Phish: Hampton/Winston-Salem '97
by Doug Collette
Less than halfway through Phish's Hampton/Winston-Salem '97, it's very clear what distinguishes these shows, documented in this seven-CD box, as singular entries in the band's pantheon of concert performances. The funk pervading this music makes a consistent backdrop for lengthy improvisations, the likes of which merely sprawled earlier in the group's career. Entries like ...
The Allman Brothers Band: Boston MA , December 3, 2011
by Doug Collette
The Allman Brothers BandOrpheum TheatreBoston, MADecember 3, 2011 The Allman Brothers never disappoint. At the least, they are the epitome of professionalism in concert, and when they are inspired, as they sounded this fourth night at the Beantown venue, they (deeply) stir their audience and add to their own legacy, ...
Medeski Scofield Martin & Wood: In Case The World Changes Its Mind
by Doug Collette
In Case the World Changes Its Mind reaffirms the chemistry at the heart of the collaboration between nouveau-jazz trio Medeski Martin & Wood and guitarist extraordinaire, John Scofield. Hearing this live recording reveals the delicate, almost precarious, balance of factors that put them finely in tune with each other. Recorded on the 2006 tour ...
John Mayall: Live in London
by Doug Collette
Though John Mayall doesn't deign to call the unit that collaborates with him on Live in London “The Bluesbreakers," his current band is arguably as tight and sympathetic as any ensemble that's sported the moniker in the recent past. Fusing bassist Greg Rzab, drummer Jay Davenport and guitarist Rocky into a fluid ensemble, The Godfather of ...

Bob Seger: Live Bullet and Nine Tonight Reissues
by Doug Collette
After years as a regionally-based cult figure from Detroit, Bob Seger and his music didn't change all that dramatically, at least on the surface, when Night Moves (Capitol, 1975) launched him into the mainstream popularity he maintains to this day. He merely altered the emphasis he placed on ballads versus up-tempo material. That he ...
Rory Gallagher: Against The Grain and Calling Card Reissues
by Doug Collette
Guitarist Rory Gallagher produced (literally in most cases) a string of remarkably consistent studio albums during the course of a career that stretched from the early 1970s through to the 1990s. Eagle Records has reissued them all on compact disc and, though it's not wholly clear if the titles have been remastered again, and the pre-existing ...
