Favoriting Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from May 27, 2016 Favoriting

Uncle Michael's avatar View Uncle Michael's profile Favoriting

Turning over the toy box and jamming together the gloriously mismatched musical Lincoln Logs, Legos and Tinker Toys from Tin Pan Alley pluggers, pickled egg tavern weepers, lockstep soul ensembles, skinny-tie power poppers, Eurotrash ravers, moontanned art school rockers, drunken soccer anthems and anything else that seems like a good idea at the time. There are no guilty pleasures.

I think I have only been to an arena concert once. If I had a job of designing an expensive arena concert for a band, I would hire some illusionists as consultants, and design the show so that it looks like the band members frequently materialize among the stands.

I can't find a correlation between venue size or seating location and quality of show. Cheap Trick got better the bigger the venue, for instance. I've heard Brotzmann in big venues (the arena in Victoriaville) and small (a hole in the wall in Berkeley). Both were impressive, albeit in different ways. I did enjoy sitting directly at stage center once at a Jimmy Smith show, but mostly because after I ordered a second martini, he told me to cut down on drinking.

@jeff golick that is a very strange shaped room. I've come to find in the NYC area many of the people who show up at shows are not there with any interest as to what is going on but want to have the ability to say they were there. I was at an acoustic show in the basement of Bowery Electric and the audience and the artist had to ask people to keep their voices down.

i saw the dead once. my first concert -c.1977, at madison square garden. it was an interesting study in sociology, but not interesting enough to see them again. staying home with the records and a flock of deadhead girls; smoking and maybe drinking or tripping was much more satisfying.

Another time I mentioned to a buddy of mine that Peter Gabriel was playing "across the street." He and I used to travel up and down the state to Gabriel shows in the early '80s.
