Neil Young Plays the Nokia Theatre LA Live Tonight

Tuesday 10/30/07:

Tivo Alert: The Sex Pistols on Leno

[PICK] Neil Young / Pegi Young @ Nokia Theatre L.A. Live ($75-$257) – I probably listen to Neil Young more than any other artist. His set lists have been great. The fact that this show didn’t sell out is a testament to the shitty job that the promoter did. The ticket prices are outrageous. They added a second show before the first one sold it. They probably offered an insane guarantee. I’m seeing one of the all-time favorite artists and I have buyer’s remorse.

[RECOMMENDED] Broken Social Scene Plays Kevin Drew’s Spirit If @ Orpheum ($23) – Broken Social Scene’s a pretty good band. The new album’s pretty boring though.

[RECOMMENDED] Thurston Moore @ Echoplex ($20) – He is Thurston Moore (which can be a good or bad thing).

[RECOMMENDED] Battles / No Age @ Henry Fonda ($18) – For the more experimentally inclined math rockers. I wasn’t as into the Battles record as most. I still haven’t seen No Age.

Ted Leo / Quasi @ El Rey ($16) – I saw Ted Leo recently. He was OK. Quasi used to be pretty fun to see.

New Young Pony Club @ Echo ($18) – For the dance rock crowd.

Regina Spektor @ The Wiltern ($23-30)

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band @ LA Sports Arena ($90)

Fatlip and Tre Hardson @ Knitting Factory ($18) – For the hip-hop fans.
