While we don’t have the full list of Classic TAB Fall Tour dates yet, another date seems to have leaked. On October 19 Big Red brings Classic TAB to Higher
The 1973 Western Pat Garrett and Billy The Kid isn’t exactly a memorable movie, but one fantastic tune came out of the ashes of the flick. Bob Dylan scored the
The surviving members of the Grateful Dead are teaming up to headline a benefit concert for the Presidential campaign of Senator Barack Obama, at the Bryce Jordan Center in State
BoDeans are an engaging band who has stood the test of time. Their longevity – and the reasons for it – were on clear display at their recent show at Seattle’s gorgeous Triple Door.
Decorating the stage with huge potted plants and flower garlands around the microphones, Dr. Dog created an overgrown garden on stage, adding to the already down-home-vibe of the music, this theatrical setting transported the audience to a remote forest glade for the performance.
Stone of Sisyphus is the great-lost Chicago album, at least till now with its release via Rhino. Recorded in 1993 in the wake of a series of middle-of –the road commercial successes, and originally intended as Chicago XXII, the album was conceived by the band and its producer Peter Wolf (once a Zappa sideman) as a return to the early approach the band utilized in creating original material arranged with room for improvisation.
The first dates for Trey Anastasio’s Classic TAB Fall Tour have leaked, leading us to believe an announcement of the entire run is imminent. The Palace Theatre in Albany posted
The summer concert season has kept the HT gang busy for the last couple of months hitting amphitheaters, clubs, boats and festies in order to catch great live music. Since we haven’t seen each other in quite awhile, we thought we’d round up crew to crack open some Sea Hag IPA’s for one last summertime cook out and another rousing edition of At The Barbecue – that’s bound to ruffle a few feathers.

“Generic.” “Ordinary.” “Plain.” These words could be used to describe The Band’s name. But I also enjoy using them to describe The Band’s music.

It’s just the parts when The Band are playing their songs that I usually find myself dozing off.

Last week’s Radiohead Cover Wars was one of the most popular to date. Eleven of the 16 artists received votes, but Gov’t Mule by a large margin received the most for their renditions of Lucky and Creep.

This week, I take a look at another Jimi Hendrix classic that has been performed by an interesting collection of artists. I believe this edition features more pop artists than any of my prior pieces. A few solo performances and a couple of very original arrangements of this 1967 single from Jimi are below.
