This evening, Fuse debuts an hour-long program featuring highlights from SPIN’s 25th Anniversary Concert Series, which took place earlier this year in New York City. Tune in at 9PM EST
When you listen to a record like Push, it’s almost like you’re feeling the live show right through the headphones. Definitely a band with a positive outlook, 40 Watt Hype is a rare breed of instrumental hip-hop soul and the Latin influence that is rooted within the music only gives off more energy.
The Allman Brothers concluded their short autumn tour of theatres with three sold out shows at The Orpheum in Boston that simultaneously re-affirmed their own passion for their music and justified the loyalty of their fan base.

This year’s batch of live concert DVD releases was more about quality than quantity. While there weren’t dozens of releases from the bands we love like last year, the DVDs that did come out make up for the lack of numbers. For this week’s B List, I continue a long-standing tradition of detailing my favorite concert DVDs of the year. I’ve included a taste of these releases, except the Avett’s DVD, so you can get a feel for these outstanding videos.
10. Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band – London Calling
If 2009 was indeed the last year for the E Street Band, what a year it was.

As you’ve probably inferred from the title, the DVD contains a scorching cover of London Calling by The Clash that starts this release out right.

For your weekly hour’s worth of music, you’ll first be listening to The Frames, the Irish band celebrating their 20th year of existence. From there, we cruise over to the soulful sounds of J.J. Grey & Mofro for a track from their 2010 record. Mike Gordon, who was recently singing the praises of J.J. Grey, contributes four tracks from his show in Maine where he was joined by Phish drummer Jon Fishman. And we close it out with a recent Robert Hunter penned tune from New Riders Of The Purple Sage. Hope you enjoy it.
