A Week Of Rock: Jon, Stones, and Airbourne
Friday, April 4th, 2008
Man, I’m beat today. Poor sleeping, long days, and lots of rock. Last Saturday I had a chance to see Jon Anderson from Yes at the Music Hall. I was really surprised at how much I enjoyed the show. Jon played a solid mix of solo and Yes songs, and he was in fantastic voice. I’m looking forward to checking out Yes when they return to town in July, and hope the muscle of the band won’t overwhelm his voice. Then there was the Rolling Stones movie “Shine A Light” this past Wednesday night, which you can read my review of in the previous post.
Keeping nusy meant I didn’t have a chance to got through the ton of music waiting for me - new offerings from the Raconteurs, Muse (live), Panic At The Disco, Dream Theatre (hit collection), and R.E.M. I’ll try and post my review for ”Accelerate” over the weekend; it’s definitely worth a listen.
Tomorrow (Saturday) Samantha and I will chat with the guys in Airbourne prior to their sold out gig at the Mod Club. You’ll be able to catch that on the Jack Nation Countdown TV Show (Saturday afternoons at 4 on City TV) coming up in a few weeks. If you haven’t had a chance to see what these guys look like, check out the video below (you can also use the band’s name as this weekend’s bonus code). Jeff and Carly had a phone interview with the band’s frontman Joel O’keefe and he was frakin’ funny. I can’t wait to see what he’ll be like in front of a tv camera. I’ll let you know.
Have an excellent weekend!
