PopTodd Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 How was the show?Mavis was exactly what you would expect: rousing, boisterous and a lot of fun.Bob played way too many Sinatra covers. Sounded workmanlike, but not terribly thrilling. Great band that just sounded... like they should. Meh. Link to post Share on other sites

Vacant Horizon Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Jay Farrar tonight in Atlanta.  He's two guys with him playing random stringed instruments.  One is a pedal steel!  Jay was excellent.  Once you see him a few times, you begin to understand that he's just a quiet dude immersed in the performance.  I find him to be one of the few artists that can hold my attention playing solo for an entire show (another being Neil Young).  He played all of Trace with great care, not just running through the tunes.  Played some nice rarities (no UT) and a great totally re-imagined Rainy Day Women.  Venue was great.  Easy parking etc.  If you're in Atlanta, definitely check out the City Winery.

remphish1 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Gabriel sting was great! Sets are intertwined so if was neat. They both sing some of each other's songs and do backup for each other. Do yourself a favor and look at a set list first to get an idea for the show. I bought the cheapest seat in the house and thought I got my money's worth! Link to post Share on other sites

watch me fall Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Jay Farrar tonight in Atlanta.  He's two guys with him playing random stringed instruments.  One is a pedal steel!I was there.  I enjoyed hearing the Trace songs but I really loved Highway 61 and Methamphetamine. Dylan cover was cool, too. City Winery was a neat venue. I'm glad they finally got their issues worked out so they could open. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm glad they finally got their issues worked out so they could open.  Yes, Highway 61 and Methamphetamine were great.  As was Barstow.  Hell, I love all the 'band' songs in the acoustic setting.  It just shows how strong the songs are.  Not many artists can do that.  The venue was great.  I had someone escort me to my seat! I did not drink wine though.  Also, couldn't help thinking some folks were there having dinner and didn't know a concert was scheduled.  Link to post Share on other sites
Moss Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 I saw Chris Cornell at the cap theater last night. Really, really good. A few too many covers, but otherwise I was pleasantly surprised.That guy does have some pipes. Link to post Share on other sites

You will be sitting right next to a friend of mine he is in seat 21 I assume you got 19-20. You will have no issues getting in Link to post Share on other sites

It was ok, a little over priced in my opinion. I'm not a big wine person but I did have one glass just because I felt I should. Anyway, I thought it was a good crowd. Pretty respectful and appreciative. Chris CornellDid he do River of Deceit? I've read where he's been covering it in his shows. I love the original but I think Chris does a great cover. Link to post Share on other sites

remphish1 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Still a good deal! Those seats were $120 after fees originally! I use stub hub probably once every other month for buying and sometimes selling..never had any issue Link to post Share on other sites
