All 25 Warped Tour Lineups, Ranked

Warped Tour is one of the biggest names in the concert canon. Those who haven't gone want to and those who have gone wait for the day they can go again. For a majority of its run, it was the largest traveling music festival in the United States. A number of past Warped Tour lineups have been impressive, but which year was the best? Help decide below! 

Starting as an eclectic alternative rock festival in 1995 and gradually morphing into a punk rock festival by the next year, the tour gained momentum when Vans, the wildly popular shoe manufacturer, was signed on as the tour's main sponsor in 1996. As Warped Tour became increasingly popular with each passing year, more sponsors signed on, slowly growing the tour's scope of influence. Sadly, 2018 proved to be the final year of the famous tour as announced by Warped Tour's founder, Kevin Lyman. 

You'll find every Warped Tour lineup here! Vote below on the best Warped Tour lineups, keeping in mind factors like the bands performing, production value, and overall spectacle. If you're an avid concert-goer, you can also check out this list of the best Coachella lineups ! (Disclaimer - some years certain dates had slightly different lineups).

First All-Star Ballot update: Close races and favorites emerging

Thomas Harrigan

Read our story on the balloting format, which includes two phases of fan voting to determine the All-Star starters.

The Yankees’ Aaron Judge and the Phillies’ Bryce Harper are the leading vote-getters for the American League and National League, respectively, in our first update of the 2024 MLB All-Star Ballot presented by BuildSubmarines.com .

If that’s still the case when Phase 1 of the voting concludes, Judge and Harper will automatically receive starting spots in their league’s lineup for the 2024 MLB All-Star Game presented by Mastercard at Globe Life Field in Arlington on July 16.

• VOTE NOW: 2024 MLB All-Star Ballot presented by BuildSubmarines.com Ballot

Of course, a lot can change between now and the end of Phase 1 on June 27 at noon ET. During this period, you can vote as many as five times per every 24-hour period exclusively at MLB.com, on all 30 MLB club sites and on the MLB app.

Judge, the overall leading vote-getter with 1,366,315, is fewer than 115,000 votes ahead of his Yankees teammate, Juan Soto, for the top spot. Meanwhile, Harper (1,110,562 votes) is one of four NL players with more than 1 million votes, along with Phillies teammate Alec Bohm, Dodgers shortstop Mookie Betts and Dodgers designated hitter Shohei Ohtani.

• 9 overlooked players who deserve more All-Star love

The leading vote-getter in each league during Phase 1 will receive an automatic spot in their team’s starting lineup. Beyond those two players, the top two vote-getters at every position, and the top six outfielders, will advance to Phase 2 of the voting, which begins June 30. If an outfielder is a league's leading vote-getter, only the next four outfield finalists will move on to Phase 2 to determine who starts at the two remaining spots.

As Phase 1 of the voting rolls on, a number of close positional races have taken shape, including AL first base (Vladimir Guerrero Jr. leading Ryan Mountcastle), AL second base (Jose Altuve leading Marcus Semien), a three-way battle for AL designated hitter (Yordan Alvarez leading Giancarlo Stanton and David Fry) and NL second base (Luis Arraez leading Ketel Marte).

Here's a look at the current All-Star vote totals, position by position, for the AL and NL.

• Complete All-Star Ballot standings

AMERICAN LEAGUE

1. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. , Blue Jays: 746,031 2. Ryan Mountcastle , Orioles: 693,594 3. Josh Naylor , Guardians: 404,389 4. Anthony Rizzo , Yankees: 269,056 5. Nathaniel Lowe , Rangers: 162,404

Seeking his fourth All-Star selection and third starting nod for the AL, Guerrero is locked in a tight race -- the closest of any position on the AL side of the ballot -- with Mountcastle, who would be a first-time All-Star in his fifth MLB season. Naylor, one of the top hitters on the AL Central-leading Guardians, is also looking to nail down his first All-Star selection.

SECOND BASE

1. Jose Altuve , Astros: 620,724 2. Marcus Semien , Rangers: 539,223 3. Michael Massey , Royals: 341,510 4. Jorge Mateo , Orioles: 276,440 5. Andrés Giménez , Guardians: 265,999

Altuve already holds the Astros record for All-Star selections with eight (including five fan-vote wins). If he earns his ninth, he’d tie Red Schoendienst and Bobby Doerr for the second most among second basemen in AL/NL history and pull within one of Ryne Sandberg’s positional record. In second place is Semien, who is angling for his second straight starting nod at second base for the AL.

1. José Ramírez , Guardians: 742,910 2. Jordan Westburg , Orioles: 366,670 3. Rafael Devers , Red Sox: 342,046 4. Oswaldo Cabrera , Yankees: 218,650 5. Isiah Kiner-Falefa , Blue Jays: 199,424

Ramírez has made five All-Star teams, but he hasn’t started since 2018. That could change this year, with the Guardians third baseman opening up a huge lead over the rest of the AL field at the hot corner. Westburg has a slight lead over Devers, the starting third baseman for the AL in 2021 and '22, to determine who else will advance to Phase 2.

1. Gunnar Henderson , Orioles: 740,436 2. Bobby Witt Jr. , Royals: 541,261 3. Anthony Volpe , Yankees: 339,150 4. Corey Seager , Rangers: 295,300 5. Bo Bichette , Blue Jays: 231,694

Already among the best players in the game, the 22-year-old Henderson and the 24-year-old Witt could be battling over the starting shortstop spot in the AL for years to come. Both players are eyeing their first All-Star selection. The same goes for Volpe, another budding young star at 23 years old.

1. Aaron Judge , Yankees: 1,366,315 2. Juan Soto , Yankees: 1,252,020 3. Kyle Tucker , Astros: 593,358 4. Steven Kwan , Guardians: 464,274 5. Anthony Santander , Orioles: 321,333 6. Alex Verdugo , Yankees: 293,984 7. Colton Cowser , Orioles: 278,573 8. Adolis García , Rangers: 257,623 9. Mike Trout , Angels: 253,710

The AL outfield features some heavy hitters, including the top-three players on the league’s OPS leaderboard: Judge, Soto and Tucker. The Judge-Soto tandem has been instrumental in the Yankees’ incredible start, leading the Bronx Bombers to the best record in baseball. Judge and Soto are actually the two leading vote-getters in the Majors, with more than 2.6 million votes between them. Tucker is currently on the injured list after fouling a ball off his right shin on June 4, but he is expected back soon as he pursues his first career All-Star starting nod. Kwan, who’d be a first-time All-Star, is also having an outstanding campaign, recording MLB’s best batting average (minimum 150 PAs) at .398.

Barring a late charge from Trout, this would mark the first time since 2012 that he didn’t earn a starting spot in the AL outfield via the fan vote, snapping his streak at 10 straight fan-vote wins. The Angels outfielder is sidelined after undergoing surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee in early May.

1. Adley Rutschman , Orioles: 792,857 2. Salvador Perez , Royals: 588,952 3. Jose Trevino , Yankees: 234,469 4. Danny Jansen , Blue Jays: 212,782 5. Jonah Heim , Rangers: 176,821

Rutschman is more than 203,000 votes ahead of Perez, a six-time All-Star starter behind the plate. The 2019 No. 1 overall pick could become just the third Orioles catcher to win the All-Star fan vote dating back to 1970, joining Terry Kennedy (1987) and Matt Wieters (2014).

DESIGNATED HITTER

1. Yordan Alvarez , Astros: 475,158 2. Giancarlo Stanton , Yankees: 408,610 3. David Fry , Guardians: 379,845 4. Ryan O'Hearn , Orioles: 290,091 5. Josh Jung , Rangers: 208,187

Shohei Ohtani was the AL’s starting DH in each of the past three years, but with the superstar slugger jumping over to the NL when he joined the Dodgers in free agency, the door is open for someone else to claim the starting spot this year. We have a close race brewing between two established names in Alvarez and Stanton, but it will be interesting to see whether Fry can close the gap and advance to Phase 2. Cleveland’s super-utility man has been one of the biggest surprises in MLB this season, turning heads at the plate (.983 OPS) while making appearances at five different defensive positions (C, 1B, 3B, LF, RF) in addition to DH.

NATIONAL LEAGUE

1. Bryce Harper , Phillies: 1,110,562 2. Freddie Freeman , Dodgers: 713,858 3. Matt Olson , Braves: 154,672 4. Pete Alonso , Mets: 151,602 5. Jake Cronenworth , Padres: 139,632

In his first season as a full-time first baseman, Harper not only has taken a sizable lead over Freeman -- the NL’s starting first baseman at four of the past five All-Star Games -- he’s leading the entire NL in voting. If that holds, Harper would become the first Phillie to win the fan vote at first base since John Kruk in 1993. Harper himself has won the fan vote six times previously, five times as an outfielder and once as a DH.

1. Luis Arraez , Padres: 613,068 2. Ketel Marte , D-backs: 608,807 3. Bryson Stott , Phillies: 486,315 4. Ozzie Albies , Braves: 247,517 5. Gavin Lux , Dodgers: 183,441

In the closest positional race in either league, fewer than 4,300 votes separate Arraez and Marte. This would be Arraez’s third straight All-Star selection, each with a different team. The two-time batting champion, who started at second base for the NL a year ago as a member of the Marlins, could become the first second baseman in Padres history to win the fan vote. If he does it, he’d also snap a lengthy drought for the NL -- the league hasn’t had a repeat starter at second base since Chase Utley did it from 2006-09. Marte could become just the second player in D-backs history to win the fan vote multiple times, joining Paul Goldschmidt (2014-15).

1. Alec Bohm , Phillies: 1,012,174 2. Manny Machado , Padres: 267,063 3. Joey Ortiz , Brewers: 244,957 4. Max Muncy , Dodgers: 226,585 5. Ryan McMahon , Rockies: 187,838

Since Mike Schmidt played his final season in 1989, Placido Polanco (2011) and Scott Rolen (2002) are the only Phillies third basemen to win the All-Star fan vote. Bohm could join that group in 2024, with a lead of more than 745,000 votes over Machado in Phase 1 of the voting. That’s the largest gap between first and second place at any position in either league.

1. Mookie Betts , Dodgers: 1,023,690 2. Trea Turner , Phillies: 509,043 3. Elly De La Cruz , Reds: 324,559 4. Orlando Arcia , Braves: 147,103 5. Willy Adames , Brewers: 137,323

Like Harper, Betts is dominating the vote at his new position, taking a lead of more than 514,000 votes over Turner, who was activated from the injured list on Monday after missing more than six weeks with a left hamstring strain. However, with Betts set to miss considerable time after fracturing his left hand on a hit-by-pitch, Turner may be able to turn the tide and earn his second career All-Star start.

1. Jurickson Profar , Padres: 900,541 2. Christian Yelich , Brewers: 821,037 3. Fernando Tatis Jr. , Padres: 798,609 4. Teoscar Hernández , Dodgers: 761,934 5. Brandon Marsh , Phillies: 521,461 6. Nick Castellanos , Phillies: 439,764 7. Johan Rojas , Phillies: 363,047 8. Cody Bellinger , Cubs: 352,565 9. Heliot Ramos , Giants: 241,532

With Harper and Betts at new positions, reigning NL MVP Ronald Acuña Jr. out for the season after tearing his left ACL and reigning NL Rookie of the Year Corbin Carroll struggling, the competition is wide open for the starting spots in the NL outfield. Fans so far have come out in support of Profar, a former top prospect turned journeyman who is in the midst of a career year. The Padres haven’t had a starting outfielder in the All-Star Game since Tony Gwynn in 1998, but they could have two this year with Tatis also in the running to advance to Phase 2. Profar and Tatis are two of four NL outfielders who have received more than 750,000 votes, along with Yelich and Hernández.

1. William Contreras , Brewers: 746,461 2. J.T. Realmuto , Phillies: 558,624 3. Will Smith , Dodgers: 557,970 4. Willson Contreras , Cardinals: 149,315 5. Sean Murphy , Braves: 132,575

It’s been more than 40 years (Ted Simmons in 1983) since a Brewers catcher has won the fan vote to start the All-Star Game, but Contreras could potentially end that drought in 2024. The 26-year-old drew the start as the NL DH in 2022, replacing an injured Harper, but this would be his first All-Star starting nod behind the plate. Realmuto, who recently underwent surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee, and Smith are in a close race to advance to Phase 2 along with Contreras.

1. Shohei Ohtani , Dodgers: 1,002,377 2. Marcell Ozuna , Braves: 478,538 3. Kyle Schwarber , Phillies: 435,416 4. Rhys Hoskins , Brewers: 103,366 5. Donovan Solano , Padres: 101,195

New league, same result for Ohtani, who has captured 38% of the NL DH votes cast so far, tying him with Harper for the largest vote share at any position in MLB. Ozuna, meanwhile, is in the running for the NL Triple Crown, but he’ll have to hold off Schwarber to advance to Phase 2. Fewer than 44,000 votes separate the two NL East sluggers, both of whom are two-time All-Stars.

Dhani Harrison awakens new sounds and spirituality with help from Tuvan throat singers

• Show more sharing options
• Copy Link URL Copied!

Dhani Harrison can’t help that he sounds just like his dad. It’s not only his singing voice, or his aesthetic voice as a songwriter. When he enthuses about spiritual healing, oneness with nature and collaborating with master musicians from ancient, non-western cultures, he is the very echo of his old man.

But one immediately senses with Harrison, whose father was George Harrison, that he comes by his inheritance honestly. All those years making music with his dad, growing up around meditation practice and Indian classical music and a record label that promoted “world music” to this side of the world culminated in an apple that hasn’t fallen far from the tree — a tree whose eclectic roots grew deep and whose branches reached far from home.

Harrison’s latest project is “Dreamers in the Field,” a collaboration with the Tuvan throat singing ensemble Huun-Huur-Tu. The album was just released on Dark Horse Records, the label George Harrison created in 1974 and which Dhani revived in 2020. In a poetic echo, this year marks the 50th anniversary of the label, of the album “Shankar Family & Friends” and of the accompanying Dark Horse Tour that the elder Harrison took with Ravi Shankar and an Indian orchestra.

“My father obviously did a lot with world music,” says Dhani Harrison, 45, via Zoom from his home in England. The younger Harrison has released several albums as a solo artist and with various bands, but this was his first time on Dark Horse — and “it felt right that this world music went to its home there.”

Harrison has an omnivorous musical diet; only someone who has already listened to a lot of throat singing music would get served Huun-Huur-Tu by an algorithm. But that’s what happened shortly after Harrison finished a tour in 2019 when he stumbled on a performance by the group, who also perform using traditional Tuvan instruments. Instantly fascinated, he looked them up online and found several videos of live performances.

“I literally watched them every night,” he says, “and I got obsessed with it. The music was just so healing, and it felt like exactly what my body needed. It felt really beneficial to just listen to these masters singing, and then it started to inspire me to try and learn how to do their certain types of throat singing.”

He emailed Carmen Rizzo, a producer who has worked with everyone from Michael Jackson and Seal to Ryuichi Sakamoto, and who made several albums with Huun-Huur-Tu. Harrison put it out there that he would love to help on any of their future projects, and Rizzo said: “Well, actually, I’ve got nearly a whole record of stuff that I recorded with them for the last album but we never used. It’s just sitting on a hard drive.”

Rizzo flew over from Prague to play the recordings for Harrison — some were traditional songs he was already familiar with and others were new to him, including one (“Mazhalyk”) with a stately string arrangement. Harrison was inspired to add piano, synths, drums and guitar parts as well as backing vocals, and to create a few new songs. Rizzo took that material to Huun-Huur-Tu in Slovakia, where they recorded vocals on Harrison’s tracks in a hotel room after a concert.

The unmaking of a Beatle: George Harrison’s widow and son on the legacy of ‘All Things Must Pass’

It was all done remotely, and Harrison only ever communicated with the group by FaceTime — but then again “it’s a traveling record,” he says. “That’s the nature of their music: it’s caravan riders, and it’s the Ulatay River. It’s all traveling music. So it’s natural that it went so far before it got finished.”

The final record is like a soundtrack to an invisible movie — Harrison has, in fact, scored several films — with modern pulses and grooves ebbing and flowing with these Tuvan vocals that sound both intrinsically human and primal and at the same time from another world.

“This style of singing comes from a time before language,” says Harrison. “They’re re-creating the sound of a bird, or the sound of a horse, or the sound of a stream, or the sound of wind in the mountains. So it’s got the nature force vibes all the way through it.”

Harrison learned many new things about the human body — like the fact that we have sympathetic vocal chords, and about the hidden capacities of both the head and chest cavities, and how the constructive frequency “amplifies these whistle sounds and suddenly you can be singing three notes at the same time inside one body.”

When he plays this music for his friends, “they love it,” he says, “but then they feel immensely overwhelmed, and either cry, or laugh — it’s something that has to come out. It feels like it’s shaking you on the insides, and it’s going in all the corners and getting all of the dust that’s been building up and sweeping it toward the door.”

A lot of stuff has been building up for Harrison, who recently moved back to England after nearly 20 years in Los Angeles. He jokingly referred to it as a process of “rewilding” into the English countryside.

He was on his way to Japan in early 2020, shortly after his initial call with Rizzo, and was planning to spend 10 days in Australia when the COVID-19 pandemic shut the world down. Soon, 10 days turned into four months.

“It was paradise,” he says. “I got locked down in the nicest place. And it wasn’t, like, Melbourne — I was out in the countryside. So I was very lucky.”

That’s when he started writing a batch of original instrumental songs that became his newest solo album, “Innerstanding,” which came out quietly last October. He eventually made it back to England that summer, “and then it was just lockdown after lockdown after lockdown.”

Harrison channeled his frustrations at being “detained” into what he considers “a tough record. It’s a hard record, and it’s definitely standing its ground in terms of what it believes in.”

He did not elaborate, but the somewhat riddling lyrics — which he added last — suggest an aggravation toward governments that impose a “new religion,” splitting society into tribes and inflaming the conflict.

In keeping with Harrison’s breakout solo album (“In///Parallel” from 2017), this new record throbs with electronic beats and grungy electric guitar — much of which was performed by Graham Coxon of the band Blur — but with cinematic arrangements and influences of Indian musical grammar providing a kind of mantric spell under Harrison’s still-youthful tenor and lilting falsetto.

It’s an aggressive unity album, “written from the end of the before to the after times when the whole world changed,” he says, “and it’s been very different ever since.” But the message, he adds, is simply: “My light, my love in everything.”

A few weeks ago, Harrison turned up at the end of Eric Clapton’s set at the Royal Albert Hall — the first time he was on that stage since November 2002 to participate in “Concert for George,” the all-star memorial concert for his father, who had died a year earlier. He joined Clapton on the classic George Harrison song “Give Me Love,” and it was “really moving,” he says, “to be back up there.”

He’s already planning another world music soundscape album with Rizzo, this time with the Bulgarian Women’s Choir of Sophia. He wants to get out and perform “Innerstanding” on stage and is currently finishing the mix of a live concert film in Dolby Atmos. High-tech and ancient culture tend to mingle in the Dhani Harrison workshop — healing and aggression.

But, he says — sounding a lot like his father — “we have to aggressively love each other. We have to make a point of actively trying to unite.”

Justin Timberlake arrested: What you need to know about the pop star

Justin Timberlake was arrested early Tuesday and is accused of driving while intoxicated on New York’s Long Island

NEW YORK — Justin Timberlake was arrested early Tuesday and is accused of driving while intoxicated on New York’s Long Island. He was released and his next court date is scheduled for July 26, according to the Suffolk County district attorney’s office. Timberlake and his representatives have not commented.

Here’s what you need to know about the 43-year-old singer:

From boy band to R&B

Timberlake began his career at 12, starring in Disney’s "The All-New Mickey Mouse Club" alongside future girlfriend Britney Spears . In 1995, he became a leading presence in what turned into one of the best-selling boy bands of all time, NSYNC.

In 2000, their “No Strings Attached” album sold more than 1.1 million copies in its first day and more than 2.4 million in its first week. That set a world record for more than a decade.

In 2002, the band went on a hiatus that became permanent. Timberlake launched a blockbuster solo career with hits like “SexyBack,” “What Goes Around...Comes Around” and “Suit & Tie.”

His solo debut, the Grammy-award winning “Justified,” was followed by critically acclaimed R&B-pop records including 2006’s “FutureSex/LoveSounds.” It wasn’t until 2018’s folk detour, “Man of the Woods,” that Timberlake’s popularity began to falter.

In March, he released his first new album in six years, the nostalgic “Everything I Thought It Was,” a return to his familiar future funk sound .

On screen and on stage

Timberlake has starred in a number of films and is best known for his role of Sean Parker in the Oscar-award winning “The Social Network” and for starring with Mila Kunis in the 2011 rom-com, “Friends with Benefits.” Since 2016, he has had a leading role in the animated “Trolls” franchise as the voice of Branch.

He has won 10 Grammys. In 2017, he was nominated for an Oscar for his song “Can’t Stop The Feeling!” from “Trolls.” He has won four Emmys for his various contributions to “Saturday Night Live.”

In April, Timberlake kicked off his “The Forget Tomorrow” world tour, which runs through Dec. 20. He is scheduled to perform in Chicago on Friday before heading to New York City’s Madison Square Garden next week.

The personal and the public

Timberlake grew up in Tennessee, raised by his mother, Lynn Harless — who is credited with coining the NSYNC name — and his stepfather, Paul Harless, a Baptist church choir director.

In 2012, Timberlake married actress Jessica Biel. They have two sons together. In 2019, Timberlake publicly apologized to Biel after he was seen holding hands with actress Alisha Wainwright. He wrote on Instagram that “for my family I feel it is important to address recent rumors that are hurting the people I love.”

In 2004, Timberlake performed with Janet Jackson during the Super Bowl. Part of their choreography included a moment where Timberlake grabbed her chest. The move was supposed to reveal additional fabric but instead exposed her right breast in one of television’s most infamous wardrobe malfunctions . Jackson was barred a week later from the Grammy telecast, causing an outcry.

In 2021, Timberlake featured in the documentary “Framing Britney Spears,” a result of the “Free Britney” movement . Timberlake and Spears dated around the turn of the millennium. When they ended things, Timberlake portrayed himself as the victim. Spears became the subject of vitriolic press, suffering the consequences of his publicity. Spears’ 2023 memoir, “The Woman in Me,” devotes several chapters to their relationship, including deeply personal details.

Daily southtown | santana and counting crows reunite for tour, stopping in tinley park.

Santana and Counting Crows: Oneness Tour 2024 makes a June 29 stop outdoors at Credit Union 1 Amphitheatre in Tinley Park.

“As a kid I was obsessed with Santana the band. I was a huge fan as a kid,” said Duritz, who grew up in California.

“There were a few venues in Berkeley where they would sell all the seats but the first two or three rows were general admission. I literally snuck out of the house as a mid-teenager and camped out to see Santana as a kid. I thought they were the greatest band.”

Years later Counting Crows opened for Santana, which guitarist Carlos Santana formed in 1966.

“When we went on tour with them, they were just as good,” said Duritz about warming up crowds for concerts in Germany, Switzerland and Austria in 2002 during the European leg of Santana’s All Is One Tour.

“They were so improvisational and amazing. I watched every show. I was obsessed.”

Duritz, who cited “A Long December” from 1996’s “Recovering the Satellites” as his favorite Counting Crows song to perform live, said there was no hesitation when the chance came to tour again with Rock & Roll Hall of Fame band Santana.

“As a fellow musician, I found the musicianship in that band completely intoxicating. It blew my mind so I just assumed other people feel the same way I do,” said Duritz, who has lived in New York for 21 years.

Co-founded in 1991 by Duritz and guitarist David Bryson, Counting Crows debuted with the 1993 album “August and Everything After,” which includes “Mr. Jones,” “Round Here” and “Rain King.”

Seven studio albums later, Counting Crows — which also includes Jim Bogios (drums), Charlie Gillingham (keyboards), David Immerglück (guitar), Millard Powers (bass) and Dan Vickrey(guitar) — is touring in support of “Butter Miracle, Suite One.”

“It’s really cool because it’s a suite of music. It’s four songs that all run together like one long song. It was a very challenging composition for me to write it like one long piece of music,” said Duritz about the 2021 EP, which will be expanded into a full album that Duritz said could be released in early 2025.

Counting Crows’ concert set is a mystery but could include “Accidentally in Love” from 2004’s “Shrek 2” soundtrack, the Joni Mitchell cover “Big Yellow Taxi” from 2002’s “Hard Candy” and/or “Hanginaround” from 1999’s “This Desert Life.”

“We make the set list up every night after dinner,” said Duritz, whose mother, Linda Duritz, a geriatric psychiatrist, graduated from Chicago Medical School in North Chicago.

“We’ve been playing for 30-plus years in the band now. It would be really easy to get bored. I don’t want to play songs I don’t want to play. The audience is there to get your full commitment and passion every night. The best way I know to do that is to play songs you’re dying to play.

“I want to be onstage completely involved every night.”
