Written by TIM BUGBEE Posted March 21, 2023 Filed Under: Fotobom, MUSIC, Reviews

For a long time now, Bruce Springsteen has been treating his concerts like an endurance event. When most bands are content to the take the stage after an opening act or two and cruise through their 90 minute set, well that’s when Bruce and his E Street Band are just getting limber. ...  read more

Written by TIM BUGBEE Posted September 30, 2022 Filed Under: Fotobom, MUSIC, Reviews

FOTOBOM: CHEAP TRICK AT PROVIDENCE PERFORMING ARTS CENTER

Written by TIM BUGBEE Posted November 17, 2021 Filed Under: Fotobom, MUSIC

There’s an argument to be made that Rockford, Illinois might be the spawning place for America’s best power pop band but then again that definition is as hard to get a grip on as a greased up eel. For me, Cheap Trick didn’t quite hit all the hallmarks of the form that bands ...  read more

FOTOBOM: BLUE ÖYSTER CULT @ CHESHIRE FAIRGROUNDS

Written by TIM BUGBEE Posted August 7, 2020 Filed Under: Fotobom, MUSIC

 

Back in ’77, the second side of Spectres kicked off with a crowd pleaser/pumper called “R. U. Ready 2 Rock?” (did Prince have a copy of this record?) and they often started live shows with it to get things going. Blue Öyster Cult didn’t trot that one out tonight, ...  read more

FOTOBOM: THE WHO @ FENWAY PARK

Written by TIM BUGBEE Posted September 17, 2019 Filed Under: Fotobom, MUSIC, Reviews

 

Without disparaging the good name of The Pretty Things, The Who really put the term ‘rock opera’ on the musical books when they created not one but two enduring works in Tommy and Quadrophenia. So what do you do when you’ve done countless tours and it seems ...  read more

FOTOBOM: PAUL RODGERS, JEFF BECK, ANN WILSON @ BLUE HILLS BANK PAVILION

Written by TIM BUGBEE Posted August 22, 2018 Filed Under: Fotobom, MUSIC, Reviews

 

Age is just a number. It’s a cliché, but like most clichés there is sometimes more than a kernel of truth to it and tonight, this trio of 70s FM radio warriors came together as The Stars Align tour and provided compelling evidence that the number of times they’ve circled the sun ...  read more

FOTOBOM: ROBERT PLANT @ THE ORPHEUM

Written by TIM BUGBEE Posted February 20, 2018 Filed Under: Fotobom, MUSIC

 

Of all the current musical offerings on radio, classic rock still casts the longest shadow. Several generations have become indoctrinated to the giants of yesteryear, ones who still persevere much longer than the relatively fleeting careers of your average pop star. So it really wasn’t ...  read more

Written by TIM BUGBEE Posted July 18, 2016 Filed Under: Fotobom, MUSIC, Reviews

 

At the risk of starting this review on a morbid note, the sudden and unexpected deaths of music giants this year has been nothing short of brutal. David Bowie. Prince. Paul Kantner. George Martin. Just the other day Alan ...  read more
