Very cool to see and hear the Dead on Tour again. XM/Sirius Radio is broadcasting selected shows live which is very cool. Check them out here http://www.xmradio.com/onxm/channelpage.xmc?ch=57

Neko Case

noreply@blogger.com (Stick) — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 18:37:00 +0000

Finally got to see Neko Case. She and her band played at the National in Richmond, Va Monday April 6th, Merle Haggard's Birthday. Honestly was an ok show. Had lots of audio problems where they had to start and stop a lot and it got frustrating. But the girl (pictured here, not by me) they wouldn't let you take pictures, although I thought about it, can sing. If she comes close I would consider seeing her again, but it's the last time i will travel to see her. Still I was happy to see this songbird play.

Blue Highway played to a sold out crowd at the Court Square Theater in Harrisonburg, VA Friday March 13th. I've seen this band at the now defunked Prism in Charlottesville, VA and at Merlefest a couple of time in North Carlolina. One of the suprise songs of the night was an impromptude Merle Haggard's "All My Friends Are Gonna Be Strangers".

I'd say out of all the thousands of bluegrass band out there, Blue Highway is my favorite and it was so cool to see them in my old home town.

Willie and the Wheel in Roanoke, VA

noreply@blogger.com (Stick) — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 23:19:00 +0000

Well not feeling that good yesterday I was happy I was going to see Willie and the Wheel in Roanoke, VA but dreading the whole night.....but man was I wrong. What a concert. Asleep at the Wheel had a 10 piece band setup and played Western Swing like it was meant to be played. They did their own 40 minute set and then "The Man" Willie step on stage and away we went through a night of Willie standards back by one of the best bands of all time. Just a great flow of music, the crowd was into it and by the pictures you see I was able to get up and walk around the auditorium and dance and move and such. Talked to some of Wilie's people and they said that they are going to Austin City Limits to do a taping and then stopping the tour. But he said that Willie is having so much fun that they plan maybe to go out in the summer with this tour. The only down part was I was 2 inches away from getting Willie's autograph on a poster but I was just too late, I was pissed at myself. But a great show and I hope they play close again in the summer. Here is the Roanoke's paper review of the show. I think I did pretty good on pictures. Here is the set list:

Finally I get to see the Drive By Truckers. They were in Richmond last night at the National in Richmond, VA . Showed up for the show without a ticket and it was SOLD OUT! But I got there early and ended up with a ticket in about 15 minutes.
Great show completly packed and they played for 2 1/2 hours. My God they are loud, but one of the best Bands I have seen in a long long time. I will go back to see this band.

Merle Haggard played the West Virginia State Fair in Lewisburg, WV 8/8/08. First pict is that of sound check that we got there for which I have never seen. Merle played about 65 min. Merle looked happy and healthy as he has his son Ben play lead guitar for his band and his wife Teresa singing background. Great show.

Last time Merle played at the West Virginia State Fair he played a 2 hour late set, unheard of at a Haggard show, but he seemed to really enjoy the crowd. Merle and the Strangers will play one show a 8 pm in Lewisburg Friday August 8th.
