As the crowd settled down, the noise rose up. Cycles and phasers and feedback filled the room, creating a sound Waters, Gilmour, Yorke and Greenwood would enjoy. As the sound grew, the band appeared fearless, willing to bend and twist sound and rhythms right off the bat. Tension grew and the crowd needed a release. [...]

There are some Dead shows that seem like they’d sound best around a campfire. Tonight in East Rutherford, the boys went another route. It was Space Out night at the Izod Center, with The Dead offering up some of their more distant tunes. That’s not to say we weren’t drawn right into the middle of [...]

The first weekend of JazzFest is now over, and honestly, I’m kind of sad about it. I can’t even tell you how much fun I’ve had here in New Orleans. I head home tomorrow afternoon, but I’ll bring with me some very solid memories and a jones for quite a few new artists. So, let’s [...]

Ed. Note: I updated this post last night (in addition to the pictures) to fill in some of the details regarding Wilco’s mysterious Cow Bell Man. (Those details are now corrected.) Details, of course, are below… Exhausting day at Jazzfest here in New Orleans. So much good music, often playing in two or three places [...]

Fun day in New Orleans. I didn’t see every great band that played today, but I definitely saw whole bunch of bands worth mentioning. First up was Marc Broussard. He’s got that great, soulful white-guy voice that was super popular in the 80′s. My buddy suggested he should go on tour with Marc Cohn and [...]
The Dead Rise at Roseland
Posted in Show Review, Uncategorized, tagged Bill Kreutzmann, Bob Weir, Grateful Dead, Jeff Chimenti, Mickey Hart, Phil Lesh, Roseland Ballroom, The Dead, Warren Haynes on March 31, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
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” [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
