I’ve mentioned before how the Rogue Valley previously was a regular stop for bands traveling between Seattle or Portland and San Francisco. Now bands frequently take an off day between those dates, or they make the entire 10+ hour trek and play those cities on back-to-back days. This August 25 Anthrax is going old school and making the stop. Better than playing at the Medford Armory, they will be at the Ashland Armory! Tickets are on sale here. I’m guessing that you can buy tickets at the usual places (Music Coop in Ashland or Musichead in Medford–call first to make sure they are selling them) to avoid the online service charge.
More Anthrax photos here.

Actual setlist was a bit different (at the end) than the one above. Clementine broke her snare after The Ocean so they took a break to fix it. When they came back they played Kashmir, When the Levee Breaks, and Whole Lotta Love.

August 24 is the date. That’s also the day Beats Antique are playing in the Ashland Armory.

Y&T were huge in the San Francisco Bay Area when I was growing up. The radio stations (KOME, KSJO, KRQR) played songs off of Earthshaker, Black Tiger, and Mean Streak as much as they played Led Zeppelin, the Eagles, or AC/DC. I’m always a little surprised when I talk to people outside of the Bay Area about Y&T who haven’t heard of Y&T or only know Contagious and/or Summertime Girls (two songs I don’t particularly care for and never have heard–except live). I checked out after Mean Streak when they went soft.
Anyway, it’s odd to see them playing relatively small venues, outside the Bay Area, and the fan base knowing the songs I don’t know and not really getting that into the songs I love. That said, the only disappointing thing from my March 17, 2018 evening in Grants Pass was the omission of Midnight in Tokyo from the setlist. I’ve enjoyed over a thousand, real “midnights in Tokyo” and could have used another.
