Eddie Vedder - Lyric Opera House - Baltimore, MD

Uncle Eddie is in town again! Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhh! I feel like a little kid and he is going to play us our favorite songs on a stool and tell us a few jokes and stories. Always a great time when Uncle Ed comes over. Eating, drinking, and merrying! The wifebot and I met the brobot in Baltimore at the Lyric Opera House. Nice venue, simple, semi-modern exterior, old, great sounding interior.

Liam Finn opened again for the solo tour and if you havent seen him yet, go, he is good. We didnt see him this time since we have seen many times before and wanted to explore Baltimore's sights and sounds (and beer, food, and parking lots).

So we go there right when Eddie was going on and there was a good vibe in the house. Turns out right cux Uncle Eddie kicked ass with amazing energy and emotion. The sound was really good at the venue, in my tiny opinion. Ed mumbled some jokes and quips and rolled out great song after great song along with some surprises like Santa Cruz, Golden State, and Gone.

Similar setlists from last solo tour but with some new surprises. Sucks for you if you dont experience this, setlist is below, salivate :

Set list : Walking the Cow, (Brain Damage intro) Sometimes, Don't Be Shy, I Am Mine, I'm Open, Man of the Hour, Gone, Far Behind, No Ceiling, Guaranteed, Rise, Broken Hearted, Soon Forget, Atlantic City, Driftin', You've Got to Hide Your Love Away, Small Town, Porch!!!!!

1st Encore: Society (with Jerry Hannan), Golden State (with Eliza), New Song, Arc (stopped), I am a Patriot!!!!!

2nd Encore: Santa Cruz (with Liam Finn), Hard Sun (with Liam Finn and EJ)

Dave Matthews Band - IZOD Center - April 15th, 2009

Yes Indeed! DMB came to NJ after playing MSG the night before to kick off their Spring 2009 Tour. Didnt get MSG tix so settled for IZOD Center tix(easier to get). Hopped on the train to lovely NJ and then on to the Meadowlands. They are building the new Giants Stadium, which looks plain and boring, but didnt the inside yet, and the even more hideous looking and named, Xanadu Shopping Complex. Not sure the details on that beside its ugly and has an indoor ski slope. Just what we needed. Wah Wah.

Anyhow, DMB and company played to a lively IZOD Center crowd, playing a nice varied setlist and sounded pretty good. My seats werent good for the sound but I crept up semi close towards the end and the sounds was much better. A few new songs before the album came out, which is out now and is pretty good. Concert was good, not mind blowing but good. I look forward to seeing Dave and Co. soon. Setlist below :

Bartender *
Satellite *
Granny Stay Or Leave *
Funny The Way It Is *
Burning Down The House *
You Might Die Trying *

Chris Cornell - Webster Hall - April 8th 2009

Standing here with X's in my eyes drawing flies....Yeah you know what i am talking about. Get your Doc Martins and flannel on, we're headin to a Cornell show. Haha, actually Doc Martins dont fit me since I am a robot......remember.......ConcertRobot......jeez, anyway, I was little freaked out when I heard the new album, all that kinda hip hoppy crappy beats kinda stuff. But when you go to a CC show, you get everything, and always the good, classic stuff.

Although the new songs live were pretty darn good. Nice eclectin setlist ranging from Soundgarden, Audioslave, Solo Stuff, Temple stuff, new stuff, old stuff, uppers, downers, and all-arounders. So the brobot and I hit up another Webster Show and was a good crowd, energetic, and not too many d-bags. Great Setlist, check below for details.

Ahhh, hello der!

The guys from Toad stopped by NYC in Feb. to jam out some old favorites at Webster Hall. Another great Toad show as always.

Sampling a little from each album and sounding good and cracking jokes etc. Good overall show with a good vibe. Just an easy night out with them, here is the complete setlist from the show. They called up a girl from the audience to sing the talking/background part on Butterflies and she nailed it.

So I took a hiatus for a bit, concentrating on my hoola hooping skills so hasnt been any posts or updates lately. But, have no fear, God-fearing friends, the concert robot got its batteries recharged and hit up some shows semi-recently and has some new ones on the horizon. Will post them once I remember what they are. Stay lite!
