(<a href=\"https:\/\/robertplant.warnerreprise.com\/\">https:\/\/robertplant.warnerreprise.com\/<\/a>) While live, the line up rocked the venue with new and old favorites, the CD shows the softer, even romantic side of Plant. \u00a0His vocal range is as strong as ever and he continues to stretch himself as an artist, never failing to delight and surprise.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">October 25 2013<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Moody Blues, San Francisco, CA, Nob Hill Masonic Center<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">It was an evening full of magic. \u00a0The music was all we expected: pure Moody Blues with favorites from the early days, new releases and some solo hits from Justin Hayward.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">The \u201cMoodies\u201d themselves were in full voice and spot on and gave full measure in a 2-hour concert.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">The Masonic Center is a \u00a0lovely venue with a wide stage and roomy seats. \u00a0Unfortunately, We had to leave our seats during the first set. Seats which the theater should never have sold: behind the PA where no music could be heard. They also were not the seats we bought through the venue webpage. \u00a0After a complaint to the staff, we were offered no recompense or alternate seating. \u00a0This was a serious failing on the part of the box office.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">November 22, 2013<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Rokia\u00a0Traor\u00e9 San Francisco, CA: Nourse Theatre<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Gifted suddenly with front row center seats for Malian musician, Rokia Traor\u00e9, to say that I jumped up and down with delight is an understatement. Rewarded with an evening of music from the 2013 release Beautiful Africa, Ms. Traor\u00e9 allowed the music to flow and develop with perfect grace as she brought her presence and her depth of musicianship to a packed theater of fans.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Rokia Traor\u00e9 and her band, in a word: rocked.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">May 25 2014<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">CD Release: The Sky at Dawn with Diana Rowan and Pezhham Akhavass, house concert, Berkeley, CA<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Tombak &amp; Harp Duo<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">A musical \u00a0journey from Iran to Ireland combining Celtic harp and Persian tombak.

We were well rewarded: this was one of the very best showings of this iconic band in years. Reminiscent in energy and musicianship, of the halcyon years when Yes filled stadiums: \u00a0\u00a0The current members rocked the place with old favorites from <em>Close to the Edge<\/em> and <em>Fragile<\/em>, and new material from Heaven and Earth. Ending the evening with an encore of <em>All Good People<\/em> and <em>Owner of a Lonely Heart<\/em> the enthusiastic audience sang and danced along with the band. \u00a0The highlight of the evening was <em>South Side of the Sky<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Front man Jon Davison brought a spirited performance to the stage with competent, lyrical interpretations of both the classic material and the new works (which he has had major input into composing). \u00a0His enormous talent, enthusiasm, and obvious love for Yes\u2019 music made him a true delight to watch. Bassist Chris Squire continues to enchant audiences with his masterful musicianship, and, on this night, his sense of humor as he winked, smiled, and even flirted with the audience. His solo work literally rumbled the building with the power of The Famous Rickenbacker. \u00a0Steve Howe proved once again that the guitar is, in his hands, a magical instrument that will ever soar to new heights and explore new territories: be it a 12 string acoustic, electric, a slide &#8211; or, in fact, a mandolin. \u00a0Geoff Downes has settled into the ensemble with his own brand of keyboard interpretations and his influence is felt, like all the keyboard players who took this position before him, in the works presented. \u00a0Alan White continues his steady, grounding presence with the &#8211; often difficult and demanding &#8211; percussion. A wonderful evening for all.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">This concert was streamed live and \u00a0a replay was available on Yahoo! Screen for 24 hours only, on 20 August 2014.

Unfortunately, while the sound mix in the venue was well done, it was not done correctly by the Yahoo! technicians, who relied heavily on the vocals while under-presenting the instrumentals. This unfortunate mistake was particularly noticeable in the \u201cclassic\u201d pieces where the vocals are arranged as an instrument in the mix rather than as the focus of the composition. This was a failure on the part of the Yahoo! technicians.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">September 17, 2014<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Ian Anderson, Fox Theatre, Oakland, CA.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">The first set featured Anderson\u2019s new work. \u00a0It resembled an evening lecture on the history of the British Isles and lacked much of the energy of his earlier works.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">The second set featured classic Tull. The band rocked and the house danced, clapped, and sang along. Anderson can no longer reach the higher range of his early work (alas &#8211; it happens to the best as the years commence) and with grace, \u2026 and, intelligence, a younger singer with a strong voice and feel for the music stepped in many times during the concert. Anderson is to be commended for this choice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">For this reviewer, this performance was fundamentally flawed: the tight sync between the re-mastered video and the vocals were over-rehearsed and lacked the spontaneity and passion that one expects in a live performance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">\u2026 to be continued next issue \u2026.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Year of Music \u00a0 by Lezlie Kinyon, Ph.D. \u00a0ed. \u00a0 This has been a year and some of live music for me.
