Who are You Going to See?

[AudioDoctor]

Morgan James next month at The Dakota, and Diana Krall in January.

[Jeff_N]

Saw the New Pornographers play their album Mass Romantic last night, and Twin Cinema tonight, at Webster Hall. They always put on a fun show.

REALLY looking forward to seeing Tori Amos tonight, at a absolutely wonderful venue, the Michigan Theater, in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I've been a huge fan of hers for thirty years, since her Little Earthquakes album appeared and blew so many people away. Getting to see her in such a superb acoustical venue should be stunning!

Pet shop Boys tomorrow night!

Jack White in Portland, OR on June 6th. The venue (Moda Center) is not great but I like Fear of the Dawn, can’t wait for his second release this year and hoping to hear it live first!

Cool! Enjoy.

Is she bringing her Bösendorfer? I know she really likes to bang it out on one.

Cecile McLoran Salvant June 3rd at the Chicago Symphony Center. Saw her once before and it was, how shall I say, a religious experience. Looking forward to next week.

Her Bosendorfer was in the house per the control panel guy I was talking to. Excellent concert. She's a powerful performer.

My sister flew in (to Chicago) from New York to see her.  She missed her out in NY due to covid.

Chicago resident as well?  I get to the CSO several times a year.  Took my daughter to see Yuja Wang there in Feb.  I think we've seen Yuja 4 times now.  Amazing performance, always.  Not to mention she's stunning.

 

Going to the Chicago Theatre tonight to see Ray LaMontagne.

 

Going to see Robert Plant and Allison Krauss next week

 

Saw Wilco for their YHF shows in April.

 

Saw Bob Weir & the Wolf Bros anniversary of Ace show at Radio City in NY.  If anyone isn't familiar with Bob's band, he has Don Was as his bassist, Barry Sless on pedal steel,  a brass & string section with Brian Switzer on trumpet, Adam Theis on tenor trombone, Sheldon Brown on tenor and alto saxophone, clarinet, bass clarinet, flute and bass flute, Mads Tolling on violin, and Alex Kelly on cello.  Just amazing.

 

Saw Jorma Kaukonen at the Old Town School of Folk Music in March.

 

So nice to be seeing live music again.

Near Chicago - live near the dizzy center of Chicago (off of I-94N) 😁

[AnotherSpin]

Grigory Sokolov tonight with program of Beethoven, Brahms and Schumann.

I was unexpectedly gifted with a ticket to see Steely Dan the other evening. It was a rare, beautiful, 70 degree night, with low humidity and nary a cloud. The concert was absolutely outstanding. Donald Becker can still get it done, and he has assembled an absolutely brilliant band. Ten musicians and three backup singers. The performance as so tight, it would have held up as a studio recording. The guy next to me, who had previously identified himself as a lifetime Steely Dan fan,  turned and said, after after one of Steely Dan's classics, did I just hear what I heard, and I said, simply, "yes, it was incredible".

Sleigh Bells at Brooklyn Steel this Thursday.

[botrytis]

How about going to Blues Brother's Con at the Joliet Penn.

 

Dan Ackroyd and Jim Belushi were present.

[watercourse]

This Friday, seeing the Jazz Is Dead "revue" (ADRIAN YOUNGE, ALI SHAHEED MUHAMMAD, BRIAN JACKSON, DOUG CARN, HENRY “THE SKIPPER” FRANKLIN, KATALYST). Will be great to see Mr. Younge and Ali Shaheed again, with architects of 70s and 80s Black jazz brought forward by the JID series. Mississippi Studios is one of the best venues here in PDX, who record, highlight, and nurture musicians. If you all don't know Adrian Younge, as audiophiles you will be interested in his recording techniques. This tour looks like it is West Coast only, so if you're on this side, hope to see you there honoring these legends.

Going to see Los Lobos in December at the City Winery in Chicago.

On vacation in Berlin.  There's a music festival. Last night I saw the LSO and Simon Rattle. Nice program of 20th and 21st Century music. Bartok, Sibelius, Ravel, Kidane. Oh, and a short Berlioz piece. 

Very nice. Nothing like hearing a live symphony orchestra. Philharmonic Hall in Berlin has some great acoustics.

Just booked a weekend getaway to Atlanta on Oct 8th.

 

We'll see Nathalie Stutzmann's debut as the music director of the Atlanta Symphony with a program including Beethoven's 9th symphony. Very exciting to see a woman appointed to lead a major American orchestra.
