 Don Branson Jimmy Eat World w/Charly Bliss: the latter had a great set as usual, even when Eva's just-a-bit-too-enthusiastic dancing knocked over the mike stand. Jimmy Eat World kicked off a streak of 5-6 songs, rocking them extra hard. Their new song was great too. They need some better ventilation in there but otherwise it was a great show! Jimmy Eat World / Charly Bliss Nov 23, 2025
 Don Branson irreverence was the theme of this show. Jeff Rosenstock opened with a flurry of punk rock & wacky commentary & ending playing sax atop the crowd. Gaslight anthems' Brian Fallon spoke to the audience betwixt songs about various topics like poutine & home repair. Their set was good as always. The upper-upper balcony was so much roomer & cooler than St. Andy's GA & the view was great! Also forgot whilst in line for the show we saw a dirt bike/atv flash mob being chased by the cops on Woodward. The Gaslight Anthem / Jeff Rosenstock Nov 23, 2025
 Don Branson it was weezer's 10th show on the tour and me & dar's 10th time seeing them in concert! Momma was good as was Modest Mouse, albeit more funky than i expected. Weezer opened on a set that looked like the dashboard of a car complete with radio (which rivers started a song, stopped, turned the radio dial to 5, stopped again, then turned it all the way up!), steering wheel, rear view mirror and the "windshield" was where the graphics were projected. backdrops included a road of course, the cover to the Pinkerton album, and rollerskating/dancing figures). rivers did a duet with the girls from Momma on rare b-side "i just threw out the love of my dreams". there was an acoustical section with 'in the garage' and 'Suzanne'. another rarity 'blast off' made an appearance. the boys did an encore with many riffs and flashing lights. so glad to see the lads again after 4 years!

 Don Branson Last Friday I went to see Tommy Davidson headlining a Def Comedy Jam-style show (w/ a DJ) of 5 comedians presented by Livewaves & Mobile network at the Saginaw Dow. Tommy was dope as always &:sung some 70s deep soul cuts at the end. the others all brought their "A" game as well. The MC was particularly funny! Tommy Davidson Nov 23, 2025
 Don Branson this was probably my favorite stand up show of all time! opener (can't find his 1st name) Adams was hilarious with observations of covid (his father's taste test for covid), dating at various ages & other things. davison came out talking low & slow but quickly exploded into the type of act he's known for. various voices, pantomine, sound effects, funny faces were all on display fueled by a ton of energy. i'd get into some here but i can't do it justice in type (*smack* REALLY?!?--that's for Dar). the way he moved around-the small stage barely contained him. he got some good material out of the guy he mistakenly thought was wearing Flyers gear (it was Red Wings!). classic bits were present too like the national anthem and dr jekyll/sammy davis jr which he sang as & closed the show with. we MORE than got our $25 worth! mark ridley's comedy castle is a nice venue. roomy but intimate enough to display stand-up well. it was great being relatively close to the performers. plus its in royal oak which is not far from dar's place so we didn't have to deal with much traffic.

 Don Branson it rained off and on that day but luckily we got pavilion tickets on the $25 all-in deal (and not too shabby seats to boot!). we came in on the last 3-4 songs on metric's set. i was surprised i recognized all the songs since i only own one album. they closed on 'black sheep' from 'scott pilgrm' which was awesome! Garbage was great as always. the first third of the set was mostly newer album songs with them finishing strong on more of the hits. shirley was entertaining with jokes about her menopause (the humidity made if feel like she was having hot flashes) and mentioning the picture she took of the crowd last time was photobombed by 2 racoons hanging out in the rafters. Noel Gallagher's HIgh Flying Birds was an 'alright' set. he had what looked like 10 ppl with him including 3 backup singers. the flowery set looked like it was set up for a wedding or something. Noel got in a little banter with the crowd up front but i couldn't break thru his thick accent. he got in a couple of Oasis songs in the middle i didn't recognize but finished with "don't look back in anger" which was cool to hear live and is still stuck in my head! Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds / Garbage / Metric Nov 23, 2025
 Don Branson I knew none of the songs by any of the bands (dar is the Braid fan) but everyone was excellent! Braid performed a whole album completely & did an encore of several more songs from their catalog. 1 singer/guitarist went into the crowd to sing along & later another moshed with some fans. It woulda been more enjoyable if it wasn't 4 hrs of 1000 degree HEAT in there! It was still a good time despite the heat (still not as bad a st. Andrew's) & nice to finally visit TLT post-pandemic.

 Don Branson Beck was amazing as always! High energy & slightly different arrangements w/a little acoustic guitar & harmonica solo (one became a old-school blues solo!). His duet with Phoenix was better in person too. Phoenix was fun as well-if a little"new-discoy" for my taste. Plus I only knew "1901" for sure cause they play it at The Store 😔 We only caught the last part of Sir Chloe's set but what I heard wasn't bad. Weyes Blood sings well but balladeers just aren't my thing. I'm just glad the weather cooperated-it wasn't too hot nor did it rain. We got our value from the $25 all-in deal! Beck / Phoenix / Weyes Blood / Sir Chloe Nov 23, 2025
 Don Branson John Heffron was hilarious last night. Making me look forward to freshman senior citizen classes in a year or two lol. Thx for suggesting it Dar! John Heffron Nov 23, 2025
 Don Branson SPIRITUAL CRAMP wsg GUSHER & HEAVENLY SWEETHART: what a fun night of 70s MC5 style in-your-face speedy rock! The involuntary mosh pit that we found ourselves in on the last song was unexpected but we came out relatively unscathed. I was worried when dar went down but he was quickly helped back on his feet by the crowd and shook it off like a soldier. The openers were good too and we saw a rainbow on the way there to boot! Spiritual Cramp / Heavenly Sweetheart / Gusher Nov 23, 2025
 Don Branson When to see comedian Jim Gaffigan at the Fox last night. I've watched Jim's specials over the years but this was the 1st time seeing him in person. It was a great show as always. We missed the 1st 5 mins of it due to traffic and parking downtown. I witnessed the parking attendant of the lot behind the Fox changing that sign from $60 to $80 about 5 mins to showtime. Luckily we found $30 parking across the street. Jim Gaffigan Nov 23, 2025
 Don Branson pretty good first show of 2016. we arrived near the center rd exit on 69 to find traffic backed up quite a ways. it seemed everyone in flint showed up for this one. luckily we were only in traffic for a half hour until we could park in the old target/farmer jack parking lot. its been several years since i'd been to an event in the I.M.A., perani, Dort federal event center. it hasn't changed too much in the interm except its been cleaned and painted a bit. in the lobby we saw the usual assortment of characters, including a guy in a pink suit looking like a movie pimp fromt he 70s. All the comedians were on point that night and gave us a hell of a show! charlie murphy gave an especially unexpected great performance. i'll get the acts a little more in the photos (which i think i did a little better on this time). overall i had a blast and my lungs are still healing from all the laughter. also with the comedians in the middle of the arena, i don't think there was a bad seat in the house. proceeds from the show when to charities helping flint with our current water crisis.

 Don Branson w/ darrius who also took the great pic of me and Roy. We first saw Roy Wood Jr. with the Last Comic Standing Tour at the Whiting in 2010 and then solo at the same venue in Ann Arbor in 2015. He's best known nowadays as a correspondent on the Daily Show. it was a good night of comedy all around. the opener/host was good. sorry i don't remember names but he was a young man who talked about opening for anime-based rap group and how the old ladies at the venue tried to console him when his act didn't go over well. the middle act was a lady with very shiny boots who told of her lesbian experiences that weren't quite as glamorous as the magazines described. she was really funny. Roy was on point as always. he opened with "back in the basement!" (the venue is in the downstairs of a building that still hasn't finished remodeling in over 5 years). he talked about how it was easier to list the Avengers than the Democratic Presidential Contenders (there was about 18 at one point) ("how 'bout a raccoon with a shotgun?"). he covered politics, sexting, covering for married friends, weddings, etc. i think it was better than his last stand up special. he did a quick meet-and-greet w/free photos after the show. talking to him is like talking to an old friend, you wouldn't know he's been on TV shows for the last 10 years. he liked my shirt and was impressed we'd seen him last time he did ann arbor and at last comic standing. Roy Wood, Jr. Nov 23, 2025
 [email protected] Not just glowing, resplendent! Everyone having a great time. Band was basking in her glow. Sweet venue. And if you haven’t seen/heard the opening band, Mal not Bad, you have not lived a full life. Your Smith Nov 23, 2025
 Kabong64 Chris Farley was at this gig and participated in the Lucha wrestling between bands. He was dead 2 months later. The Fuzztones Nov 23, 2025
 Kim Livingston I was studying abroad this year, at Unviversite d'Avignon. Saw this concert with a friend & remember Wilson Pickett the best. Motown & soul music was very big in Europe at this time. People were dancing in the aisles, including myself. Extraordinary concert! Sam Moore / Wilson Pickett / Eddie Floyd / Carla Thomas Nov 23, 2025
 Paul Davey An afternoon of deep cuts by Eric Clapton, Peter Green. A fun band, plenty of banter.. Good guitarist.. Band used to be resident at The Belvedere thus warm up band ie how they got their name. Cheered us up on a soggy day The Heaters Nov 23, 2025
