Finally got to cross this one off my "bucket list." Saw MC and his backup band "The Bottle Rockets" at the HiiFi in Indianapolis last night. Bottle Rockets opened with about an hour set and then backed Marshall for a nintey minute tour de force. MC played a few new tunes, a couple covers(Richard Thompson & Buddy Holly), and several "oldies" in a well received set. Whatta night! MC was in fine form and stayed around to sign albums and greet fans at the merchandise table. I purchased his new vinyl EP "Move Now" while he signed a copy of his debut album for me. Played "Move Now", "Favorite Waste Of Time", "Mary Ann", "Someday Someway", "Cynical Girl", "There She Goes", and many others. First visit to HiFi, capacity is 195 and tickets sold out, only about a dozen or so bar stools to sit on. Good selection of craft beers. I was not familiar with the Bottle Rockets and came away impressed and wish I had purchased their CD boxed set. Definitely a "AARP crowd" with nearly everyone age 50 & older. 5 stars

This was the best concert that I have ever been to bar none. The enchanting voices of Lisa Gerrard and Brendan Perry captivate me and they sound amazing even though they are 30 years into their musical careers with the band. The array of sounds, languages and cultures that Dead Can Dance master is truly amazing. Introducing the audience to new instruments and sounds make Dead Can Dance a truly unique band.

This was a great show. The Delfonics were amazing.

Pat Travers did a great job as always, but the venue was a bit steril. He began on time (8:00) and finished his set at the assigned minute, 9:00. One hour allowed him to only play a couple of newer songs and about four of his standards. He seemed very compliant to the casino contract. I have seen him in several other venues and he has gone easily for two and a half hours. It wasn't until aftwards when I realized that casino shows likely put a strict limit on playing time in order to get people back out to the floor to lose money gambling. We also paid a bit extra to sit second row center, but the sound seemed to be mixed to the center of the room so the sound was not that good. Rick Derringer was a bit too PBS for me. It seemed a bit kitch.

destruction was awesome along with the other bands as well.. some of the band members from all groups were hanging out and very easy to talk with..

Even a nasty cold couldn't keep the great John Doe from turning out a wonderful show at the High Dive in Seattle's Fremont neighborhood. Doe humbly told the capacity crowd that he was pretty sick, should have canceled and if anyone wanted their money back that the club would probably oblige. No one gave two sh*ts about the occasional voice-cracking -- it only added to the real-time enjoyment of the live performance. A few sips of whiskey and an offstage nose-blow had the crowd with him all the way. It was fantastic to see John Doe in an intimate venue all by himself. He was friendly and chatty with the crowd, keeping his signature charm with him throughout his set and three encore songs. Delightful.

An unforgettable evening. Thomas Dolby was entertaining, engaging, pleasant and gracious. A unique experience to have a soundtrack played live in front of you. The venue was perfect.

What needs to be said?DORO was,is,and will always be the queen of metal!She puts on a great show and loves her fans.She played a lot of old and new songs.She can rock like the best of them and I'm so very happy to be able to see her in concert.If you want a real good female singer to listen to,DORO is the girl you want.She's been doing it for over 25 yrs and gets better every year.

One of the best concerts that I have seen in years. A real magic evening by two greats with perfect backup

From the time they hit the stage to the time the left, the show was tight, well paced, and full of fan favorites. The crowd sang along and shouted their love (one guy was extra exuberant) the Ray. I tried to let Joey know we loved him, too, but I'm not sure he heard me. The sound was well done, as always. The fans were friendly and loved talking about how many times and where they had seen FW before. My last time was Fort Worth, TX in 1994.
