@martykl, the show was great! SQ at the venue is/was top notch. He's touring thru-out the year with Gary Hunt (Son Volt's latest gtr slinger/multi-instrumentalist) as a duo (playing electric and acoustic: Jay played nothing but acoustic gtrs, so no crushing neck strangulating "Chickamauga" solo that's been know to level entire cities) and you guessed it they re-imagined many from Honky Tonk as well as the usual suspects from UT (Still Be Around), SV (to my surprise they did "Back Into Your World" which was - well, fabulous) and Jay solo stuff as well as New Multitudes "Hope Machine" ... off top of my head cant remember the entire set list but it was a well thought out mix of twenty some odd songs from thru-out his career. It was just them. No opener. Great evening of music. Jay was smiling looking like he was having a good time and his voice sounded amazing. If they're swinging thru your town - catch 'em... the man's got so many gems in his catalog.... |
Hi Lowrider, No, Katonah is an easy drive from where I am in Connecticut. My wife and I have been to quite a few of the outdoor summer concerts at Caramoor over the years, and they're always a delight. Looking forward to more Schubert (songs and piano music, including the d.959 sonata) a week from Sunday, at this concert on the campus of Bard College, further up in New York State. Thanks to A'goner Frogman for calling attention to that concert series in a post a couple of months ago. Best, -- Al |
