Sunday evening I trucked it up to Saratoga to see Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Believe me, the drive did not compare to the time a group of us traveled via bus and maybe (?) train from groovy Greenwood Lake to the Nassau Coliseum to see the very same band. Yep, I'm an old school … Continue reading Don’t do me like that

The ABCs of DMB
Last weekend I took my 14 y/o to SPAC to see the Dave Matthews Band. Being the glutton I am, we went both cruelly cold nights.

Allman Brothers and Santana at SPAC – 7/27/12
I had a chance to finally get to a show last night at SPAC - first of the season. Despite all the rain we've had recently the lawn was in good shape and the crowd was definitely there to have a good time. The Allman Brothers sounded fantastic. Gregg's voice was in tip-top shape and … Continue reading Allman Brothers and Santana at SPAC – 7/27/12
