Roger Waters’ flying pig @ Desert Trip
Roger Waters had a lot of anti-Trump propaganda during his set at Desert Trip. At the time (October 2016) I thought we’d never have to see it again, but I’m guessing he will now be able to use it on his upcoming tour as well. That’s too bad.
Ill Wicker @ Lygtens Kro (Kobenhavn July 22, 2016)
Before my 2016 adventures in Copenhagen, I hadn’t really explored places where locals hang out. One of my favorites that I discovered this past summer was Lygtens Kro. The place has a nice vibe, and the customers are very friendly. The two downsides are that it gets too crowded (especially on nights with live music) and nearly everyone smokes. The latter criticism can’t really be avoided in Denmark.
Ill Wicker was a great-sounding band from Gothenburg, Sweden.
Black Sabbath @ Copenhell 2016
Not only is Halloween just around the corner, but so is Copenhell 2017. It looks like I will be there for the second year in a row. So far they have only announced a few bands, but I’m excited to see Candlemass (as they rarely make it to the USA, and I’ve been a fan since 1986) and Overkill (who I haven’t seen since 1987).
If any of the powers that be at Copenhell are reading this, the bands I’d most like to see at Copenhell 2017 include Rammstein, Kampfar, Watain, and Death Angel. Please and thank you.

Picked up tickets for Roger Waters’ “Us+Them Tour” for June of next year in San Jose. I’m hoping he does some “Amused to Death” on this tour. Can’t wait.
I saw The Who a couple times before, once in the 1990s and once in 2000 (at one of John Entwistle’s last shows), and it was fun to see them again at Desert Trip after a 16-year break. I cried a little bit during “The Kids Are Alright” but that’s only because I’m a new empty nester.
