    In complete aggrement especially when they closed with this

    I spoke with tour mngr they will be back next year, Would love to see them hit RI in addition to Boston.

  2. First time seeing the DBTs, I enjoyed it. Great set list, got to see lots of tunes on my wish list. I've always been kinda ambivalent on Cooley's tunes but done live, there's a lot of energy that mostly doesn't translate for me from their records. Last third of the show they really kicked it into high gear. Of course, that's when we were leaving but I had two 15 yr old boys in tow and it was a school night so its all good.

    Thanks for the review, I am looking forward to hearing how the new songs specifically sound live.Good you took your son, mine is taking me. See what you can look forward to in 10 yrs ?
  3. Can't speak for him, no one can. Did read he battled drugs and alcohol early in life. Claimed to have stopped drinking hard stuff just wine. Don't know if he was loaded when he pulled the trigger. Must have been a lot of pain.

    Either way what's left is his music and our memories.

    Rest In Peace

  4. Got out to hear a GD cover band last night. Out of a jam they went into 10 minutes of Whipping Post. The place went nuts, it seemed everyone was looking for some live ABB.

    Turned out a couple of the guys onstage had sat in with Butch on a recent Les Bres Boston stop.

  5. I know there are many fans besides me of ABB ...

    Man I'm going to miss seeing him. I had the chance to meet him a couple of times.

    An easy conversationalist, and funny too. I'm going to play Post tonight, and listen for those drums!

    The band is slowly being reformed above.

    Butch Trucks thanks for sharing the Joy!

    Rest In Peace

  6. Can't figure out how to copy/paste a video without a link, but from one of my favorite movies, Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid: The scene of Slim Pickens dying while his wife weeps and "Knocking on heaven's Door" plays....

    That scene and movie made an impression on me. A few few yrs after it came out. I saw it and bought the soundtrack. Was Dylan actually in the movie Its so long ago. But I seem to recall him in it, or a bit part in an early 70s Western.
  7. Bruce Springsteen & E Street Met Life #2

    Opened with NY City Serenade joined by full strings, not often your in a completely quiet football stadium, lit up the house by going directly into Roalita next.

    4:01 later the last note echoed out!

    Bruce Springsteen & E Street The Last Dance tour ending show at Gillette. This show was stock full of covers rarieties and an amazing acoutstic based rendition of Sandy.

    Happy to be there with my 3 kids, suddenly in their 20s

     

    Wilco at State Theatre Portsmouth, to me the band played livelier than their two nights later in Boston. Perhaps, it was the lively dedicated Canadian crowd all around me that helped to leave that indelible view.

     

    Jackson Browne / Steve Windwood opening Tanglewood.

    An amazingly pleasant summers eve well spent in the first row. Both performers seem to take good care of themselves, and are in fine voice. My first concert back there since Wilco 1/2 dozen summers prior.

     

    Nathaniel Rateliff & the Nightsweats Lupos / Providence.

    Playing their last night prior to going to Europe. My second time seeing them and they consistently deliver. I have been to Lupos many a time over the years it's never been hotter, and it felt Great! Did two great covers Out on a Weekend and Orphelia

     

    Have a couple left for the year The Bosstones fun night.

    Seeing The Roots the night after Christmas could be an addition to my list ..

  8. An Evening With Tedeschi Trucks Band

    Went Thursday and Saturday / Thursday was a bit more bluesy Saturday's second set rocked at the end.

    Enjoyed both, woulda coulda shoulda gone Friday..

    Random Thought

    They used to drop a ABB song in the past, but know just some licks from D. Trucks.

  9. ^^^ That should be a great show. I found out about Jesse Malin about a year ago from a guy I was sitting next to at an Alejandro Escovedo show so its funny (to me) to see them on the same bill.

    It was a good show!

    Alejandro Escovedo is such a talent and has so much history, he loves to share. He sings well in his mid 60s, and, he has a gunslinger for a guitarist. His songs are eaqual to his voice in richness, and his characters are deep and flawed. There is a very strong feeling of being in Austin seeing him live. He told a funny story about being called up on Springsteens stage for the first of 3 times, so far.

    Jesse Malin tries so hard to walk in the steps of his heroes Lou Reed, The Clash for example. He is more of an over sharer IMO. He chats a lot for an opener and chastised the crowd for not listening. He tried to reclaim attention when he left the stage and climbed onto a bar to do a call & return but that didn't fly. He did start by saying it was the last nite of the tour and he did have a few " pops " prior to curtain. Perhaps that had an impact... ?

  10. I know it's not kosher to post AFTER the show, but I completely forgot to mention the incredibly fun show on Sunday night by Frank Turner and the Sleeping Souls. High energy and great vibes that really got the crowd engaged.

    Glad you seen them. I have tickets to the tour Ender here in Boston.

    I will also violate the title and post from a Sunday Concert.

    Tedeschi Trucks Mohegan Sun Tremendously Diversified Set of Music so well played! Looking forward to the 3 night appearance at The Orpheum next month.

  11. Been trying too but the shows sell out quick.

    Hear you about them selling out, this was not an easily bought pair. They are well worth the effort. With a live sound of RB tinged at times with New Orleans and also Soulful. They deliver live! It was my second time seeing them they were better than the first. Perhaps because they have two albums behind them now.

    This was the last US date on this leg. They are playing Paris on Wens.

    They came out loose and ready. Quite a varied setlist full of familiar, mixed with 3 new songs.

    In the Encore ..

    Instead of Shape I'm In, we got a tremendous version of Ophelia.

    A Great Night Out.

  12. Actually Last Night ARW Anderson Rabin Wakeman at the Wang in Boston.

    It was a Triumphant area return to a Boston area stage for Anderson and Wakeman in 12 years. Prog Rock is not everyone's cup of tea. I have to be in the mood for it myself, then I'm deeply appreciative of the musicianship. Last night I was blown away by Wakeman's extrodinary abilities to blend 12 different keyboards so seamlessly and relaxed.Andersons voice still soars he didn't miss a lyric and played the Harp!

    Here is some of Roundabout from last night
