At the tiny Gramercy Theatre, Saturday June 21st. (see here) Cliff Richard promises an intimate New York City gig to make up for Morrissey canceling the Barclay Center Show Cliff was meant to be supporting. I haven’t seen Cliff for FIFTY YEARS, so it as big as big can get for me. To my mind, the man has had one of the great careers and this is the show of the week at the very least.
Monday – Journey And Steve Miller Band – Jones Beach – Fine, but without Steve Perry? Is it worth it? Actually with Steve…?
Tuesday – Idina Menzel – Radio City Music Hall – I’m a betting man, ya thunk she sings “Let It Go”? Wanna bet?
Tuesday – The National – Prospect Park Bandshell – They were pretty damn good when I saw em last year at Barclays.
Tuesday – Summerland Tour 2014 – Everclear, Soul Asylum, Eve 6 and Spacehog – the bloke from Everclear was a dick when Helen interviewed him for us.
Tuesday – Hank III – Gramercy Theater – Since we can’t see Senior…
Tuesday – Ian McLagan – Iridium – His small face is a little longer but he is still one of the greats.
Wednesday – Lindsey Stirling – A one person Clean Bandit whose new album kinda stiffed.
Wednesday – Jungle – Bowery Ballroom – Hotter than hell UK dance band, sold out
Wednesday – Ringo Starr – Beacon Theatre – Played with the greatest pop band of all time
Thursday – Dead Kennedys – Irving Plaza – Plus Reagan Youth, I just wish the Daughters of Barack were on the bill as well.
Saturday – Diana Ross – Theatre At Madison Square Garden – The theatre and not sold out? Does that mean the 1980s are over?
Sunday – Backstreet Boys – Jones Beach – The 1D of their generation, almost, NSync beat em to it
Sunday – Dave Chapelle – Radio City Music Hall – Sunday and I didn’t get a musical guest and watching the Bronx Block party movie, I thought he was a little drab. But he has the potentially to put on one of the biggest shows of all time, like legendary.
