Music
Concert notes, set lists and personal impressions fill this category. From the dreamy Americana of Lord Huron to Coldplay’s stadium spectacle and intimate performances at the Dakota jazz club, I share what moved me in the moment.
New Standards at The Dakota
We returned to The Dakota last night after seeing Robyn Hitchcock the night before for The New Standards.
We’ve seen The New Standards play at the Dakota at least six times before, and every time it’s a treat. Last night we got to enjoy the show with our friends Kent and Marilee celebrating Kent’s birthday! That only made it even better. It was also great to hear that the new album is on the way, and by the sound of it the recording was done and it should be coming relatively soon. They seemed to be really on, playing extra well together and having a lot of fun. It was a great show. You really shouldn’t pass up the opportunity to see them, especially at The Dakota.
Coldplay Concert
At Coldplay concert. Floor left, row 35. Noticing all the redundant tech systems in the Coldplay setup.
Daft Punk “Alive” may be one of the best electronica AND best live albums there are.
Girlyman with Edie Carey at City Winery ← That’s us! 😊
