Neil Finn brought the new band with wife Sharron, Pajama Club, to the Birchmere in Alexandria, VA on June 23. It was the North American premier of the band. It was a very different and thoroughly enjoyable Neil Finn experience. Here is the setlist:
I recorded the entire set on my Flip HD. It was a fun show and you may enjoy watching.

I went to see the Posies and Brendan Benson at the 9:30 Club on November 17 with my good friend Sean. The Posies opened the show then Ken Stringfellow and Jon Auer (The Posies) came out to join Brendan and his regular drummer for Brendan’s set. I recorded the entire Posies set and Brendan’s right up to his encore, where I can ran out of virtual film on my Flip HD.
Brendan’s encore was great (‘Crosseyed’, ‘Feel Like Taking You Home’, and Alex Chilton’s ‘September Gurls’). You can download the audio of the encore here.
It ain’t a perfect video but it was a fun show and you may enjoy watching. Here is a link to an interview that same day from ‘Brendan Benson’s Unofficial site‘.

I recorded the Tubes show at Rams Head Live in Annapolis last night on my Flip HD camera. I was there to enjoy the show so for the most part it sits on the table we were at. It ain’t perfect but it was a fun show and you may enjoy watching.
The final encore was great (Talk To You Later with an extended jam on Third Stone From The Sun) but I ran out of ‘virtual tape’ at the 2 hour mark (during She’s A Beauty).

Here’s the beautiful video just released for the forthcoming Jimi Hendrix release ‘Valleys of Neptune’. 40 years after his untimely exit from this plane of existence the master delivers his message of peace and love and places as yet unseen. Rock on Jimi! And while you are here, check out the pictures of Jimi’s final domestic show at the Honolulu International Center (8/1/70) on the music page. (please pardon the short Sony ad that precedes the video)

I was thinking about good friends and I couldn’t help but think back to the trip that Charlie and Don and I took to Amsterdam at the end of August 2007. It was a spur of the moment trip that was just ‘through the roof’ as far a good times go. Thanks Charlie!
I the events sections I finally added the description and pictures from my trip with Chris to the Mid-Ohio Sports Car track in August. Take a look then come back and post a comment.
My brother Dave who is one of the preeminent Star Wars artist (particularly with oil on canvas – see his work at dormanart.com) was on comedian/talk host Dennis Miller’s radio show last week. Follow the link below for a free replay of the wide ranging and entertaining interview.
Max and I headed down to the National Harbor for a Gov’t Mule show on July 30. A fabulous show (2.5 hours) as the sun set and it became a magical rock and roll night. We met a guy from Fredricksburg, VA (Bernie with the cool hawaiian shirt and hat) that had just seen them the night before at Innsbrook and these pics go out to him. There were at least six tapers at the show so grab a copy off eMule or bt.etree.org and dig it.
Here are Max’s great pics. He did break general admission protocol and bust up front for some great close-ups. Thanks Max!!!
PS – ignore the date on the pictures. Max needs to learn how to set up his camera. LOL!
