LK,
Steve got about an hour. We had to leave early because Mrs. Bear wasn't feeling well -- stuff like that happens when you have to order tickets months in advance -- but thanks to Mr. Winwood we didn't feel bad at all. He ended with a long rave-up on "Gimme Some Lovin'" So glad we made it...
He got to play loud, too. Some big name acts won't let the openers play as loud, but Petty's still a generous guy.
Excellent!! Picked up a mono vinyl of Spencer Davis' Gimme Some Lovin'. Petty's undying respect for Roger McGuinn keeps me a Petty fan. He knows from whence his roots cometh, and doesn't mind admitting it.
Did you see Costner's movie, 'The Postman', with Petty in a minor but pivotal role as a leader of a colony from the future. In the scene where they meet, Costner asks, "aren't you famous?" Petty replies, "I used to be."

Aha that Mr Winwood was responsible for a lot of my Great Music Related memories.
Started when I was 12, I got off the school bus with about 20 others and there he was on his way to the club a gogo in Newcastle. That was when I realised that They're People, and went on to meet Other People from Bolan to Beefheart (hold on, not much of an alphabetical range..) and Zappa.
Took another 35 years to meet my real hero, but I'm always aware that nice Mr Winwood made me believe.
And how great is that song 'can't find my way home' and that Fandango film?
I sound like a granny in a rocking chair
Keep on shining |

Forget the rocking chair, lizzyb. You won't need it as long as you're still rockin'!!!
And 'Can't Find My Way Home' is one of my all time favs. too!!

| Saw the Brian Jonestown Massacre in Barrow-in-Furness on Tuesday night. Outstanding show, but a little on the short side as Anton wasn't feeling well apparently. Nevertheless the best I've seen from them yet! The sound quality was excellent, nice little venue. |

BJM - Antics in London. The tabloids have been having a field day after the Forum gig. A back stage fracas between Anton and Frankie led to Frankie being taken to hospital with cuts to his abdomen and arm. The tabloids(the sun in particular) said that Anton had knifed Frankie! The BJM management issued a statement saying it was just horseplay involving a broken bottle. Read all about it here - http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/bizarre/article1437003.ece

And.......
From The Management & The Record Label Of The Brian Jonestown Massacre
With regards to the incident that took place on Wednesday night 16th July 2008 at the Forum in London, the facts are to the story are:
1) There was no knife or knives involved in any shape or form in this incident
2) The cuts to Frankie Emerson were caused by some glass splinters
3) Frankie Emerson injuries were superficial to his arm & stomach, he was treated at the Royal Free Hospital in London .
4) These injuries were caused by horseplay by the band in their own changing room after the gig.
5) Anton Newcombe was questioned at Kentish Police Station to help the police with their enquiries & was released with no charge or caution .
6) Frankie Emerson did not press any charges on Anton Newcombe .
7) Any comments by anyone within or outside the media to the contrary are completely false .
8.) The band will continue with their successful European tour .
Not that the tabloids are going to pay the slightest attention to that... |

Oooh - Anton was a tad fraught when I saw them, but it was Ricky who was the butt of his temper that night rather than Frankie Teardrop. Being a band on tour seems to rank on stress levels with being on the front line in the armed forces - or a schoolteacher. |

| Leonard Cohen. He made me cry. He also made me think about Arthur and miss him, two years to the day since he died. LC is aged 73, his voice is amazing, he exudes inner calm and seems very much at peace with the world. We, the audience were addressed as "my friends". Music that touches the soul. |

LC is a great man, that appreciates his debt to fans as much as any performer can.....and always lets you know.
He finally found peace after so many years of depression...always described as a gentle man, even during his struggles.
Wish I could have been there, Tina.
trouble comin' everyday.......

Agnostic Mountain Gospel Choir - last night - they were flippin' brilliant!
This is a section of the review from the Nottingham Evening Post written by my pal Mike Atkinson who was there as well.
"In the case of the headliners, a quartet from Calgary that have transplanted so-called “mountain music” from the Appalachians to the Rockies, their music has been informed by Beefheart’s scratchy roughness, the bruised romanticism of Tom Waits, and the energy of good old-fashioned garage rock.
Although frustratingly subdued to start with, the set gradually gained momentum, carrying the increasingly enthusiastic crowd with it. The playing was delightfully loose and instinctive, taking the sparseness of banjo, acoustic guitar and stand-up bass and building something remarkably rich and full upon it.
A dead ringer for Fidel Castro in his prime, bearded, behatted, bespectacled vocalist Judd Palmer saved his coup de grace for the climax, ecstatically riffing on his mouth organ at dizzying speed, as drummer Peter Balkwill pulled out all the stops. It was a suitably thrilling end to a fine display of ensemble playing, from a thoroughly likeable bunch of guys."
Catch them if you can! |
