Ugh... I've heard of Crazy White Sean, so I refuse to click that link.

And yes, Jonathan Davies' mic stand is pretty chouette, from the pics I've seen.

Well yes his act is a bit...well....scary. Saw the last gig in their mini tour yesterday-it wasn't quite as shocking this time round. What surprises me is what a lovely guy he is-was chatting to him afterwards (plus he was on the same plane back to London) and he is just so normal-well if you look past all the piercings and tattoos.

And go on...click the link...you know you REALLY want to...

This weekend is the annual Bloodstock indoor metal festival, but this year I can't go because it clashes with a business conference. However, I do get to go to the "warm-up party" tonight, and see a couple of random bands play. So that'll be fun. I'm off in about half an hour.

The best gig I went to strangely, was Tesla (remember them???) in 1986 in London, when I was but a foolish child. they were outstanding.

They are coming to Tampa in a few days or so.
Another show that I would like to see, but I have to save my pennies

I was in Boston over the weekend and found out that Jimmy Buffett was playing in Fenway Park. I'd never been to see him before so we got some tickets. I must say it was a great time.

He does an awesome live show.

Wait a second.....You went to a Buffet show and actually REMEMBER what happened?

Most people I know are in a drunken stupor for a week after his concerts.

Post by **Damelon** » Thu Sep 16, 2004 1:26 am

Well, I remember most of it.

I've always heard Buffet concerts are a lot of fun.

I'm off tonight to go hear Wynton Marsalis and the Rockefeller Center Jazz Orchestra.

. I haven't been to a concert in a long time, so I'm hoping it will be a good one.

Will be hooking up with some friends who will also be going to the concert, and going to the Firefly Club in Ann Arbor to go hear more live jazz after the concert.

The concert was incredible. For the encore, the trumpeters came out along with the piano player, the drummer, and the bass player. The five trumpeters took turns tossing completely impromptu, searing hot, solos back and forth and around like a ball. It was the most amazing thing I have ever heard in my life. Truly awesome.

They were making a live recording to release somewhere down the road, so keep an eye out for a CD of Wynton Marsalis and the Rockefeller Center Jazz Orchestra playing live at Hill Auditorium in Ann Arbor, and you will hear some truly incredible big band jazz.

Went to another fantastic jazz concert tonight.

Dave Brubeck is a master jazz musician, and the originator of such standards as Take Five. He also plays some classical music, and some very original compositions that fuse ethnic music (such as traditional Japanese music) with jazz.

I went to see him and his quartet tonight.

He was awesome. He is 83 years old, walks very stiffly, has a headful of white hair, and an old man's quavery voice. But when he sits down at his piano he plays with the intensity and force and limberness of a twenty year old.

He also seemed to be a genuinely nice person. He talked about how happy he was to meet with music students the day before and answer all of their questions (he mentioned that a lot of the questions were about his Japanese/jazz fusion album). One of his army buddies from WW2 was in the audience and he had him stand up and told a story about how they had once been trapped behind German lines in the war, and dedicated a wonderful classical piece, Elegy to him.

It was amazing.

It was remarkable.

I feel honored and privaleged to have heard him play his music.

I got chills just reading this - wish I could have been there!
