The XX show last night a Prague’s Forum Karlin blew the pants off the one a few years back at the big room at the Lucerna downtown. The Lucerna show was fine performance and setlist wise but the sound was horrible. At that show, there were none of the gut-rattling low frequency elements of the…

Primal Scream – Screamadelica Live – August 7, 2011 Vltavská Cultural Center Prague, Czech Republic
Somewhere, Czechoslovak communists are turning in their graves. Last night’s show at the Vltavská Cultural Center in Prague had the rock band Primal Scream playing in what appeared to be the basement of a run-down building adorned with old, ugly socialist realism sculptures.

Wilco – September 28, 2010 – Divadlo Archa – Prague, Czech Republic
Before leaving the house to see Wilco, I played some of their tunes for Little NH while she finished up her M&M’s for dessert. She’s a fan of “Wilco (the Song)” and was more than a little disappointed that she wasn’t going to get to see them in person. I explained to her that the…

Lightning Review: Kings of Leon – Live at the O2 London, England
I bought the wrong thing for everyone this Christmas. They’re all going to be opening up presents and wishing they had this DVD instead. This band is really blowing my mind. And, on this DVD, they blow the minds of everyone at the O2. It’s astounding – the hits, slow burners, all well filmed. The…
U2 360° Tour in Berlin 07-18-09
This is my fifth time seeing U2 on four consecutive tours. Of all of the U2 shows I’ve seen, this one was the best since the Popmart Tour for a hard-core fan even though songs from the Pop album were non-existent in the set list. Nevertheless, the mix of songs succeeded in showcasing…

Can it be done? Does anybody out in Internet land know how to do it? This guy tried and failed – just like me this morning. Maybe in Windows 7?
