I don't know where you reside, Chris, but I've lived in Seattle & thereabouts and was fortunate to be young enough to part take in the Seattle music scene including the late 80's\early 90's and see all of the bands that made it big & didn't make it big in the clubs and smaller places like The Moore\Paramount Theaters. Good times. Been a long time since I've seen Pearl Jam live, 1993, but they put on as good a live show as you'll see, imo. I can't take the large venues however. I'm jealous. Been a Pearl Jam fan since 1991 when I first heard 10. They've been my favorite band ever since. I was a sophomore in high school and got deep into Seattle music and all the offshoots. I've seen them numerous times including at Wrigley Field and Fenway Park. I can't wait to see them in Seattle and MT. They don't come here to Minneapolis often, so it's always fun to make an event out of going to see them somewhere. Founder of Audiophile Style | My Audio Systems Link to comment

Heard the first album on WNEW-FM in NYC. I never saw them live, but did see Robert Plant a few years ago with my son where every other song played was from LedZep. It was a great concert.

jjborders Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Portugal. The Man at the Anthem in Washington, DC next month. Dan Auerbach & The Easy Eye Sound Revue at the 9:30 Club in Washington, DC in May. Debating about getting tickets for the Jack White show in May, but I can't say I like his new song all that much. I'm sure there will be others as the year goes on. James The Computer Audiophile 1 Link to comment

THAT’s going to be great! And the 9:30 club is a cool venue. Really hope NPR records that one. I know Bob Boilen is an Auerbach fan, so there is a good chance of that. (Go back in the NPR Music archives and download a couple of the really old Black Keys concerts: some truly raw stuff—and a bit raunchy as I recall. My wife enjoys some Black Keys too, but she can’t understand and can’t stand it when I play those old concerts. ). UpTone Audio LLC Link to comment

Sorry to hear that, because he was my introduction to a bygone era of radio stations that played full albums when they came out, played multiple tracks from albums, played long tracks, had deep playlists....

firedog Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 On 1/26/2018 at 3:00 AM, watercourse said: Funny story, @Musicophile made a comment about the two Avishai Cohens being a point of confusion that should be fixed, and he and I traded some posts about musicians with same/similar names being confusing/funny. Meanwhile, I had forgotten that I had reserved an Avishai Cohen CD from my local library, and it arrived today. Guess what? I thought it was the trumpet guy when I reserved it, and it turned out to be the senior Avishai Cohen of the six-string and voice. You win, @Musicophile, it is definitely confusing! However, equally interesting is that I really like the subterranean-Cohen's new album, 1970. On paper, it doesn't sound appealing to me, but I'm listening to it now and I'm really enjoying it. Positive vibes for trying times here in la la land. So the moral of the story is that confusion may ultimately lead to enlightenment. I've seen the brass-Cohen live, and now that I know of his existence, I will not avoid the subterranean-Cohen if he ever swings to the PNW... Roon still can't tell the trumpeter and the bassist apart.
