Compared to the past few weeks, this one's a bit quieter in the live music world, but there are still some decent shows to check out. Of note, Beck brings his two turntables and a mic to the Ricoh Coliseum tonight (too bad about the location), you can get Comfortably Numb (in a few ways, we're sure) at the Opera House or check out the moustachiod Killers at the Kool Haus on Friday, and then take in some Matisyahu at The Docks on Sunday.

If that doesn't float your boat, stay home and save your allowance for the lovable Tenacious D in November. Seriously, you better start doing some extra vacuuming for mom, because the D will cost you 50 bones. On the other hand, Veruca Salt is much more affordable, and will be visiting our fair city mid-November.

You know the schtick...if we've missed a really good show, let us know about it in the comments.
