How to sum up 2012 in a few words? “Genesis-obsessed” might take care of it with several characters to spare.

Random Youtube: Robert Cray – Time Makes Two
One of the best compliments paid to Robert Cray’s performance at the House of Blues on Tuesday night came from a reaction to “Time Makes Two,” the closing song of Cray’s two song encore. A gentleman in front of me, probably a few drinks deep, turned around and said to everybody within earshot, “I’m gonna […]

Eric Clapton announces Crossroads Guitar Festival 2010
This year was looking like it might be the first one in a while to be festival-free on my concert schedule. After attending on average, 3-4 festivals each year for the past few years, my cranky concert going self was telling me that it might be time for a break. But I didn’t count on […]

My man Judd is at it again – he’s got a good discussion going, talking about his favorite live tunes, and he slipped one of my all-time favorites onto his list. To me, Eric Clapton’s version of Dylan’s classic “Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright” (recorded at the Bob Dylan 30th Anniversary Tribute Concert) is the […]

It Came From the 70s – DVD Edition – Deep Purple, Ted Nugent, Jeff Beck
