Saw Progressive Rock band Pavlov's Dog last night at the Corner Hotel in Melbourne, Australia. They are on their 50th Anniversary tour.
The band were in good form playing to a capacity audience and the average age of those there must have been somewhere between 60 and 80!
A review of the concert said as follows "After half a century of myth and missed opportunities, Pavlov’s Dog finally took to the stage in Melbourne, and the payoff was magnificent. The Corner Hotel was full to capacity, every inch of floor space heaving with long-time fans, and a few young’uns curious to see why this band has inspired such lasting devotion. The headline read “50th Anniversary Tour”, and the sense in the room was that history had finally arrived."
Last night went to see “… And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead” at Max Watts in Melbourne, Australia. An excellent concert focusing on their most highly regarded album "Source Tags & Codes".
Saw Christone "Kingfish" Ingram at the Forum Melbourne last night. He played for two hours in one of the best concerts I have seen in the last few years. He is undoubtedly one of the best, if not the best, blues guitarist of his generation.
Last weekend I got to see Ryosuke Kiyasu twice! Saturday in Buffalo, Sunday in Rochester. If you’re not familiar there are lots of YouTube videos, but basically he brings a snare drum and microphone, and asks the venue to provide a folding table, and then he just plays… everything.
Both nights were amazing but I think I liked Rochester better. It’s a viral video thing so people tend to watch through their phones, and that was definitely more in Buffalo than Rochester. I took a couple pictures before and after and resisted the urge, but I did bring my digital audio recorder the second night.
The one time I was most tempted to film was when the person in front of me was filming the screen of the person in front of him…

You can see from the second photo that there is good reason why the venue is called the Forum with its pseudo Roman construction!
