Adam Posted March 20, 2006 Author Report Posted March 20, 2006 Well, thus far I saw the Wayne Shorter Tribute Band on Wednesday, the Braxton 12+1Tet on Friday at 8, and Billy Bang Sextet including special guest James Spaulding on Friday at 10. I highly recommend the Bang band - they are playing there again tonight, and they don't really seem to be listed anywhere. I learned about it from the person at the next seat over at the Braxton show. I've enjoyed them all! Now let's see if I can fit in Roy Haynes and/or the Stone and/or this big fundraiser event at Tonic on Monday. Adam, in case you didn't know our own Muchael Weiss is playing tonight with Peter Bernstein at The Kitano. I'll be at the 9:45 set. The Kitano I probably should have tried to see that. Sorry Michael. But I was out, then I raced to catch the 11:00 Roy Haynes set at the VV, but it was sold out and I couldn't get in. So I walked to Small's and saw Frank Wess & Eddie Locke. That too was crowded, and I was in the back. Very nice, but not my first choice. But good to see another jazz great. Which means Ned, that I was actually at Small's at 1 am when you and cohorts were all entering with instrumnets. And I was too tired to stick around. I'm sorry - I'm a wimp. But I had to save energy for the Pogues last night. And I needed all the energy that I could get for that show. Quote
Adam Posted March 23, 2006 Author Report Posted March 23, 2006 Ah, the Pogues were great, and with people moshin & fightin' in the pit, and a packed house...They burned through everything. All these songs in about 1 hour 45 minutes. I had no previous familiarity with Star of the County Down. The set list: Streams Of Whiskey If I Should Fall From Grace With God Broad Majestic Shannon Turkish Song of the Damned Young Ned Pair of Brown Eyes Boys from County Hell White City Tuesday Morning Old Main Drag Sayonara Repeal of the Licensing Laws Sunny Side of the Street Body of an American Lullaby of London Thousands are Sailing Dirty Old Town Bottle of Smoke The Sick Bed Of Cuchulainn First Encore - Sally MacLennane A Rainy Night in Soho Irish Rover Second Encore - Star of the County Down Fairytale Fiesta Quote
