Saw him once before in 1992, and should have made an effort to see him again before this, because it was a wonderful show. Now a seasoned performer yet self-effacing and relateable. Quite a bonus being able to pick up the tickets online for $8.50.

Saw this group perform Rubber Soul a number of years ago and wasn't impressed. This time with the added strings and horn section they pulled off a surprisingly good recreation of the entire classic Beatles album. My sisters enjoyed it as well.

Surprisingly good. Having a bluegrass band do nothing but Grateful Dead tunes seemed like a stretch but going acoustic hardly made a difference. Perhaps the Dead was a bluegrass band at heart.

I've lost count of the number of times we've seen Arlo, and it never gets old. Well, I guess it's old, but it's still a treat. This time he was accompanied by only his son Abe, daughter Sarah Lee and a drummer. Arlo stuck to his classics, even threw in Alice's Restaurant, while Sarah Lee continues to develop and showed of a couple of very nice new tunes, which were a highlight of the night.

We have become accustomed to sitting in the front row for concerts at the Grand, so it's a bit of a shock to return to the nosebleed section, but it fulfilled a nearly 50 year old quest. We were set to see The Who perform Tommy at the Electric Factory in October 1969, but somehow got distracted and never made it. Have seen the play several times, but this is the first time seeing the full rock opera performed. Not the original band of course, with only Roger Daltry remaining, but Simon Townsend filled in for his older brother. Backed up the Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia which sometimes worked, but was too often lost in the background. Closed with amped up versions of Who Are You and Baba O'Reilly.
