The Dead rocked the Roseland Ballroom last night (3/30/09) in New York. Set 3 of their three-venue Taxi Tour of the city came with high expectations. It delivered. The boys sounded strong and came out firing with an setlist geared towards their most deadicated fans. “Althea” > “Cassidy” “Uncle John’s Band” “Eyes of the World” [...]

Update: I’ve learned a few things here and there about today’s shows. First off, it turns out that the Dead did originally apply for a permit to play Battery Park, but the city turned them down. That’s how that initial rumor got out there. Also, there was some confusion about them being on Letterman. I’d [...]
The Dead – Monday – Battery Park?

Update: Ok, so Battery Park was incorrect. The Dead are playing three shows on Monday. The first is an acoustic set at 5pm at Angel Orensanz. Next comes an 8pm electric full band set at the Gramercy Theatre. Finally, they’ll play an 11pm show over at the Roseland. If you haven’t put in a request [...]

Update: So the Beacon Run is over. I’m sad. I’ll miss the excitement of the shows, night after night. I only went to two of them, but just following along on the the Allmans’ forum message board was thrilling in its own right. The Brothers definitely brought it over this three week stretch. They made [...]

I’ve got that tune, stuck in my head, driving my crazy. I lie awake in my bed. The telephone rings. I ain’t answered in days. No one can reach me, when the melody plays. It’s funny how it doesn’t take the best lyrics, the best guitars, the best singing or the best anything else to [...]

Well, it’s not every weekend that you get to two bands as dissimilar as the Allman Brothers and the Ting Tings, nearly back to back. But that was the case as I took in the Allmans’ Beacon blowout on Saturday, followed by the Ting Tings’ Terminal 5 triumph on Monday. Both shows were excellent, even [...]

OK, so I’ve been sitting on writing this damn post for more than a week now. Here’s the problem, I didn’t know what to say. I listened and listened and listened to U2′s latest disc waiting for it to hit me… and it never happened! I wanted my karaoke song. I wanted my anthem. I [...]

Hell of a night at Carnegie Hall as 20 acts came out to honor R.E.M. with renditions of the Athens, GA trio/quartet’s finest songs. The eclectic group of contemporaries and disciples did justice to the songs and honor the band, but that’s not to say the show was without its head scratching moments. Before I [...]
