New Shows: Time To Make Summer Plans

Me, always getting caught up, one of these days I'll stay on top of this, like that one time in 2010.  Maybe I'll even write a review this summer.


Leonard Cohen

Probably the greatest show I've ever seen. Cohen is almost 80 years old, and played for over three hours.  I'm not star struck, but he might be the only person alive I would be speechless to meet (since Frank Zappa is dead). He is the legend of legends.  Set list from his last Rose Garden show here.

Tedeschi Trucks Band 

Oh hey, cool, $25 cheap seats.  You don't see that much at the Schnitz.  Then again, you won't be able to see Derek Trucks guitar fingering that far away, so it's not worth it.

fun.

If you missed out on tickets to their sold out Roseland show next week, you get a second chance. I haven't spent a lot of time listening to this band, but I thought they are radio pop for the youngsters? It will be strange seeing the opera house packed with teenagers.
