Coincidentally, the first Beach Boys album, Surfin' Safari, was released just a few days earlier, on October 1, 1962.

Just for the hell of it, I decided to check ticket availability for the Oct. 4 show at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, and was both saddened and surprised to discover that the majority of the floor seats and the lower bowl seats remain unsold. Most of those lower bowl seats are selling at a perfectly reasonable $80, so it appears that the prices have already been dropped at least once. They'

QuoteJavadave If the COVID pandemic is his main concern, President Biden has stated this week that the pandemic is over. As far as the concert industry and the vast majority of touring musicians are concerned, the pandemic was over by the summer of last year. There's got to be something going on with Neil that's preventing him from being able to play live, and I don't think

He did a fine version of "A Hard Day's Night," a song that must already have seemed like a bit of an "oldie" when he recorded it in October 1965.

QuoteRollingFreak I was surprised he played so many Winwood songs instead. Just cause thats where the money is? It just makes for a better show, though I suppose it does begin to stretch the limits of credulity when he plays Blind Faith's "Can't Find My Way Home."

QuoteElmo Lewis Great band. Kenny = Wow! In the old country tradition, he always meets/signs with fans after the show (no charge). He gave me a nice big "Hello!" when he saw my Byrds t-shirt, when I spotted him walking around Akron, Ohio on the day of the Sweetheart of the Rodeo show.

They were great backing up McGuinn and Hillman on the Sweetheart of the Rodeo 50th anniversary tour a few years ago. One of the best moments of the show was when Marty and the boys did their own song, "Time Don't Wait" while Roger and Chris were taking a little break. This version even includes a little bit of an "Eight Miles High" teaser right at the beginning.

Peak Stills. Not enough Neil. "The Hour of Not Quite Rain" is one of the best tracks Richie ever recorded.

QuoteWorriedAboutYou I can't remember a year when this story didn't roll around. It's become as predictable as the annual statement from Jimmy Page, in which he declares that he's about to release new music, and will "be seen to be playing live."

Interestingly, Roger Waters plays this very same arena in a couple of days, and there seem to be a lot of tickets still available for that one. It looks like the upper bowl was never even put on sale.

$400 for nosebleed seats? Oh, well. Joe's doing this for charity, so maybe it'll be live-streamed for a small fee? Alternatively, I guess I could just mail my check directly to VetsAid and cut out the middleman (that would be Joe) altogether.

I like the "Yeah, Yeah" yelping at the start of the second version. It harkens back to the call and response of "Hey Hey, You You" on "Get Off of My Cloud." They should have put it on the record.

I enjoyed seeing them on their 2006 reunion tour. I haven't been to a large arena gig in several years, and I'd have to make a four-hour drive to get to this one, but who knows, I just might be up for it. Here they are, at The Beacon Theater in New York in 2006.

Quote24FPS Feel blessed to have seen of her last full shows, back in '98 in Los Angeles. Dylan opened, Joni was the middle, and Van Morrison closed. They switched the lineup at other gigs. I had front row in Detroit. No Van that night, just Bob and Joni. Fantastic show in a half-filled hockey arena, and only $45 for front row! She toured again a couple of years later, in 2000, but I think

They satisfied an early 70s demand for a CSN style of music that the actual CSN were usually unable to fulfill because they were too busy arguing amongst themselves to spend very much time making records. Btw, which one was Seals? The one with the hat, right? Never could tell them apart.
