this years concert season started late with the roots concert in the spring, which was the jump off point. i hadnt been a strong roots fan for sometime. the concert was good, but it didnt "awe" like i expected. in june i saw the legendary Gil Scott-Heron and was amazed. he was much more a musician than i would have ever imagined. then nas came in July. sometimes aging legends live off their name alone. nas brought the house down. his energy level was through the roof plus he did most of Illmatic and capped it off with Live at the BBQ. Little Brother came last month and, if you read the previous blog, you already know (YAK). Last fri, it was Rapheal Saddiq, who brought the house down. my most memorable moment was him performing, "Still Ray" and the whole crowd and band hummed the tuba part. wow, you should have been there. here is a taste for those who don't know.
its been a good season so far, up next is Murs to take it to a new level.
