Two shows, two nights, and they could have been more different. Three Dog Night at the Genesee Theatre was a memorable greatest hits show, while Steve Hackett and his 2019 Genesis Revisited tour was a journey into the wonderful depths of the prog rock stratosphere. You wouldn’t know most of the songs played unless you […]
Concert Review: Three Dog Night at the Genesee Theatre
“Lots of bands play deep album cuts on tour,” said Three Dog Night founding member Danny Hutton wryly. “We’re going to play deep album hits.” The seventeen-song, ninety minute set was well received by the sold out crowd of 2400 at the restored 1920’s era movie palace in Waukegan, Illinois. Our music guru Eric Berman […]
Concert Review: King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard
There’s definitely something going on in Australia as evidenced by the recent surge in psychedelic rock bands coming from the land down under. Groups like Tame Impala, The Murlochs, Pond, and King Gizzard are the most recent exports from the country that brought us AC/DC, INXS, Little River Band, and yes, the Bee Gees. Melbourne’s […]
Dead Floyd – A Band Beyond Description
There are plenty of Grateful Dead cover bands. There’s no shortage of Pink Floyd tributes. Dead Floyd, however is no novelty act. The music never stopped from what began as a one-off show. Ten years later, the Fort Collins, Colorado-based quartet of Charlie Humphreys (guitar, vocals), Josh Miller (bass, vocals), Stu Crair (drums, vocals), and […]

Dead & Company at the Hollywood Bowl – June 3 and 4, 2019
Writing about a Grateful Dead concert is always more than just a concert review. It’s been twenty-four years since Jerry Garcia’s death, but the band has reincarnated itself several times. They may have finally found a lineup that can deliver a true Deadhead-worthy experience. Trey Anastasio (Phish), Warren Haynes (Gov’t Mule) and John Kadlecik (Dark […]
Concert Review – Nick Mason at the Paramount Theatre in Denver
former Pink Floyd drummer brings his Saucerful of Secrets tour to North America “I got tired of waiting after twenty years for David (Gilmour) or Roger (Waters) to ring me up, so put my own band together,” explains the seventy-five year-old founding member of Pink Floyd. The ensemble includes long-time Pink Floyd and David Gilmour […]
Fleetwood Mac at The Spectrum Center, Charlotte, NC
In a continuation of last year’s trend of “go see Rock’n’Roll Hall of Famers on their One Last Go-round tour”, I took the whole family to Fleetwood Mac. All in all a really good show, probably better than I expected. I had never seen Fleetwood Mac, in spite of being somewhat of a fan, particularly […]
