Your last concert was to see who and when?

@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....

Alisa Weilerstein and the Ariel String Quartet performing works by Boccherini and Arensky, and Schubert's magnificent Cello Quintet d.956. Last Friday at the Caramoor Summer Music Festival, Katonah, NY. Wonderful!

That sounds like a terrific show, Al. Did you stay overnite?

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,

Amos Lee at Segerstrom Concert Hall in Costa Mesa Calif on August 6th. He is so much better live!
