Viva Las Vegas – A Plethora Of Live Music This Week

6 Dec

It’s only Monday and I’m really excited about the music week ahead in Las Vegas.  One of my favorite bands of all time, The Black Crowes, is returning to Las Vegas on Friday evening to play The Joint.  I’ve seen the fellas more than a handful of times live and this one is going to be bittersweet as it’s also part of their farewell tour.  More than anything I’m thrilled about going to a real rock and roll concert filled with two sets of damn good music. This is also a show that I know I’ll be getting there for the opening act as Truth & Salvage Co. will be gracing the stage and they are definitely a band you want to be listening to.

While The Black Crowes are my top music priority for the week in Las Vegas, Passion Pit plays the House of Blues, Temper Trap invades the Hard Rock Café on The Strip and Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds return to Planet Hollywood for two nights of acoustic euphoria. The only damper on the insane week of live music is scheduling and knowing shows overlap and I won’t get to all of them.

Here’s one of my favorite Crowes songs.  Going to miss seeing these guys live.

My Mile High Music Festival: Dave Matthews Band

10 Aug

As we inch a day closer to Mile High Music Festival I can hardly contain myself and wishing for it to be Friday already and boarding a plane to the Rocky Mountains.  The big headliner for MHMF is of course, Dave Matthews Band, and being that the band is taking 2011 off, this is going to be one of the last times to see they boys before their hiatus (let’s just hope this is a one year break and not longer).  The Denver Post put out a great piece on DMB “saving” MHMF and it’s worth a read if you have a few minutes to spare, click here. 

I’m really excited to see DMB because I feel that since the passing of LeRoi Moore the band has come back with a powerful position to play damn good music and leave it all on the stage every night as if they were a new band out to prove themselves.  I was at the show the night that Moore passed away which was such a somber experience and of course not the DMB I had grown to love and like many others, questioned what was going to happen to the band.  Well I was fortunate to see five shows last year and man did the band sound down right awesome and with Tim Reynolds, Jeff Coffin and Rashawn Ross in the mix the shows really captured the DMB spirit again.  So this time, in Denver where DMB has had a cult like following over the past 20 years and released a few live albums, this should be one special performance with everlasting memories.
