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.....

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!

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

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

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......

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.

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

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...

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!)

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.

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.

Stunningly spectacular, from delicate solos to the beautiful chaos of arguing instruments....

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
