On today’s agenda: #NeilYoung and #CrazyHorse in Rotterdam circa 2001 via the #NeilYoungArchives. It’s a true cacophony of zen. #livemusicisbetter
Another #BruceSpringsteen picture from Greensboro. #concert #livemusicisbetter
Another shot of #BruceSpringsteen and the #EStreetBand in Greensboro last night. #concert #concertphoto #livemusicisbetter
Tonight in Greensboro… #brucespringsteen #springsteen
Our view of the stage. (Springsteen in Greensboro.)
Seeing #BruceSpringsteen and the E Street Band tonight in North Carolina. I have many conflicting thoughts about the TM monolith that turned buying tickets for this show into a hellacious experience, but as I wrote (link in bio) after seeing Bruce and band in Philly in '16, "the young 30-something who released The River and the young fans who first embraced it would likely laugh at the idea that, 35 years on, they’re still spirits in the night, albeit just for the night." (It's now 43 years on, but who's counting?)
Five years ago, Diane and I saw #CourtneyMarieAndrews in concert at at a now-defunct club in South Philly called the Boot & Saddle. There, on a stage that didn’t have a proper exit, Courtney and her crack band integrated country, rock, folk, R&B and gospel into a sonic whole that echoed both the ages and the soul. I wrote about it on my blog, of course - to read my review, click on the link in my bio. (FYI, the “Stax-like song” that blew us away is the still-unreleased “Warning Sign.” I still kick myself for not recording it.) #concert #concertmemories #livemusicisbetter
Here’s the cover of #Newsweek from March 23, 1970. Seven years ago, I featured it, #breakfastattiffanys (one of my favorite films), the Amazon series #GoodGirlsRevolt and the March 1970 pop charts in a #blogpost (available via the link in my bio).
