That's what I'm thinking.

Also, the BC for a solo acoustic set isn't the best setting IMO.

sold out insanely quick! a friend got good seats but i was hoping for standing.

Did you get your Pulp tickets for Warfield?   

I only pulled balcony, so I'm working back channels.

my "specialty" is music.

this show sucked.. sounded like a dying cat....  if dying cats "singing" is your specialty you may dig this

even the gram parsons song sounded horrible and its hard to mess that up..

what do you guys see in kurt vile? seriously. just atrocious.

You probably think Bob Dylan and Tom Waits are bad "singers" too.

How was Hush Arbors?


That was what I would have been psyched most for if I did not get shut out. Never saw him before. And like Joe said, Kurt Vile live never disappoints.

umm..you couldn't be more wrong! I've seen Dylan live about 15 times and he's probably my favorite musician..and yes, a great "singer"

Love Waits.. but have only seen him once..


All great shows.

To compare Kurt Vile to Bob Dylan is an insult to Bob!

Comparisons of Vile to Springsteen, Petty and now Dylan are laughable!

You're listening wrong then.

I love Kurt Vile and have seen him many times and if Monday was someone's first time seeing him, I can see why they'd leave w/a negative impression. Usually solo acoustic suits him well (best?) but there was something a bit off w/his performance. His set at Red Onion a year ago was far superior. Also didn't help that he didn't play some of his best songs from the new album ("Jesus Fever," "Baby's Arms").

[James Ford]

After listening to his latest album I fall into the Kurt Vile sucks category.

[James Ford]

I'm not sure what you're point is in posting that list. But  if anything hopefully it shows that my tastes are diverse enough so that my liking Kurt Vile is actually a possibility. Hoever, I don't at this time.

I can't, and you're all wrong for thinking otherwise.

Actually, I had trouble getting into the entire show.  But I blame being tired and on the cusp of getting sick more than anything else.  Actually had to bail early during Moore's set...I could barely stand.

But I'm with Hutch...that was a whole lot of racket for an all-acoustic band!

So the new Thurston solo material works well live? I found the recent album mostly boring although I did like his past solo efforts.
