Tempting as it is I am going to pass on this one, the tickets are outrageously expensive. I saw Dylan at the Armadillo and could barely identify a single track. Neil Young seems to become more and more self indulgent with 20minute guitar solos.

Bob Dylan and Neil Young
It is name that tune time at Hyde Park where Bob Dylan and Neil Young will co-headline British Summer Time.

Springsteen Broadway
The forthcoming feature of Springsteen Broadway is bound to enthral his many fans, but in truth not so sure how many it will win over as new fans.
It wasn't a concert, yet wasn't quite a stage show or one man show. A bit of both. I was lucky enough to catch it and thought outstanding, but I am a huge fan to start with.
The stories were endearing but again as a fan you probably know it all already through his music and biography. Wonderful to see him again in an intimate setting (Edinburgh Playhouse was also special) here is the setlist:
The dropping of Mrs Springsteen is long overdue in my opinion (although as I have said before her solo stuff pretty good), she just grates with Bruce's vocal, overemphasises things and general is just a downer.
15 Tracks 2hrs 40mins and went bye in a heartbeat.

Cowboy Junkies - Mitchell Theatre
One of those horrible nights when there are two or three great gigs on. Very frustrating. However its been a long term ambition to see the Cowboy Junkies, so Old Dominion I am afraid had to be binned.
The gig was fantastic, suitably low key as you would expect and Margo Timmins was just sublime, her voice and delivery just incredible.
The key album is of course the Trinity Sessions and I was delighted to hear them perform Sweet Jane. Box ticked.

What Is Love For?
Its a great question! For one thing it is the title of an absolutely outstanding lp. Reason for blogging it that this is about to be released on vinyl for first time. Just in time for xmas or say a birthday!
I really think this deserves so much more recognition!
