Yussuf aka Cat Stevens yesterday in the Königs Pilsener Arena in Oberhausen. And while I found it somehow ironic that Yussuf Islams played at an arena that bears the name of a local beer brand the concert was most magnificent. Very charming, charismatic man that still has a great and unique voice. Obviously he does not sings those anymore that are more or less about the love between a man and a woman - no Rubylove, no Another saturday night, no Hard-Headed woman, but even though he's become a muslim he obviously still loves his dog

I'm confused. Why would a Muslim man not sing about love or a hard headed woman?

And what exactly, or who, is his "dog"?

There was an interview on German TV where he mentioned that he deems certain songs not appropriate anymore for a muslim including some about the more physical aspects of love. Ask him why. I am no expert on islam.

Well last night I went to see Adam Ant, who has recently started his first proper UK tour for, I believe, 15 years.

At the little venue just up the road. Wasn't sure what exactly to expect, but the tickets proved too tempting not to buy.

And actually, I have to say, he put on an excellent show. Onstage for almost two hours (including two encores), he still has the dancing and the attitude, dressed in piratical fashion, and seemed to be really enjoying himself too. Looks good for his age, especially considering all the problems he's had over the years. Venue was sold out and packed full. He's got together an accomplished new backing band with a couple of lovely female singers, which he's catchily named The Good, The Mad & The Lovely Posse. 'Twas hot and sweaty, raunchy and rude, and all in all a pretty entertaining evening.

Main support was from a young punky London band called Krakatoa, who also had the attitude and a good bunch of songs. They're well worth the money if you ever get the chance to see them.

Ironically, the band the Sex Pistols was "supporting" when I saw them at the 100 Club in May 1976 was a raunch 'n' rawk outfit also called Krakatoa.

I just found out that Steve Earle is touring with the DUKES again this summer...and playing a lovely theater 45 minutes away from me. Yay! I've been dying to see Steve play electric again since I saw him with the Dukes in 2000 or so.

My own olde-timey/lefty/folky outfit the Heggs has back-to-back gigs this weekend, Friday at a bar within crawling distance and Saturday at an Arts Festival up the road a bit. Yay, and yay again!

He's coming to my town too, also in a lovely venue. We've already got tickets and will see him in about ... well exactly a month. Also will get to see James McMurtry for the first time this summer.

Unfortunately I will miss a bevy of good shows this summer, but I guess I'll be happy with what I get.

Am going to see the Slackers again (fifth time?) on Friday in Stuttgart. Just bought a ticket for the only club show (also Stuggi) in Germany by the Mighty Mighty Bosstones. And maybe the Specials in Munich...
I'd love to get to see Brian Setzer with his Rockabilly Riot, but I can't make any of his dates :-(

Think i posted somewhere else on here... it's now the "Dukes & Duchesses", hold on, i'll link it.... wait, can't figure that out. Oh well, i said ...

Just got us 2 tix for Steve Earle, June 26 here in Vancouver.

It's billed as "Steve Earle & the Dukes & Duchesses ft. Allison Moorer", which is a bit wordy, and also an indication that the lineup has changed since he last toured with The Dukes, several years ago. (Original Blackheart & Del Lord) Eric Amble is out, but the band now features former Son Volt guitarist Chris Masterson, with his wife Eleanor Whitmore on fiddle. Earle's wife Moorer on keys, also i'm guessing guitar & vocals.

No word on whether the rhythm section has changed. Kelly Looney has played bass for years, but Earle goes through drummers the way some people go through socks, but the last one was Will Rigby.

I love Steve Earle, but have always thought he could do better on the rhythm sections. He had Brady Blade on loan from Emmylou Harris' band for one tour, and he was smoking - esp. as it was with the Mark Stuart & David Steele on guitars, what a line up that was. I'm excited for the electric band with fiddle, though.

That's hilarious, i scrolled back (apparently not very carefully), searched, and finally trolled through "view your posts" to find it. Then couldn't figure how to link it (is that just a url link people use to link posts?). I like to do things The Hard Way (speaking of Steve Earle...)

Got tix for June 24 with Mrs. Avalanche. Cant wait!
