Your Last Concert (or two)

[ScramMan2]

July 20, 2018, McMenamins Crystal Ballroom, Portland OR

Bone Thugs-N-Harmony

Sold Out.

Edit 7/22/18: Dear Mr BTH. Why did you come on stage One hour and 45 minutes late? Is that what 50 million in album sales translates to? And why were you selling all access passes at the front door for $100? Shit heads.

Detroit Institute of Arts ~ Friday Night Live! Huun Huur Tu

This music group from the Russian republic of Tuva near the Mongolian-Russian border. The most distinctive characteristic of Huun Huur Tu's music is throat singing in which the singers sing both the note and the note's overtones, producing two or three notes simultaneously. The group primarily uses native Tuvan instruments and plays mostly indigenous Tuvan folk music, but is also known to experiment with western instruments and electronic music.

Got to see this living legend last night at the Celebrity Theatre.
Fantastic show! Jeff is 74 years old and playing better than ever.

Arctic Monkeys at CMAC in Canandaigua, NY. It was by far the most insanely loud concert I've ever attended, to the point of being intolerable.

Ron Gallo. Saw him in a dive bar, great show.

Cheap Trick at the Saenger Theater in New Orleans. Great show, those guys are one of my favorite bands of all time. Was hoarse for several days after singing along with Dream Police, I Want You to Want Me, and Surrender.

No VHS shit allowed. These are live shows you see with your body.

Cheap Trick at the Saenger Theater in New Orleans. Great show, those guys are one of my favorite bands of all time. Was hoarse for several days after singing along with Dream Police, I Want You to Want Me, and Surrender.

Yet another testament to the power and magic of Robin Zander, one of the greatest of all Rock vocalists, The Man Of 1000 Voices.

I wonder if The Trick ever play @ the EU anymore? I'd love to see 'em again.

Fantastic Negrito, Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Sturgill Simpson, and the War on Drugs. 7/28/2018, Camden, N.J. That was the Saturday night lineup at this year's WXPN Xponential Music Festival.

Simpson's bare bones flamethrower of a show was the best of the four. The War on Drugs was bigger, slicker, and more refined, but not my personal cup of tea.

I saw Preservation Hall Jazz Band way back in the '70s, and I remembered them as a big brass band playing Dixieland stuff like "When The Saints Go Marching In." Last night's version was just 6 guys featuring trumpet, trombone, tenor sax, stand-up bass, drums and keyboards. Kind of like a Trombone Shorty show. Definitely hotter than the '70s version.

Four extremely different acts on one bill, in a nice outdoor amphitheater with good acoustics, for $18 bucks (if you're an XPN member). Tough to beat that nowadays.

Lupe Fiasco

Not sure how many of these hip hop shows I can take anymore. They really suck.

This was the last show of a 6 night run. All in brutal 90 deg plus days.
