Your last concert was to see who and when?

I saw Sarah McLachlan at The Greek Theater in LA last night. It's a fantastic outdoor venue, the weather was perfect, the band was tight as a drum, and Sarah is a charismatic performer who can sing her ass off. Unfortunately, most of the music was a snooze.

Overall, a nice night out with friends at The Greek with pleasant, tho unremarkable music.

BTW I completely agree re: the great appeal of Montreal, but if you want to feel better about leaving that town, I say visit in February.

I'd rather be in Montreal in February than in Miami in July indeed!

Saw a show by a GD tribute band called the dark star orchestra. They play note for note reproductions of various dead shows. Not a Deadhead, but it was a really nice show and they drew about 12-1500 folks.

Saw Steely Dan last Summer and was blown away by the musicianship and the sound. Seeing them again next month although I'm a bit wary in that they're playing outdoor venues and the hall isn't likely to match the quality of the Wang Center in Boston.

Regina Carter, a terrific jazz musician, also have a great performance and is well worth catching.
