Another Allman Brothers Band concert, this time at the Beacon Theatre on a Sunday night in March, 1998. Thankfully Tedeschi Trucks Band and Warren Haynes remain on the boards to carry on the Allman Brothers Band legacy, both musically and spiritually. My wife and I saw The Brothers at Madison Square Garden right before the world shut down for the pandemic and the music stopped for a time.
I just went to see Arcade Fire with my daughter at the new MGM Fenway venue that was very cool and that reminded me a little of Terminal 5 in NYC, but other than that show, the winter live music schedule for me has been light thus far. My guess is the bigger established acts are going to gear up for the summer shed scene; Foreigner’s Farewell tour and Pink’s stadium shows have just gone on sale. I should not fail to mention Taylor Swift, who undoubtedly is the biggest music star on the planet at the moment (Marcus Mumford played one of her tunes as an encore at the Beacon Theatre); Swift’s stadium presale crashed the Ticketmaster site this week. Ticketmaster crashing is a sure sign that live music is still alive and well, but maybe just not quite as we remember it.

Done Somebody Wrong

Rock on!
