Live Review - Crush ‘Crush 2019 Europe Tour’ - O2 Forum Kentish Town
For a performer to be considered great, they have to ensure that whenever they step foot on stage, they are more than just a studio musician. Some succeed at this, whilst others fail, with reasons for either varying depending on the circumstance. It’s never a fun thing to see an artist you enjoy fail to captivate you in person, but the exhilaration of someone you admire proving their worth in a live-setting is something hard to match.

Dylan in Concert at Beacon
Well, Dylan last night at the Beacon in New York City did not look all that much like the sketch above, which hangs in Old Bear Studios in Batavia, New York, where I recorded my first new album in nearly 50 years a few weeks ago (details here). Nor did he sound all that much like he did in the early-mid sixties, either. Not even like the Dylan who sang at George Harrison's Bangladesh concert at Madison Square Garden in 1971. Not even like the Dylan who sang a verse of "My Back Pages" at the 30th anniversary concert in 1993, also at the Garden, with every conceivable Dylan-related singer and guitarist right there on stage with him and loving it.

Within Temptation in Concert
One of the many things I wanted to do on my wishlist was to see Within Temptation in concert. Last weekend on the 10th of November this became a reality. I would say that Within Temptation were in my top 5 favourite bands of all time for sure. I own all their albums and enjoy them all. I have a real soft spot for their early albums like Mother Earth and The Silent Force. Discovering their debut album and first EP, Enter and The Dance was one of my favourite discoveries.

Getting the Most Out of Your Next Concert
Turn your research into a reality. If you are anything like me, you are already thinking ahead to the next concert you’ll be going to see. Maybe you’ve already bought your tickets months ahead of time. Maybe you’re waiting until the very last minute to get tickets. Either way, you probably want to have as much fun as possible while you’re at the show.

I Got Into a Sold Out Concert. Here’s How It Happened.. Top Story - November 2018.
If there’s one thing I’m terrible at, it’s planning my weekend schedule. When it comes to events I want to go to, I often will forget to buy tickets until the day of the concert. If I don’t forget, I tend to have bad luck and often will log on at a time where tickets have all but sold out.

And in the Death of Her Reputation, She Felt Truly Alive
In light of Taylor Swift winning three awards at the American Music Awards last week, I thought it was a perfect time to revisit the time I *finally* saw her perform live. This night ended up being one of many nights on a sold-out tour that crushed all previous stadium tour records by a female solo artist in history.

Elton John at Nassau Coliseum
Tina and I were on our feet for most of Elton John's fabulous Farewell Yellow Brick Road Concert at the Nassau Coliseum last night. This is the third retiring tour concert we've been to in the past few weeks—Paul Simon and Joan Baez were the previous—and each was superb and special in its own way.

The Ultimate Concert Guide. Top Story - September 2018.
I may only be 15, but I consider myself quite the avid concert go-er. I've been to about 14 concerts (although I probably left out one or two), and a variety of venues; whether it's a stadium, an amphitheater, or a smaller indoor venue I've seen it all.
