Son Volt, Chris Thile, Chastity Brown

Fine Line Music Cafe, Minneapolis, MN....

This show was part of the PRPD (Public Radio Program Director) Conference I attended. Son Volt was good, as always. Thile did a fine job and it's always fun to see him work that mandolin. Chastity Brown didn't make much of an impression.

Del Amitri, Gin Blossoms

Billy Price Band

WYEP Community Broadcast Center, Pittsburgh, PA..... This was a really nice night. We had a surprise birthday party for Pittsburgh music legend Billy Price. I was enlisted to invite Billy to come to the station to record an interview, but he had no idea his partner had planned a surprise party and invited his band and a bunch of his friends. Of course, they ended up on stage and did a great set of music. We recorded the whole thing and aired it on WYEP later. Fun for all!

Jeff Lynne's ELO, Dhani Harrison

PPG Paints Arena, Pittsburgh, PA ....   While I had never seen ELO before and was interested in catching them live, I really went to see Dhani Harrison. As it turned out, Dhani and his band were OK but ELO was extremely enjoyable.   Dhani Harrison   ELO setlist : Standin' in the Rain Evil Woman All Over the World Showdown Do Ya When I Was a Boy Livin' Thing Handle With Care (with Dhani Harrison) Rockaria!
