Seether Geezer

After the concert in Texas, 2022, I was not able to see Seether in concert until April of this year.   They were busy with new babies (Shaun and Dale) and although I missed them, I certainly don't begrudge them the time. My youngest "baby" turned 31 this year. We were watching TV and the show pictured a small baby. She asked me if I missed my kids as babies. I shut my eyes and could feel the weight of a small body on my chest, the smell of a baby's hair, the uncontrolled giggles and looked at her and said, "Yes. Yes, I do." It's all over so quickly. I did take my husband to see Shinedown at our local venue in 2023. I liked them so much the first time. It was partially successful. The lineup was Spiritbox, Papa Roach and Shinedown. We were in the second row back in the first section which was fine until the rather tall couple in the seats in front of us, who were Papa Roach fans, arrived. They stood up to dance and we were unable to see Papa R...

  5:40-6:20 The Hu My husband has been listening to The Hu on You Tube.  They had a few out and we watched Wolf Totem both the original and the one with Jacoby Shaddix and Song of Women with Lzzy Hale.  As of this date, there are many more and concert recordings as well.  Being old school, or just old, my husband and I spent some time playing  "Who's on First" with the band names: The Hu vs. The Who.  Stupid jokes never get old.  We wondered if Jacoby Shaddix would join The Hu for the song he did with them, but it wasn't to be. Background:  A folk and mental music band from Mongolia, The Hu use both standard rock instruments and traditional instruments from their home country to create an outstanding blend of both.  Vocals also incorporate Mongolian throat singing, a powerful sound.  This band is composed of classically trained musicians who play many different instruments.  Some have taught music, made or restored instruments, won ...

  Dallas Weather Sunday May 29, 2022 We drove into Dallas after breakfast Sunday, glad that the concert was not on a weekday or even on Saturday.  Traffic was pretty light and we allowed two hours to get to the venue by the time the parking lot opened.  We got to the lot at entrance #9 like the directions said.  Nope, it was #10 so we went back around and a kind, red-bearded employee said we were in the right place but sadly admitted than restrooms were inside the venue which opened at 2:00.  Aakkk! Walgreens is the closest restroom so we went there, making a U-Turn, of course, because I headed the wrong way down the street Walgreens was on.  You should be used to this by now.  You may be wondering why my husband doesn't insist on driving.  Well, I get bored just sitting there and if I suck at directions while driving, think of what it would be like having me provide directions while you drive.  Nope. I headed towards the restroom behind a ga...

  What brings me to Dallas?  Seether, of course!  The start of my second summer of Seether.  I have my tickets in hand.  Well, on my phone.  I have the Si Vis Pacem Para Bellum deluxe edition plus T-shirt on order.  Well, pre-order.  I got to listen to Deliver Me  once before they realized their mistake and took it back down.  I listened to Leech on the airplane.  Yeah, that didn't work out.  Pretty bad if you can't hear Seether through the earbuds stuck in your ears.  And the flight crew had an announcement in the middle of the song.  "Dong". "Something, something about safety." Don't you know you are interrupting Seether!   Yes, I know I'm being ridiculous. Let's move on.  So with the March practice under my belt, I took out my ID early, put everything, including shoes and phone in boxes to be scanned and remembered to tell the official by the scanning booth I had a belt on.  He had me take it o...

  Seether, Idaho 2021 T ouring strikes me as being told where to go every day for months by a sadistic travel agent.  In the continuing saga of seeing Seether on tour, we start our second Summer of Seether waiting for concert dates posted on their website.  The very first one I saw was for the Welcome to Rockville 2022 in Daytona Beach Florida.  I approached my husband, who is my plus one on these trips, to discuss the merits of this choice.  For us, these are our vacations for the year, so although seeing Seether is the focus (for me at least), the location is also a consideration.  I described the event, more like Aftershock than a single concert.  It's a four day festival with pretty much all the hard rock/metal bands I've ever heard of.  A four-day general audience pass is $1,039.00 each person.  It's Florida in May.  Airplane tickets plus accommodations.  I said, "I'm not sure about Florida."  My husband just said, "Well, ...

  North + South America Thursday, November 11th • 7pm MST It's November!  I was pushing it with October, but I can hardly call November "Summer".  Well, I'm not going to call this "The Fall of Seether".  That sounds a bit dire and also too close to "The Fall of Caesar."  Small tangent, I'm doing some transcription of interviews with the band, since the earliest ones seem to be disappearing from the Internet. I use the captions feature to help out and it's amazing the variety of interpretations for "Seether".  Caesar.  Shawntel Seaver which is actually "Shaun and Dale from Seether" Sirvir.  I won't even get started with what captions does with Dale and Shaun's South African accents. My last concert of the year will be the film from the Ace of Spades concert in Sacramento.  I saw a small clip of it and although I have heard the performance in person, I will be able to hear what the band is talking about between the...

  F riday, we set off for our day at Aftershock.  Between hotel reservations, tickets for Ace of Spades on my phone, parking and upgrades, Aftershock tickets which are wristbands, health checks (paper wristbands), locker payment (printed sheet) and locker wristband, old enough to drink wristband, I was having a bit of trouble keeping track of where everything was.  Paper?  Physical wristband?  Tickets on Ticketmaster? Downloaded somewhere on my phone? My wristbands on my wrist, my phone in my "brocket" (stuck in my bra, a friend came up with that one.)  My phone goes on the left, over my heart, to stop any stray bullets.  Physically inaccurate, but literarily poetic.  We part the truck and are immediately hit up by a man selling Aftershock t-shirts out of his car.  This will be a trend throughout the day. No, we don't want potentially fake Aftershock t-shirts, we really want to know if we are in the right parking lot or we are going to get to...
