Ten Years Gone

Oh yeah; I really liked them back in the day. I agree Candy O was the best. It was definitely a very new sound when it hit; I think they put out an album a year while I was in high school. I saw them live once; I think it was Richmond VA for the Panorama tour. I'm afraid it was not one of my favorite concerts; they sounded good, but they just kind of stood there and played. They didn't interact with the audience at all, and as I recall, the songs sounded exactly like they did on the albums.

The Clash, Rock the Casbah

A dear family member going through a health scare got the all-clear today

Maroon 5, with The Hives and Sarah Bareilles Oct. 8 in Charlottesville VA. 2 big thumbs up on Maroon 5 and also Sarah, who we (daughter and I) had never heard of before, but whose CD we bought within days of the concert. It was my daughter's first concert The Hives were a bit much for me; I probably would have loved them when I was in my 20s, though.

I saw the Police on their Synchronicity tour in '83; it was a great show. REM opened, but we got lost on the way to the arena and missed them . I had all of the Police's albums/cassettes, and then bought the boxed set of CDs about 10 years ago. I especially liked their earlier stuff; including Sting's appearance on "The Secret Policeman's Other Ball", when he did unplugged versions of Roxanne and Message in a Bottle. I had that album (vinyl) and video; not just for Sting though; the whole thing was fantastic. I also thought he was very cool in Quadrophenia I don't listen to them much these days though; they toured nearby this fall, and tickets were extremely high $$ so I passed.
