  • Corey's Top 10 2018 Concerts
    Corey's Top 10 2018 Concerts As 2018 ends and we look forward to 2019, I share my top ten concerts for the past year. This represents the eighth installment in this “series.” This past year, my wife me joined for six of shows that I include this year. I averaged almost two shows a month (I’d prefer more.) Several – including many good ones not on this list – featured multiple artists who could headline in their own right; that certainly made the overall experience closer to the feel attending something 30 to 40 shows when the actually number of shows totaled 23. The other nice factoid because it rarely works out that way involved how many shows (including a few not reviewed here) involved real faves of this commentator; this includes probably the five top artists I follow (though in three cases not with the original bands that caused me to follow their music. 1) I grew up loving the music of Creedence Clearwater Revival. That means songs written, and/ or arranged, produced and sung by one John C. Fogerty. Those songs rock and the solo stuff just follow with the standard John set with CCR. His band is great and includes his son Shane on 2nd guitar. Indeed, family seemed to be a common theme in a number of great shows I took in this year. It was certainly the best performance I ever experienced to date (and I blogged as such), not just by John, and no offense to other artists who really sang and played their hearts out at other shows I saw.

  • Roger Mcguinn's Thunderbyrd „Rockpalast: Westcoast Legends
    Roger McGuinn’s Thunderbyrd „Rockpalast: Westcoast Legends Vol. 4“ Elisabeth Richter Hildesheimer Straße 83 30169 Hannover GERMANY Tel.: 0049‐511‐806916‐16 Fax: 0049‐511‐806916‐29 Cell: 0049‐177‐7218403 elisabeth.richter@mig‐music.de VÖ: 30.07.2010 DVD Cat. No.: MIG 90317 Format: DVD/Digi Genre: Rock EIGHT MILES HIGH Ein historisches Datum: In der Nacht vom 23. auf den 24. Juli 1977 ging die erste Rockpalast-Nacht über die Bühne der Grugahalle in Essen. Die Sensation: Sie wurde LIVE im ERSTEN (ARD) übertragen, 7 europäische Länder übernahmen schon dieses erste Programm über Eurovision. Sie wussten nicht, was auf sie zu kam, fanden aber die Idee einer Nacht mit live gespielter Rockmusik einfach gut. Zehn Jahre und siebzehn Nächte lang blieb das dann so. Zwei Mal im Jahr hieß es: Tagesschau, Wetterkarte, Wort zum Sonntag, Eurovisions-Fanfare, Rockpalast. Primetime live, Ende offen und mit parallelem Stereoton im Radio. Das war, als die öffentlich-rechtlichen Sender noch „alleinerziehend“ waren, und der Westdeutsche Rundfunk (WDR) machte es möglich. Die erste Nacht begann mit vollen Konzerten von RORY GALLAGHER und LITTLE FEAT. Die Auswahl war programmatisch: Nicht die „Charts“ waren die Richtschnur, sondern „Musik, die ins Herz traf“, ganz egal, wo sie „notiert“ war. Und dann – tief in der Nacht – das geniale Konzert von ROGER McGUINN’S THUNDERBYRD. Ich hatte mit Rory Gallagher’s Bruder Dónal die Idee, es Bob Dylan gleich zu tun, dessen „Rolling Thunder Revue“ – eine Tournee (1975/1976) mit Freunden –unsere Fantasie beschäftigte. Wir stellten uns ein europäisches Pendant vor mit RORY im Mittelpunkt. Das war dann so nicht zu realisieren, aber aus dieser Idee ergab sich die Einladung an ROGER McGUINN.
