The Police, Vancouver, B.C., May 27, 2007
Like many others, I waited a long time for this show. I just missed seeing The Police at the tail end of their original incarnation.
Recollections
The Jayhawks, Seattle, WA, March 31, 2024
Going to see The Jayhawks is like catching up with old friends. Since discovering them with Hollywood Town Hall (American, 1992), their songs have been part of my life's soundtrack.
Yo La Tengo, New York, NY, February 29, 2000
This was a slow, quiet show in support of And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out, a slow, quiet record...

Dr. Lonnie Smith, New York, NY, January 11, 2012 (early set)
This recording is from my personal archive. There is some room noise in the quieter spots - the sound of dishes clanking and such, but it is more than worth a listen.
