Last Saturday, I saw Van Halen.  Many women were dressed in a very provocative manner.  They may have actually looked good twenty years ago. Other than that, it was entertaining and very loud.

The end.

Saw The Beach Boys with Brian Wilson last night.  Horns, bassist (actually two who switched), four keyboardists at times, drummer, percussionist, five guitarists at times, and Mike Love along with ten other vocal mics on stage.  Four original members and a host of young, talented musicians. To be fair, some of Brian's limited vocals were weak, but the show overall was absolutely stellar.  I went more as an homage to Brian, but I ended up enjoying it to the Nth degree.  Actually welled up in tears during several of the vocal harmony sections. It was great to see those arrangements come to life, and I am more convinced than ever that "Good Vibrations" is the most perfectly constructed pop song I have ever heard.

Too bad John/Lurker wasn't there as he loves singing harmonies.  Probably woud have driven me crazy, sitting next to him. He'd be stacking some arcane harmony on top of everything that was going on.  That wacky guy.

Blimey. How long did they play for, that's some set list.

Saw Doyle Dykes in a church last night about 10 minutes from my house.  Only 25 people there.  I owned some CD's but never thought I'd get a chance to see him.

Didn't feel like playing today. It just shattered me.

I just took a long weekend to see Tommy Emanuel with Martin Taylor in Jacksonville, FL. Felt like burning my guitars after the show.

Then I went up to Atlanta the next night to catch Darrell Scott and Tim O'Brien. The following was taken by the guy with whom i went. Two great solos in this one and some decent dynamics. Now I feel like driving over my guitars several times before burning them. Ridiculous weekend of music.

Tommy Emanuel was here in Largo on Sat. I think. Someone posted tickets for sale on craigslist and I just had no $$$ I bet that was an amazing show brother, I'll catch him next time!!!!

I don't know anyone that could hold his own with Tommy but I also don't know many who could hold their own with you brother!!!However, don't destroy them...give them to a deserving stranger to the south !
Rock On!

I went to see The Eagles the night before last in Jacksonville, Florida.  It was a very good show.  They presented it as a history.  Some good stories and excellent musicianship.  They played some songs that I forgot that I used to like.

I was hoping for a little jamming, but they kept to the formula.  Most of what I heard was straight from the recordings.  With Bernie Leadon, Joe Walsh, and Steuart Smith on guitar, I thought that there was an excellent opportunity for some ripping solos.  Joe Walsh was the only one to briefly deviate from the stock riffs.

Perhaps I am too critical.  Everyone seemed to enjoy the event.  I did.  There were people singing throughout the arena (except for the guy in front of my brother who complained that he had come to hear the band).  We had a great time during the intermission talking to some guys about music and making guitars. 

Good times.
