A “bucket list” show for me – I’ve been wanting to see Norah Jones live for quite a while. She opened her current tour here in Boston last week and my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed it. She is SUCH a great talent!

Denys Baptiste performing the music of John Coltrane at Pizza Express, Soho. Two sets, first set covered the early ‘60s and started with Naima. The second set was a Love Supreme in it’s entirety complete with a sax and drums ‘free’ session at the end.

Eric Clapton opening night of his 2024 tour at The Newcastle Arena.
Excellent performance but the acoustics in The Arena are not the best.
Nice to see a full and appreciable house for Andy Fairweather Low who was LOUD.
Hardly anyone watched his opening performance at he RAH last time round.

Did you get them from Tynemouth Market?
Arctic Monkeys at the London Emirates, good gig but crazy amount of echo in that stadium where we were. Looking forward to seeing bands at some more outdoor venues in the summer!

Phish at the Sphere in Vegas. A bit of a gamble as it was the first time I flew anywhere for a show (lazy music fan I guess) and wasn’t sure it would be worth it. Well, it was worth it. That venue is deeply impressive. The visuals are next level and just need to be experienced (the screen is 3.7 acres…), but the sound was an equal surprise. Stunning. I suspect it will only get better as bands and their production companies get it dialed in. Will I still appreciate the ‘standard’ Phish light show? Absolutely, but I’ll definitely try to catch another Sphere show when they return. It’s been a few weeks since the show, but it sticks with you.

Keane at the o2. Today, well yesterday. Very good. The Lathums in support were also very good.

Patitucci, Weckl & Calderazzo - Teatro Ristori, Verona, 15th May 2024
I’ve always liked Weckl and Patitucci, they formed a great trio with Chick Corea. I didn’t know what to expect with Calderazzo and it’s been quite a delightful surprise. Very engaging music with great rhythm, to my ears it seemed somehow closer to jazz fusion than I could have anticipated. The audience was really pleased. Highly recommended.

Katherine Priddy at the Union Chapel. She’s an excellent folk singer songwriter, supported by violin and electric guitar she gave a compelling set, followed by a much deserved standing ovation.

Bill Frisell @ Islington Assembly Rooms - Wednesday
Mike Stern @ Ronnie Scotts - Thursday
Both good gigs, however, would have been better suited if the venues were the other way round, i.e Bill @ Ronnies instead.
