Follow Shannon on her tour with Astral Weeks Live: A Fan's Notes. Follow Shannon on the Road. Wednesday, March 23, 2011. Peter Wolf fans are getting a treat this month, with Peter on the road for eight shows in 12 days. Dennis and I caught him at the Blue Ocean Music Hall. In Salisbury on Sunday night. Last time we saw him was in May last year up in Portland, Maine, and I suppose that was the last time I gave him a listen. So it was good to dust off Midnight Souvenirs. For starters, then " Lights Out.

Follow Shannon on her tour with Astral Weeks Live: A Fan's Notes. Follow Shannon on the Road. Sunday, November 8, 2009. Van on the Eastern Seabord (Northern Part) - part 4. And said wasn’t that the best show ever, it got me thinking. It’s not the music that’s the problem, it’s my hearing. I suffer from that mp3 disease – where the top and bottom ends drop off. I’m going to be a puddle by the end of this, I just know it. We’ll worry about my hearing later. And the show is about to take off. Is good becaus...

Follow Shannon on her tour with Astral Weeks Live: A Fan's Notes. Follow Shannon on the Road. Wednesday, May 19, 2010. Finally, Peter Wolf in concert. By the time the opening band came onstage, there might have been a hundred of us clustered around the stage. I wish I could remember the act's name - two guys, Morris? As you might imagine, a substantial amount of the set was taken up with material from Midnight Souvenirs. Marimbas and harp when the occasion warranted. The only thing missing was the sa...

Follow Shannon on her tour with Astral Weeks Live: A Fan's Notes. Follow Shannon on the Road. Friday, September 2, 2011. Great big sea 8/26. What an absolute hoot! These guys emanate happy, and it's infectious. You can't help but smile big. I couldn't get any pictures of the band - they were in constant motion and my little camera is never going to get that night shot. I turned my camera on the audience, and this one survived the delete bin, strictly for the arty red shadings in it. Great big sea 8/26.

I was going to skip it, not because I didn't want to see Neil - but last time I saw Neil, in December 2006, I got permanent tinnitus in one ear from all his thrashing around, and I don't think an hour and a half of Le Noise. Taking me back 40 years to high school days. And "Helpless," gently taking me back to Canada more than any song can. It's the...

All week long it's been the same thing - in random acts of kindness, little bits like. Oh darling be home soon. Did you ever have to make up your mind. It's like trying to tell a stranger about rock 'n' roll. Or some other Lovin' Spoonful song. I've been in my little John Sebastian love-fest - ever since Saturday night, when I saw him up at the Tupelo Music Hall. Think Ray Davies and h...

Another great night outdoors at Boarding House Park in Lowell; tonight it's to see Matisyahu. If this is a new name for you, check out this video of One Day. On YouTube. It's one of those ear worm songs that I think everyone has heard by now. He performed it as the closer at tonight's. This guy can definitely sing, and the band, well, it can definitely play. Where to start? Leopard Sk...

Not that I have any Johnny Winter memories to speak of, but judging from the response of the. People in the audience, he was playing to theirs, with their favorites from over the years. Among them were "Red House," "Maybelline," Johnny B. Goode," "Good Morning Little Schoolgirl," "Got My Mojo Working," and two Dylan tunes - "It's All Over Now" and "Highway 61 Revisited.".
