Lots of good independent & 'underground' hip-hop acts, with a lot of local flavor. There's a skate jam & 'slow & low' car show as well.

Does my Jeep count as a low and slow car when I'm driving back with a load from Home Depot?

I just won free tickets to see STP (with Weiland) on June 6th from KFAN - all because I was on hold to tell who my least favorite Vikings was of all time (Sean Salisbury btw) when they stopped taking calls. Nice trade off I think.

I'm probably going to go to GPL hell for saying this, but I wouldn't walk across the street to see Pink Floyd in concert.

I don't hate them (that would be Skynyrd) but I've never gotten into them as much as others have.

I saw Pink Floyd for the Wall Tour, saw them without Roger Waters for the Division Bell, have seen Roger Waters solo twice, and saw the Live 8 reunion at Hyde Park in London in 2005. Each in their own right were ridiculous but the reunion in London nearly brought a tear to my eye, even if it looked as if Mason, Gilmour and Wright were rolling their eyes at Waters.

btw - Ron White is coming to town I believe next week and if it's that soon I won't be able to go with STP this Friday and and R.E.M. next Thursday.

You hit that nail on the head, momo.

I could have cared less about Pink Floyd, but my college girlfriend dragged me off to the concert. I'm still not a huge Floyd fan...but that concert was mind blowing. I'll never forget hearing the announcer come over the PA just like at a Twins game...

There is nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo smoking in the Metrodome!!!

...and then seeing hundreds of lighters fire up.

Modest Mouse and REM tonight at the X. It'll be my first show in that place after attending a lot of shows at the Target Center. I've heard the sound is better at the X, can anyone verify that?

I saw Tool there a while back and was amazed with the acoustics. Wish I had had a contact at Target Center back when I was seeing bands there more as I would have been suggesting baffles in the rafters like the X has. The fabric strung in the roof joists keeps the sound from bouncing around. You will enjoy any show you see at the X.

Yep, the X is definitely a much better venue-I've seen Green Day at both the X and TGT Center, X is hand down the better and louder venue.

STP last night was awesome. The opening band (can't remember their name) :oops:

wasn't bad either.

I agree. It was great to see STP back together again. This is the third time i've seen them and they always put on a great show. It's a little tough to see Weiland not being able to hit the low notes anymore but nevertheless still awesome.

The opening band was Ashes Divide and I thought they were just ok, nothing special.

The Keys are opening for the Crowes.

If I hadn't just put a more money than I would like into my car this past week or so, and need to get some new hockey skates, I'd buy a pair of tickets right now. I'm a big fan of the Black Crowes; I don't know much about the Black Keys.

It's $35 or $37/ ticket, plus the ticket master charges. Or you could snail mail it. Go to the state fair website for information on how to do that. (those ticket master charges brought the total to almost $90, just a few pennies shy, really.

I ended up buying a pair of tickets after saying I wouldn't. In fact, I bought them about an hour after saying I wouldn't

I'm in row 26, I think, of the Plz 2 section. I've never been to the grand stand, so I really don't know if they're good tickets or not. They're supposedly close, but I don't know if they'll be a good view or not.

by **Doughboy** » Fri 6/13/08 12:33 pm

I saw the Goo Goo Dolls at the Grandstand a few years ago. I do not remember where we sat but I think most of the seats there are pretty good

by **Slap Shot** » Fri 6/13/08 12:57 pm

The grandstand is different. If your seats are bad it would be mostly because they're wide (l or r) of the stage since it doesn't extend that far out.

Even though we had to leave the Gophers-Kato game after the second period- the Beastie Boys concert was great- this is now the 5th time I have seen them in concert and the Saturday show was just as good as the last ones I have been at!!

If I may........................... AC DC was awesome for this 46 year old. The sound and show was great !

My only beef was that they didn't play long enough and didn't play some songs I love such as; Money Talks, Who Made Who, Big Balls, Long Way To The Top If You Wanna Rock n Roll, Girls Got Rythem, Are You Ready, etc.

If one likes AC DC and didn't go Sunday night, they come back in January and I highly recommend going.
