moffo Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 I went to see Skynyrd last night in Manchester and they rocked... of course the highlight was Freebird which was awesome, but I've got to say they nailed every song!!! Let's hope they get back to Manchester soon!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledded1 Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Yes, we do. Believe it or not, those three shows just barely scratch the surface. The National were also playing in town last night as well as Bonnie "Prince" Billy who was in Carrboro. I feel fortunate that there's usually no shortage of music to hear. I just hate it when there's so much going on at one time that it makes it impossible to catch it all. Thankfully that only seems to happen once in a great while. Given the amount of shows you go to wouldn't it be easier to turn your home into a venue itself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't heard of Aynsley Lister till on the day when I found out who the support act was. Thoroughly enjoyed him, think I'll be downloading him today! I did actually see 2 fellas with Zep t-shirts on and I wondered if they were from here. I had a Skynyrd one on, but my girlfriend put her Zep one on (one of us had to show our colours!!)... I was sat about 5 rows from the back, not the best seats but the sound seemed pretty good for a venue that needs some work doing to it!!!

Jahfin Posted June 7, 2009 Author Share Posted June 7, 2009 (edited) Yesterday I caught part of The Rosebuds set at the Band Together benefit in Raleigh. I have been hearing about them for years but have never actually heard any of their music or seen them in concert until yesterday. I loved what little bit I heard and can't wait until I have an opportunity to see them live again. Unfortunately that is this coming Wednesday in Durham, the same night Steve Earle is playing the ArtsCenter in Carrboro. Last night I saw The Trousers and Oepdius Dick at Slim's in Raleigh. The Trousers don't play out much so I try to see one of their shows whenever I can. You also have to be sure to be on time as they play a 30 minute set and then they're done. They are very blistering and straightforward. They get right to the rock without a whole lot (if any) stage banter. It was my first time seeing Oedpius Dick and I didn't know what to expect. My first impression is they're a cross between fellow locals The Countdown Quartet (who were sort of an offshoot of Squirrel Nut Zippers) and Frank Zappa. Strange but very humorous lyrics, danceable and at times, they employed horns. They did fairly rearranged versions of songs by Three Dog Night (Mama Told Me Not To Come) and Britney Spears in addition to their original material.

rainydaywoman Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Leonard Cohen was an amazing human experience I think for the whole audience. Much love and gratitude to the man. Just beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misty Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 i saw Elvis Costello at the Beacon in NYC last Wednesday night. he was good...but i admit i was disappointed that he only did 3 of his "old" songs. his new sound is very "country", co-writing one song he performed with Loretta Lynn. interesting that he went down this music genre path, not unlike Plant with the country blue grass thing.

Doing country isn't anything new for Elvis. In addition to his Almost Blue album he's also done duets with Lucinda Williams, Emmylou Harris, George Jones and many others. He's playing here tomorrow and I'd love to see him but it's out of the question right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jahfin Posted June 17, 2009 Author Share Posted June 17, 2009 How was Steve Earle? Very good though the ArtsCenter could have stood to have turned on the A/C. The opener, Joe Pug, was also very good. His vocal mannerisms at times reminded me of Dylan but not in a bad way. He had a style of performing that was very much all his own.

bigzepfan Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Just saw Credence Clearwater Revival Revisisted. Original drummer and bass player. Excellent show at the Turning Stone Resort and casino in Verona, NY. June 16, 2009. They played SOOOO many great songs I have not heard in probably 20-30 years. The guitar solo on Heard It Through the Grapevine was just awesome. He really grooved it. Unfortunately I was on the wrong side for the lead guitar but I was close enough so it didn't matter too much. The singer who replaces Fogerty. If you close your eyes and catch a nice buzz he sounds the same. He's a bit of a nut onstage, but that's cool. shows he's not there to just copy fogerty. I missed the very beginning but when I walked in and was seated by the hostess they were just ending one song and started Suzie Q. What excellent picking! And what a great "first song" for me. Then they played another great oldie and then another and then another. Made me think back to my childhood when they were one of the best. Aah memories. I must admit though. Every show i've been to since December 2007 I realize how lucky I am to have been at Zep. Nothing will ever come close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timothy5151 Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 I was at the FredRock Festival in Fredericton, NB, Canada this past weekend. Got to see Live, The Black Crowes and Gordie Johnson (formally of Big Sugar and Grady). Also got to see some new bands as well, such as Age of Daze and The Replacements. The music was fantastic, can't say the same about the weather. Local weather channels called for 7-10mm of rain.... we goth 44.8mm. I was completely wet all the way through my clothes. It was well worth it though. I was pretty much up front for it all. About 5000-6000 showed up. Got to meet Chris Robinson in the lobby of my hotel, as well as talked/had a drink with Gordie Johnson at the hotel bar after the concert. It joined the local ban for a few songs for fun. Goods times all around. Getting prepared for AC/DC and Coldplay next month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jahfin Posted June 26, 2009 Author Share Posted June 26, 2009 Also got to see some new bands as well, such as Age of Daze and The Replacements. I'm guessing you meant The Respectables. The Replacements ceased to exist circa 1990. Last night I saw Marah at the Pour House in Raleigh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
