Wilfrid Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 If I had, I'd give it away. Is he not here for this garguantuan SNL 50th anniversary live stream on Sunday? I admit I am backing away from it, such a gluttony of self-congratulation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

small h Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 My neighbor texted me at 9am that he was on the line (there's a third show tonight) and did I want to wait with him so he could get a second ticket. Like, not for me, for his wife or daughter. So that was a hard no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MitchW Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Last week, at the Café Carlyle, we were lucky enough to see a great show by Benmont Tench; Benmont was Tom Petty's (RIP) keyboard player, and has played with, well, basically everyone from the Stones on down or up, however you want to look at it. And he had a special guest, who was on a break from a mini-tour - Steve Nieve. He invited Steve up and they sang a beautiful version of (What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding.

MitchW Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 As noted above, Steve is on a "mini-tour" with Elvis Costello. Seems right, since he's been playing keyboards with Elvis for about 47 years. We saw the shows in Red Bank and Montclair, NJ and will be at tomorrow night's show at the famous Capital Theatre, in Port Chester, NY.

Wilfrid Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I saw in the New Yorker that Henry Threadgill is playing Jazz Gallery with Vijay Iyer around the end of May. It will sell out. I can't believe there are still chances to see him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MitchW Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 A fantastic show at The Town Hall last night. T Bone Burnett, touring for the first time in nearly 20 years, in semi-support of his first album (The Other Side) over that same time period. All strings, lots of bluegrass, just great - as is the album. The strict no-photos policy was being enforced...with a light hand. So I waited until the final song to take a crappy pic... The album is well worth a listen...or ten. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And guess who was just added as a special guest at Trombone Shorty's Treme Threauxdown during Jazzfest? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephanieL Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Not sure if this would be considered a gig, but N and I saw a brilliant SF Symphony concert conducted by Marin Alsop last week, making her SF Symphony debut if you can believe it. Alsop, like Gustavo Dudamel, is a conductor I've always wanted to see live, so I'm really glad I had the chance. It was one of the best classical concerts I've ever seen.

small h Posted Tuesday at 11:35 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:35 PM On the (very) off-chance that any of y'all are familiar with my old pals Alice Donut, they have reunited after many years and are playing at Brooklyn Monarch this Friday (4/25) and Saturday (4/26). I will be there both nights, probably dressed inappropriately for my age. http://www.alicedonut.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
