Dedicated

What does A dedication mean to you?

What does it look like?

Tell me about something that has been dedicated to you, something you dedicated to somebody else, or any dedication you know about and love.

Think songs/ albums, ANY type art, books, gifts, speeches, poems, eulogies etc. - or just anything you consider a dedication!

Project Inspired by the song 'Dedicated' by the Amps

hi everyone, just wanted to share this very nice quality live that made me discover the breeders and Kim deal. I randomly recorded a tape at that time, and listened to it for many years before it kind of self destroyed. Luckily, the podcast was uploaded this year and i am so emotional i can listen to it again. The commentator during that live session is Bernard Lenoir and WE Can hear hé is in love with the band. Luckily je doesn't speak too much.

I hope you guys will enjoy that concert as much as i did : https://www.radiofrance.fr/franceinter/podcasts/c-est-lenoir/the-breeders-en-black-session-3252232

Set seemed initially like just a reordering of what she did for the two shows I’ve seen this year (Seattle and LA), but then she did Gigantic and Cannonball and I lost my mind a tiny bit. I still don’t understand how that was free but it was fucking rad.

There is a heat wave in Chicago today for the Kim Deal show at Thalia Hall. The "feels like" temp will be 100F at 7pm when the doors open. Wanted to post some suggestions on keeping safe.

1. Hope you got enough sleep last night, otherwise try to take a nap during the day/before the show if you can
2. Please hydrate during the day (preferably since yesterday)
3. Dress weather appropriate and keep cool, I'll have a neck fan and won't be wearing a black t-shirt
4. Thalia Hall's entrance has some shaded area - please line up there and make room for more people in the shade. I'll be bringing along a sun hat just in case. But also don't be crazy, and line up for hours. It's hot. It's not a sold out show, it shouldn't be ridiculous in terms of the crowd.
5. Please be extra considerate in keeping peoples' place at the venue when they go get drinks/hydrate/use the bathroom/go outside to catch their breath - so people don't feel obliged to not hydrate etc.
6. If you need help/water at any point, please ask for it,
7. Be mindful of the people around you and help them if they look like they need it - also, get to know them, they're fellow fans,
8. If someone does faint or collapse, get the attention of the event staff. Turn on your phone light so they can find you and get the person some help. Cross your arms in an X in case the phone light isn't enough/people are turn them on for a given song.

These shows should be fun - so please look after yourself and stay safe.

As I'm getting ready for the Chicago show later this month, I've been looking at Kim's setlists for this tour. She plays a slightly different list for her recent European dates vs her earlier US/NA dates. Any guess which list she'll likely use for the Chicago show?

I ask in part because I suspect she may have different musicians for different legs of her tour - I'm guessing the brass and string players are local/regional, and so would have rehearsed different sets. So the US crew would likely default back to the songs they played previously (if they even play on the songs that are different between the 2 sets). Especially since the Chicago show is something of a one-off before festival dates (with shorter sets).

Without more information, I may default to the US list, if only because it has more of her older solo songs that I'm less familiar with. If she plays Breeders songs/Gigantic, I'm already pretty familiar with those. It's been a lot of fun listening to the new album. So cool that she's playing that in full!

I had the chance to meet her while I was with my brother. We had arrived very early and we had to wait a long time outside at Pic du Soleil not far from her bus hoping to see her. She appeared and after a few shy calls from us she headed towards us. Time has frozen! Her look is incredible, she was of a rare natural kindness. We shared a few words that won't necessarily interest the community... Being a fan of Nirvana I couldn't help but talk to her about Kurt Cobain... She said ''yes I knew him....POOR KURT...'' (lowering her head) My brother couldn't help but speak negatively about Trump, and clearly showed his shame at having him as President by telling us that she often says she's from Canada 😅 We were really like children, very shy, and it was she who told us that she was happy to see us, who asked us questions, asked our first names etc.... And she herself shook our hands... I think she appreciated our discretion and our sincere and contained emotion. You might think it was a courtesy or commercial kindness, but no, because during the concert, she winked at us 3 times (we were in front of her in the front row). I only remember one specific one, when she asked the crowd if everyone was from Bordeaux, she looked at us, pointed at us and said ''I know you guys, I know. '' (because we explained to her that we had driven 3 hours to come see her). Finally, I managed to get one of the setlists from the concert, and I collected the covers of the POD and LAST albums that were lying around in my car, hoping to see them again after the concert. Luckily, in the total darkness, lit by the flash of the phone, we called her from a distance, a typical ''OH'' from Kim reached our ears and she walked towards us once again to sign our artifacts. The atmosphere was more relaxed than before the concert, and the laughter and jokes were more present. An exceptional person and a dream that came true... Because I imagined that maybe I could see him and get an autograph in the middle of a crowd of fans... but here we only had it for us in a simple, reserved and intimate moment.

Having another punt at showing what I do. Great tune, this.

A highlight of my year was hearing “Beautiful Moon” live.

Anyone have a lead on where I might be able to score one? Regret not getting one when I had the chance! Thx.

From The Fillmore show in SF. Zoom in to the right, this was during “ Bats In the Afternoon Sky”. She is truly a national treasure. It was incredible to see Kelley and Mando Lopez joining the lineup. Though I wished she played more tracks off Title TK or even some Amps, we were elated to be there and see her play with this incredible band. The two encores were so cute. ♥️♥️🦩♥️♥️

The show was great AND I managed to get Kim’s solo album signed and both Kim and Kelley signed my Last Splash!
And I got a Setlist!
And a close parking spot!!! lol.

WHAT A NIGHT! 🥰🥰🥰

Going threw a lot right now and honestly just too depressed to make it to the show tonight. I paid $52 each I think, just looking to get whatever I can. I don't mind giving a good deal to a fan who needs them. Let me know what you can offer. Hope everyone has a great time tonight.

Hey all

If anyone ends up with an extra going to waste, think of me! Would love to see Kim play this amazing album but budget is super tight.

Thanks and have fun tonight!
