Steely Dan at the WAMU Theater, Seattle WA, 7-2-11. This was the first leg of their tour. If you get a chance to see them, DO IT! http://steelydan.com/ They played for about 2 1/2 hours. It was a great show and the band is really, really tight. Everyone a great musician. Lots of songs from Aja and throughout their catelog--some new and lots of older songs.

Neko Case at the Bing Crosby Theater in Spokane, July 7. Not only does she have a great voice, she has tons of personality. Great show!

Primus at Hard Rock Live 6/4 Orlando Florida, with the Dead Kenny Gs opening.

Absolutely the worst show I have ever seen- avoid at all costs.

I have a pair of 4th row seats for one of their shows in Boston in September. Good to hear that they still put on a good show and play for a good amount of time.

I'll try and take some pics and post when the time comes.

George,
color me green with envy for 4th row. My seats were in the 14th row--not bad, but not the 4th.

Eddie Vedder and Glen Hansard at the Arlene Snitzer concert hall in Portland Oregon. Absolutly phenomanal. Both musicians were top notch! Eddie and Glen did a unpluged version of sleepless nights on the front of the stage. Also preformed was a rare singing of Arc. Wounderful acoustics.

Last Saturday, July 23rd, The Feelies at Brooklyn's Prospect Park. They were f**king awesome live, much better than their albums. You don't get the energy from their albums like you do when you hear and see them live. Here Before is their first album in almost 19 years.

Caught Hot Tuna last night,what a show!! Jorma and Jack still loving what they do. Barry Mitterhoff is a great addition on mandolin. I spoke with them before the show, very pleasant guys.

Newport folk fest last Saturday. It was sunny and wonderful. Gotta love Colin Meloy and the Decemberists.

I got to see The Marshall Tucker Band (who I've seen before many years back) & Little Feat (who I've never seen before) last night at the NTCB Theater at Westbury.

From what I can tell, Doug Gray (lead vocalist) was the only original member of Marshall Tucker that's still with the band. Of course, it would be hard for some of the other founding members (e.g.: Toy & Tommy Caldwell and George McCorkle) to be there, because they've passed away long ago.

Anyway... musically the current lineup still plays great, but unfortunately Gray's vocals are (to be very kind) limited at best. He's still a very engaging "front man", but his voice is shot! The guitar work by both Rick Willis and guest (Outlaws & former MTB member) Chris Hicks was smokin'. Sax & flute (keyboards too) man, Marcus James Henderson was superb on the woodwinds! He undoubtedly livened things up. MTB was a little "rough around the edges" at times, but all in all they kept my foot tappin'!

Moving on to Little Feat; who was the headliner last night. With the exception of one founding member (Bill Payne) the band consists of various bandmates who've joined 'Feat over the years. Payne heads an extremely talented group, who are very well rehearsed. The variations between electric and acoustic guitar, along with some mandolin mixed in kept things interesting. A welcomed surprise (to me at least) was Fred Tackett. Yes, his guitar and mandolin playing was wonderful - but his trumpet work was what I really loved. I wished he played it more than the one song he showcased it on. Considering that I am not a "dyed-in-the-wool" Feat fan, I enjoyed their set more than I would've originally thought.

Overall, a fun night.
