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 [...]

Doing anything the weekend of June 11, 12 and 13? If not, you might want to gas up the car, grab a tent and a sleeping bag and head on down to Manchester, Tennessee. Bonnaroo announced its lineup and, well, it’s one of the most impressive I’ve ever seen. Here are the highlights: Bruce Springsteen [...]
Last Night… Or What I Remember of It

I saw a good number of bands this weekend, two on purpose and about five others collaterally. Not all of them were good, but some of them impressed. First off, as I wrote earlier in the week, The Divorced came down from Boston Saturday to play the Annex. Definitely a good show and it was [...]
