Re: Worst tour of year Heart/Cheap Trick coming to LA arena
I saw this same package back in 1990(?) on Heart's Brigade tour. I think I'll just live with that memory.

Give it a rest.
You thought S. Laughter was a good show last year, even though Mark's live voice is known to be effective torture at CIA black site prisons.
Your credibility is less than zero.

Seems very ambitious to book this at the Crypt. Much more appropriate for the Greek. Guess it would have gone to Fivepoint if it were still up and running.
As for worst tour, I think Live/STP/Soul Asylum gets my vote over this.

Yeah, the last time they came through my area together Joan Jett was also on the bill and it was at a medium sized outdoor place and it wasn't sold out. This time they are playing an arena that holds twice the number of people, but no Joan.Hair I Go Again wrote: ↑Tue Apr 02, 2024 1:36 pm Seems very ambitious to book this at the Crypt.

Re: Worst tour of year Heart/Cheap Trick coming to LA arena
Heart already plays 50% covers. Why add Joan? Is an additional set of all covers needed?woblinweebles wrote: ↑Tue Apr 02, 2024 2:36 pmYeah, the last time they came through my area together Joan Jett was also on the bill and it was at a medium sized outdoor place and it wasn't sold out.

Re: Worst tour of year Heart/Cheap Trick coming to LA arena
Never understood why CT kept getting booked on big tours of any sort. Not saying this is a big tour at all, but who gives a flying fuck about this band in 2024. Heart is no different. Just old people going through the motions.

Same night as Hoodoo Gurus at the El Rey but added to calendar just in case.
9/28/24 The Motels @ Canyon Club Montclair
9/28/24 Hoodoo Gurus @ El Rey Theatre
9/28/24 Mitski / Sharon Van Etten @ Hollywood Bowl
9/28/24 Heart / Cheap Trick @ Crypto Arena
Crypto could have been the only available venue. I saw the Go Go's there to like 4000 in 2022.

Heart/Cheap Trick is like watching a classic rock tour package with two opening acts and no headliner.

CT has just toured Australia. Friends that went said they were terrible.

Re: Worst tour of year Heart/Cheap Trick coming to LA arena
It's no contest. Sharon Van Etten is superb. I don't know much about Mitski except she's one of the latest "in-things" but the little I've heard, I didn't want to turn off.ijwthstd wrote: ↑Tue Apr 02, 2024 3:38 pm Same night as Hoodoo Gurus at the El Rey but added to calendar just in case.

No offense, but are you really in a position to question the credibility of someone whose dream show is Roxy Blue/Nelson being opened by Ace Von Johnson+Faster Pussycat drunk bass player doing an acoustic set of WWE theme songs?

I was just about to post "this is probably a one-off" but then an ad popped up on the screen for a show at the Garden!Mister Freeze wrote: ↑Tue Apr 02, 2024 6:01 pm Heart/Cheap Trick is like watching a classic rock tour package with two opening acts and no headliner.
Still... I think both bands are opening for Def Leppard and Journey on alternate nights so they are probably filling in dates by doing shows together. Pretty impressive but I agree, it's more like a theater show or a headliner show without the headliner!

Re: Worst tour of year Heart/Cheap Trick coming to LA arena
You are absolutely right but I've seen her in small venues though. 3 times total and Hoodoo Gurus only twice. They are more "rare" because it's usually once a decade. Still haven't actually heard Mitski yet either.GoodJudge wrote: ↑Wed Apr 03, 2024 1:14 amIt's no contest. Sharon Van Etten is superb.

Re: Worst tour of year Heart/Cheap Trick coming to LA arena
In all fairness they do seem to have the top section curtained off. Also looks like the middle section only has the back open, not the sides. Probably takes it to the size of the greek, so it's odd they aren't just going there.

I saw Cheap Trick a few years ago and they sounded great. Zander could still sing unlike a lot of older bands still touring. Not sure where the hate for Cheap Trick is coming from unless they fell off a cliff since then.

Re: Worst tour of year Heart/Cheap Trick coming to LA arena
This pairing actually makes sense because Ann and Robin duetted on “Surrender to Me”. Think they’ll do that one together on tour?

That would actually be awesome! Add Loverboy to the tour so they can also do Almost Paradise.
And for the 80s trifecta, Robin can do In This Country from the Over the Top soundtrack. Cheesy (but great) song and it’s a fine vocal from him.

Re: Worst tour of year Heart/Cheap Trick coming to LA arena
When I read that these two were pairing up for a summer tour, I thought it made sense in sheds where Live Nation is often desperate to get enough acts to flesh out a complete summer series, Ergo, I was shocked enough to see it in the NBA/NHL Arenas. Made zero sense. This fall leg is going to MSG and the Crypt. Weird.

Re: Worst tour of year Heart/Cheap Trick coming to LA arena
Heart has enough of their own music from the 70s/80s that there’s NO need for any of the covers! That’s just annoying! I know they have issues with their 80s records but do it for the fans!

Cheap Trick, while just opening will play more CT songs than Heart will play Heart songs
