Review:
Corey Harris is an acoustic-based blues guitarist and was a nice opener. DMB did what was apparently the last performance of “Don’t Burn The Pig” during a full band show according to antsmarching.org

Review:
I don’t know why I liked this album so much beyond the single, but I did. But I really liked them live. Too bad the next album flopped and they were gone.

Review:
A second year of H.O.R.D.E. and I was looking forward too it. Going from main stage to side stage and back again, and Blues Traveler was the star of the show.

Review:
Never before or since have I been to a show where they kept the house lights on for the entire show out of concern for the GA floor. Say what you will about Rage, but they absolutely crush it live.

Tori Amos with Josh Clayton-Felt at Filene Center at Wolf Trap, Vienna, VA, USA
Review:
Seeing Tori for a second time this year was no chore. After opening with “Beauty Queen -> Horses” again, it was a completely different setlist with a nice mix off all three albums, with great covers of “Let It Be” and “Purple Rain”.

Tracy Chapman had major hits with her debut album, but another big hit with “Give Me One Reason”. Heather and I went to this show and loved her.
