| Best CONCERTS of 2012? Ryan Adams didn't mention any hearing issues. However, he did mention his fondness for death metal more than once. As noted, his set was acoustic, so the SPLs were not an issue. Unlike Lindsey Buckingham (who mainly fingerpicked his songs and stru... | |
| Best CONCERTS of 2012? I was at the "This is 40" soundtrack release party last night at The Roxy, a small club on LA's Sunset Strip. The main act was Graham Parker & The Rumour who did a great 2 hour show. The first half featured lots of new material and was a littl... |
