The Musical Box and The Lamb

For the 45th and final concert of Rockman's record breaking 2012, I returned with the Silver Medalist Mark Snepp (a brilliant 16 shows) to the Variety Playhouse  for the Musical Box's Genesis approved recreation of The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway!
The Box did a stunning performance of The Lamb using Genesis's original slides and costumes from the 1973 Lamb tour.
It was so great that this was my second time this year to see this great show.  Let's hope they come back with Foxtrot and Selling England By The Pound!


Time for Rockman to rest and to celebrate the holidays.  It was great going to the show with all of you this year and special congrats to our Bronze Medalist Don with Honorable Mentions to Mark Z, Jon, Jeremy and Roger for mutiple nites of madness!  Also special thanks to all the good people who provided me with seats including Brian, Brandon, Jimmy and Bernie and anybody else who made this amazing year happen. Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to all. See ya at the show...

There's only one queen and that's Madonna!

The Queen came to the ATL last weekend and she ruled supreme.  Not an early riser, Madonna came on at her customary 10:30 to present a show that was a dance combination of The Wall and Quadrophenia put together!
The show was filled with joy, violence, lust, light and sound.  A true overload for the senses as Madge brought her MDNA tour to town...
Flying drummers, voguers, strippers, snipers, and a cast of thousands provided a spectacle for the ages!

Quadrophenia Live

Saw the Who play Quadrophenia and More at Gwinnett on Monday,
what a multimedia rockin extravaganza!
Roger and Pete and the gang played the entire Quadrophenia from start to finish. 

It was like the Who's version of the Wall.  They had a fabulous band replete with a horn section and the incredible drumming of Ringo's boy Zak Starkey.  They encored with many Who classics. With the Who, you won't get fooled again...well done boys!

Living in the Limelight!

Rocked it out with Rush at Verizon Ampitheater for the Clockwork Angels Tour!
Rockman's 40th show of the year!
The band was tight as always and featured tunes from the new cd.  They even had a string section for the second set making it like Rush meets ELO!
All the classics were played too, they just get better every tour!
Off to the Who and Heart this week.  See ya at the show!

Ladies Nites!

Spent a couple of nites with the women of Rock and Roll!  Kicked it off with Alanis Morrisette at the Tabernacle.  She played a bunch off her fine new album and all the old hits. She was backed by a rockin band that sounded like Led Zeppelin.  Alanis is back!
Then the very next nite it was Rockman in NYC!  Caught Aimee Mann at Town Hall in Times Square.  Another rockin show with the Charmer doin her thing entertaining me and my NY and NJ freinds in a final calm before the storm...
