Coheed and Cambria (GA1) + The Dear Hunter US Tour Spring 2017

Holy mother..my favorite Coheed and Cambria album in FULL plus The Dear Hunter, is a can't ,miss barring some unforseen conflict.

First Avenue, which, while my take on them in the distant past and still recently has been documented in here a lot, I guess I'm overall happy to see TDH especially back there for the 1st time literally in 10 years.almost to the day.

edit: April 23, 2007 with Meg and Dia, Say Anything and Saves the Day.

Good Apollo 1, while I was obsessed with 10 or more years ago, I still love and is a staple 5-star masterpiece.

And I know TDH have toured with Coheed in the past, namely with Porcupine Tree in 2010 if I recall, etc..but of course that tour didn't come to Minnesota anyway.

I guess the only issue I kind of have is the fact it's on a Saturday night in downtown Mpls of course, but so be it.

Conflicts? no Twins game since they play in Cleveland that day/night. Nothing scheduled at Target Center unless the Timberwolves make the playoffs and have a long series in the 2nd round (assuming they win their 1st round series, lol). No Lynx either.

The wife of course, "Papa goes off and party while I stay home, etc"..if only she was willing to sit through these 2 bands, but that would be torture to her. At least it's on or even the Saturday/Weekend after her bday.

And I may somehow get on my Lifetime Membership guest list spot, although I'm not expecting it, given TDH aren't headlining, but Max posted in the FB group this show is a bit of an exception.

Honestly though, I love The Lifetime Membership thing, and don't mind the amounts of things it comes with going fwd, but the Guest List thing kind of has been challenging and maybe more work to worry about than it has been worth for me given I have been put on the guest list a few times, but from memory, those times were after many attempts to email the email request. I'm not sure how much time it requires or more of the busy schedule that Max and whoever else has organized it has had.

Or maybe just a bad luck thing. I do know there have been a number of Lifers at shows in MN and so it's not like I've been the only one requesting it with limited spots, etc. But in the last few years I kind of resounded to the fact just to buy a ticket regardless. This show with Coheed and being First Avenue, I suppose is a little pricier ($35 or more for the VIP pkgs), and given I am trying to save money again, the guest list thing would help maybe more so. Plus I know Coheed has a Rabid fanbase and have played First Avenue before, so selling tickets for this thing I suspect won't be a struggle.,

Hopefully nothing will be in that RECORD ROOM too, although their likely will be. And currently nothing scheduled at  7th Street The Entry either, which I'm sure will change soon.

edit: I sent the email and GOT ON THE GUESTLIST! WOOHOO THANKS MAX!

I'll have to use that money instead on Merch and/or Dinner I suppose.

Link to sample?

As a Lifetime Member, I along with Antone from the link above, had a Postcard sent per Equalvision Records and The Dear Hunter of course.

From Postcard:

"Consider. Observe yourself in the mirror. Are you particularly happy? Do you feel your hair graying? Are you the person you feel is found in the real world and by that I mean do you tell the truth? My friends I have found myself unconvinced some days, the Great War long gone, the very fabric of our society is at an impasse. Do we stumble out from the humdrum? Rise to the street as it meets us? Or are we singing hymns with the devil in confession? Believe me when I tell you, we are the makers of our own destinies. I look forward to seeing and speaking with you all on the streets of our beautiful city. Goodnight and God bless."

Wedneday afternoon at 1PM Central time, something is being launched/announced etc..perhaps Act V? a Pledgemusic or maybe something new/different, etc.

Guess we'll find out tomorrow afternoon.

Also a new song or 2 to share:

I feel a little bad/guilty to have not shared this many weeks or even months ago, as I recall 1st learning about it back in late December. My initial reaction was $100? why that much? and in comparing it to The Dear Hunter's Lifetime Membership, which was only $25, but FOR LIFE, it didn't seem like quite as good a deal. 5 Years is awhile, but it also has to be asked, to get USE out of it, Ours or Jimmy Gnecco HAVE TO ACTUALLY COME TO MINNESOTA. Which for the 1st 2 or more years I recall, when I was a fan (2005-2007) they/he did not. But then within a 2-year period, they came 4 times, only once not headlining. And then Jimmy was last in Minnesota in 2010 opening for Greg Laswell.

So, I suppose odds are they'll/Jimmy will end up back in town at least a few times in the next 5 years.

Plus, maybe using it in other towns isn't as far fetched as it may sound for me. Even just Chicago.

And the fact they haven't even determined everything it'll give access to, besides the perks listed there. Especially if anything ever comes about with Jimmy and Velvet Revolver/Slash. Namely, if some kind of collaboration happens, and suddenly a large demographic of people start to check out Ours/Jimmy's music as a result, having this CARD will allow me to still get to chat with Jimmy and the band, before or after shows without considering the venue or crowd.

Although like The Dear Hunter's Lifetime Membership I suspect, it will only happen at HEADLINE gigs at this point.

I would say for even the casual Ours or Jimmy fan at this point, it's a bit to spend, but anyone whose pretty into them, it very well may be more than worth getting.

Unfortunately, the deadline to purchase one ends on Saturday March 31st according to that link above. And as it says, this very likely will be a 1-time only offer. Now in 5 years, renewing it might be a possibility, but no guarantee about that. I suppose it depends on how successful this project is.

As far as Ours/Jimmy they are supposedly working on a new record right now, and Jimmy also has plans for Weathervane. But both of those camps have been relatively quiet from the stuff I've seen. I'm hoping some news will come in the next few months. I know there's a show coming up in April I think, so they are still playing live. But I recall not that long ago (within the last 2 months), Static posted on twitter, writing music for the next Ours record.
