Gilmour Live In Gdansk Has Something For Everybody
-
Artist:
-
Album:
Ok, so Pink Floyd are long gone, but fans got a real treat over the last couple of years as the original members made the rounds. The David Gilmour/Rick Wright tour in 2006, followed almost immediately by Roger Waters on the road with the occasional Nick Mason appearance in '06, and Waters never-ending "Dark Side" tours that continued into May, 2008 showed each man at his best. Roger completely in

The Black Strat
-
Artist:
Hey, I just took delivery of "The Black Strat" written by Phil Taylor, and it's absolutely incredible. This lavishly illustrated book chronicles the history of David Gilmour's signature guitar in the many versions and forms it's taken over the years. The book is satisfyingly technical with great photos and details of the modifications (and there have been a ton!) and tweaks that make this guitar n

Steve Forbert Has Still Got It!
-
Artist:
Back in the early 80's, all my friends and I were totally into Steve Forbert. It was always difficult to put finger on precisely what made him so great: kind of a rocked out folkie from Mississippi, but he was really from everywhere and his songs projected a universality that was really engaging and easy to connect with. We knew all the songs word for word, and his lyrics were always clever, "Life

Gore Gore Girls!!!
-
Artist:
I went to the Echoplex the other night for the Irving show (which was fantastic!) and I was completely blown away by the opening act, the Gore Gore Girls. Like some whacked-out post-apocalyptic vision of Nancy Sinatra as lethal fem-bots in their vinyl minidresses, these girls create quite a spectacle! HOWEVER, once they start playing, any hint of artifice is shattered as they throw some serious

Great Northern: As Good As It Gets!
-
Artist:
For those of us fortunate enough to see and hear Great Northern perform at Spaceland last night, time seemed to stand still for about an hour as the band set down a groove that at once mesmerized and intrigued the sellout crowd that gathered in our cozy little neighborhood club. The crowd was pumped; to see Great Northern perform their 10-song set in a venue this intimate amped up the anticipation

You Gotta See Rush!
-
Artist:
Ok, I just got back from the Hollywood Bowl and Rush absolutely KILLED! This is not some old-guy reunion tour, but instead an awesome 3-hour explosion of rock-solid music and visuals that had the crowd on its feet for nearly the entire show. They played a lot of stuff off the new "Snakes and Arrows" album which meshed perfectly with their classics. And they played a ton of songs! I read somewher

Andrew Bird - Seeing is Believing
-
Artist:
I just saw Andrew Bird for the first time last night at the Hollywood Bowl, and I'll say right off that words alone cannot describe the multi-dimensional talents that this guy and his band put on display as day turned to night. I've been listening to Andrew Bird's music for only a couple of months, and it's a tasteful blend of technical virtuosity, creative musical ideas/patterns and quirky insig
