All I can say is if Dispatch was playing again today at a local venue I would be there! They are fantastic musicians! Loved them!

I love the Libbey Bowl...it is very intimate, laid-back, and has great acoustics. However, they have a 10PM curfew which is really an unfortunate pain! Even Ojai residents comment that they wish it were 11PM, or at least 10:30. What's curious about it is that restaurants and other venues in the area play live music, with their doors and windows open, until much later. DSO apparently did not know about the curfew, or they might have taken a shorter break, as they inferred when they came back on. Regardless, for bands that play long shows and that jam, if there is a hard 10PM curfew, the shows need to to be scheduled for an earlier start. Most DSO shows I've seen have run 3-3 1/2 hours of actual performance time. This was a great show, with the band really cooking, but unfortunately they were limited to less than 2 1/2 hours because of the ridiculous curfew. Oh...and the venue ran out of beer before the break.

Emmylou is still on top of her game and her band the Red Dirt Ramblers is her best ever. If you get a chance to see her on this tour just GO!!

Felix still plays and sounds great! Plus, he has a great band that adds a new spin on all The Rascals' classic hits. During the instrumental breaks he samples other rock classics and gets the crowd fully engaged and singing along. 90 minutes of pure fun.

Fun to see Stark Trek 2 with a crowd of Trek fans. William told some stories, occasionally about the topic of discussion at that moment, usually not. He skillfully avoided answering most questions from the crowd, but made it fun as he did it. Overall, nothing new of earth shattering if you know much about him already, he was just as you might expect. A friend also went and paid for the meet & greet, which in his words was a big disappointment.

It was amazing attending the first Battle in our own Reliant Stadium. Made the even that much more spectacular. It was fantastic seeing a sea of purple and orange in the stadium. Truly a remarkable event! Look forward to going to it every year!

Inside show so we stood right next to the stage, awesome being that close. She played a few familiar songs, but mostly lesser know stuff. The band and her were great played a couple neil young songs too.

Such a good concert: so distinctive a singer, such heart wrenching lovely tunes (a Burt Bacharach-Hal David of alt music) alternating with wry observational and catchy ditties (alt pop at its wittiest).

Weather was perfect. Parking was great. Shuttle service right to the front door. Seats were good and the Tigers roared! M I Z....Z O U!

Every song had a nice long groovy jam. Karl's singing and horns were a treat. Seth freeman was great on lead guitar.
