For sure, I've never heard of him.

One of his many gems..

Saw them a couple of times too. They were a really fun live band. Met them all too. They were all incredibly nice.

I would bet most of the people here would recognize Rob's guitar partner in The Bears; Adrian Belew.
Rob plays a poppy style of music with the odd bit of stunt guitar and lyrics bouncing between dark and humorous. You can check Rob out on bandcamp.

He won't be playing any more gigs, but the nicest "rock star" I ever met was Gregg Allman. Just a regular guy.
EDIT: met him Daytona visiting his Mom a long time ago. I was roady - ing and had a few drinks with him.

Neither have I, but just seen this, so if he's been playing with Adrian Belew worth digging out his music

Saw a jam band double bill of Dogs In A Pile and Pigeons Playing Ping Pong on Saturday. Hadn’t heard anything from either of the bands (but have heard *of* them) and had a blast.

And was reminded to post here as I just nabbed tickets (after a harrowing battle with AXS who kept telling me my “session expired” over and over and over) for King Gizzard at Red Rocks. 3 shows! One on Sunday the 8th of September, and two (one at 1:30 PM, and one at 8 PM) on Monday the 9th of September. Apparently they did this earlier this year, and debuted a new album for those holding the two show pass, as you couldn’t leave if you had the two show pass. Here’s hoping they do that again!

The Pineapple Thief has just announced a European tour. I will be in Amsterdam on 24-02-2024.

When attendees of live concerts exhibit disparate expectations and behaviors, it can be quite annoying. Attendees' overall experience may be impacted by the audience's dynamics, particularly in places like casinos. Seeing Night Ranger up front should provide you with a more concentrated and immersive experience, possibly reducing the disturbances brought on by audience movement. Attending a concert is an individual experience, and it can be difficult to strike a balance between your own enjoyment and the energy of the crowd as a whole.

I saw Night Ranger a couple months ago...they came to my little town (3500 people) and 6500 people showed up for the outdoor show. I was near the stage and they were simply amazing. So much talent, and vocally, still spot on.

Billy Cobham tonight in Madrid. ……A legend

 

[JoshBasswood]

We had two brilliant nights with Marillion here in Utrecht last week. Brilliant venue that we are so lucky to have within crawling distance of our home. Never counted, but I’ve seen Marillion live about 50 times, I guess. Never lets you down!

The one and only, the legend, Sir McCartney, last night...
What a fucking unbelievable experience. The setlist is brutal, the lightning and audio experience is awesome, the musicianship is there...

Does The Met Live in HD count? (I mean...it was "live," if not live.) Anyway, I saw today's live broadcast of Anthony Davis's landmark opera X: The Life and Times of Malcolm X at my local theater. As much as I like Davis as a jazz composer, I'm not that wild about this score--you can buy a surround recording of it on the BMOP Sound label--though I can't help respecting its wide-ranging ambition. And it's an important work, for all sorts of reasons. I thought I might like the piece more if I saw a full-blown production, but it didn't really click for me on the level of drama or storytelling or characterization, either. On the level of spectacle, though, it was truly brilliant: production design, staging, costuming, and choreography were all great. And some terrific performances, too, starting with the orchestra and jazz combo under the director of Kazem Abdullah and--a standout--Victor Ryan Robinson in the dual role of Elijah/Street.
