Rolling Stones Welcome Brad Paisley For "Dead Flowers" In Philly

Wed, 19 Jun 2013 06:30:00 -0700

PAISLEY DUETS WITH JAGGER ON STICKY FINGERS TUNE
AT WELLS FARGO CENTER IN CITY OF BROTHERLY LOVE

The Rolling Stones' 50 and Counting World Tour continued last night at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. Following the tour's trend of a special guest each night - in addition to the other nightly guests of Mick Taylor and a choir - the Stones welcomed country rocker Brad Paisley to sit in with them.

Paisley emerged six songs into The Rolling Stones' set for a take on "Dead Flowers" off of Sticky Fingers. The country star shared vocals with Mick Jagger on "Dead Flowers" and also strummed an electric guitar. Brad's vocals fit the song nicely and overall it stands as one of the best guest spots of the many on the tour this far.

Nightly Stones guest Mick Taylor performed on "Midnight Rambler" and "(I Can't Go No) Satisfaction" as has become tradition on the tour. For the first encore, The Crossing Choir helped out on "You Can't Always Get What You Want."

Wed, 19 Jun 2013 05:30:00 -0700

THE WARREN HAYNES-LED GARCIA TRIBUTE KICKS OFF AT HEINZ HALL

The first Jerry Garcia Symphonic Celebration featuring Warren Haynes took place last night at Heinz Hall in Pittsburgh. Haynes teamed up with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, bassist Lincoln Schleifer, drummer Jeff Sipe and vocalists Alecia Chakour and Jasmine Muhammad to deliver two sets filled with orchestral versions of Jerry Garcia's finest songs.

The show featured songs from throughout the Grateful Dead's 30-year career reaching back to the '60s for "Dark Star" all the way up to "Days Between," which the Dead debuted towards the end of their run in 1993. Also included was a drum interlude which gave former ARU drummer Jeff Sipe a chance to shine and duet with the PSO's timpanist.

For the encore, Haynes dipped into his own repertoire for "Patchwork Quilt" - a song that he wrote as a tribute to Garcia whom he never had the opportunity to meet. Warren had previously performed "Patchwork Quilt" with many of the projects he's been involved with including Phil Lesh & Friends and The Dead.

Setlist:

Set One: Dark Star, Bird Song, Crazy Fingers, Scarlet Begonias, Shakedown Street, China Cat Sunflower, Morning Dew

Set Two: Mission In The Rain interlude > High Time, Uncle John's Band, West L.A. Fadeaway, Days Between, Drum Interlude, Terrapin Station > Slipknot! interlude > Terrapin Station

Encore: Patchwork Quilt, China Doll

Day 3 :: Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival :: 6.13.13 :: Manchester, TN

Full Review Below Gallery!

6/15/13 - Day 3 @ Bonnaroo (Manchester, TN) View Photos

The third day of the 2013 Bonnaroo music festival heated up early under hot clear skies, with little remaining of the gusty winds that prevailed during the first two days. By afternoon, hordes of music fans were looking for wet relief anywhere they could find it. Long lines snaked around the festival for the cherished air conditioned venues, including the comedy tent, cinema tent, and the Ford Fiesta Garage, which featured bonus sets all day long, from bands playing the festival. The Bonnarro fountain was filled to capacity with naked bodies. A giant water slide attracted a long line of daredevils that slid, surfed and cartwheeled down the steep slippery slope. Nearby others lined up for a deluxe slip and slide ride. Overlooking the water world of wonder, were sand volley ball courts, packed with players, seemingly oblivious to the 11 stages of music around them. But while thousands relaxed and soaked up the sunny day, tens of thousands of others were circulating back and forth amongst the stages, looking a bit like worker ants from competing colonies. Day 3 was full of eclectic moody music form across the globe. If there was any one theme for the day it was collaboration. There were so many impromptu jams from the early afternoon to the pre dawn hours, it was impossible to keep track of them. Some of the highlights included: The Lumineers, who seemed to be channeling the spirit of the canceled headliners of the day Mumford and Sons, played multiple sets. They played as surprise guests with traditional music favorites Ed Helms' Lonesome Trio, as part of Helms' Whiskey Sour Radio Hour at the Comedy tent. While The Lumineers were on the massive Which Stage, Portugal The Man played a unique impromptu jam in front of the fountain. (I am still not sure why there was a giant question mark above the Which stage, when the largest main stage was called the What stage, just another ROO mystery I guess.) Afterward when Portugal The Man took their turn on the Which stage, they were joined by a most unusual guest, Weird Al Yankovic for the song “So American”. Jack Johnson, who had come to Bonnaroo just to be a surprise guest the first night, for his long time friends ALO, ended up taking over the headline set for the canceled Mumford And Sons. It was hard to tell how many in the immense crowd had come expecting to hear Mumford And Sons. Some of them may have been disappointed but many more music fans seemed to be thrilled with the choice. Johnson's career has appeared to parallel with the success of Bonnaroo. He made his first appearance during the premiere of Bonnaroo in 2002. He played the main Which Stage in 2005, before returning as the headliner in 2008. He also did a memorable acoustic jam with his long time friend Eddie Vedder (From Pearl Jam who also headlined that year). So he was probably the only logical choice to take over a headline slot at the prestigious festival at the very last minute. Of course, his set featured guest performances as well, from ALO to the Preservation Hall Jazz Band.

Crowd at Bonnaroo

While most festival goers were still at the main stage, enthralled by a massive fireworks show that followed Johnson's set, the legendary midnight hour had begun on the other side of the festival with five near simultaneous sets of unique epic proportions. R. Kelly began his much anticipated set just before midnight, on the Which stage. He began his set with an appearance high above the crowd on a towering crane, rising sixty feet in the air, while a Sunday dressed choir appeared below him. He then came down from the heavens to play a nearly two hour, explosive set filled with his biggest hit songs. Meanwhile, legendary rocker Billy Idol sneered his way into the hearts of adulate fans when he played That Tent with his band of veteran rockers. The larger than life rock “idol” whipped the crowd into a frenzy. A completely different but no less talented musician sang his sarcasm drenched knock offs to a delighted crowd also at midnight. Weird Al Yankovic may be a comedian on the surface, but he is an accomplished musician at heart, taking up several instruments during his spirited performance Also at midnight was the much celebrated, iconic SUPERJAM, which this year featured the largest collaboration ever at Bonnaroo. Included were all of the billed performers, Jim James, Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Zigaboo, Modeliste, and Larry Graham. They were also joined by surprise guests, Billy Idol , R, Kelly and Brittany Howard from Alabama Shakes. The last act to be added to Bonnaroo this year (Well second to last counting Jack Johnson), was on the tiny solar stage also at midnight. The 365 performance featured Soul Khan, Jenny Suk, Knower, and Black Violin. Considering the immense competition on the main stages it was amazing at how large a crowd this amalgamation band attracted. The music, a blend of EDM, Hip Hop, and classical music was one of the most unique sets at the festival. Led by the Black Violins, a pair of violinists who looked more like professional football players, the group dazzled the crowd with their unique dance infused sound. It was time to savor some late night food like fresh french toast stuffed with a fried egg and bacon at Dave's cafe. (Although most preferred a custom order of mini fried donuts). It washed down nicely with one of several of the IPA's available in the Broo'ers Tent.

Late night music lovers still had much to look forward to after the midnight sessions were over. Empire of The Sun put on a dazzling 2am show, which can only be described as performance theater rock. Looking much like a Broadway production, Luke Steele, appears as some sort of Aztec rock guitar god, while his partner Nick Littlemore, leads the Sydney band into mesmerizing EDM dance rock beats. All the while dancers that looked like they would be more at home at a Bjork concert flitted about the stage. At 2.30 am DJ Boys Noize began one of the most hard core EDM sets of the festival, whipping up late night fans into a sweating dancing frenzy. Meanwhile, at the same time another jam session was beginning, when “Bustle In Your Hedgerow” took the stage, joined for awhile by Brittany Howard, who seemed to favor the late night jam sessions. Although not as iconic in scope and personal wise as the SUPERJAM, this may have been the defining jam set of Bonnaroo 2013 for many. The core band features four jam band veterans who perform their own remixes of Led Zeppelin classics. The group played nothing less than an awesome two hour and twenty two minute set that stretched into the first light of day four at Bonnaroo. The intense jams never let up until the last note of Heartbreaker could be heard echoing though the now near empty Centeroo.

WATCH BIRTHDAY BOY MACCA IN ACTION AT INSTANT CLASSIC MEXICO CITY SHOW

[Image via Paul McCartney Facebook Page]
Considering the marathon shows he's put on every night of his current Out There World Tour, it's hard to believe Paul McCartney turns 71 today. Yet the former Beatle is indeed in his golden years and thankfully for us is playing with the energy of men half his age.
We're celebrating Macca's birthday by presenting an outstanding, "instant classic" show he played at Mexico City's Zócalo de la Ciudad de México on May 10, 2012. All in all, McCartney and his amazing backing band treat the crowd to 40 songs from his Beatles, Wings and solo careers. There's even a touch of local flavor when Mariachi Gama 1000 emerges to add flair to "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da." And yes, he does perform "Birthday."
We recommend checking out the whole show, but if you're looking to skip around check out the cool outro jam tacked on to "I've Got A Feeling," the synth'd out "Nineteen Hundred and Eighty-Five," the three-guitar attack on "Helter Skelter" and a rare cover of John Lennon's "Give Peace A Chance" that comes out of "A Day In The Life."
Watch a complete, professionally-shot Paul McCartney show from Mexico City 2012:

Robert Hunter Announces Fall Tour

Tue, 18 Jun 2013 09:45:00 -0700
ROBERT HUNTER HITS THE ROAD THIS FALL

After spending nearly a decade off the road, Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter is heading out for eight shows this fall. “I began thinking about touring again and started working on my guitar playing,” Hunter said recently. “And the more I played the more I was reminded of the special joy that connecting with an audience brings. And I realized I missed it. It’s time to hit the road.”
Hunter's live shows have historically been mostly filled with Grateful Dead classics, though sometimes with slightly alternate lyrics and other songs from his catalog amassed over the years. For a sample of what to expect, have a listen to this great soundboard recording from PNC Arts Center, August 10, 2004, when Hunter was opening a dozen shows for The Dead.

Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers Deliver The Hits At Bonnaroo

Mon, 17 Jun 2013 06:00:00 -0700
LEGENDARY ROCKERS CLOSE OUT BONNAROO WITH PLENTY OF HITS

Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers brought Bonnaroo to a close last night with a 20-song performance that was heavy on the hits. While in the past, the fact that Petty and his band played a set that focused on his most beloved songs wouldn't be news, but on his current tour he's been eschewing the hits in favor of deeper cuts.
Last night's performances of "Free Fallin'," "Don't Come Around Here No More," "Yer So Bad" and "Learning To Fly" were only the fourth versions of each during the 15 shows Petty And The Heartbreakers have played so far this tour. Other hits performed last night included "I Won't Back Down," "Here Comes My Girl," "Mary Jane's Last Dance," "Listen To Her Heart," "Refugee" and "American Girl."
Though the focus was on the hits, the group also did offer a few rarities including "Rebels," "Good Enough" and a cover of "Friend Of The Devil" by the Grateful Dead. As with every show this tour, "So You Want To Be A Rock 'n' Roll Star" kicked off the evening.
Here's the setlist from last night's Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' set at Bonnaroo:
