BC - unfortunately, there seem to be no other options - per Stanford Live, "Tickets go on sale Friday, Oct. 11 at 12 p.m. PT via Ticketmaster. Here's more on the upcoming Stanford concert: Stanford Live Tix Info
Sadly, I was right. After multiple attempts to purchase tickets (following their directions exactly), I repeatedly got an error message saying "Unfortunately, we were unable to complete the request on this device. Please make sure you are signed into your Ticketmaster account [I was] and try again [I did] or come back later". Changing devices put me to the back of the queue, and then it simply said "Your Browsing Activity Has Been Paused; We've detected unusual behavior on either your network or your browser.
To resolve this: Sign in to your Ticketmaster account if you haven't already [I did]; Change your Wi-Fi or cellular network [I can't]; Switch devices or move to a different location if possible [This was the new device]"
Screw Ticketmaster/Livenation; I hope the Justice Department dismembers them.

No Coldplay tickets for me too. I never could complete checkout before they disappeared.
The best seats I was close to getting was four in section 234 row G.

Sorry, Hulk! Lana del Rey married her boyfriend, a swamp tour guide.

Not typically my style, but it is not every day that a previously unseen waltz from Chopin gets unearthed:

Judy Henske = one of the most underrated singers of the 60's.

From BC's original post: "Sofi Tukker is not a name, but rather a duo..."
Actually it is a name, just spelled differently and I bet the duo knew who they were referencing when they named themselves. (This is also the most random bit of Trivial Pursuit knowledge I have. From playing the game too many times in high school, I know the correct answer to "Who was the last of the red-hot mamas?" is "Sophie Tucker". I know nothing about her aside from what wikipedia pulls up).
On the concerts questions...
Your first concert: Oingo Boingo, Greek Theater, Berkeley 1987. X opened.
Your best concert: ibid, by far. They were my favorite band at the time and they were an incredible live act.
The concert you wish you had attended: REM around 1985
Worst concert: Simon & Garfunkel, Old Friends Tour, 2023. Sad because they're one of my all time favorites.
Band you've seen the most: Tie between Oingo Boingo (including former members) and Paul Simon
Last Concert: Oingo Boingo Former Members (i.e., w/o Danny Elfman) 2024. I was supposed to see Green Day more recently with my teenage daughter, but she bailed due to a school activity.
Next Concert: ?
Concert that was way more fun that expected: Traffic at Shoreline in 1994. I had no idea who they were but was blown away.
RE: Music Thread 2024 - BostonCard - 11-27-2024
I really liked the sound of this British band, YONAKA, from Brighton. In retrospect, I first heard it in the Netflix Show "A Good Girl's Guide to Murder" (s1e2), but didn't really pay attention until it ran in one of my Peloton sessions (good workout song)

Great energy, by a band I'll try to listen to more.

BEATLE TRIVIA:
Speaking of Brit bands, the Beatles debuted on Ed Sullivan in February, 1964.
One Beatle visited the USA nearly a year earlier, and played a bit with a local band. Even though the Beatles had three songs on the English charts, he was unknown in the States. Still, he made an impression with his music and the locals suggested that the band make him an offer to stay.
Which Beatle was that?

Hint: his sister was married and living in the US. (I just saw a social media post about this so I’ll disqualify myself).

The Beatles were very popular late 1962 at least in the Santa Clara valley
A guess My Sweet Lord. George Harrison.
Or I read it recently lol

Good guess. George Harrison was the first Beatle on American soil. He and his brother Peter visited their older sister, Louise, in her home of Benton, Illinois. Harrison went to NYC, St. Louis and Benton.
Harrison visited WFRX radio with a copy of "She Loves You" which had been released three weeks earlier in Britain. It got a positive review in Billboard, but little radio play. Capitol Records (owned by EMI) was underwhelmed by the Beatles records, so Vee Jay, a small US label that specialized in R&B music released it.
Louise's husband was a Scottish mining engineer who emigrated to work in the Illinois coal mines. George Harrison played with a local band, the Four Vests, covering Chet Atkins and Carl Perkins. Some of the band members took George to a music shop where George bought a red Rickenbacker 425 guitar, asking the store owner to refinish it in black. The Rickenbacker made its first public appearance on Ready Steady Go on October 4 when George returned to London. Purchased for $400, it sold at auction in 2016 for $657,000.

RE: Music Thread 2024 - jacket3ree - 12-24-2024
I just replaced my phono cartridge. Probably put about 1200 hours on it over the past three years.
Favorite release of 2024:
Moon & Stars
Like comfort food. Cool album art too. Using it to bookend my "Americana/Roots" shelf, homebuilt using mahogany and black iron pipe. Mrs. Jacketree: "I guess I'll have to get used to this." Jacketree: "Yes. Yes, you will."
Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah everyone! May all your musical dreams come true.
I think I'll miss this one this year.

Thanks for sharing the Harrison article—led me down a deep rabbit hole reading about how he passed away, which then led to stories about Lennon’s final words, etc. (Since there’s no sports on TV…)

A. Artists that have had their music featured in Super Bowl commercials.
B. Artists who have never been in my kitchen.

Great guess, and I'm guessing "B" is accurate.
None of the artists have won a competitive Grammy. Snoop Dogg, Brian McKnight, Dierks Bentley, Martina McBride, Katy Perry, Nas, Busta Rhymes, Nikki Minaj and Diana Ross have all been nominated 10 or more times, never won.
Hendrix, Holly, Beach Boys, Bob Marley, The Who, Janis Joplin, The Doors, The Ramones, Run DMC, Queen, Iggy Pop have all won Lifetime Achievement Grammy awards, but no competitive Grammys.
RE: Music Thread 2024 - jacket3ree - 12-31-2024
I would not have guessed that some of those groups never won a competitive Grammy. Going with what I listen to:
Hendrix makes sense. Probably ahead of his time. I think I'll drop needle on Axis later tonight. It's been awhile.
Buddy Holly is surprising.
Iggy Pop is for me, but not for everyone, so I get that.
I could see The Ramones tossing a Grammy into the East River. A Grammy ain't punk.
Ditto The Who, but into The Thames. Who's Next was voted best album of 1971, which is the best year of all years, by whichever list I always have open when scrounging for vinyl up and down the west coast. The Grammy winner in 1971 was Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon and Garfunkel, which is a damn good album. It's no Who's Next, but a damn good album.
Wow. Queen. Who knew?
The Doors were non-commercially commercial, so that makes some sense.
Bob Marley is only the king of an entire genre of music, so why would he ever win a Grammy?
Diana Ross is surprising.
Beach Boys is shocking. Pet Sounds was a seminal album released in 1966. It eventually begat Sgt. Pepper out of competition. The 1966 Grammy winner for best pop album was....Sinatra's September of My Years. OK, that doesn't suck. Stiff competition including Herb Alpert (yay), Tony Bennett (yay), Tom Jones (what is new, pussycat?). Can't beef with that too much.
There are some good artists on your list. Maybe there is just a lot of good music, and the Grammy's are awfully random?
Cool question Mick, and I say that as someone who likes to remain at least ten years behind the times musically. But to be fair, someone that kept his son-in-law from tossing a crate full of vinyl someone gave him for $5 at a garage sale just to dump it. He had never heard the awesomeness of what was in there. He only wanted the Sound of Music soundtrack for my granddaughter (would pay five bucks for that alone) but came away with a range of stuff including pristine (sealed) copies of Miles, Tijuana Brass, Chet Baker, Chick Correa, Ornette Colman, Thelonious, James Gang, and "Who is this Led Zeppelin guy?"

Great catch, and great haul by your son-in-law. My sons say I'm closer to 20 years behind the times, but I'm fine with that. I like every single musician on your list but for some reason, I could never get into Chick Corea. When I was a DJ, my station manager loooooved Chick Corea. One of my fellow DJs clued me in and said if the station manager was ever in a bad mood, just play Chick Corea before you met with him. Worked like a charm. Corea, incidentally, was nominated for 67 Grammies and won 23, sixth most all-time among male solo artists.
Mom was a brobdingnagian fan of Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass, Dave Brubeck, Thelonious Monk. Fun household in which to grow up as she transitioned from 1950s R&B to jazz. She had eclectic tastes.
I was a latecomer to that Led Zeppelin guy, now one of my favorite groups.
