Some Music On This Day 2nd January
From 2012 Fleet Foxes
As well as the great watching the rhythm section, the vocals, harmonies just exquisite!
Some music I've enjoyed from the years past.

From 2012 Fleet Foxes at The Sydney Opera House.
Seat in a box at the back half of the stage, turned out to be great seats, great view of the rhythm section.

2019 Saturday at The Blue Mountains Music Festival.
It was raining, a lot, so a day to pick a tent & stay there, rather than tent hop. Most of who I wanted to see were in the Big Top tent, so only missed a couple acts, I would have otherwise seen.....

2015 Richard Thompson Electric Trio at City Recital Hall, Angel Place, Sydney

Great show at great venue. Nice to see & contrast the acoustic & electric Richard on the same night

Richard Thompson Electric Trio review: Acoustic set has the edge
He began with the very essence of his art: alone with an acoustic guitar, delivering such brilliantly crafted songs as Johnny's Far Away.

Music on this day March 10th
2013 Neil Young & Crazy Horse at The Entertainment Centre, Sydney.
Unbelievably good show. Great musicianship, sensational jams, nice couple of solo acoustic songs mid set & I haven't yet founds words adequate enough to describe Walk Like A Giant, 23 minutes of epicness!

Music on this day Jan 29th (this one's a bit late, thought I'd seen the 2009 tour, which would have been March 8th, but it was the 2007 tour)
2007 Eric Clapton at The Entertainment Centre, Sydney
Brilliant concert, Eric in the blues/roots mode. Short acoustic set in the middle & most importantly,...

Music on this day March 8th (ok, a day late)
2006 Richard Thompson at The Enmore Theatre, Sydney
Could not take my eyes off his guitar. It was like his right hand plucking the strings was split into 2 halves, with each working independently. Mesmerizing.
And so much sound from just one guitar

Music on this day March 7th
2020 Pat Metheny at The State Theatre, Sydney
Playing with Antonio Sanchez on drums, Linda May Han Oh on bass & Gwilym Simcock on piano.
Hard to describe, but it was brilliant, immersed in a kaleidoscope of sound

Music on this day March 6th
2007 Luka Bloom at The Enmore, Sydney.
Brilliant. From starting with the Hunter's cover Throw Your Arms Around Me (He joked, thought he'd get it out of the way, to stop people calling out for it), beautiful versions of City Of Chicago, Lebanon......

Music on this day March 5th
2012 Bonnie Prince Billy at The Concert Hall, Sydney Opera House
Will Oldham's slightly wavering, broken voice, perfect for these songs. Great harmonies, great musicians, great show.

Music on this day March 4th
2013 Colin Hay solo at The Drama Theatre, Sydney Opera House.
This was the "Finding My Dance" Tour, so it was more of a show than a concert, with lots of stories. Most were very funny, so no problem with too much talking ruining a show. The music was beautiful. #musicsky

Music on this day
2010 Calexico at The Metro, Sydney
Didn't know much about Calexico, but as like the genre indie/americano, went to see them. Really enjoyed. Quite a laid back, mellow set, nice vocals, harmonies, liked the guitars & the horn section added some nice touches.

2018 Live at The ICC Theatre, Darling Harbour, Sydney
One of my favourite bands, so was looking forward to this. Sadly, this show was ruined by an awful sound mix, it was like they were playing a feed from a guitar amp through the PA. Vocals really hard to hear...

Music on this day Feb 28th
2008 Santana at Acer Arena, Homebush, Sydney.
First time seeing the Legend! Great show, lots of solos, improvs, percussion & the "pop" songs like Love Of My Life & Black Magic Woman.
Natalie Pa'apa'a from opener Blue King Brown guested on a track (She looked terrified!)

Music on this day Feb 27th
2013 Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds at The Concert Hall, Sydney Opera House, with members of The Sydney Symphony Orchestra & The Annandale Vocal Ensemble.

2009 A Robert Johnson Tribute Show at The Vanguard, Newtown, Sydney with Dom Turner, Ian Collard, Jeff Lang & Hat Fitz.

Music on this day Feb 32rd
2010 Mick Fleetwood Blues Band at South's Juniors, Kingsford, Sydney
As the label says, a Blues Band. Lead guitarist & vocalists (sorry can't remember his name), very good. Got a good, slightly side on view to see Mick play the drums. Some Fleetwood Mac songs, of course.

Music on this day Feb 21st
2009 Kaki King at The Basement, Sydney
Brilliant guitarist, one of those where you can't take you eyes off the guitar. Described on Wiki as percussive with jazz overtones, & yes, that works.
February 21, 2025 at 9:23 AM
Music on this day Feb 20th
2009 Five Peace Band (John McLaughlin & Chick Corea with Brian Blade, Christian McBride & Kenny Garrett) at The Concert Hall, Sydney Opera House.
Stunningly spectacular, from delicate solos to the beautiful chaos of arguing instruments....

Music on this day Feb 19th
2013 Father John Misty at The Metro, Sydney
A bit eccentric performance, but nice music, drawn to go see him because of his prior association with Fleet Foxes

2016 Dave Rawlings Machine at The Enmore Theate, Sydney, aka part 2 of the Gillian Welch & David Rawlings tour Down Under. They went up the coast as Gillian & Dave & came back down as Dave's Machine. This time with band, fiddle, bass, extra guitar & banjo.....
