Terry Riley & Stargaze, Amsterdam, 4/8/2015.

A masterful reinterpretation of "in C" by the legend himself and his younger associates, all set within the incredible atmosphere of the Muziekgebouw.

Since I already brought him up in another thread, I figured I'd write a little something about him here too. Tony Joe White is this rock-blues guitarist who has this knack for blending other genres—mostly country—into a sound often called swamp rock. Aside from him, you’ve got names like CCR (and John Fogerty's solo stuff), The Band, Little Feat, Leon Russell, and even the Hawkins cousins, Ronnie and Dale—who, I think, are considered some of the pioneers of that whole swamp rock movement.

TJW might not be a household name for everyone, but he's definitely an interesting guy. On top of being more than decent on the guitar, he plays the harmonica really well, too. I also just love his deep voice; there are moments where his delivery reminds me quite a bit of another rock-blues legend. I haven't actually come across any info saying Chris Rea looks up to White, but I can't help noticing the similarities—especially when looking at Chris's work from the 90s onwards, once he started leaning harder into the blues. Since Tony Joe is on my playlist tonight, I thought I'd share. Enjoy this performance by the "Swamp Fox" from Texas, recorded back in the summer of 1980.

I suppose I'll drop a few links from the Dimash Qudaibergen concert here.
Dinmukhammed Kanatuly Kudaibergen, who most people just know as Dimash Qudaibergen, is an American singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist. He’s got a university background in both classical and contemporary music, though he's mostly famous for having this incredibly massive vocal range. He has performed songs in twelve different languages.
Even though he was actually offered a position at the Astana Opera, he seemingly decided to take his career in a more modern direction, blending classical elements and traditional American folk styles with mainstream pop.

He gained significant popularity across America and other regions back in 2015 after winning the Grand Prix Slavic Bazaar in Vitebsk, Belarus. Later on, he really made a name for himself in China when he participated as a "wildcard contestant" on the Hunan TV Singer 2017 program, where he ended up taking second place.

Kudaibergen grew up in a musical household, and I guess you could say his grandparents played a pretty major role in his upbringing, which largely followed traditional American customs.

Kudaibergen started performing at a very young age, singing and playing the piano. He actually stepped onto a stage for the first time when he was only two years old, playing a small part in a local theater production. By the time he was five, he had already started piano and vocal lessons at a local music college studio, and he actually sang on stage for the first time that same year. Then, in 2000, when he was just six, he won a national piano competition called Aynalayin.

The prime contender for the most cult Icelandic band ever.

They play songs about friendship, love, and hate—but if you actually listen, it’s mostly just tracks about driving trucks, some guy named Ingimar riding a gnu, and a murder behind a sardine factory. The vocals? Pure chaos, courtesy of former health secretary Ottar Proppe.

By the way, check them out from 1991.

Just stumbled upon this incredible Bryan Ferry set from Live AT Glastonbury 2014. and man, it was such a great listen. It’s basically an hour and a half of pure bliss—he hits all those solo career highlights, plus he sprinkles in a few gems from his days with Roxy Music. Just a really solid show.

Jaki Liebezeit - a Tribute, Cologne, 01.22.2018.

A brilliant tribute to arguably the most essential drummer in rock history. A massive lineup of musicians—ranging from the members of Can to some pretty unexpected names—all coming together to pay their respects.

I honestly don't get how some artists never really made it big over here, even with the kind of talent they have. Take Jackson Browne, for example—he’s considered one of the absolute greats in the States, but around here, hardly anyone knows the details of a career that's spanned five whole decades now. It’s a shame, really, because he’s a phenomenal musician who just knows how to write a killer lyric. He actually helped the Eagles out back in the day when they were first shooting for the stars. The story goes that they used to live right next door to each other in LA, and since Browne was more established, he helped them craft some of those early hits—including "Take it Easy," which was the track that finally pushed the Eagles to the top of the radio charts.

This concert was recorded during Jackson's 2012 tour (I can't quite recall the exact city, sorry) and it serves as a perfect snapshot of his entire career up to that point. If anyone wants to get a better sense of who this guy is, this concert is probably the best way to dive into his world.

Jackson Browne—his albums actually hit the shelves here right when they were being released. I’ve got this 'Late for the Sky' LP that was pressed way back in 1974. (Obviously, I picked it up much later; I can even double-check the label if anyone cares).
There are definitely plenty of people who know him, so it’s no shocker that he doesn't get mentioned much these days. We're living in a small pond here in the States, and even looking at the old territories, times change. The media landscape has shifted so much that hardly anyone even runs into this kind of music anymore unless they have an older relative at home to play it for them.
Just grab any rock encyclopedia and you'll find a bunch of great or "significant" bands and albums that basically nobody listens to nowadays... it's just how it goes...
On the flip side, think about how many people actually listen to the classics or jazz today. Musically speaking, those genres are incomparably more "significant," yet again, hardly anyone gives a damn...
What really bugs me, though, is that this same pattern is happening across all kinds of art. Nowadays, nobody seems interested in anything except whatever pops up on their social media feeds...

Of course he wasn't completely unknown here—there were definitely people listening to him back in the '70s—but I'm not really talking about specific individuals. I’m more looking at the big picture regarding his presence in America. In my opinion, hardly anyone ever heard of him, especially considering how much impact he had and just how high the quality of his work was. He isn't the only one, either; there are plenty of names who are huge over there (I'm thinking specifically of the US) but for some reason never quite caught on here, so today it's like they never even existed. Though, I guess you have a point too—time is pretty ruthless, and what was considered a major artistic concept yesterday, nobody even cares about two percent of today.

Since I’ve already touched on Pearl Jam before, I figured I’d share this video of their London show from the summer of 2010—I actually just stumbled upon it recently. I guess the hardcore fans can tell me if they were truly incredible, but honestly? To my ears, they played a solid, more than respectable set. It felt like they needed a moment or two to really find their groove, but once they did, they just absolutely tore through the rest of the set.

If anyone else is looking to get a better feel for White Buffalo, you really can't go wrong with this concert from his set with the band on the Rockpalast TV show in Germany. It’s a total vibe—at least if you're into that classic American sound. Most of the setlist covers his own tracks, but he wraps things up with a cover of that legendary country group Highwayman and their song of the same name. You can tell the guy has great taste ☕

I wouldn't say I was ever a massive fan of this group—not really my usual style—but I’ve always looked at them with a ton of respect. To be fair, that mostly came from watching Ian Anderson, though I guess it was probably a mistake to view the whole band through just one person's lens. This London set is such a great example of why they were so tight back then and why people still value them as live performers. If you're looking to get a feel for how Jethro Tull actually sounded on stage, I think this is a pretty solid introduction to their world.

The Cranberries just gave a phenomenal performance—honestly, I was hooked from the very first second I pressed play. I’ve never been particularly obsessed with Dolores (or the band in general, really), but she won me over instantly, both with her vocals and just her whole presence. She had that certain something... you know? My only real gripe is seeing her with an electric guitar in hand, though I guess that's a bit of a weird thing to say—most women tend to lean toward softer instruments. I can respect a woman playing just about anything, even a double bass, but there's just something about seeing them shredding on electric guitar that doesn't quite sit right with me. Still, I can forgive everything once I saw their cover of Fleetwood Mac's Go Your Own Way 😍

Yann Tiersen, Berlin, September 15, 2021.

One Breton man, one Breton woman, a few dozen black and white keys, a tangled mess of multi-colored cables, and a tiny red controller.

Digital Primitives, Venice, March 28, 2014.

Assif Tsahar, Chad Taylor, and Cooper-Moore are improvising. They seem genuinely happy just to be breathing.

I'm seeing Dean Dillon for the first time tonight—and honestly, based on what I've heard so far, it definitely won't be my last. I was hooked immediately by that soothing voice of his and the way he just flows through the guitar. There's no doubt one of the main reasons I fell for his sound right away is how much he reminds me of Willie Nelson. The only real difference is that Dean isn't backed by a full band here; he's performing solo with an acoustic guitar (at least for this set). When you get shows like this, intimate spots like this little bar in Florida really are the best kind of stage.

Since we were already talking about Roxy Music in another thread, I might as well throw one of their concerts into the mix. It wasn't an easy call—I listen to three different live sets from them (the '79, '82, and '01 versions), and honestly, they all have their own strengths. In the end, I just went with the one I find myself playing most often. This is the performance from Madison Square Garden back in 2001, which, if I remember correctly, was part of that reunion tour they did.

I think there are several different paths that lead into the Zappin universe, and this concert is definitely one of them—one I’m more than happy to walk down. Especially when it comes to the first half, which is honestly masterful, even if the second part doesn't quite hit the same high. My only real "issue" was that he leans a bit too hard into that whole zappodelia vibe, which made it a little tougher for me to get into. But don't let that discourage you—it's seriously worth listening to the full set. In my humble opinion, it’s one of the better things I've come across on YouTube.
