Brian Wilson or Tony Bennet review?

[Alex]

Would love to read any reviews of either the recent Brian Wilson or Tony Bennett concerts and what songs they did. Just would have loved to go and couldn't.

However, anyone agree with me that Rikki Lee Jones at Harmony last Saturday was really listless? My quick review of Mike Stern however, is a question - can guitar playing be any better in any style?? What a master! His bandmates were also utterly fluid, top-notch masters..... but gee... except for the first song, I missed a good groove and a vocalist to play off of too....

Thanks,
Alex

I didn't see Brian or Tony, but I was right in front for Rikki Lee Jones. I really liked her. I didn't know what to expect as the last I'd heard from her was 'Girl at her volcano' quite a few years back. I heard that she's been through re-hab and has just put out a new CD. She was mellow and soulful and not like any of her old stuff. Very nice though... at least in my opinion.
