The B52s still have tremendous energy to burn.
Planning to see Dylan and Leon Russell on the 17th. First time live for me for both.
Fun past weekend in yinzerland- caught JJ Grey and Mofro, Greg Allman, Brother's Past in Johnstown Saturday (Flood City Music Fest), then Grace Potter & the Nocturnals free show in the 'bugh Sunday.
The Dillinger Escape Plan at Bad Bonn (tiny farmhouse converted to club in the middle of nowhere, Switzerland). My first hardcore show. Superfun!

Steel Pulse and The Wailers on Saturday 8/13 - short and sweet. Reggae masters. Pulse was on fire 40 years of skanking and not a beat or a note missed. Turn on dime with the illest baselines - Epic. See Steel Pulse whenever they are in town!:party:
B.B. King on Sunday 8/14. Old but good. Still belting them out and he'll be 86 next month. His band was tight. Super funny and warm - B.B. King. Walter Trout was the opener -Texas/Chicago/SoCal Surf Supercharged Strat Stevie style blistering rock blues. Real good show - maybe one of B.B.'s last :jam::(.
caught Levon Helm at Suicide Six Ski Area in Woodstock VT Friday night. He was very frail, leaving the stage on a few occasions and then returning. There were some highlights, Theresa Williams was in fine voice and Larry Campbell was great as always. We missed Bow Thayers set, which was a bummer as we all were looking forward to it, but the lineup changed and he opened rather than play the middle set.
We rented a short bus from a limo company (like an airport shuttle) that a friend recently opened to shuttle parties safely to and from. Cool lights, and a killer sound system. the ride home was one of the stranger experiences I've had in a while.
I saw My Morning Jacket at verizon wireless in Alpharetta about a week ago. They are SICK live. The setlist was great and they played several songs I really wanted to hear, mainly from the album Z.
1. Victory Dance
2. Circuital
3. You Wanna Freak Out
4. Off The Record
5. I’m Amazed
6. Gideon
7. Golden
8. Outta My System
9. Smokin From Shootin
10. (end of) Run Thru
11. Touch Me I’m Going To Scream Pt.2
12. Dondante
13. Slow Slow Tune
14. Holdin On To Black Metal
15. Mahgeetah
----------
16. Wordless Chorus
17. The Day Is Coming
18. Cobra
19. Stop Draggin My Heart Around (Tom Petty & Stevie Nicks) *
20. Dancefloors
21. One Big Holiday

I don't do a bunch of concerts, but I will say that if you ever have the chance you will enjoy going to a Possessed by Paul James concert. He puts on an amazing one man band show that will blow any other lone performer out of the water.
You have obviously never seen Xavier Rudd solo...Quote:

I still think Possessed is amazing because he actually considers himself possessed, and is consumed by that character. The performances are borderline performance art, having battles with his demons, or conversations on stage with his other band members, that aren't there. Its more than just talent with instruments, it's character development. In some way he uses his music to become more than just a one man band, and that narrative is way more interesting than any rad fiddle solo, banjo thrashing, or foot stomping can develop on its own. On top of all that he puts incredibly poignant lyrics (and interludes), with rowdy music, and showmanship that could fit in with any good vaudeville. Finish that off with a down to earth dude who will shoot the shit with you after the show and you've got something more than the sum of its parts.
a friend tells a story of an Etheridge show in Amherst where a woman in the mens bathroom line got bent out of shape because guys were telling her to use the womens room. She pushed her way out of line, walked up to urinal, dropped trow, turned around and pissed while flipping them all off.Quote:

loop jams rule!

^ walked out of the last Keller show we attended. We went to watch Reid open. Keller has so much cool stuff but this show was dull, slow to develop and seemed self indulgent. Still, Kidney in a Cooler is a fun tune, love skiing to it. ahhhhh. skiing.
Free Blue Oyster Cult show this Sunday night at the Rib Cook Off in Reno! [/GeezerRockStoke]

I've seen Keller solo more than a few times over the years, the loop gimmick gets old quick. He is super talented, no doubt- I still like seeing him play bluegrass w/ Larry and Jenny Keel.
i am taking my daughter to see the australian pink floyd show for her 16th birthday.. her choice, but i know i will enjoy it as much as she will.....http://www.aussiefloyd.com/tour......
FKNA that would be awesome! Ribs and BOC??????Quote:

Diamanda Galas coming here in couple of weeks...
Oh man...
Devotchka and Elephant Revival up at the Bridge tomorrow. Interesting, but great, combination.
Saw Gillian Welch on wednesday. It was great, nice to hear that voice live. Relaxed vibe, good set list, great performers, can't ask for much more.
do work and i saw the warren haynes band thursday. such a great band. loved the "what is hip" as well as many many others. fun show. too much tequila.
Saw UFO last night. Grew up on the music, but haven't really listened to them in years. I had forgotten how many great songs they had. Phil was amazing. Vinnie Moore shredded. All around great show. Highly recomended.
Any mags going to Hardly Strictly Bluegrass this year?
We have Taj Mahal and the Hula blues band coming up, the I got 4th row for Chris Isaac and Dec 1 Steve miller band with Dave Mason...
My girl scored a couple $10 tix off Craigslist so we checked it out last night in Reno. I've seen Schenker a good half dozen times over the years but last night was the best Rock Bottom I've ever seen, I've got a couple old Vinnie Moore CDs so heard him play, but damn, that was spectacular!Quote:

judging by our dancing and their sitting, We had more fun than anyone else there. (excellent fish tacos at Trumbull Grill, and blue cheese olive grey goose martinis to wash em down. sorry no pics of tacos)
Pretty excited for Merle Haggard and Kris Kristofferson tonight. Should be classic.
i think their live album is one of the best live albums evah made.Quote:

I agree. Saw MSG a couple of years ago at the same venue I saw UFO. While it was good and it was fun to see him play (and to see Barden sing), I thought UFO w/Vinnie was a much better show overall. Micheal's such a statue up there.Quote:

Went with Iceman and our (respective) wives to see Robert Randolph and the Family Band two weekends ago, meeting up with Sirshredhead and his wife at the venue. It did not suck in any way.
When it was time for a set break RR said "I'm feelin' something" and started noodling around instead. This turned into a 20 minute pure jam session for the whole group. He and his cousins (the bassist and the drummer) tried to throw off the keyboard player several times - just fuckin' with him to see if he could hang. It was funny, yet amazing.
Going to the NYE Possessed by Paul James gig in Denver. It's going to be a fucking riot. Be there.
