I have seen a lot of great shows over the years... These are just some short
reviews of some of the more memorable shows that I have seen recently...


Roger Waters, Holmdel, NJ, August 6TH, 1999. Roger was awesome. What a great band. I'll tell you, Doyle Bramhall Jr. is an awesome guitarist.
How the hell do you play with the strings upside-down like that? Hmmmmm... His father, Doyle Bramhall, is a great guitarist as well.
He jammed with Stevie Ray Vaughan. Pick up his album, "Birds Nest On The Ground", you'll see... BTW, Stevie is on that album too.

Marilyn Manson, Holmdel, NJ, August 11TH, 2001. Manson kicked ass! No Theremin in this concert, however... Bummer.

Black Sabbath, Holmdel, NJ, August 11TH, 2001. Wow, the original line-up. What an awesome show!
I've seen Sabbath before, but this time was definetly the best. Unfortunately, they only played 9 songs...

Spinal Tap, The Beacon Theatre, Manhattan, 2001. WOW! I can't believe I actually got to see Spinal Tap. This was one of their rare concert appearances. And yes, of course, they played "Stonehenge". I got to meet Magician, Penn Gillette that night, he was there to see the show.

Love, with Arthur Lee, Warsaw Club, Brooklyn, 2002. Another rare opportunity. "Love" was one of the greatest psych/R&B bands of the sixties... I can't believe this guy is still going strong. He's like 65!!! The girls that work there are great, but their food sucks! I got wasted, forgot what time it was, and missed the last train back to Stratford that night. It sucked! Had to "sleep" at Grand Central. It was Christmas time, and everything was closed! I thought N.Y. was the city that never sleeps! WTF! Believe it or not, it was still worth it!

Pamelia Kurstin, Thereminist, Museum Of Natural History, July 25TH, 2002. Pamelia rules... She is one of the greatest Theremin players in the world. This show was AWESOME! There was a light show projected on the planetarium dome that was controlled by computer hooked up to the Theremin! Amazing...
Thank god there was a bar right down the street!

Alice Cooper, Fox Theatre, Foxwoods Resort Casino, 2003. Wow! What a great show. Eric Singer's drum solo was amazing! The Fox Theatre's soundman sucks though, the highs were too high... I guess he's just not used to this type of concert... Alice's daughter Calico plays Theremin on one song on the new album, but they didn't play it live that night. The song with Theremin is called, "This House Is Haunted"... This tune is a classic, and the best song on the album as far as I'm concerned. At least they played all the old classics live!

Little Steven's Underground Garage Festival, Randall's Island, NY, August 14TH, 2004. So many bands, it's all a friggin' blurr right now!
My very favorite bands that night were: The New York Dolls, The Chesterfield Kings, Nancy Sinatra, Bo Diddley, The Romantics,
The Creation, The Chocolate Watchband, Pete Best, The Electric Prunes, and The Pretty Things.
