Songs You Should Be Listening To
Posts
Watch/listen to the following video & let me know what you think.
I'm not sure that anyone has followed John Mayer's career from day one to the present with such exuberance as I have, but I'm not entirely sure what to think of this. Generally, I like it; it's quiet, calm and extremely intimate. I just don't know if it cuts it for me.
It's only forty seconds, and I know you can't judge an entire song on a clip. The fact this is only a rough version is altogether a different ballgame.
Do I think this will be another hit for him? Yes.
I find this song a little less approachable, a little less comfortable, than what he usually produces. With songs like "I Don't Trust Myself with Loving You" and "Stop this Train," I always relate, not because I am going through or have gone through his current life obstacle of choice, but because he constructs things in a way to make you relate; I'm not sure this piece did that for me just yet.
I can't wait to hear the full length song, so I can make a real, accurate judgement.
For now, this piece is what it is....and it's kind of growing on me.
It's been awhile....but....
Since the last time I talked to you all, I've seen Death Cab for Cutie, Dave Matthews Band and Tom Petty in concert. I'm going to see Steve Miller Band next month.
I tried to catch the Weakerthans, but pathetically missed them.
I'm also looking into tickets to see the Police.
Any other suggestions for summer concerts around the Philly, Pittsburgh, Scranton area?

well, welcome back! you came on a good day. look at all the new stuff the site's just introduced today! looks like you've already gotten to some good shows and there's still many more months for summer shows. hmm..i'm not sure whats going on in philly. i'm in cali.
Skynyrd was not what I thought they'd be. I know it's not the "original" Skynyrd, but when I'm shelling out upwards of $70 for mediocre seats, I want to see a good show. Anyway, they played the typical, popular Skynyrd songs. As my father and I are both avid Skynyrd fans, we were kind of disappointed with their set: there were no dynamics whatsoever! The show was, dare I say, boring! The only song that I enjoyed even remotely was "Free Bird," but that's a given.
Then Hank Williams Jr. comes out. My dad and I were only there for Skynyrd, but we stayed. His set lasted an hour, exactly, and he didn't even play an encore!
I have to admit though, he riffed on a few very good songs by Aerosmith, Johnny Cash and Jerry Lee Lewis, and what songs he did sing were fantastic.
You know it's a good concert when Hank Williams Jr. plays the piano with his ass, anyway.
So what I'm trying to say here is, if you like Lynyrd Skynyrd, hold on tight to your albums and cds; the concert was not worth it at all. As for Hank Williams Jr...if you don't mind paying $70+ for an hour of his time, I guess it's all good.
Would I see them again? Maybe. But I seriously doubt it for that price.
