Plus One

Saw Rehab, at an outdoor venue in Gulfport, they opened for Uncle Cracker, but I believe any true music lover will tell you that they blew Uncle Cracker out of the water!!! (Funny choice of expression since they were playing on a barge in the water...) Anyway, I've been a fan for 6 years and had never seen them live!! Even though it was one of the hottest days in Gulfport, MS (so far this year), they still showed incredible stamina, energy, and vocal strength! They had everyone hype!! Uncle Cracker might have had the top billing, but Rehab was the star of the show!! Please come back soon!!!

Red grant was funny as hell cant wait to see him again we were laughing all night.

The build-up and back-story recaps of preview weeks prior to the Backlash line up is half of the event.... yet every screen was blocked by speakers! I traveled all the way to Newark when the better view would have been on my couch. See the attached photo.

Leo was in his usual rare form. His apparent random banter with the audience was in top form. Especially two stories: one about a pair of performers playing to an empty hall and doing a curtain call ... and his female pianist female distant relative who lived in Germany after WWI named Kottke who passed away at the age of 23. On the music front he was crisp and wonderful. Thanks to the Birchmere for having a fantastic sound system. You could hear his fingers sliding up and down the strings as he played. Yes, it was a night without Pamela Brown (I missed her) and at no time did the play list hit an Eight Mile High. There were many classic on the play list and some seldom heard old "side B's". Finally - I have always loved the Birchmere as a venue, but they continue to sink to new lows. NO PITCHERS OF WATER ON THE TABLES - THEY FORCE YOU TO BUY EXPENSIVE BOTTLES OF WATER. LUDICROUS! They have also dumbed down the menu and limited the selections WITH ALL THE PRICES RAISED $2.00 to $3.00 or more. My humble advice - eat before you go. Not worth it any more. Its a real shame that for a few pennies of profit the Birchmere has slipped to a new low of mediocrity.

They had so much energy, they were always smiling, and it genuinely seemed like they were having a blast on stage. They were amazing live.

We went to show to see SWMRS. Loved them of course! Added bonus was great show by the Regrettes and loved Interrupters! Delmar Hall wonderful venue.

Great harmonies, great songs, and great memories. Arlo, his daughter Sarah Lee, and son Abe sound great together. Sarah Lee has a great voice and is a gifted song writer. There were lots of great memories from the sixties plus many new ones. Arlo did the full version of Alice's Restaurant Massacree, City of New Orleans, plus classics like Dylan's Times They Are a Changin'. I can't believe it but the last time I saw Arlo was in 1969 at Woodstock. He still sounds great. Two full sets and a very enjoyable evening overall.

Jackie Mason was on time. Jackie was very funny with his jokes.

Excellent event, with the two stages it was easy to time out who you wanted to see, although food options and locations were limited, there was plenty to drink - great sets from all the bands

Lorde put on a fantastic show! Not over the top, but interesting enough with great dancers.
