Metallica played 222 shows on the Damaged Justice tour. I was lucky enough to see 3 of them in SLC, Long Island, and Seattle. New Substack post on what it was like to see the same show three times as a teenager and have it hit different every time.

Albert Ayler changed the way I listened to music. A day of listening to honor what would have been his 90th birthday.

Pixies playing “Trompe Le Monde” on Letterman in Feb 1992. This was their US network TV debut. What an amazing, weird song to play, and with the full Letterman band. I count 4 guitars, and Paul and Sid’s solos are bonkers.

My buddy, Marc Edwards sent me this video playing with the Carla Bley Band at the Umbria Jazz, Festival 1978. What an amazing tour this was.

1/2 The time I saw Rahsaan Roland Kirk play at the old Jazz Workshop in Boston. The band was playing a tune and Rahsaan was leading the audience clapping on two and four. He hears one guy toward the back clapping on one and three. With three horns around his neck and his stick...
