Aggie87 Posted September 16, 2021 Report Posted September 16, 2021 Had Madeleine Peyroux (and Joan Osborne) on tap for tonight in Philadelphia, but they rescheduled it for May 2022, just yesterday. Blah. On the brighter side I got to see King Crimson last week, my first show since the pandemic started. They were fantastic, as was the Zappa Band, who opened. Quote

Anthony London Alas no (and not a ‘London type’) but I’m hoping that their deferred Swanage Fest slot is rescheduled for 2022. That should be a blast ! Even better if they make it West of Heathrow even sooner. Edited October 15, 2021 by sidewinder Quote
Mark13 Posted October 15, 2021 Report Posted October 15, 2021 (edited) Not tonight but last Sunday I saw Bill Frisell play Vredenburg/Tivoli in Utrecht. That was somewhat of a coincidence. That morning I went through a stack of 2nd hand cd's that I had recently bought and decided to give his 'Disfarmer' its second spin. Listening to the music, still enjoying my morning coffee, I got curious what Bill was up to and when I checked online I found out he was scheduled to play in nearby Utrecht to end a brief European tour that evening. As there were still a few tickets available I jumped at the opportunity. I've been to several of his concerts over the past 30 years or so and my tastes have drifted in a slightly different direction but it took him and his band exactly 2 seconds to spellbind me. The interplay, dynamics, the seamless way in which one tune morphed into the next, it was absolutely breathtaking. Edited October 16, 2021 by Mark13 Quote

I watched a stream from there during lockdown, looks a lovely venue. He seems to regard it as his home venue. I have tickets for his London performance in a month, just need to resolve some health issues and I'll be there. Can't miss a visit from Charles 13 hours ago, adh1907 said: I suspect it is quite a task assembling a big band so I hope the Swanage festival thing comes off. Having now had my Booster jab I may risk the subterranean pit that is the 100 club. Anthony London I haven't had a booster, another 6 weeks, so I'm not risking it, sadly. Quote

I watched a stream from there during lockdown, looks a lovely venue. He seems to regard it as his home venue. I bought tickets about 2 years ago for a concert with the Marvels. Cancelled for covid but rescheduled with Gerald Clayton, Reuben Rogers and Justin Brown. (It's ok, I've seen him with the Marvels, including Lucinda Williams, a couple of times.) I first heard him when Kieth Jarrett was still with him so that must have been nearly 50 years ago. Then didn't see him until I moved to Santa Barbara. i think I've seen him here 5 times in the last 20 years. Charles is 83, stood for the whole 2 hour with no intermission concert and danced a lot in a manner reminiscent of Monk-- including throwing his right elbow up as Monk did IIRC. Began with Dirge and then spoke about the passings of George Wein, Phil Schaap and Mikis Theodorakis. (He explained he usually didn't speak much at concerts but felt it was ok since he considered The Lobero his living room. ) I've never heard him sound better and I was very impressed by the rest of the group.

Thanks for the report, sounds great. I love his "dancing", he did a fair amount of that at Ronnie's the last time he was here. I haven't heard the band with Brown so I'll look forward to that if he comes over I envy you seeing the Marvel's with Lucinda, a lot! Quote

kh1958 Posted October 30, 2021 Report Posted October 30, 2021 Last night at Windmills in The Colony, Jackie Venson. A somewhat annoying venue with good sound. Great guitar playing abounded. Quote
Steve Reynolds Posted October 31, 2021 Report Posted October 31, 2021 Last night Phil Lesh & Friends at Capital Theatre in Port Chester, NY 2 great sets - 2 hours & 45 minutes of music. Very emotional to be back seeing Phil live in person. He will be 82 on 3/15/2022. He’s playing very well and the group with him (10/29, 10/30 & tonight) is wonderful. Great singers and guitarists complimenting the legend. Especially his son Grahame and the 2 featured singers Nicki Blum & M. T. Taylor. Nicki singing lead on the encore “Brokedown Palace” was spectacular. Then again with the Hunter/Garcia songbook it’s hard to go wrong. As usual Phil played many of the great Dead classics that Jerry sang. Deal, Bird Song, Uncle John’s Band, Eyes of the World, Dupree’s Diamond Blues & Shakedown Street were all played last night.
