Concert Revue: Lindsey Buckingham performs at The Warner Theatre

Lindsey Buckingham comes to Washington to support his Solo Anthology

October 21, 2018 Jeff Talbert Music Reviews

Friday, October 19th Lindsey Buckingham performed at the Warner Theatre in Washington D.C. to support the release of new Solo Anthology: The Best of Lindsey Buckingham CD Set. The Warner Theatre was filled with fans whose excitement to see Lindsey live was evident all night long.

I will admit, I am a big Lindsey Buckingham fan. I first saw him live in 1993 at the Bayou in Georgetown, Washington D.C. which unfortunately is no longer there. Some of the biggest bands have made a pass through The Bayou. For me when I think of my favorite artists who I would love to see live in in concert, Lindsey Buckingham is in the top 5.

On Saturday October 13th, the Goo Goo Dolls came to The Anthem in the newly revitalized The Wharf. This was my first time at The Anthem and that place is an amazing venue. The thought and money that went into the design of this venue is top notch, and all the staff were friendly. The Goo Goo Dolls are on tour for their 20^thanniversary. They released their self-titled debut album in 1997 and since then have had a mainstream breakthrough and have had recorded over a dozen hit songs.

October 16, 2018 Jeff Talbert Music Reviews

John Lodge, bass player for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band The Moody Blues performed on Sunday Oct 14^that the City Winery in downtown Washington DC for an intimate group of energetic fans.

John Lodge and his band started the show at 8pm sharp which is unusual. Usually shows start at least a few minutes late but not this show. I have been a fan of The Moody Blues ever since I was a kid. I am not young, but there were a lot of fans at this show that have been fans of The Moody Blues since the beginning of the band back in 1964, which is a few years before my time, but not by much!

Album Revue "Usher A"

Usher’s Latest Release Gets A Failing Grade

October 14, 2018 Derrick Dunn Music, Music Reviews

Fourteen years ago, Usher released the album Confessions, which for me is still his iconic work. Since then all of Usher’s releases have been either good 2008’s Here I Stand or downright horrible 2016’s Hard II Love. On October 11, Usher tweeted that he would be releasing a new album, sending his fans into anticipation, hoping Usher, would finally deliver an album worthy of his talents. Sadly, Usher’s latest release simply titled A continues the downward spiral of Usher’s once-promising career.
