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 […]

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.

Eleven of the Best Rock Concerts I Have Attended
I have been fortunate to go to a lot of rock concerts in my lifetime. Considering what tickets cost today, those old ducats from the seventies and eighties turned out to be pretty good deals. Most of those ticket prices were under twenty bucks. The late seventies concerts were all under ten dollars. Compared to […]
Heavy Water
I’m back with the 427th edition of The 3D RadioActivity, and this time we will be focusing on a mostly moist musical motif. Pull out a tall refreshing glass as we keep our ears primed, although if you ask “Uncle Marty, water you talking about?”, I’d have to say exactly.

Concert Review – David Crosby at McGlohon Theater – Charlotte
Thanks to Glenn Love for this review. David Crosby last night at the quaint, 720-seat McGlohon Theater in downtown Charlotte, North Carolina was most excellent, as was the fresh Triple C IPA that was on tap. Crosby’s extraordinarily tight and talented band consisted of: Michael League, founder of Snarky Puppy, on guitar, bass & vocals; […]
