Saw Elvis Costello and The Imposters at The Capital Theater NY last night. What an amazing show. Guest guitarist far right in photo is Charlie Sexton. They are playing in Providence , RI on Thursday night 10/28 and they are heading west from here on their tour. Highly recommend catching them if you can, very electric/plugged in and rocking.

That would be a good one. Too late now to try to go tomorrow night.

Isnt Phil Collin's in pretty bad shape health wise?

He's definitely not in drumming shape. He did some solo shows and his son Nick was drumming with him. I don't know if Nick is on the Genesis tour or if Chester Thompson is available.

However, I love when you pay to see the opener and are lukewarm about seeing the headliner.

For example, my wife and I love Phosphorescent and we've never seen him live. He opened for Father John Misty at the Capitol. After catching the opening act, we stuck around for about 45 minutes of the FJM show, weren't inspired to stay up late on a work night and drive home happy to catch one of our favorite bands.

Has anyone seen a show where they paid to see the headliner but liked the opener better? In college, I saw Peter, Bjorn and John at the Paradise, hated their set, but loved the opener, Fujiya & Miyagi, a band I had no idea about entering the show, but their set blew my mind.

years back at the mohegan, i brought a pal who had a band, to see headliner skynard cuz he never heard of them, and im a fan.
george thorogood was the opener, who i also like very much.
when it was over, he said 'i liked the opener a lot, but notsomuch the headliner.'
on that day, it was true. sometimes, people have a bad day at work.
and in honor for the upcoming season...
move over little dog, the big ol dog is movin in...

Next month my wife and I are attending our first concerts since 2019. We have Big Head Todd and the Monsters at Infinity Hall on 11/11 and the Zep tribute band Get The Led out on 11/13 at the Garde Arts Center in New London. If you're a fan of Zep's music these guys are a must see. No wigs or dragon suits, just a solid reproduction of Zep's studio music. They're also at the Oakdale on 11/12

I've been a big fan of BHT since the '90s and I've never seen them. I've seen that they have recently released a bunch of cover tunes on Spotify. Cheap Sunglasses, Brandy, Life of Illusion to name a few, but Rosalita featuring John Popper on the harp is fantastic.

It was an earnest and solid attempt by Todd, but nah to the mouth organ subbing for sax. YMMV.

Saw Big Head Todd and the Monsters at the KC Blues and Jazz fest concert back in the late 90s. They were really good. I was a bit surprised that they didn't sustain more success.

Surprises me too. I think their music is great and Todd Park Mohr is a very good guitarist. I love his dedication to the blues too. He put out tribute albums of both Robert Johnson's and Willie Dixon's music.
 
I read there is a group of studio legends touring under the name of The Immediate Family. Sounded interesting and would check it out if they came to the area. Turns out they are playing some place called TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik in S. Windsor. I never heard of it and I live in S. Windsor. Anyone know the deal there? The website is basically a bunch of microphones.

This is the venue. Guessing it will be very intimate. There's a "clinic" before the show.

That's what my friend said. I said, lemme think, five minute drive on a Sunday or a 90-minute hike featuring I-95 at rush hour. I'm going, I was just asking if anyone had been there before. I wonder if they will record the concert for YouTube or something.

Todd Park Mohr is an amazing guitarist and vocalist, I'll never understand how Big Head Todd isn't more popular.
 
After a weird and sobering week, I was so fortunate to spend Thursday night under the relaxing and slightly absurd world of Leo Kottke and Mike Gordon at the Wall Street Theater in Norwalk, CT.

I've seen Leo Kottke solo three times and seen a handful of Phish shows, but this was the first time I've watched this duo perform together even though I've listened to their work for twenty years.

Circle back to the early 2000s, I was in high school, in a jam band during Phish's first big hiatus. During that time, its members released a bunch of side projects with the Kottke/Gordon duo being my favorite. Compounded with the fact that the father of the guitarist of my band was a big Kottke fan and owned a few of his vinyls, that legacy interested me into learned more about Kottke's large discography throughout high school and college.

When this show was first announced in the fall, I immediately nabbed a front row balcony seat and I am so glad I did. The show was 100% acoustic with most of the songs w/ Mike on bass and Leo on guitar/vocals, but there were a few Leo solo ballads and Mike sang two songs solo on guitar too.

Leo's voice ages so well. He's 76, but his deep, garbling baritone fits the music greatly. He's a renown finger-picker, so seeing him a half-step slower is an adjustment, but their sludgier songs sounded awesome. I was also impressed with Mike's improved singing ability, who is arguably now the most gifted vocalist in Phish (though the standards are low).

If anyone has ever seen Kottke live, his epic digressions are part of the set, so much so that it makes Gordon seem like the "normal" one, but it's all in good fun.

My buddy's father passed two years ago from brain cancer, so I was thinking about him a lot during this show. Overall, very grateful I attended this concert and I can't remember how long it's been since I felt so nourished after a show.

Glad to hear Leo is still delivering the goods. An act I'd always meant to see but never got around to it. Used to play his mid/late 70s stuff till I wore out the vinyl.

I’ve got a few shows lined up for the next months:

May - Bill Frisell Trio at the Park City Music Hall, Bridgeport, CT (my first show at the remodeled former Acoustic Cafe)

June - Robert Plant/Allison Krauss at Forest Hills, NY

Sigur Ros at the Beacon (two days before flying to Iceland, so perfect time to see them for the first time!)

July - Beach House at College Street Music Hall, New Haven (it’ll be my fourth time seeing Beach House, first time at CSMH)

Tried getting Wilco tickets for April, but they were way more expensive than I expected (~$100 for cheap seats). A few local festivals will be visited too (I love Caramoor in Katonah, NY).

What do you all have lined up?
 
A co-worker just hit me up for a free ticket to see this show on Thursday…can’t wait!

It Was 50 Years Ago Today

It Was 50 Years Ago Today pays tribute to the Beatles most revered albums Rubber Soul and Revolver at the Ridgefield Playhouse!

I saw Kool and the Gang last weekend in AC. Our group was about 20 years younger than the average ticket holder but it was great to see live music again.

Looking at possibility Motley Crew/Def Leppard/Poison at Citizens Bank Park in June which would give me enough time to grow my hair out…

Looks like I might get to use my Santana tickets at the Sun this summer. Los Lobos next week. I'm hoping Kraftwerk at MASS MoCA is as cool as it sounds.
 
I was debating buying tickets to see Paul McCartney at Fenway June 8th. The venue blows for concerts and tickets aren't cheap. I'm also debating going to see Ringo at Tanglewood two weeks later. I have to wonder whether Paul will show.

So far for this year:
Train with Jewel and Blues Traveler June 8th Xfinity Mansfield (guess I won't see Sir Paul). Always liked Blues Traveler, never saw them live.
Rod Stewart and Cheap Trick - Aug 12th. Xfinity Mansfield rescheduled tickets from cancelled show last year.
Elton John July 28th Gillette stadium- rescheduled from last year as well.
Elvis Costello August 13th - Leader Bank Pavilion (my favorite venue). Somehow never saw him live.

I've only seen McCartney twice: 1990 at Berkley Memorial Stadium and 2017 at MSG. Although the shows were 27 years apart, I remember enough to say that the arena show is definitely preferable to the stadium show as a venue.

The daughter I took to the 2017 show has said that seeing him play "Hey Jude" is the happiest moment of her life. The fact that I am getting misty just typing that tells you all you need to know about whether I think it is worth the steep price. And the show was amazing.

And I would say no way he shows up at the Ringo show.
 
Can't get much more varied than this.

Due to a crazy amounts of cancellations and last minute plans I found myself accompanying Mrs. Diesel to ABBA mania last Friday night. Freebies from a neighbor who couldn't attend. Stayed for the first set and then walked outside to catch end of a Mardi Gras parade.

This Friday is Bad Fish, a Sublime tribute band.

Other than Mrs. Diesel and me I don't expect to see any of the ABBA Mania attendees at Bad Fish.

And I've never seen him. So it's certainly bittersweet to miss it. Not sure why he's doing it at Fenway other than a nostalgic venue for a nostalgic performer. It's the worst venue imaginable.
 
The show at Ridgefield Playhouse last night was very good!

A band of Todd Rundgren, Jason Scheff (singer and bass player from Chicago), Christopher Cross, Denny Laine (from Wings and Moody Blues) and members of Badfinger played two sets of songs from Revolver and Rubber Soul.

Intertwined in the sets were a handful of songs from each artist: my personal favorite was seeing Todd Rundgren. What a character: his image, stage presence and songs remind me so much of Ariel Pink.
