It will be fascinating to watch. Perhaps young fans in 2025 won't understand the nuances of their American appeal in the 1990's when even at the height of their powers they were selling sub 2k tickets and cancelling shows due to lack of sales. #Oasis https://t.co/PCAppc6V2F

Headed to @pitchforkfest on this beautiful Friday afternoon in Chicago? May wanna pack your X-Ray vision…

@nottherealsha10 Was their opener, yes

[Jim Ryan @radioJimRyan]

Was informed at 3:43pm that Steve Miller Band would be taking the stage today at Wrigley at 4:30pm instead of 6pm because of the weather. 95% empty. Journey on next at 5:30. Then Def Leppard. So much notice! (And they wonder why no one wants to buy overpriced stadium tix)

@nottherealsha10 At 5:33, yes

@LostOnTheFringe @SeanStangland What’s shitty or unnecessary about advocating for the live performance of live music?

Rest in peace Steve Albini.

We'll always regret not accepting your job application back in 2003!

Wanna make sure I remember that 48 hour stretch in 2024 when I saw Madonna, 65, and Buddy Guy, 87. ‘Cause that ain’t bad.
