 Don Branson 1st concert in over a year! Enjoyed Pom Pom squad as did proud papa MC Serch who was filming & cheering. Mia Berrin grew up in Novi & her 3rd grade teacher was there. Nada Surf was great as usual. Their drummer was more animated than I remembered (at least what little I can remember from the last show I saw in 2008). Matthew Caws recited most of the venues they'd been to in the Detroit area. Thx to Dar for letting me know about the show & pointing out MC Serch! Just so good to see live music finally!

 Don Branson Suffice to see me & dar were there and....) GARBAGE/TEARS FOR FEARS 2022 kicking off the summer concert season w/ a 95 degree show! Shirley said she forgot to shave her armpits & was entertaining between songs & of course the performance was great as always. Tears' Roland said after touring in hot southern cities he might find relief in MI. Nope! I only knew their 80s hits but i really enjoyed their show. And that lady could sing! Just getting to be at pine knob after 2 years away was so awesome! Even suspender man was there! Oh, and we got to see a drunk guy dancing & leaning over the bannister many times finally throw himself over it! (He was ok) Tears For Fears / Garbage Nov 23, 2025
 Minkeyx The opener was supposed to be The Cult, FNM was a late addition and were booed mercilessly ~ every song, but War Pigs. Metallica / Faith No More Nov 23, 2025
 Minkeyx Opener was Faster Pussy Cat *they got booed off stage. Alice Cooper / Alice Cooper / Motörhead Nov 23, 2025
 Don Branson Saw Red Hot Chili Peppers/the Strokes/ Thundercat @ Comerica. Great show! Chad had a Detroit "D" (showing his hometown pride) on his drum kit & brought out his 95 yr old moms out at the end. Flea recalled recording w/funkadelic in Detroit back in the day. Never saw signs for song requests before. It was my 1st time to Comerica, what a great venue w/great view of the city skyline! Red Hot Chili Peppers / The Strokes / Thundercat Nov 23, 2025

 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! Weezer / Modest Mouse / Momma Nov 23, 2025
 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.
