All this great music is happening in the states! I've gradually accepted the fact that I missed 7 (yes, 7) doable Umphrey's Mcgee shows. Phish reuinted this past weekend in Virginia for three fantastic shows, their first together in almost 5 years. Meanwhile, Joshua Redman (fantastic tenor saxophonist) and Brad Mehldau (perhaps the best "new" jazz pianist touring) are both headed to the Dakota jazz club in the middle of my Minneapolis neighborhood. Closer to Saint Cloud, Mister is playing electric shows, which can only lead to trouble (of the best kind). Here are a few scenes I wish I could have been a part of...
Night 1 of the Phish reunion.
It's good to have these guys back. I can't wait until I finally make the trip to Wisconsin for two nights of the best improvisation based rock on the planet.
The line for Umphrey's McGee's three night run in Minneapolis. Trust that I would have been at the very front the entire weekend.
That's it for now. I'm not really regretting being here instead of in the states......it's just times like these that try my soul...
best love,
Scott
