That was some good detective work about the Dash Rip Rock / Dash Rip Rock & The Dragons. I didn't even think to check Discogs on the other band. Hope you get to see the show this weekend....and that you aren't getting all the cold weather and rain we have here!!

Hope you are feeling better! I'd love to see the Arc Angels and Madam Radar. Sounds like a good double bill. I need to email Bill Davis about those Dash Rip Rock dates...all the info I've ever found says they formed in the summer 1984. I know that Bill was in a band called the Human Rayz before Dash, and they did one single in 1984 before they broke up, and then Dash did their first single that year as "Lost Highway", then changed their name to Dash Rip Rock. I've lost touch with Clarke, the original drummer, who I was good friends with too. Fred from Cowboy Mouth actually lives here in my town...so I'll start quizzing him when I run into him again. If you feel up to the task, it would be nice to find out for sure. Get some rest, and hope you feel better soon.

Do you think that the Dash Rip Rock that played those 1983 Dallas dates are the same band as Dash Rip Rock & The Dragons??

Hey Scott! I was wondering if the Dash Rip Rock dates in Dallas at Railhead in 1983, are a different band than the Louisiana band. According to wikipedia, they didn't form until the summer of 1984, which is about right, as I went to LSU with Bill Davis (he was about 2 years ahead of me) and F. Clarke Martty, the original drummer. I also used to rent Hoaky's PA from him for bands I booked when I got there in the end of 1984. What are your thoughts on this?
I should have asked Bill Davis last night when we hung out after there show here in Alexandria.

Good point about Ticketmaster as a source, though the same issue arises if you use links from the artist's official website too.

Seems suspect, indeed. I googled it and the only mention outside of setlist.fm is a tweet or two that could also be fake. I'd bring it up on the same forum. A Mod could likely delete all of those sets and the venue. That's above my paygrade, but I'm with you on it looking odd, for sure.

Hello, I have an unusual request. I see that you attended Journey's concert in Dallas, TX on July 9, 1983, and I was wondering, did you happen to record their concert that night, or do you know anyone who did record? If so, please email me at lapitanboys6@gmail.com.

Hey Scott. I have pictures and notes. I will check.

Venue details changed, thanks for the info.

Sure does. Also I find no evidence for The Mini Club in Garland used for his other edit. I left a warning but have a feeling this is not just an honest mistake. We'll see. Thanks.

I think this issue is more complex than I first realised, I've created a forum topic for it.

setlist.fm pulls its artist profile from musicbrainz. There are two separate entries for "Alice Cooper" on musicbrainz.

If you disagree with this, please perform the necessary edits on musicbrainz, and then report back to setlist.fm to follow suit once those edits have been approved.

I'm afraid I don't know what you mean at all.
28 shows you attended are not split at all.
They are all Alice Cooper (the musician Vincent Damon Furnier) shows, not Alice Cooper (the group).

Please take a deep breath and see below.

This entry is for the original Alice Cooper band, not the individual by the same name.
This group disbanded in late 1974-early 1975.
Please do not add any Events to this artist if they occurred after 1974.

That Wildflower line-up looks good...let me see if I can get off work for that !!!!

Still hanging in there. Looks like you're finally getting a chance to see some interesting shows again.

Thanks! Checking out King Clam this morning. Not bad at all!!!

I know what you mean...back in college, I used to be friends with a lot of the local bands, and while you liked them as people, and you didn't always like their music. You didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings. I'm the same with the big names...loved Metallica until around the "Black Album" period, and just lost interest...As far as Madam Radar/Texas KGB "Hands" is a good song (going to be on the new album)..."Young Wild Love"...worth checking out...a lot of live clips on youtube and I think everything but the 1st album by the Texas KGB is on spotify

Still enjoying those recommendations of yours. Did you ever get into Madam Radar (formerly the Texas KGB)? Kelly Green is one darn good guitarist. Their new songs get better and better. They play all over Texas...one hard working band. trying to get them over here to Louisiana for some gigs

Been checking that lineup for Wildflower...would love to see Jason Eady again, and really like Curtis McMurtry and Jamie Lin Wilson's stuff too...Let me see what our workload at the hospital looks like...

Wish I could see BettySoo at Wildflower. Not sure how soon Nobody's Girl will be doing any live shows, as Grace Pettis moved to Ireland a few months back.
