Nabbed tix to see Leo Kottke in Boulder tonight. I first saw Kottke around 1975 or 76 in Fort Worth & have been a big fan ever since. Heâs an amazing guitarist & quite funny live. He influenced me to play & write songs in 12-string open tuning. I cover a few of his songs in a simplified dumbed down kind of arrangement.

Paul McCartney is coming to the desert. His only show in California.
Debbie and I thought... Why not?
Pre- sale sold out immediately. With the cheap $300 tickets going for $1300.
General tickets went on sale two days later for $1300.
Nope.

I saw McCartney in the mid-2000âs in Denver, orchestra center seats. Paul & the band were in top form, an unforgettable show. Judging from his performance on the SNL 50th anniversary show, Iâm satisfied with the memory of the show I saw, I donât think he can equal it now. That said, having gone through Beatlemania in 62-64 while living as youngster in Germany after they broke out of Hamburg, then catching it again after moving stateside in mid-64, Iâve been a rabid fan virtually all my life. Iâm grateful for the McCartney show I saw & for him still be out in that long & winding road. Ringo too. If only John & George were still with us.

I personally have zero interest in what Yes are doing or not doing but some acts refuse to do their biggest hits (Ministry "Every Day is Halloween") was a thorn in Al's side for decades and Jonathan Richman never does "Roadrunner" and a few people leave their shows pissed off and the band cheats (some of) their biggest fans out of the thing that would bring them the most joy. So I don't really understand it. It's like a bar deciding not to serve beer because they're just so tired of serving beer.

Yes I understand the song usually comes from an entirely different band/person/time than where the artist is currently. Some of us go to shows to be a part of the newest thing, but most of us also want to be transported back to that place. I guess that's why some bands do a medley of 3 or 4 of their big hits then go on with the rest of the show.

There's your problem, right there...

Fripp wrote about this extensively and his usual reply when someone says âyou didnât do what I wantâ is to reply âlooks like itâs time for you to move on.â

Saw Toddâs âUnpredictableâ show and at the beginning he told us to not yell requests because then he certainly wouldnât do it. So I immediately yelled âHello itâs meâ. Didnât work.

Todd did shows last year that only included a few of his more well known songs and there were some of his devoted fans who were not enamored. He is doing another tour like that this year. I liked the show I saw (although I was slightly miffed with the exclusion of Just One Victory) and will be going again this year. I get what you are saying. The thing is, many of these performers have been out there playing for 40-50 years and they have a lot of songs and a lot of fan favorites. There are going to be disappointments. I can see both sides. Personally, I like to see a balance.
