Live Music Blog’s Best of 2012: Concerts, Albums, Artists and More (Part Two)
Last week, we rolled out Part One of LMB's Best of 2012 feature, highlighting this year's noteworthy albums (Tame Impala's Lonerism, Jack White's Blunderbuss and Alt-J's An Awesome Wave), artists (Alabama Shakes & Father John Misty) live moments (Phish Dick's 8/31/12, MMJ's 3-night LA "no repeats run" & Sigur Ros... more
Live Music Blog’s Best of 2012: Concerts, Albums, Artists and More (PART ONE)
While there's still plenty of live music magic yet to be made, the end is near and 2012 will be in the rear view in five short weeks. Furthermore, December is generally a skinny month for studio releases (although Big Boi's Vicious Lies & Dangerous Rumors drops on 12/11) so... more
CONCERT RECAP: Grace Potter and the Nocturnals & Nicki Bluhm and The Gramblers @ Wiltern LA 11/2/12
Grace Potter and the Nocturnals played to a packed Wiltern in the midst of her Fall “all request” tour. The generous set was in the audience’s sweet spot with many sing-alongs that had GP working the front of the pit to connect with as many fans as she could. Potter... more
CONCERT RECAP: Delta Spirit @ The Wiltern, Los Angeles, CA 11/8/12
As is often the case in this town at a weeknight show, the crowd in the pristine Wiltern seemed a tad reserved, subdued and depraved of energy for the first 1/3 of the 90-minute show. However, from the get go, any lack of energy on the floor or up in... more
VIDEO WRAPUP: My Morning Jacket’s Three Night Wiltern LA Run
The super fan-stoking level of intrigue provided by My Morning Jacket's Spontaneous Curation Series Tour perhaps reached its apex during last week's three-night run at The Wiltern in Los Angeles. Luckily, Angelenos apparently know a thing or two about holding a (somewhat) steady camera and the sheer amount of solid... more
SETLIST: My Morning Jacket @ The Wiltern, Los Angeles, CA 9/13/12
My Morning Jacket wrapped up one helluva 3-night run tonight at The Wiltern in Los Angeles, capping off the stay on Western and Wilshire with a huge exclamation point. Tonight's festivities got off-the-ground considerably faster than the previous two nights, right from the get-go with "At Dawn" and "The Dark."... more
SETLIST: My Morning Jacket @ The Wiltern, Los Angeles, CA 9/12/12
The 3-night no-rules, no-repeats run at Los Angeles' Wiltern continued tonight with a considerably mellower version of My Morning Jacket (compared to last night) that included a guest spot by Sam Beam of Iron & Wine for George Harrison's "Isn't It A Pity" during a lengthier-than-usual encore. While not reaching... more
CONCERT RECAP: My Morning Jacket @ The Wiltern, Los Angeles, CA 9/11/12
Maybe I'm feeling the effects of an after show glow, but this one may belong in the same conversation with some of the more standout shows from MMJ's storied 14-year history. After a none-too-special start, the band ripped through "Lay Low" and barraged the place with a dark, heavy, all... more
LMB LA: Weekend Live Music Calendar (Playboy Jazz, Poor Man’s Whiskey, Mayer Hawthorne)
Lots to choose from this weekend whether you decide to head up the Hollywood Bowl for the 34th Annual Playboy Jazz Festival, down to Mayer Hawthorne tonight at The Wiltern, cozy in with some Saturday night bluegrass by Poor Man's Whiskey at The Mint, or wherever your live music endeavors... more
VIDEOS/WORDS: Deerhunter – The Wiltern – Los Angeles, CA – 8/9/11
Adjust yer eyes to the state of things I arrived solo on Tuesday night still in a zombie daze from Monday night's Phish show, and posted up on the 2nd tier of the floor to watch former LCD Soundsystem touring member and mad scientist David Scott Stone dazzle away on a... more
Widespread Panic – The Wiltern – 7/14/11 – Photos, Videos, Setlist & Review
Karma-Gettin' Having never seen Widespread Panic west of the great city of New Orleans over the course of the last decade, I wasn't exactly sure what to expect from the crowd inside the beautiful Wiltern on the uneasy eve of the overhyped Carmageddon (hype in LA, shocker), and whether this... more
