    The heart and care they put into every show is comparable to PJ. High energy, varied setlists, amazing songs, talented people. I've seen them four or five times by now, and will absolutely not miss a show if they're nearby! They're worth a shot if you've never seen them live. That's actually how I got into them, come to think of it...saw them at a festival, and needed to know more!

    Well put. They are really talented musicians. They put on a fantastic show with a mix of old bluegrass sounding tunes to full on rock n' roll anthems. Its worth seeing if you get the chance.

    "Social Distortion-House Of Blues, Las Vegas " quote from verbasan

    The last couple of times I have seen social d, Ness just doesnt seem as into it.
    5 yrs ago they were a band I would never miss. I saw them this yr in kalamazoo and it was just alright.
    Have you seen a few times? Were they just as good in Vegas?

    Worst concert year ever for me:
    1 - PJ - Cincy
    2 - 0
    3 - 0
    4 - 0
    5 - 0

    Only live music I saw a full set from all year.
    New baby in June so 1/2 the year was handling pregnant wife, 2nd half pregnant baby. Sneaking to Ohio was the best I could do.
    As much as I hate pulling 1 concert all year if I can see PJ in any given year I am a happy man.
    (Plus I have a healthy little 6 month old boy)
    The love he receives is the love that is saved

    Ive seen Social Distorition some... 15 times or so? first time was back in 2000 at the catalyst in Santa Cruz. This years Vegas show was REALLY good, i thought, Ness really seemed to be digging the crowd and vice versa. But to me the BEST show i've ever seen them put on had to be last year at the House of blues in Hollywood, set list was great, the crowd was crazy, and the band really seemed to be channeling the crazy lol. I think it may not be that he isnt into it anymore, he's just getting older. Im seeing them again on New Years Eve, i'll keep this in mind and try to make out if he seems bored, or just tired lol!!

    For those who saw Jack White how was the show you saw? I saw him at the Auditorium Theater and it seemed like he was pissed off (it was 2 days after an infamous picture of him at wrigley was all over the internet). He opened with icky thump but something must have gone wrong since the curtain closed after the song and when it came back up he as putting on a shoe (like he threw it in frustration). He babbled on so many random things like not being able to order lunch at the four seasons during tea time, or being born in the wrong decade (said he should have been born in the 1860s). Wasn't sure if it was an off night or this is just how his shows are

    I saw him at Bonnaroo at it was one of the best live performances I have ever seen. To put it in perspective though, he was the night after Kanye, who pretty much just used his headliner slot to rail against the media and hype his own ego (shocker coming from Mr. West, I know). It seemed to light a fire under Jack White the next night who played an epic 3 hour set (I believe that was the first time he had done that). Was not a huge Jack White fan prior, but that show changed that real quick.

    Watching DVD from Bonnaroo I got in his vault release right now and man is he on fire!!
    So talkative and really long jamming versions of just about everything he played that full moon night. Also played "Astro" for 1st time since final White Stripes concert in '07.
    Must have been amazing to be there!

    Band Of Horses- S. Burlington, VT<br />

    Did you get to see one of Band of Horses' ACOUSTIC shows???
    Definitely one of the BEST tours of the year!!

    I did not unfortunately. They did open up with St. Augustine (Ben solo) and Part One acoustic, before going electric for the rest of the show. Those guys kill it live. The Acoustic Live At The Ryman album is phenomenal!

    I think he puts more effort into the shows closer to home. I live in the mid-west, but I have seen them several times in hollywood.
