"Closer to Fine" from Barbie got me back into the Indigo Girls, which led me to Melissa Etheridge and Liz Phair.

Heroin, earliest demo.

The acoustics at the armory must be crazy good too

Joe Bonamassa released a cover of Guitar Slim's "Well, I Done Got Over It". Nice little toe tapper.

That is a f-cking venue. Hell yeah. It looks like a cross between Appleton Arena and Alien.

Cool. Thanks for the info. Looked like an incredible venue from the pictures on google.

A couple photos from the Armory's Facebook page, and the camera makes them look farther away than they are in reality.

This was the view of the show from the far end club area:



This was basically the view from my seat (think I was sitting right next to the guy as he took this pic):

Was wondering about the armory. Was looking at a concert later this year. Crazy prices.

did you have floor? how was that?

Wife is 5'3", so I splurged and got balcony seats so she could actually see.

Floor is just a big open space, with elevated space on each side. The stage was decently elevated to give some chance to see the stage from the back, but that only helps so much if you're short or have a 6'7" dude in front of you. The bar runs the length of the venue on both sides, so there's never a wait to order anything, and plenty of bathrooms so the lines didn't seem long even for the women between sets. Middle level and the end opposite the stage were club areas of varying price points, upper balcony is two rows of reserved seating but over hangs the club level, so it's still pretty close to the action.

Before the renovation, the Armory was a dilapidated building, turned into a parking lot with a partially caved in roof. Amazing work they did to restore it.

Yellowcard concert on Saturday was awesome. All the openers (This Wild Life, Story of the Year, Mayday Parade) were good, and Yellowcard had a rock solid 90 minute set. While not sold out, floor was at least 3/4ths full with a good mix of Gen X and elder millennials there for nostalgia and then 20-somethings there as well. Was entertaining watching about 30 middle-aged dudes doing a mosh pit from the balcony.

And kudos to Minneapolis for the Armory. They did a brilliant job renovating that into a music venue.

Kid Rock announced a "No Snowflakes" tour.

By his logic, he's not even allowed at his own shows.

I saw Poster Children tonight and they kicked ***!

They’re just as energetic as they were 30 years ago.

they played these two songs back to back at the end of the set:
