Brit Floyd @ Britt Festival (Jacksonville, Oregon – June 20, 2015)

Last night Brit Floyd (a British Pink Floyd cover band) kicked off the beginning of the 2015 Britt season. The show was fantastic. More photos coming soon.

Brit Floyd was the first, of the five Pink Floyd cover bands that I’ve seen, to play any post-Roger Waters Pink Floyd tunes.

A bit over a year and a half ago, had you asked me what are the top four bands that are still active that I’d like to see live but have not, I would have answered (in no particular order) Neurosis, Tool, Agalloch, and Voivod. Flash forward to midnight tonight, and I will have seen all four of these bands!

The other bands on tonight’s bill are also fantastic. This will be my first time seeing Ufomammut and my third time seeing YOB.

Photos coming on my other blog beginning Sunday.

BloodMoon Warning @ Rogue Theatre (5/23/15)

Fun fact: 28 years ago, not to the day–but to the month (May 1987), I saw Tesla and Y&T open for Iron Maiden at Spartan Stadium in San Jose, California. OK, that’s not so interesting in and of itself, BUT last night BloodMoon Warning opened the show for Y&T by covering Tesla’s “Cumin’ Atcha Live”. Boom! What are the odds? Full circle. Time travel is (sort of) possible.

SOU Cheer @ football national championship game tailgate in Daytona, Florida

Southern Oregon University doesn’t have a marching band. However, they had one last December in Daytona when Mike Beagle bribed dozens of Florida high school students with free SOU t-shirts.
