I’ve spent my entire life staring in awe at guitarists. I’ve seen Clapton, Trucks, Haynes and Betts, Garcia, Springsteen, Malkmus, King and Guy. I’ve stood and danced and studied as my favorites picked and bent and pulled their way to new dimensions of song and sound, all on the surface of these six-strings. Well, watching [...]

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 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” [...]
Monday – The Day of the Dead!
Posted in Personal Notes, Upcoming Shows, tagged Angel Orensanz, Battery Park, Bill Kreutzmann, Bob Weir, David Letterman, Gramercy Theatre, Grateful Dead, Izod Center, Jeff Chimenti, Madison Square Garden, Meadowlands, Mickey Hart, Nassau Coliseum, Phil Lesh, Roseland Ballroom, The Dead, The View, Warren Haynes on March 28, 2009 | 2 Comments »
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 [...]
