Yep @jafant, there are a couple I missed: Elvis and Moby Grape.
I got to see and hear some of the old guys before they died, like Albert King and Big Joe Turner (his band that night were The Blasters. Dave Alvin was still in the band, and blowing tenor sax was Lee Allen, heard on all the 1950's Little Richard recordings. Fantastic!).
I also got to experience Little Richard's label-mates on Specialty Records, Don (Sugarcane Harris) & Dewey. And that night I had what Levon Helm called "the best seat in the house" : on the drum riser behind them. ;-) |

Dylan turns 80 in a few days. I sure hope he tours in 2022 !!!
Is there a major artist/band that you have not seen on concert?
Happy Listening! |

Progressive Bluegrass usually has the drummer playing a Snare drum with a brush (my fave combination). Good to read the new JH release is a keeper.
Happy Listening! |
@thepigdog: Right you are. Some of Jerry’s albums are what I call Progressive Bluegrass---mostly instrumental, all the musicians of virtuoso caliber, the playing very Jazz influenced. I saw him and his band live a few years back in Portland, and the music that night was Progressive in nature. I prefer his work as a sideman, accompanying a singer. Plus, I love vocal harmonies, usually absent in Progressive Bg. |
The Jerry Douglas Band however usually has a drummer. Doug Belote. @bdp24 |

Thank You for the extra Dylan suggestions.

Thank You for the new JH report. Happy Listening! |
Yeah @thepigdog, drums aren’t employed in hardcore Bluegrass music and bands. The mandolin player provides the 2/4 backbeat by playing accented staccato downward strokes in place of a snare drum. I’m real glad Marty Stuart breaks that rule, having the fantastic drummer Harry Stinson in his band The Fabulous Superlatives.
UPS was scheduled to deliver my copy of the Barnes & Noble exclusive version (signed cover, black & gray splatter vinyl) of the Hiatt/Douglas LP today, but it's now delayed until Monday. |
@bdp24 I’m listening to John Hiatt & Jerry Douglas Band now. & liking what I hear. on CD. NO DRUMS! |
Now THAT should be interesting @jafant! I didn't much care for Joan Osborne's Dylan-song album, but Maria Muldaur's Heart Of Mine is pretty good
Graham Nash quit The Hollies after unsuccessfully attempting to talk them out of doing an album of all Dylan songs. I guess Graham didn't want to be in a Dylan Tribute Band. ;-) |
