The Rolling Stones in Buenos Aires, February 2016. Probably the single craziest experience of my life. In Argentina specifically, the Stones are still a cultural phenomenon. Their fans are called Rollingas and they're rabid. We started out standing just to the right of the sound board. When the sho...

Guns N’ Roses, Slane Castle, Slane, Co. Meath, Ireland May 27th, 2017. The Original Guns N’ Roses played Slane Castle 25 years ago. It’s a venue in beautiful countryside located in Co. Meath. The venue is a natural bowl shaped area where the stage is down by the bottom of a bowl/ hill - by the river...

Years ago, someone from the DBTs Yahoo Group posted a clip of the Truckers and Slobberbone (aka "SlobberTruckers") doing "Cortez" but unfortunately, that clip has long since vanished into cyberspace. The clip has been found and uploaded to YouTube. It looks like it's been online since February of l...

Midnight Oil were amazing on Wednesday. The band has come roaring back & sound at least as good as back in the day. My ears are still ringing 2 days later. I hope they take this momentum & put out some new stuff. They did 24 songs over 2 hours including a big chunk of Diesel & Dust. There was a sho...

A few weeks ago in Dublin I saw The Selecter and The Beat. They are touring the UK and Ireland and alternating the headline slot each night. The Selecter were excellent. Pauline Black is a great frontperson, and has great stage presence. She's still in fine voice and it was an eight piece band. The ...

[youtube]eSxR35k1SC4&ytbChannel=MyTravelClips[/youtube] The Story of Jamican Music. Parts 1, 2, 3. It still amazes me how such a small county of not much more than 2 million could create such the wonderful music forms of ska/rocksteady/reggae, which went so world wide, and is so loved throughout the...

Obviously a song released 10+ later by a band Lou Reed was probably barely aware of didn't influence this, but it's just what I hea...

I listened to Spotify's version of American Band for the first time the other day. Some the album's 11 tracks on Spotify appear to be the live versions of the songs, whilst others are the studio versions of the songs. Anyone know why Spotify have the album tracks - some live, some studio - mixed li...

Thanks to whoever recorded and posted the 28th Feb. Vicar St., Dublin show. The sound quality is excellent - definitely one the best audio quality recordings from the recent tour.

Does anyone have a copy of night 1, the 16th?

So my first two Rock Shows, on consecutive nights, in two great cities and wildly differing venues. Trix in Antwerp is a 450 capacity club up the stairs from a community music centre and recording studios, located in an uncharming industrial area of town. Missed Eyelids at this show as we were talk...

Roundhouse, Camden, London Show: So I went to London to see my second Rock Show. I was in the Roundhouse in Camden, someone has already posted to 3DD a photo of the venue, band and crowd from the side, but when I get them off my phone I’ll post another photo or two of the massive high domed ceiling,...
