Surprise Desire In The Plaza

When the news reached the ears of the hottest band in the world, U2, a plan was hatched. The plan was to throw a free concert for financial folks in a cool city. Bono called it the “Save the Yuppies” concert. A snarky take on the lost souls who got their comeuppance when the bloated stock market blew up.

New Music: Country Rockers, Cool Hipsters and A Singing Cowboy All Walk Into A Bar

I will buy an album without hearing even one note. Basically if a solid favorite of mine releases something new, I am getting it. No matter what! Thus was the case with these three recent acquisitions. From an old favorite to few of my, surprisingly, new obsessions, these three are a nice snapshot halfway through 2024. Enjoy the new reviews!

Rockers Unplug and Raise $$ For Kid’s Cancer Benefit

This was one of those nights that I wish I could re-live. Join me as I do..  It was jam packed with amazing moments. Luckily, many of the 1100 people at the FIllmore had their phones out, recording the once-in-a-lifetime moments. Including me!

Guaranteed Fire Whenever Y & T Come Home

Being a local band, Y & T has some longtime fans in the Bay Area and any show in the area brings a good sized, veteran crowd.  Meniketti always says how happy he is to be home! The lovefest was in full bloom at the Fillmore. The setlist had all the bangers on it. It was a great night!

Praise and Passion: An Evening with Santana at the Fillmore

In a band like Santana, there are multiple drummers, multiple lead singers but only ONE lead guitarist. Of course, like everyone else in the place, I was mesmerized by Mr. Santana. His hands and fingers touch that fretboard ever so lightly and just the littlest bend in his finger elicits a wail from that instrument that sounds like a soaring eagle.

How The Steve Miller Band Kept On a Rockin’ Me BABY!

In 2008, during a quiet period without new studio albums, Steve Miller performed in San Francisco, joined by notable musicians like Al Jardine. There, inspired, he planned his cover album 'Bingo.' Remembering harmonica player Norton Buffalo, who died in 2009, and recounting buying a sitar-guitar in 1965, Miller's show was complemented by a Scrojo poster, capturing the concert's essence.
