Tribute: The Greatest Concert Ever: Aretha Franklin At Radio City Music Hall, Friday, February 17th, 2012, Reviewed
Music, religion, grieving, more music, transcendence, hope, memory, faith, soul . Some people need to mourn in private, Aretha had said. Some people ned to mourn with people. She needed to mourn with people.
Things To Do At A Tony Bennet Concert When You're Dead
Meanwhile, opening act Tony’s daughter Antoinette, rehearsing for her “Memories Of My Father” concert at Cafe Carlyle in a decade or so, might have been sucked or not. I heard some chuckling here and there
Leonard Cohen At Radio City Music Hall, Saturday, April 6th, 2013, Reviewed
Not every day you get to see a Zen Buddhist Monk enthrall a sold our Radio City Music Hall. Not every singer songwriter’s grandfather was the founding president of the Canadian Jewish Congress. And not every poet can write a lyric like “from the wars against disorder, from the sirens night and day, from the fires of the homeless, and the ashes of decay, democracy is coming to the USA”
Martina McBride At Radio City Music Hall, Thursday, October 25th, 2012, Reviewed
She had everyone up and dancing throughout the 2 hours. It was an amazing night with an amazing performer!
Morrissey At Radio City Music Hall, Wednesday, October 10th, 2012 Reviewed
Morrissey was great while his set wasn’t great. Morrissey got to that place where his art was transmigrated into pure feelings even on a song not amongst his best.
Two Nights In September At Radio City Music Hall With Jack White OR How I Spent Two And A Quarter Hours Of My Life
If Jack White at Radio City Music Hall, either night, isn’t enough, then don’t fool yourself, you don’t love rock and roll
David Byrne And St. Vincent At Radio City Music Hall, Wednesday, September 26th, 2012, Reviewed
The odd couple at the center, artist errant Byrne, and Polyphonic art rock Annie Clark (who goes by the name of St. Vincent, though not when David is announcing her), would seem to share only a certain obtuseness.
Grizzly Bear At Radio City Music Hall, Monday, September 27th, 2012, Reviewed
It sounded great, but except for the light show, it was all a little boring. Like listening to classical music, opera is fun, classical, all people do is stand around and play and essentially that’s all the Brooklyn based experimental indie rock band does.
Anais Mitchell At Radio City Music Hall, Thursday, September 20th, 2012, Reviewed
Anais directs a full band and the sound doesn’t need fleshing out, it is tuneful and deep, and a fine opening for her friend Justin, who actually played sang on her last album. Justin’s girl Kathleen Edwards also comes to mind, though Anais isn’t as playful, maybe the big stage is making her a little jittery
Bon Iver At Radio City Music Hall, Thursday, September 20th, 2012, Reviewed
In a breathtakingly beautiful and powerful 90 minute set, Bon Iver rebooted the franchise and Justin Vernon shrugged off his Nick Drake with worse songs but a better voice, and emerged as a serious front man and rock and roll star.

Lady Antebellum Radio City Music Hall Friday, May 4, 2012
Weird to see them on a HUGE stage when just a few years ago they were on the stage at Joe’s Pub! They were a lot of fun but it felt very staged. That they moved from place to place on cue.
Blood Orange, Radio City Music Hall, Tuesday May 8, 2012, Reviewed
From my mid Hall seats, Blood Orange failed to do much visually, besides twiddle knobs, spank his synth and play electric guitar to his back up tapes. But his songs are so great, he still managed to impress with. completely new to me, songs off last years Coastal Grooves floored me
Florence +the Machine Radio City Music Hall Tuesday May 8, 2012, Reviewed
She can’t dance, she can’t even move very well, and she can only command the stage through her voice. I don’t think it was an off night but I do think she was being very careful and it inhibited her performance.
Barry Manilow At Radio City Music Hall, Wednesday, May 2nd, 2012 Reviewed
In the 1970s, Barry had five top ten albums -AT THE SAME TIME, so, yeah, he has a huge catalog and except for holding back “Mandy”, “Copacabana” and “I write The Songs” to the end he is very generous with it.
Jeffrey Lewis And The Junkyard At Radio City Music Hall, Wednesday, April 11th, 2012, Reviewed
terrific, inventive, wildly literate and amusing and scary nyc disapora track after another is nothing but a revelation : no, not Dylan, it’s like he is expanding on Lou Reed’s masterpiece New York, without Robert Quine.
Pulp At Radio City Music Hall, Wednesday, April 11th, 2012, Reviewed
Britpop was to the British Invasion what Tony Blair was to Socialism. And Pulp were the Kinks of britpop.
Amnesty International's "The Policeman's Ball" At Radio City Music Hall, Sunday, March 4th, 2012 Reviewed
I know I’ve said lots of mean things about the band, but I have never said they’re bad live. Martin is energetic and handsome, all three songs were good, especially “Viva La Vida”.
TV On The Radio At Radio City Music Hall, Thursday, April 13th, 2011
it was really very good
