Live Shows / 08/08/08: Chicago House of Blues

Is it wrong for me to tell V to eat doo doo for skipping that Milwaukee show?  Not seriously or angrily, just electronically.  I still love her.

Maybe we can organize a show at a smaller venue?  I would love to organize a food drive for this show.  I love cream of mushroom soup in the can as much as the next guy but I will donate 10 cans to hear White Houses live.

Great pics.  If I wouldve known the Milwaukee show was cancelled I wouldve driven to MN for the show or skipped out on my GF's parents and went to the Chicago show.

The venue sounded nice, looking forward to pics/vids if any.  Set list sounds like its worth my 2 hour drive and $15.  No sky Steele?

Being the show is a Sunday I doubt I'll be going to any of the local water holes but one never knows.  There are plenty within walking distance of the Pabst.

I'll be checking in.  I will be in the LaCrosse, WI are that whole weekend so sadly I wont be able to make the Chicago show.  Minneapolis is about 2 hours from there but I doubt we'll be able to go (Fish Days festival in Lansing, IA and to visit her parents are the reason we are going there).  Milwaukee on the way back to Chicago on Sunday it is.

Never really heard of Josh Radin but I'd go still.

Dammit I have to go to Fish Days with my fiance in Lansing, IA that weekend!  Well I at least plan on going to the Minneaplois show and maybe the Milwaukee show but I'd really want to go to the House of Blues show in my backyard!  Vanessa owned Park City.

Show was pretty great.

So the general sentiment I am getting is that people thought the crowd was rude?  Was this in the standing area in the front?  I was sitting on the opposite side of the bar on a stool in the mid-level with my GF and I thought it was a great seat (I didnt really think there was a bad seat in the place since its nice and small).  I did hear a group of drunks yelling things towards the end that I thought was uncalled for but that was about it.  The crowd was pretty diverse but I guess I dont know what I was expecting.  Back by the bar stools it was pretty relaxed, not too much craziness happening.

There were 2 highlights of the show that stood out to me.  First was "White Houses", played amazingly.  Played with such feeling and we absolutely loved it.  Secondly, the piano solo at the end of "Home" almost knocked me off my barstool.  I hadnt really realized how intense it was on the cd.  In person you get to see how really amazing it is.

Also, if I were to meet Sky Steele after the show I could ask him one question, it would be, "Do you normally kick that much ass on a Sunday night?!?!"  His playing really made the show special (not saying V needed it because kicked just as much, but damn!!!).

My gf and I were hoping to see a cameo by Ja Rule at the show but a las, it never materialized.

« on: November 16, 2007, 02:41:42 am »

Wow 3-4pm?!?  I hope you all arent having to stand in the cold for those 3-4 hours of waiting!  I'll be in Minneapolis for the weekend for a football game but driving back Sunday morning in time to make it to the show at around 6:30 hopefully.

Anyone find out if it is going to be a seated or standing show?  Been blaring the Heroes & Thieves album post bar time lately.  

I'm looking forward to taking VC out for some cobbler afterwards if she accepts.
