  • A guest 20% for Jackson Browne · Tue, 12 Aug 2025

    He was awful. Dreary political songs until the last 4 or 5 songs. He knew he was a bummer and even admitted it. If your going to tour like that don’t bother taking people’s money. Stay home. You’re not as cool as you think you are Jackson!
    Too bad he still has a good voice.

  • A guest 80% for Burnt Sugar the Arkestra Chamber · Sat, 29 Feb 2020

    Amazing show. I was there. They did an amazing job re interpreting the music of Shaft. And Greg Tate led the orchestra. ABBY DOBSON was one of the background singers . The thought of Covid was hanging over everybody’s head though. I remember that. it was only a week or two longer before everything wAs shut down. Amazing time. Amazing time. Big respect for the memory of Greg Tate.

    Great night of some rarely played songs. The boys were in top form, also loved the 3 acoustic songs to open the show.

  • A guest 40% for Ben Howard · Mon, 28 Sep 2015

    I came from Montreal just to see the show but left feeling like the venue was too big for the kind of show they gave.
    Ben was barely blurring the lyrics out; Couldn't even hear India; the sound was not great at Radio City. I have definitely seen better graphics and light-enhanced shows at way smaller theatres. Most importantly, I can understand why, but I definitely didn't like that Ben would take "The fear" and turn it into a dark-noisy song. I love the fact that "I forget where we were" is a completely different sound than "Every Kingdom" and I think they achieved that brilliantly (Thanks also to Chris, or well both B Brothers), but why does he feel he should go back on his tracks and try to turn it around for the previous songs. I miss Chris but maybe Ben should just move forward with developing his sound whichever direction he is aiming for, but you won't get there by going back. "Every Kingdom" songs and all the songs in the EPs he released before were magical the way they were just as all the songs in "I forget where we were" are in their own way. His talents shine through them all but at the show I didn't see it. I feel sad because I have felt more excited about his shows watching the Youtube videos, than the one I actually got to go to.
    Ultimately, I understand if he is not the warmest person, but he sure could have at least greeted the crowd. He was just too cold for someone working in entertainment and I know he can crack silly jokes or funny sarcastic comments which would have been great. He just didn't look happy to be there. He's human I know, but it's part of the job as he knows by now. All together, Radio City hall was too big for such small AND SHORT show. I just wish I could go back in time and catch him at a small open mic kind of show. I'm sure he gave more back in those days.

  • A guest 100% for The Orb · Fri, 11 Sep 2015

    The songs and visuals played seamlessly together while older songs were re-imagined. 1 of my all time fav bands and still their sounds send shivers down my spine.

  • Larry A was there 100% for U2 · Wed, 22 Jul 2015

    Great show technologically speaking. The band sounds as great as ever! Jimmy Fallon and The Roots as surprise guests was an added plus as well.
