I was gifted two tickets to Peter Gabriel at the Chase Center in San Francisco last night. i/o The Tour is his first in almost 10 years. I can happily report that the concert was amazing! Actually, there were a couple of flubs right at the beginning – a lighting “trick” didn’t work properly the […]
Read more "Peter Gabriel live review – SF, 10/11/23"Just got back from Tangerine Dream a little while ago. Great show! They did their 90 minute set of “songs” – heard a bunch that I wanted to hear – recognized maybe 80% of the songs, took little video clips so that I could try and figure out the setlist – fortunately it has been […]
Read more "Tangerine Dream live review – Regency Ballroom, SF, Sep. 21, 2023"Ever listen to an album over and over? I’ve been doing that with something totally unexpected – Big Generator, Yes’s 1987 follow-up to their massive hit album 90125. I bought it when it came out, I was probably a senior in high school in Tokyo. I remember getting kind of sick of it, although there […]
Read more "Yes – Big Generator"On Sunday, July 5, 2020, the Fare Thee Well shows from Chicago, 2015 were streamed in their entirety. I had never had much interest, having seen the second of the two Santa Clara shows and being somewhat underwhelmed. But now I’m used to watching shows online, with Phish, Dead & Co., and the Grateful Dead […]
Read more "Fare Thee Well Reflections"One more installment – realizing that I may have seen Rush four times instead of three! I definitely saw them on the Presto tour in Worcester when I was at Clark, on the Vapor Trails tour at Shoreline in 2002, and on the R40 tour at SAP Center in San Jose. But I have a […]
Read more "#epicrushmemories 3"The recent passing of Rush drummer Neil Peart has affected a lot of people, myself included. A Facebook friend and I came up with the hashtag #EpicRushMemories – here are mine: I got tickets for the Vapor Trails tour show at the Shoreline Amphitheater in 2002 – received a call within a day or so […]
Read more "#EpicRushMemories"Earlier this year I wrote a post about one of my favorite bassists, Roy Babbington of Soft Machine, and their concert in Berkeley in January 2019. Here’s a photo I took at the show, just taken with my iPhone – I think they might be playing Fourteen Hour Dream: Part of the story was that I had […]
Read more "Roy Babbington continued"Last month I met one of my idols, bassist Roy Babbington of Soft Machine. They played at the Freight & Salvage Coffee House in Berkeley, California on January 24, 2019. Their tour that began in 2018 was their first to the United States since opening for Jimi Hendrix in 1968! I really never expected to […]
Read more "Bassist Roy Babbington"I was very lucky to be given tickets to one of the Grateful Dead’s final shows, Sunday night at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, CA. Tried getting tickets through the lottery but was denied, had basically accepted the fact that I wouldn’t get to go. But a 49ers season ticket holder had gotten tickets, only […]
