I don&#8217;t know how they do that, it was spectacular. And we finally got to see the great St. Vincent who put on an epic show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Being in the presence of both Kamasi Washington and Andr\u00e9 3000 and listening to their music live was a very special treat. Hans Zimmer may have been the biggest surprise. We almost didn&#8217;t go, and it was an amazing show with upwards of 40 truly great musicians performing on stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And we love Mike Birbiglia and James Acaster and they were perfectly hysterical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Jan 19 &#8211; Mike Birbiglia<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Feb 16 &#8211; Aparna Nancherla<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mar 6 &#8211; James Acaster<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>May 3 &#8211; IDLES<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>May 14 &#8211; The Postal Service &amp; Death Cab for Cutie<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>May 19 &#8211; LCD Soundsystem&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>May 30 &#8211; Kamasi Washington&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Jun 10 &#8211; Nick Lowe &amp; Ron Sexsmith<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Jun 23 &#8211; Iron &amp; Wine<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Aug 11 &#8211; St. Vincent&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sep 3 &#8211; Frank Turner<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sep 20 &#8211; James &amp; Johnny Marr<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sep 29 &#8211; Gary Gulman<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Oct 2 &#8211; War on Drugs &amp; The National<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Oct 6 &#8211; Hans Zimmer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Oct 11 &#8211; Andr\u00e9 3000<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Oct 12 &#8211; Brittany Howard &amp; Michael Kiwanuka<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nov 4 &#8211; The The&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here&#8217;s to a great 2025, we already have tickets to some great shows that I&#8217;m looking forward to, including a tour celebrating the 25th anniversary of American Football\u2019s LP1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I also saw lots of <a href=\"https:\/\/azaroff.com\/?p=16443\">great films<\/a> and read many <a href=\"https:\/\/azaroff.com\/?p=16445\">good books<\/a> in 2024.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This was another year where I was lucky enough to see some amazing shows and performers.
