i just checked the local summer show here (in Lowell) and kids under 8 get in free. i might end up taking my 7 and 9 year old boys.

playing the entirely sublime 'east virginia blues' version that Jay played on w/ Roger McGuinn...couldn't find a youtube version.
it's such a cliche to say that people die too young, but i can't possibly see how this wouldn't apply...i hope his friends and family find solace in the impact his music made on so many people he never met.

i went to this last night...awesome time! i'll put the link up to my shots/mini-review when it's live.

So did I. It was Neil solo acoustic and somehow I'd gotten 8th row center seats. The drunk woman behind me would not stop through the whole show. I'm surprised Neil didn't tell her to shut the hell up, since she was that close. Jeff would've, knowing him.
I think it's appropriate for encores (as things are reaching their conclusion, in other words) and when the band requests it. Otherwise, we didn't pay to hear karaoke.
good choice in avatars, Carl

There's no accounting for taste, but I just can't believe any argument can be made that the popular music today is as good as the popular music of, shit, even the '80s, much less the '60s and '70s.
who included the 'popular' qualifier? not me.

this thread is turning pointless because there is no way to objectively quantify 'music quality.'

I know Ghost played in Athens, GA last Wednesday.
i just found some tourdates on brooklynvegan and they played NYC two weeks ago, but didn't make it up to boston. shakes fist angrily.

Another example is Joe Satriani.
obviously Coldplay likes his songwriting talent.

i shot the Pogues when they played in March, but the lighting was rather dim and it was hard to see what sort of condition Shane's mouth was in.
he did have his own bottle, though.

Cool beans. I just saw Ghost a couple weeks ago and they completely blew me away. It boggles my mind they've been around since '84...
where did they play? i've only seen Ghost once (Terrastock V) and they were great.
i did see Batoh w/ Helena from Espers last year, and that was really fun.

And, based on the rarity of talent, there's more noise without a greatly proportional increase in quality noise.
that's what i was trying to say.
you've got it all wrong.
there is more talent out there than ever before.
-
i take it you have his solo album? good stuff.
i've got a lot of the stuff he's been involved with...White Heaven, Stars, Onna, and Ghost. even the stuff w/ damon and naomi.

The only band worthy of having a full sized gong on stage.

It also goes without saying that Michio Kurihara is a living legend. I love the E-bow.....its unreal the way he can make a guitar sing.
Kurihara is among my favorite guitarists. amazing tone.
-
i am certain you will dig the show. he's got a great band, esp jim white on drums and that emmett guy on guitar.
-
Most of the stuff I listen to isnt really that underground, at least by underground standard. Take a band like Boris...the quality and scope of these guys' output boggles my mind. And yet they still play a venue like the Empty Bottle when they roll through town. Im not complaining by any stretch, but it gets to my point that there are some incredibly relevant, boundary-pushing/blurring groups out there today which get next to no recognition outside of some fairly niche communities.
boris rocks.

"The result is an extraordinary amount of mediocrity,"
this says it all. 99% of music is complete junk. and the fact that anyone can make a cd these days makes for even more junk! seriously, is there anything out there worth listening too besides wilco, son volt, white stripes, black keys, kings of leon?

And if the singer wants you to sing along...

forced audience participation is another circle of hell. ray davies fucking ruined his own show because of that grandstanding bullshit.
-
at acoustic shows it's the worst thing imaginable. well, if the crowd decides to add handclap percussion, it actually gets worse.
i had a Neil Young show ruined by this shit.

what.cd is where you wanna go
i don't have an account at what.cd, but what i've heard of waffles seems like it's not too far off from what oink was like.

That's too bad you didn't get to take any pictures. I saw someone with a huge camera snapping some pictures right in front of Will near the end of the set.
yeah, there was a guy behind me who had an SLR too; i heard the shutter a couple of times. it's not worth it for me to run afoul of Live Nation, though. still, it would have been fun to shoot; Will had some, er, interesting faces/gestures going on.
great show though, i really enjoyed it.

i just got confirmed to shoot the Sunday show...haven't seen Phish since '89 @ the Paradise. never a big fan; the only reason i've been to either show is because of friends. still, should be fun to shoot @ fenway.
