What Show Did You Just See?

[beardedwonder]

Just got home from Pearl Jam at Fenway night 1. The last time I saw PJ was in 2008 and I've likely seen them around 8-9 times. Tonight, all I could think was "holy crap, Jim and the boys absolutely blow this band outta the water!!" 

Don't get me wrong PJ puts on a very good rock n roll show and you get your $ worth. But tonight really helped to put live MMJ into perspective for me.

Apples and oranges is the way I look at it. Both great.

That Masters of War with the full band though. I had only seen it Eddie solo before.

To be fair, tonight's show proved to be a much better experience. At 51 Eddie still has it. My wife was very pleased and I rocked out. Dug the J Mascis cameo.

Saw The National at the Greek in LA a week ago.  Great show.  Annie Clark & Adam from The War On Drugs came out for a couple of songs.

Two great nights of live music.

On Thursday, Aug. 11, took my two oldest daughters (Maddie 12 and Katherine 14) to Codfish Hollow Barnstormers in Maquoketa, Iowa to see Lucius.  Its a really cool venue.

Get a taste of CHB here:

The girls made me proud, holding the rail and having a great time.  Torrential thunderstorms and the mud pit parking lot afterward did not dampen our mood.  A great show!








On Friday, I recovered from the hot, humid muddy blast from the night before with a nice theater show downtown, by myself, to see Hot Tuna Acoustic at the Englert Theatre in Iowa City.  A finer display of musical talent I cannot recall...

My boss has been to Jorma's guitar camp twice. he loved it, as you can imagine...

he's also a really cool boss.

Margo Price - 10.14.16 Great American Music Hall, San Francisco CA

Great show last night, first time catching her live. Great band, solid playing, some interesting covers
(The Meters, Merle Haggard, Janis Joplin). Just a fun night of music at a classic venue. Highly recommend checking her out if she's coming by your town.

Local Natives last night in DC.  My third time seeing them.  It was great.  You can really tell how hard they're trying and singing to deliver a great show.  They sincerely appreciated the fans and their current ability to play bigger shows compared to when they first started out.  They are also really proud to donate $1 of every ticket sold to a good cause.

CRB Killed it again last night!! So fun! Encore was awesome!

Just saw Cass Mccombs and Delicate Steve in Brooklyn the other day. Great show. I knew Delicate Steve would be great (check them out if you haven't yet) but Cass really impressed me. Only other time I saw them was opening for MMJ at the Beacon and that wasn't great.

Band of Horses last night at The Louisville Palace!
great show! I had only seen them open for MMJ once and once at Forecastle so this was the first full show of theirs I saw. Great band, beautiful voice live just like on record, and a very good mix of old and new songs!

Awesome!!  I was lucky enough to catch BOH's warmup show prior to One Big Holiday 2015.  Flew down on the same flight as them.  They were great acoustic at sunset!!

James McMurtry & Anders Osborne - Great American Music Hall, San Francisco CA

Great combo last night. Both solo acoustic. Anders songwriting takes a bit of a hit when stripped down but James McMurtry can turn one hell of a phrase and sounds great with just a guitar. His music ain't breaking any new ground but he writes some killer lyrics.

[LBSUNFLWR]

yeah he does. We saw McMurtry solo acoustic earlier this year in a really small theater. He's great.
I read Anders has upcoming shows with Jackie Greene and 1 show with Rich Robinson. I love these collaborations, and wish I could catch one of these shows.

Saw Carl last night in Nashville as part of the Misty Marathon Hop. Lots of musicians from lots of great bands getting together to pay tribute to Led Zeppelin. Such a cool idea and experience. Would love to have seen more of Carl but he was part of the highlight of the night for me which was Ten Years Gone.

Cool!  That sounds unreal with Carl on Ten Years Gone.....my favorite Zep song off of my favorite album of theirs.  Please post a video if you come across one or have one.
