Michelle Shocked, Michael Penn, Erin McKeown, Assembly of Dust, David Poe

Allegheny Landing Park, Pittsburgh, PA....   The WYEP Summer Music Festival   In Brief: The only old song Shocked played was "Anchorage"--everything else was new. But unlike many performers who are heavy on their latest material, she was so dynamic that no one seemed to mind. Erin McKeown sat in on guitar for about 4 songs. There were some technical troubles during Penn's set, but he still played well. "Long Way Down" was interrupted halfway through ("I'd like to soldier on," Penn explained when he stopped the number, "But it's hard to sing if I can't hear the guitar"), but I'm so glad he played it. He closed with "Walter Reed," one of my favorites of the new record.

Big Audio Dynamite II/The Farm

Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ   This was one of the most fun concerts I've ever attended. I've been to perhaps better concerts, on a number of criteria, but rarely have I enjoyed myself more at a show. post continues.... This was an outdoor concert at Deiner Park, a lawn built over Route 18 and overlooking the Raritan River. It was beautiful September night, with that sort of coolness which, when mixed with activity, is neither chilly nor hot. Mick Jones' B.A.D. II's album The Globe had just connected with the cultural zeitgeist in a way that he hadn't managed since his days with The Clash (and, at this writing, he was not to do so again). Fueled by the big-beat dance-rock sound that was soaring to ascendency during 1991 (in what was also to be effectively its swan-song, as the hammer was even then being cocked to fire grunge's gun square at American musical tastes), "Rush" was just then becoming Jones' only U.S. post-Clash Top 40 hit;...

Leona Naess, Damien Rice

Tulagi, Boulder, CO..... Tulagi was a bar right next to the Fox Theater, and for these radio convention showcase performances, conference attendees could go back and forth between venue to see the artists performing at each with staggered set times. (Here's who was playing at the Fox .) Damien Rice was intense as per his usual. My primary memory of the set was watching backup singer Lisa Hannigan fold herself up at the back of the stage when she wasn't singing on a song. She sat down with her legs folded underneath her and folded her hands together in a very memorable manner. Even though Rice's O album was released the previous year, he was still trying to break through to a higher level in the U.S. While the eventually went gold on these shores, I think it took until the following year to make it to a broader audience.   I loved Naess' Comatised album from 2000, but I was a little underwhelmed by her latest and self-titled album. But it was good to see her nonetheles...
