    A Few thoughts on Last Night

     

    It was their First Return to Boston since their now growing Legendary Orpheum Shows

    I liked the way they seem to know they set the bar real high by their comment already quoted ...

     

    However Strong the Love for this band by the audience(myself included)it seems to run both ways.

    After Handshake the Place was on Fire Jeff acknowledged by simply saying Awww Boston.

    Wang Advanced Ticket P/U Today!! after 12:15 see paste

    I would do this at 12:15, but I think strolling in at 7 is much better due to 3 different people's schedules. Plus, getting one person to come over from work in Kendall Square (then leaving us) and then hanging out till 8 is not my idea of fun, especially in the rain. I love Boston, but I'd rather rest up my energy and take my chances later on.

     

    Any parking or T tips? I know where I'm parking, but if it 's full I guess I'll have to improvise. I'm avoiding the T due to the Red Sox game at 7 which should be out around the time Wilco finishes.

    Re Parking ; Discount look at Lagrange st.

    Bono: My wife and I were traveling around Ireland after we graduated from college and both being U2 fans we thought we'd cruise by their studio when we went through Dublin and, as it turns out, they were there in the adjacent warehouse/building rehearsing for the Elevation Tour. We just happened to be there in the final stages of rehearsal before the tour and heard essentially their entire tour set (as it was in the building next to the studio it wasn't sound-proofed). A few minutes after the set was over the garage door rolls up and Bono drives out of the studio garage, pulls his car to the side of the road (we were listening from the sidewalk opposite the studio) and gets out to say hello to us. He could have easily simply driven by and we would have never even known it was him. He asks us all about our trip and drew a picture for my wife. When our chat was over he asked us if we had walked to the studio (it's in a kind of industrial area, but only about a 10 minute walk from the city proper) and we told him yes. He told us to get in and drove us back into town. He told me to sit up front with him, so I rode shotgun in Bono's car. There's more to the story, but that's the gist.

     

    Brandi Carlile: We used to go see her play every Sunday night at a local pub here in Seattle. She had to compete with the clanging dishes and belligerent drinkers. Paid rehearsal, but still pretty special to witness as it was clear she was going places. I taped several of those shows and talked to her and her band a bit. By the end she was getting a bit fed up with the grind of playing for mostly strangers I think, but she broke out just after that. Still hard to make sense of it all when I hear those same songs on TV or covered by Adele.

     

    I always seem to run across Eddie Vedder at the airport, but have never gone up to him to say hello.

    Great Story! Especially liked the average joe attitude of Bono Saw Brandi C here in Boston 1st pass through she signed a CD for my Daughter very welcoming. Good you made some tapes eh?

    Roger Daltrey Tour Opener 9/13 Review ; Pretty Good

    in Someone Else's Song

    Posted

    Review by Lee Zimmerman of Palm Beach Broward Times

    Abridged ...

    The truth is, Roger still looks remarkably vibrant these days, still tousle-haired, tanned, and boasting a youthful flush that belies his age. Ever agile, he's still a confident front man, able to twirl a microphone without fumbling it and wail away on harp, competently strum a guitar and even pick away on ukulele when he has to. If his voice doesn't quite pack a youthful bluster or muster the bravado it once did, it still comes close to hitting the high notes and expressing an undiminished authority. Besides, any lapses are more than made up for by the way he tempers his tone with sentiment and sensitivity. The Tommy track list and its added material span more than two hours and demand both force and nuance, traits that Daltrey still seems to possess.

     

    That's fortunate because it was apparent that those who filled the nearly sold-out auditorium were devoted Who fanatics that expected no less. And on that score Daltrey didn't disappoint. He tore through Tommy with a veracity that rivaled his performances of old, turning signature songs like "Pinball Wizard," "I'm Free" and the soaring conclusion, "We're Not Gonna Take It" into the obvious anthems that Townshend had always intended them to be. The crowd erupted at the first strums that signaled "Pinball Wizard" and by the time Tommy reached its conclusion with the famous "Listening to you" refrain, the audience was on its feet and cheering along. Likewise, when Daltrey augmented the Tommy tunes with Who classics like "Baba O'Reiley," "Who Are You," "I Can See For Miles" and "Going Mobile" (mostly sung by Simon Townshend, who replicated his brother's vocals to a tee), the audience was equally inspired, responding with a frenzy that matched the reactions the Who once received in their heyday.

     

    A few unexpected entries were also slipped into the set list, among them "Giving It All Away," the Leo Sayer-penned song that appeared on Daltrey's initial solo album and a track which he claimed he had never sung before in concert. A Johnny Cash medley found him effective in a lower register, while a take on Taj Mahal's "Rider" practically became an opus all its own. And when he turned a lilting read of another of his solo standouts, "Without Your Love," into an appreciative thank you for fan devotion, Daltrey's tender touch prevailed.

     

    Still, it was that hoary rock opera that all had come to witness, and the reward was a reading that was both credible and compelling. If Daltrey and his deaf, dumb and blind boy alter-ego are no longer as inseparable as they once seemed, he proved he's still adept at slipping back into character. And for him, it's a lot less awkward than it would be for any of us who might opt to reclaim our former selves from 40 years before. Unlike our old bellbottoms and tie-dyed tees, in Daltrey's capable hands, Tommy still wears well.

     

    Critic's Notebook

     

    Personal bias: I'd rank the Who among my top five favorite bands of all time, and having caught several concerts by the group's original foursome, a performance by only one of their members might pale in comparison. Still, seeing one quarter of that combo is better than seeing none, and in his role as front man, Daltrey carries the legacy well.

     

    Random detail: Since this was the first date of his new tour, it was only natural that there were a few flubs, mainly in terms of some occasional false starts. "There were a few senior moments," Daltrey admitted at Tommy's conclusion.

     

    By the way: Having guitarist Simon Townshend (Pete's brother) on board lends further credence to this revival. The rest of the band was equally impressive. In fact, Daltrey's backing band -- Townshend, Frank Simes (guitar), Scott Deavours (drums), Jon Button (Bass) and Loren Gold (Keyboards) -- is the best Who cover band one would ever want to see. Kudos to Deavours in particular for ably replicating Keith Moon's reckless, relentless technique.

    Nick Lowe

    in Just A Fan

    Posted

    For those of us who will be seeing Nick Lowe opening on this tour, and for anyone else generally interested in what Nick's up to these days, nice piece on him in today's NY Times:

    \

    http://www.nytimes.c...?_r=1&ref=music

    Good Article I knew Johnny Cash liked and recored Lowes writing but never knew of a Father -in law connection.

    On that matter here's what wiki has

     

    In 1979, Lowe married country singer Carlene Carter, daughter of fellow country singers Carl Smith and June Carter Cash and stepdaughter of Johnny Cash.[5] He adopted her daughter, Tiffany Anastasia Lowe. The marriage ended in 1990, but they remained friends, and Lowe remained close to the Carter/Cash family. He played and recorded with Johnny Cash, and Cash recorded several of Lowe's songs. Lowe's first son, Roy Lowe, was born in 2005.

    Thanks for Posting on Lowe he seems like a Good Guy to Have a Cup of Joe with!
