Just read this, Pooj ... Dead and Co., to stop touring after this tour ... https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/dead-company-final-tour-1334902/

It looks like this article has since been updated to say that no official decision has been made yet

Allegedly

How the hell can Rolling Stone break a story that hasn't been verified by the ***** BAND MEMBERS?!?!  Someone's in trouble.

[The Poojer]

Actually i believe it's probably true.  They say a rumor isn't true until it's officially denied....Billy K had a rough end to 2021.  Bob Weir seems to be thrilled playing with the Wolf Bros, Mickey would probably like nothing more than to focus solely on his world percussion stuff, Mayer has cemented himself as a major draw.  I think we'll see Oteil and Jeff C carry on in some way.  We'll see

Saw Joan Jett last night at the Albany Palace Theater (Albany, NY - less than 3K capacity).  

 

Good show, but surprisingly short.  Opener (Soraia) - clearly heavily inspired by Joan Jett, played a nice 30-minute set of throwback 80s rock and roll.  Started at precisely 8pm.  Nice energy.  Female singer (no instruments), female drummer, dudes on bass, guitar and keys (barely audible).

 

Joan Jett and the Blackhearts came out at precisely 9pm.  Nice set of Runaways tunes and her most popular JJBH tunes.  Then, shockingly, they went acoustic and did a set of 4-5 tunes, which turned out to be pretty excellent.  She said they'd only been working on the acoustic set for the past couple weeks and asked for our patience.  Said she felt "exposed."  

 

Then ... that was it.  Done.  Exactly 90 minutes and they were done.

 

That was a little disappointing, but I'm glad went.

 

I know she's part of the Def Leppard/Poison arena tour, so I'm not sure how many of these smaller shows she's got scheduled.  If you've never seen her (this was my first time), I'd recommend it - especially in a venue this size.

Posted earlier about attending Saucerful of Secrets show in DC (reasonable distance from where we live). Just picked up tix to also attend show at Shea’s on Sun, Oct 9. Hope it works out with Bill’s schedule…taking a chance but liked the reviews I saw for opening of the tour the other day in Dublin.

Holy crap, that's a festival!!!  Trying to sneak in a lesh show during my Dead and Company roadie

[Ned Flanders]

Some shows coming to the DC area I'd like to check out, i.e. Lindsey Buckingham next week, Steely Dan in June, Sting Labor Day weekend.  Paul McCartney coming to Baltimore in June but tickets are outrageously high...my neighbor paid $1800 for two tickets and I told him at that price, I hope you're sitting on Sir Paul's lap.

B'52's last tour (probably not the last show though):

Some of these are with The Tubes... and speaking of, Re Styles passed away a few days ago at 72, those first 4 Tubes albums are gold:

RIP.

 

What Do You Want From Live is my go-to Tubes though, one of my fav live albums, sounds so great.

Going to see Van Morrison tonight. He’s right up there on my wish list with Eric Clapton who we saw a few months ago.
