AudioDoctor Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Maybe Paris, it kind of depends on the timing and weather this summer. I would rather not be in Paris during a 100+ degree heat wave. No electron left behind. Link to comment
rando Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 While 2/3 the country is taking their annual vacation. Effectively closing everything but corporate owned patisserie and fast food. Your American passport is one of the strongest. Go somewhere. Then catch her in Amsterdam. If you want to talk about local heritage the Dutch, German's, and Scandinavian's need to be accounted for. For Jazz, is that choice very hard? Link to comment

rando Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 The coming month's are looking better than I'd expected. Sharon Bezaly giving a world premiere with the Minnesota Orchestra in May. Carolyn Sampson with the same orchestra performing Mahler's 4th in June. Then Igor Levit, Nicola Benedetti, and Gautier Capuçon with Yuga Wang this Fall. Just got back from once again being surprised at a local concert series with exceptional live music. This one an all female Wind Quintet in celebration of International Women's Day. The French horn's bell was no more than 2' from a solid wood wall. I'm still trying to figure out if this was a planned event. Always something surprising that works out very well. Link to comment

rando Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I was very close to tagging you in that post. Thinking about sending an email to BIS to see if Mahler's Fourth will be recorded, surely it must be, live or following one of three concerts. I'd include the SPCO in that idea for a visit. Add Martin Fröst tomorrow morning to my list! Link to comment
rando Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Quote Jesper Nordin’s Emerge uses an app invented by Nordin called “Gestrument” that enables Fröst to control sound and create sound sculptures in real time with his physical gestures Quite readily wanted to answer how one can play clarinet, conduct, and use a phone app. By no small stretch this was going to be the most interesting work on the concert program to see live. Patience rewards those who can hold their seat for 3+ hours. Link to comment
sete Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 I have tickets for Radiohead in New York and The Smashing Pumpkins in Philly, both in the summer. Also thinking of going to Despacio (the “club” thing from James Murphy with 2Many DJs. And will probably see Nils Frahm next weekend and something from the flamenco festival that’s coming up. So many concerts in New York, so little time (and money)... (By the way the NY Philharmonic will play the live score to 2001 next season, starting September. If you’re around, don’t miss it) Jud 1 Link to comment
jjborders Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 New additions to my 2018 lineup include Gomez at the Lincoln theater in Washington, DC. They've been on my bucket list for awhile, but when they went on an extended break, I didn't think it would happen. Also while we are on vacation in Denver we got tickets for Bare Naked Ladies, Better Than Ezra, and KT Tunstall at Red Rocks Amphitheater. Should be fun. Link to comment

Went to see Better Than Ezra last summer at an outdoor event. They were fabulous. I was surprised that almost half there set were cover songs. I think they may have done that to please all the non Ezra fans. Excellent sound at that show.

First time in Madison Square Garden was an amazing experience for my young self (at 17). Best concert though was the "Masterworks" tour where they played only their long epic pieces, I had an out of body experience during the "Wurm" movement of "Starship Troopers"... Still, in any case, the concert will be good.

Still, in any case, the concert will be good. Seen Yes 8 times in my life, but the first four were amazing. Smallest was Elyria Catholic High School (yes, a high school gymnasium). I was 5 ft from Steve Howe. Then later next spring at Lakeland Community college (again, first few rows). My most amazing concert was taking the most beautiful girl in HS, red dress and all, to Akron Civic Theater in Dec 1971 where they debuted Fragile. WoW! And finally, again in summer 1972 at the Akron Rubber Bowl. Truly the most eclectic concert I've ever attended. First up was an upstart group with a hit called Witchy Woman, the Eagles. Then John McLaughlin and Mahavishnu Orchestra (the classic lineup with Billy Cobham, etc) and finally Yes. We taped their performance (a debut of Close To The Edge) on a cheapo Aiwa portable, but it was great nonetheless. Four times in two years! Those were the days. austinpop, barrows and Johnseye 1 2 "We're all bozos on this bus"....F.T.
