Last weekend, Keller Williams played a double dose of his unique one-man-band music to us lucky Colorado residents, with a solo show at the Fox Theatre in Boulder on Friday, followed by a night with the Yonder Mountain String Band at Red Rocks Amphitheater in Morrison on Saturday. Better yet, the Friday night show was… Continue reading Keller Williams, Magical Music Man
On Tuesday July 22nd, SoCal based band Pepper released their new album, Pink Crustaceans and Good Vibrations. Originally from Hawaii, the band brought their island rhythms and sounds with them to the mainland a few years back after they were noticed by a Los Angeles based indie record label. Picking up where Sublime left off,… Continue reading Pepper | Pink Crustaceans and Good Vibrations | Review
A little while back, I posted a simple note underneath a photo I had posted on my Flickr page, a photo of the two-man electro-fusion band BoomBox, stating that I predicted people would be hearing more about this band in the future. Little did I know at the time that not only would my prophecy… Continue reading BoomBox Rox the Fox
This is hands down one of the cleanest, best sounding soundboards I’ve ever heard of a Jerry Garcia Band show. As you may know, Jerry never authorized recording of any incarnation of the Jerry Garcia Band, so most recordings in circulation are stealth audience recordings. Soundboard patches were few and far between, so everyone in… Continue reading Joby's Retro Reviews (JGB 8-29-1987)
Second in radio station Kool 105’s summer concert series, Tuesday night’s HippieFest at Fiddler’s Green drew less of a crowd than the preceding Chicago/The Doobie Brothers show, but boasted a more lively audience with a far greater mix among age groups. Though older adults and some true old hippies made up the majority of the… Continue reading Colorado HippieFest Leaves Audience Dazed and Confused
Okay let’s face it, Widespread Panic doesn’t have the largest following in the city of Philadelphia. On the other hand, sometimes it’s better to see a great band in a place where the crowd is small. Such was the case on this July night at Festival Pier. This was the last show before their performance… Continue reading Widespread Panic in the City of Dreams
I like the word timeless, but what does it really mean? Last night, driving up to The Saint in Asbury Park, NJ for the Super 400 and Speakeasy co-bill, I had some examples of timelessness present themselves. Pearl Jam, driving with the windows down and the sunroof open, The Black Crowes, a quarter pounder with… Continue reading Super 400: “For The Rock and Rollers”
“The time has come for you to be alive again!” shouts singer/songwriter/guitarist Trey Anastasio during a ripping rendition of “Alive Again” from his latest live release, Original Boardwalk Style (Rubber Jungle Records). The time has definitely come for Trey to be alive again, since he has just completed his one year court-ordered drug treatment program, and… Continue reading Trey Anastasio | Original Boardwalk Style | Review
With more than just crowd pleasers at Seattle’s WaMu Theater, Gov’t Mule and Ratdog co-headlined a fine show! Arguably an unlikely tour duo, Bob Weir and Warren Haynes delighted Seattle with this second stop on their Summer tour. Here are just a couple highlights I took home from the industrial, cavernous, nouveau concert hall: Gov’t… Continue reading RatDog/Gov't Mule | June 21st, 2008 | Seattle, WA
“Excuse me sir, can I help you find something?” “No, I don’t think so.” “Well which seats are you supposed to be in?” “Seats? What do you mean?” “This is the reserved seating section, you have to have a special ticket to sit down here.” “Oh, no problem. I’m not going to sit, I’m here… Continue reading Charlie Hunter and Nels Cline play the Boulder Theater
