My daughter and I saw Soundgarden at the Fox Theater in Atlanta 2 weeks before Chris Cornell died. She has been in mourning since.
I would've given a finger or a toe to see Chanté Moore perform any track from A Love Supreme (I'd pass out if she sang "Thank You for Loving Me" live). Even though I overwhelmingly prefer Howard Hewett with his band mates in Shalamar, I'd reckon his performance wasn't too shabby either. Dru Hill performing "Beauty" from 1998's Enter the Dru would've been the icing on the cake.June 24, 2017, McMenamins Crystal Ballroom, Portland OR

Went to the Garbage/Blondie/X concert a couple of nights ago. Garbage and X (well, it was just John and Exene) were great. Blondie was less impressive, but still enjoyable enough.
Opening act was John Darnielle's band, "The Mountain Goats"- an unusual indie folk band. I thought they were great and would see them again in a minute. They are doing a swing though the upper mid-west right now. Des Moines, IA tonight and St. Paul, MN tomorrow. Darnielle was having fun through the whole show, and made lots of references to Pro Wrestling for some reason... A highlight for me was the playing of Matt Douglas. Guitars, Keyboards, Woodwinds - the guy played everything!
