What to Do in St Louis?

As I click Publish, there are 77 days until my trip to St. Louis with Matthew to see Metallica. We are leaving on Thursday, 11-02, and will return home on Monday, 11-6. I recently found out that there's a great local band playing at Pop's in Sauget, IL, on Saturday, 11-4. I've never been to Pop's in Sauget, IL, but I know there are a lot of bands that I would like to see in concert that play there. For example, if I lived in the Saint Louis area, I would likely attend all three of these concerts:

However, I won't be going to any of them because I can't justify the 10+ hours in the car (roundtrip) to see any of those bands. Of the 5 bands listed, I've seen "The Devil Wears Prada" in concert. I also can say that Devildriver played at Chicago Open Air 2017. I could have seen them playing from a distance, but I have no specific memory of that. I remember Alex and I went to Mass on Sunday morning, but I don't recall what time we arrived at the concert. Here is the lineup from that day:

Sunday (July 16) LIneup:


Monster Energy Main Stage

  • 8:25PM Ozzy Osbourne
  • 6:25PM Stone Sour
  • 5:05PM Lamb of God
  • 3:40PM Amon Amarth
  • 2:30PM Hellyeah
  • 1:30PM Demon Hunter
  • 12:30PM DED
  • Blackcraft Stage

  • 7:20PM Slayer
  • 4:35PM Behemoth
  • 3:10PM Kyng
  • 2:00PM DevilDriver
  • 1:00PM Norma Jean
  • 12:05PM Whores
  • 11:15AM Aversed

All of that is nice to reflect upon as I think about going to see New Lingo at Pop's in Sauget, IL. This is a map from our hotel to the venus - a short 8 minute drive:

And this is what the band sounds like.

And here's some more tunes by the band.

This is the Geeky Kind of Stuff I Love

I saw this information about Metallica's 2023 tour and instantly developed an admiration for the person who took the setlists from Metallica's 2003 tour and created this information.

The Latest Metallica Setlist

This is a good setlist and I hope they play a setlist similar to this one in St Louis in only 168 days!

Not Getting in the Pit

When I go with Matthew to see Metallica in St Louis - as I'm writing this, the concert is 177 days away!!! - our tickets are not for the infamous "Snake Pit" in the middle of the stage. Those tickets for the St. Louis show were sold out.
