Deborah J Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I am sure I will be attending other concerts before this, but a friend just called me and his wife booked a cruise over this date and they already had two tickets. I had to laugh at his wife who I adore for booking a trip over the dates:-) Joe Bonamassa at Fox Theatre in Atlanta, GA on Saturday, November21, 2015 - 8:00 PM. If anyone from the forum is in the area and would like to attend I have an extra ticket for free as they are free to me. I though I would reach out here before calling other friends:-) Just send me a PM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walter Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) ^^^Back-to-back nights, Chuck! Good on ya'! Interested in hearing how the Steely Elvis pairing went down.Yeah it's been quite a week.... Monday - Alice In Chains @ Hard Rock Live. Quick summary, we've seen them now 4 times (twice with and without Layne) and this was the first time seeing them headline (no opening act either). I think they need to stay as openers. They didn't have the energy to sustain the entire set (which was only 1h 45min). Jerry Cantrell is one of the most underrated musicians in the last 25 years, IMO. But they are much more intense as a 1 hour opener. Tuesday - We went with a couple to the Ampitheatre in Tampa (changes its name every 6 months) and were supposed to have lawn seats. Well, the show didn't sell very well and they put us under the foof in the back, which kinda sucked because it rained earlier and ended up being a beautiful evening with a nice breeze off the Gulf. Anyway, I've never been a big fan of Elvis but they put on a good set. We caught the last half and many people were up out of their seats dancing away. Steely Dan I've been a fan of for years but whenever they come around the tickets always were overpriced, IMO. We picked up a four pack of tickets for a great price of $30 per ticket, so I wasn't going to miss them. It was a thoroughly enjoyable show. Good energy, great crowd vibe, excellent musicianship. Very glad we went - except the traffic on the interstate took what should've been a 45 min trip home and made it 2 1/2 hours, due to overnight construction! Wednesday - hosted a dinner party at our house for my father-in-law's 76th birthday. Today getting prepped and packed up for a cruise leaving tomorrow morning to the Bahamas. Here is the set list for Steely Dan: Cubano Chant (Ray Bryant cover) Black Cow Aja Hey Nineteen Black Friday Time Out of Mind Show Biz Kids Rikki Don't Lose That Number Dirty Work Babylon Sisters Bodhisattva Daddy Don't Live in That New York City No More I Want To (Do Everything for You) (Joe Tex cover) Josie Peg My Old School Reelin' in the Years Kid Charlemagne The Untouchables (Nelson Riddle cover) My Old School was my fav of the night.

Steal Away Now Baby Rose Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Seeing Pink Martini tomorrow night at the Atwood Concert Hall, in the Alaska Center for the Performing Arts, here in Anchorage, Alaska, US.Walter, I saw Steely Dan last August, at Interlochen in Michigan. One of the greatest concerts I've ever been to. When they performed "Hey Nineteen", Walter Becker started rambling on about different stuff during the instrumental bridge, and then they did this big buildup for Donald Fagen, with Becker saying, " He's the reason you're here, He's the reason I'm here, ladies and gentlemen, Donald Fagen!" And the entire band made this big push and all the lights went up while he performed a little keyboard solo. Haha, it was awesome. Anyways, just wondering if they did anything like that at the concert you attended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I thought the drummer was a little simple and heavy. He was good, but not great.But hey, he had tough shoes to fill! I mean, Christ, Jeff Porcaro? Bernard Purdie? Steve Gadd? Rick Marotta? Jim Hodder?It's unreal how many amazing drummers Steely Dan played with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
