Reggae legends Black Uhuru dropped some serious roots reggae beats at the Sweetwater Music Hall in Mill Valley, CA, on Friday night.

First, a bit of personal history: I got turned on to Black Uhuru by my college roomie, Robert, at U.C. Santa Cruz in the early Eighties. He had copies of the band’s seminal albums Sinsemilla and Red, and we smoked a lot of pot while grooving to tracks like “Puff She Puff” and “World is Africa.”

In the 90s, San Diego's Mission Bay was the epicenter of summer music, hosting legendary events like The Mission Bay Summer Concert Series, Vans Warped Tour, X-Games, MTV's "Rock the Vote," and the OMBAC Coming Out Party.

Goose descended on Saratoga Springs, NY, for a two-night stand at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center, which is surrounded by lush greenery and a sprawling state park that includes hot springs. The band was sufficiently warmed up after playing in Holmdel, NJ, and Boston, MA, earlier in the week. The Connecticut-based indie groove quintet certainly crushed night one with several rarely played covers and an original, all within their home stomping grounds.

On this September 9th, 2024, we at Grateful Web pause to remember the legacy of Otis Redding, a soul whose voice carried the weight of a thousand dreams, whose music struck at the very heart of human experience. Born in Dawson, Georgia, in 1941, Redding carved out a path that led him from the deep South to the world’s stage, leaving behind a body of work that is nothing short of transcendent. His sound—a mixture of raw emotion, sweat-soaked rhythms, and a voice so powerful it seemed to tremble the earth—became a force that no one could ignore.

Today, Columbia Records and Legacy Recordings, the catalog division of Sony Music Entertainment, have shared “Just Like Tom Thumb’s Blues” (Live at Madison Square Garden, New York City, NY - January 30, 1974) from Bob Dylan and The Band.

A reminder that this is the final advance track from The 1974 Live Recordings - a collection featuring every professionally recorded show from Bob Dylan’s 1974 arena tour with The Band (at the time, his first tour in eight years) - which is out soon on September 20.

Psychedelic funk pioneers Lettuce have teamed up with nugs.net to launch Lettuce Live, a brand-new subscription-based platform that will house exclusive on-demand audio and video concert footage, showcasing the band where they shine the most—the live performance setting in front of their fans. Over the course of their three-decade career, the band has built a reputation for constant evolution, electrifying improvisation, and fostering tight-knit musical brotherhoods and fan communities.

Throughout the latter half of the seventies, Joni Mitchell continued to creatively break ground with her fearless and fluid exploration of jazz. Rather than tread the same path, she challenged and reinvented her style with a folk fusion like no other.
