Radiohead on Click!

2008-05-09 17:58:54 by Sean Piccoli in Notes on Music | Sun-Sentinel Blogs
 
...band in concert Below that, he's posted photos from his recent field trip to Jazzfest in New Orleans. Out of sheer jealously I'd call it a junket, except that he went on his own dime just to enjoy himself and snap a few pictures

2008-05-07 18:32:46 by Sean Piccoli in Notes on Music | Sun-Sentinel Blogs
...music. But for me, on a brief trek across the lawn about eight songs into Radiohead's set, the band felt farther away than bands playing Cruzan usually do.

The Yarling Report: Eric Clapton at Hard Rock Live

2008-05-07 16:17:34 by Sean Piccoli in Notes on Music | Sun-Sentinel Blogs
 
...band returned and stayed mostly acoustic for Wonderful Tonight . Of course, Bramhall and Clapton traded back and forth on Layla , switching parts at times, with Bramhall playing slide. Everyone in the crowd was up on their feet at the first notes of Cocaine , and they stayed up for the encore: pedal-steel guitarist Robert Randolph sitting in...

Springsteen set list, 5/2, BankAtlantic Center, Sunrise

2008-05-03 23:15:33 by Sean Piccoli in Notes on Music | Sun-Sentinel Blogs
 
Review posted here . Also, note the remarks about poor sound in the comments section. These follow scathing criticism of the mix when Van Halen played the same building in February . But then, sound was an issue at several stops on the Van Halen tour, whereas I can't remember ever hearing a complaint before now about audio at a Springsteen show...

Spoon, the overdue concert review

2008-04-28 20:44:03 by Sean Piccoli in Notes on Music | Sun-Sentinel Blogs
 
...musical tailoring a fashion sense. One element of style is reference letting the song tell the listener who the songwriters admire and whose labels they would gladly wear.

...music critic Jim Abbott, who later interviewed McGuinn Again, I don't know that Springsteen will spring anybody on Friday night at BankAtlantic Center. Of the four times I've seen him in South Florida, he's done it twice, so that's a 50/50 chance at best. But I'm just sayin

Time to ditch "Swanee River," or just reroute it?

2008-04-21 18:31:58 by Sean Piccoli in Notes on Music | Sun-Sentinel Blogs
 
...music teacher who wrote the winning song The original lyric, with Foster's approximation of 19th Century negro dialect , is not something to be sung at public, celebratory functions such as inaugurals. And, indeed, it already undergoes a lot of cleanup when it's been sung in recent years at state functions, although I respect Crist's decision...
