First concert: Shania Twain for my mom’s birthday when I was a teenager
Best concert: Radiohead @ Parc Jean Drapeau, Montreal in 2008 for their In Rainbows tour. Only had 1 friend who had his full license at that point and drove a few of us the 2.5 hours to the show. It was 1 of I think 2 shows in Canada for the tour. 30,000+ people outside from all across eastern Canada.
It poured rain for the opener and stopped and the sun came out as Radiohead took the stage. Used to have a picture of a guy holding the album cover with a rainbow in the background and for the last half of the show there was a fireworks competition happening on the other side of the island. Doubt I’ll ever be able to top this one.
There is also a pretty high quality bootleg of the show available here as well
I would think the ratio of Parrot Head to Nest member would be quite high, but it sounds like that may not be the case.
Jimmy Buffet concerts rank way up there on in person experience, in a post covid world we may never get to experience peak parrot heads again.
I was able to attend a ZZ Top concert when I was about 12 and if current day me were at that concert I think it would rank up there, even though the guys couldn’t hit a note even back then.
Alan Jackson is way up there but not very high energy, more just really enjoyable and the man sounds exactly the same live as he does recorded which is awesome.
On a bachelor party in New Orleans we stumbled upon the Ying Yang Twins live, this is only about 2 years ago, and that might take the cake for top concert for me.
as someone who’s hometown is Miami, i’ve long advocated for the separation of Florida into 2 states, North and South, with the dividing line being somewhere around I-4
I would agree with this. Jimmy Buffet concerts are an all day party. Some concerts are great and a ton of fun with high energy. But honestly, some bands are just worthless in person. I’ve been to concerts where I found myself standing there thinking how it would be better if I was sitting at home on my deck with my own beer listening to the band on Spotify.
@djpie Are there supposed to be ads on YouTube this season? I don’t really care either way but I know you guys had trouble with YouTube throwing ads in on a past tourist sauce video when you didn’t want them.
As far as I know you used to be able to turn them off from the creator side. It’s possible something changed recently but the last few videos before strapped didn’t have any when I was clicking around earlier.
I don’t think they can turn them off anymore. They can decide to not monetize the videos (which I’m pretty sure they do not monetize them) to hopefully limit ads. But unfortunately I’m almost sure there is no way for the creator to turn off all ads.
Whenever you use music you don’t have the rights to, YT throws ads on the vid and gives the revenue to the copyright holder. The problem with Tourist Sauce is that we DID have the rights to that stuff and it was still showing ads until we got it fixed.
Strapped has ads because we definitely don’t have the rights to a lot of the music we use. It’s not ideal so we try to do it really sparingly. I just really loved that Kingston Trio song in Ep. 1. And for reasons that will become obvious, there’s another popular song in Ep. 2 as well.
Ah that makes sense. Ya the music definitely adds to the show. Like I said I’m not particularly bothered by them it just stuck out to me because of the TS deal.
I’d say in a 30 minute episode, as long as there aren’t more than 2 commercial break ins take the money and run. You can skip them after a few seconds anyway. Make that money…
If it allows strapped to be what it is I can accept the ads with arms wide open. My sacrifice is a small one to allow you guys to take strapped higher.
