I turned 50 years old without growing up (and now I don't have to). How to celebrate this milestone in my life? How about Jamaica? How about Dark Star Orchestra? How about Jam In The Sand? #mid life crisis - #no savings left 6 months on

The sound and mix are almost ‘absolutely perfect‘ on this matrix recording. It’s difficult to pick out highlights because everything is played so well; the band are tight, Donna is great and the set list is strong. If I have one criticism, it is that there

Arguably The Grateful Dead’s finest tour. An argument evidenced by the fact that the whole tour was released as a box set and as individual concerts. 22 gigs and less than a handful that slips down into the “average” category (Lyceum, London springs to mind as being a bit flat) and rather bizarrely

Now, those of you that know me will be thinking ‘What is so strange about that?’, even the wife calls me a miserable old git and not just for taking the merry out of Christmas. Anyway, I got to thinking why, and

On this tour of Europe, two concerts in France were cancelled due to poor ticket sales (what do the French know

It’s not as bad as I first thought. However……. Good stuff – Nothing really. Bad stuff – This is a big venue ( 50,000 according to Bobby ) and because of

A lot! I burnt this to CD 7-8 years ago along with hundreds of other gigs and this was my first listen to it. After my first go, I thought ‘was that, really that good?’. So, I played it again just to be sure. It really was that good so I
