiden" and I found it in like 5 minutes, try doing the same, I'll do it now and see if I can find it.

If I can't post back try "Guitar" or "eddie" or "Eddy", for the edmonton show "Guitar" worked.

Although, the pre-sale may be for iron maiden club members only, which means we're screwed until Thursday, maybe I'll pay the 10 quid and sign up.

[Boblobla]

I paid my 10 quid.

Waiting for my presale code to be PMed.

[3 Justin 3]

When did you sign up, just now?

Edit: Well I just signed up, hopefully I get the pre-sale code soon. Off to school to drop off my paper, hopefully will have it when I get back.

Limp Bizkit? Really? People still pay money to see Limp Bizkit? Rest of the festival looks decent, but I'd pretty much skip the third entirely if it weren't for Cypress Hill and Band of Horses.

Rush has a new album out next year, but they will be touring this summer to test out some of their new material as well as songs from Moving Pictures; hope to see them in Chicago

[3 Justin 3]

I finally gave in and took Row 10 in Section 110 (8 seats from Bobloblo, hehe). I'll try later today if I can get some 108's or 109's.

I think 107 will be too sideways for me and I'd rather be a bit further away, but with a better angle to view the show.

You can get a maximum of 4 tickets per pre-sale code, so I can still buy two between now and Thursday, depending on demand I may do it.

First of all, they can suck a **** for going after our own Neil Young, and secondly, I'm pretty sure they're down to about 1 or 2 original members. I mean, the lead singer is the brother of the original lead singer, and he's this dorky loser who chews gum like dumbass the whole show.

He looks like the little nerdy brother that would hang around the band, and get told to GTFO away from the band because he's so annoying.

RVZ and Neil were buds. The whole feud thing is an urban legend.

That's what I have heard as well. There were a couple of political lyrics tossed back and forth in a couple of songs, but there seems to be respect between the two entities.

[kipperfan]

BOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Skynyrd - RVZ = the suck

Whatever man. I am looking forward to this show like no other, obvoiusly I would have liked to see them + RVZ but we are 30+ years too late for that. I think Skynyrd with SVZ is still pretty dam sweet and I will most certainly be there, especially during Stampede, this show is going to be great!

[kipperfan]

This is 100% true - RVZ and the rest of Skynryd loved Neil Young - in fact Young wrote a song for them to record also IMO.

It's ticketmaster-should be legit. They did this last time as well, then added the Calgary date before they went onsale.

[flip]

Also, I've checked around and Tool have confirmed a summer tour. They are touring before the new album, which I love because then we get new material in its rough form and before we have the album yet.

It appears Edm and Van were just the two first dates confirmed.

[Drury18]

It drives me nuts that Calgary doesn't seem to get any good outdoor music feestivals, especially for rock fans.....i'm sure lots of people on here remember how awesoem Edgefest was back in the late 90's and the crowds were always there, I never figured out why they stopped doing them. Edmonton gets Boonstock, Sonicboom and any festival that is touring seems to go to Commonwealth. Hell, Winnipeg is getting an awesome festival called Rock on the Range this year adn thats the second year in a row. I know we have gotten Virgin Fest and Warped Tour but it boggles my mind how concert promoters can't bring a big outdoor music fest yearly to Calgary....sorry for the rant!!

I actually really enjoyed the seated floor last time. Apparently it was the promoter/bands choice to have a seated floor.

I think it is because tool views their shows more as an experience than a show to mosh to. I sat 3rd row last time and it was nice to just sit back and enjoy the show (even though I spent the whole show standing up).

I was 4th row the last show, pretty awesome-I like the floor when it's not oversold-when they came for the previous tour-they way undersold the floor and It was great to be able to move around a bit but still be nice and close

I believe it was due to the uncertainty of Race City Speedway when they were booking it.I always found Race City Speedway to be a strange choice of venue for Warped Tour. I think McMahon would be a better choice. Of course I'm aware of past issues with hosting concerts there.

I rarely use presales. Most concerts I go to I just buy floor tickets the day of or a couple of days before. But that only works if the floor is GA.

Apparently once they set up the stage they are able to determine how much GA floor room they have they release extra tickets based on the size of the floor. That might be total BS though. I heard that somewhere.

Last time Tool came around they had a seated floor though...

4 GA Floors for Tool-Done. I do hope they stop in Calgary though...

If they go to Calgary and you wanna sell your Edmonton ones. I will buy them in an instant.

Why?
they have a crazy stage set up that you couldnt really see form the floor as the floor of the stage is incorporated I guess. I am sure floor would be sick too though.

The Reverend Horton Heat is playing the Republik on August 4th. I got my tickets this morning from Unionevents.com for only $25 a pop. I think I will be having an awesome birthday this year!

Nice, I saw them last fall with Motorhead-my least favorite time seeing them, I guess I don't really dig them as an opening act. I will try to make this, and am hoping the Supersuckers come through again soon as well

They don't just start at row 1 over again?

That would be awesome if they didn't.

Signed,

Row 23 2nd level.

No, the rows don't restart at Rexall.Row 23 will be close to the first row in the second bowl.

*does a happy dance*

[3thirty]

from my research row 21 is the first row second level, but that is about 8 rows higher than the first row of the second level at the saddledome since the lower level is bigger at rexall.

Yep, all bought up by those peice of garbage scalpers. They do not provide a service, they simply cause us an inconvenience and then rip us off.

If only I did...I checked the website :) I'm not sure if the Amex presale is for a certain type of card. Perhaps the gold? I'm not sure. I've never tried it to tell you the truth.
