Some December dates were announced for the southwest... thank goodness that's all... I don't want to miss any local shows, and my wallet needs a break. 

Ha. My wallet needs a break so I was thankful there was nothing close when the tour was initially announced. Then QOTSA finally announced local dates for me this morning, exactly when I’m not ready to act on tix (but probably still will). Oof.

I saw them last night in Omaha and they were awesome! Viagra Boys were fun too!

I'll be in the pit Friday in Indy...can't wait

well, I guess as is always happens, bands get too big to tour Canada. Queens came to Winnipeg every album cycle, sometimes more than once. Last time they came here was May 2018. Fantastic show. 

Oh well. I've seen them 5 times.

May was the first time they came to back to New England since 2018... & the Portland show I saw in August wasn't sold out... there were GA tickets available the week of. 

I bet they'll be back your way.

$150 pit tix still for sale via TM for Indy...crazy

HughFreakingDillon

I hope so. that show was top five all time. 

1. Jack White (2018)
2. Paul McCartney (2018)
3. QOTSA (2018)
4. Headstones (1995)
5. Pearl Jam (Fargo, 2003)

That's gotta be resale, no? I think I paid $90 after fees for GA in August, and I wouldn't think Portland, ME is a much bigger market than Indy.

I've seen so many great shows, it's impossible to rank them at this point, but the QOTSA show I saw in Portland ME back in October '17 was like nothing I'd ever seen before (as was the one I saw in '02, and the Boston Calling set in '18, and the set in August... God damn this band is just phenomenal) 

Hoping for some spring dates back in the northeast, and I hope they don't go on sale until February because $$$$$$$$$$

JW and PMc are definitely my top two. all the rest can change all the time. But the 5 times I've seen Queens have all been different, and have all been fire.

Same... I'm kicking myself for not going to see him at Fenway.

my god, it was insane. a nearly 3 hour show from a guy that age was incredible. and I'm not ranking it because of how old he is; he'd be #2 if he had been 28 years old. Just phenomenal. 

But I don't know that any show will ever beat Jack White on the Boarding House Reach tour. Mind blowingly good.

I saw the Raconteurs at the Ryman two nights in a row a few years back...those were great shows. I've also seen him a few times solo. Always great.

Was that the Help Me Stranger tour? 

I caught the b2b shows in Boston. F’ing phenomenal. 

Merkin Baller

& same, I also saw him 2x solo. He’s one of the greatest performers I’ve ever seen.

Yes it was... not sure if he was at your shows, but when I same them, QOTSA's very own Bill Hader Dean Fertita was touring w/ them as a 5th musician. I would assume there's a hometown connection there since they're all from Detroit.

I would love to see them another time but the sets are so short now and it makes it hard to justify traveling... I saw them first time in 2011 in London. They played the entire first album on that tour for the reissue and it was amazing.And while I was there, a friend from here sent me a text to tell me they would be at PJ20, and that made it all even better. I listened to Times New Roman today while mowing the lawn and then spun Lullabies because I felt like I wanted more.

saw them in Pittsburgh in Aug and at Sonic Temple about 10 miles from the house this May

Seeing them tomorrow night in Seattle. My first time seeing them and can't wait! Every time they have played near me over the years something has always been in the way of getting to see them. I listened to all of their albums the past couple of weeks. Decided to rank them.

1. SONGS FOR THE DEAF
2. RATED R
3. SELF TITLED
4. ... LIKE CLOCKWORK
5. IN TIMES NEW ROMAN
6. ERA VULGARIS
7. LULLABIES TO PARALYZE
8. VILLIANS

Lucky bastards the last two shows got regular John to open. Songs for the dead noticeably absent for a few consecutive shows.

That's odd... & the last couple of sets have only been 16 song sets. 

I wonder what that's all about.
