Tonight, for one night only, Bob Dylan will be playing at the Fox Theatre in Downtown Detroit. The show starts at 7:30 and tickets are going for anywhere from 39.50 to 70 bucks. After researching the set lists from previous concerts on this tour at bobdylan.com, it looks like he's doing a lot of older songs, not just the stuff from his latest album "Together Through Life." Dylan has also released a Christmas album, "Christmas in the Heart." Proving that he really doesn't care what anyone else thinks.
Also playing tonight are a pair of Seattle Grunge cover bands, Ten (Pearl Jam covers) and Badmotorfinger (Soundgarden covers), at Ferndale's Magic Bag. Tickets are $10 in advance and the show starts at 8pm. This might be a sweet show to see and for only ten bucks it's a steal. Plus The Magic Bag also serves beer from the WAB across the street so you can drink some quality microbrews while you listen to the sounds of your youth... if you are 27 like me. I will say that Nirvana was probably my favorite grunge band of the early 90's. Their tribute band, Nevermind, is currently touring but is playing in North Dakota tonight. It seems as though all three, plus an Alice in Chains tribute band were touring together as the Sounds of Seattle Tour, but some legal stuff got in the way and Nevermind had to leave the tour. Bummer, because having all those grunge tribute bands in one night would have been awesome. It's good to know that some people are still buying flannel shirts and ripped up jeans.
I was recently invited to Pongtoberfest, or Poctoberfest? in Ferndale. Some really cool people that my wife works with are holding this event at the Ferndale VFW hall tomorrow, Saturday November 7th. It is a giant beer pong competition and is invite only. Sadly, I will not be able to take part, but the good news is that events like this take place. I wish the best of luck to all the team and wish to partake in the future.
