2 Nights on the Road in Virginia with Merle Haggard and Jamey Johnson

2010-07-28T16:50:00.000-07:00

Friday July 23rd in Richmond, Va at the National Theater was Merle Haggard and the Strangers. Merle looked and sounded good. His band the Strangers was missing Don Markam and Biff Adams. I don't know if they are not touring anymore or just taking some time off. But Merle and the Band sounded great although Merle was on stage for 65 min. Some of the Songs he played was "That's the way love goes", "Mama Tried", "Okie" and many others including his last song from his new album "I am what i am" while he sat on a stool for the final.

The next night in Lynchburg, VA at Cattle Annies was Jamey Johnson and his band. Now i have been to many of concerts but I have never seen a county music show go over 3 hours without stopping in which Jamey and band did. The Grateful Dead yes, but a county rock show, never. He just kept playing and playing. He was 3 hours in and we were and hour and half away from home so we had to leave and the guy was still playing. Played all of his hits but the impressive thing about him was he played TONS of classic county. From Waylon, 4 Merle songs, George, Vern Gosdin, and some Patsy Cline. The guy just puts on a hell of a show.

Here are some picts of those two nights.

Neko Case

2009-04-08T11:37:00.000-07:00

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

2009-02-18T15:19:00.000-08:00

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:
