Richie Kotzen. great show.
he played All Along the Watchtower and I'm Losing You (!).
great singing and guitar. beautiful red Telecaster
5 encores lasting for about an hour, he said he had never experienced anything like that before and it's hard not to believe...
very small crowd, no more than 200 people for sure, but how loud we were!

Neil Young

AC/DC - 22nd of february(Ericsson Globe Arena)
Bruce Springsteen - 7th Of June(Stockholm Stadium)

Steve Winwood

Joe Bonamassa

Ernest and the Hemingways (a local Coverband with a very good horn section who does mainly Blues Brothers stuff but also Santana, Chicago, Spencer Davis, James Brown, Frank Sinatra, you name it...).

Nobody, although I did make it to Jazz Fest to see Zachary Richard.

standout acts i've seen in 2009:-

Justin Townes Earle (January)

Neil Young (June)

The Pretty Things (June)

The Specials (May & November)

Live act of the year???..... The Specials.

Their comeback, to celebrate their 30th anniversary, was a wonderful joyous occasion.....they blew the roof of the UK and Europe during the Spring & Summer...and for good measure are doing it again, this autumn/winter.

The most exciting and relevant band, with the most important and relevant lyrics out on the circuit...they were needed and they answered the call.

Enjoy yourself - it's later than you think.

Clapton Winwood
U2
The Dead
Citizen Cope

Mott The Hoople
Neil Young
Crosby Stills & Nash
Van Morrison performing Astral Weeks
The Fleet Foxes - twice
Los Lobos
Yusuf (Cat Stevens)
Bat For Lashes (twice)
Brian Wilson
Hawkwind
Smokey Robinson
Jeff Beck
School Of Seven Bells
Amadou & Mariam with David Gilmour
The Pretty Things
The Soundtrack Of Our Lives
