The Best Of 2015: Concerts Through February 28th, 2015
Second Best Concert Of The Century
D’Angelo – February 7th – The Apollo – On Friday, February 12th, 2012, I witnessed Aretha Franklin honor her recently deceased Goddaughter whitney Houston at radio City Music Hall, part pop manifesto, part revival meeting, the queen of soul sublimated her pain in song and worship. It was the best show I’ve seen this century. And D’Angelo at the Apollo was the second best show I’ve seen this century.
Wussy – January 17th – Studio At Webster Hall – I thought these indie rockers from Cincinatti were great at the time and I thought they were greater when I thought back on it. Essentially, they are a midwestern Shellshag who didn’t make it through the long run as a couple have lived to explain the pitfalls and disasters of romantic love and this night played em down to the ground. “You guys are killer,” Lisa walker claimed. So is she.
Jack White – Madison Square Garden – January 30th – white is so very weird he makes me sound weird when I write about him, he brings out the bipolar hate the someone but love the sound and watch white hit it and hit it and hit it with sterling silver guitar car crashed: it is like ramming a Lamborghini into an electric fence and what can be wrong with that?
