REVIEW: VAN HALEN @ XFINITY CENTER, SAT 8/1
Van Halen may not hit the same quarter mile time as in their prime, but they still love to rev the engine and it's still worth a trip around the track.
REVIEW: STEELY DAN AND ELVIS COSTELLO @ BLUE HILLS BANK PAVILION, 7/30
Fagen reminded me of a Jewish Ray Charles, with his distinct head movements behind the keyboard and mic mimicking the great artist.
