at the House of Blues here in Houston. Great tight set of a few new songs mixed in with hits and stuff from Dreamtime.

Opening act was Against Me! which has been in the music news lately b/c of transgender lead singer/guitarist Tom Gabel.

The mix had Billy Duffy's guitar predominating over Ian Astbury's voice which, turns out, was not a bad thing b/c Ian usually fast talks his lyrics in concert than actually sing like he does in the studio.

I think I've mentioned it before, but Billy Duffy has got to be one of the most underrated guitarists in rock.

My upcoming shows this week and next:

-Buddy Guy with Jonny Lang on Friday
-Van Halen with Kool and the Gang on Sunday
-Coldplay on Monday

Aah, anything from Sonic Temple brings me back to my wild college days!

OMG, I saw the Cult way back in the late '80s when they opened for Metallica.

Ah, the memories...

Enjoy the Buddy Guy Show ! I saw him last fall, and also about a year earlier than that. Even though both shows were almost identical, I really enjoyed them.

The first show, he had 12 Year old (I think ) Quinn Sullivan opening for him. Quinn will be the next Johnny Lang if not better.

That tour was 1989. I was working security at Lakewood Amphitheater in Atlanta when they played there. Interesting show. I was doing bag check at the gate - had to confiscate a handful of knives (they were able to pick them up after the show) and a lot of booze (that was not given back).

i saw two of those Metallica/Cult 1989 shows, as a guest of a label rep for Elektra.

got my Edie 7in signed by teh band, too.

I didn't know Boy George was still in the biz.

Awesome on this show and the others in your queue. Very cool.

I saw them open for Metallica in Seattle. They were booed off stage and ian got so pissed he threw a water cup/beer at an audience member. Back when Metallica was "Metallica", their audience was a tough crowd.

Leader!

That's pretty cool. I wonder if there's a way to find a recording of the Houston show?
