Lollapalooza began in 1991 as a touring festival, similar to Furthur and H.O.R.D.E., featuring primarily alternative rock acts. The festival's initial run ended in 1997, then 6 years passed before a relaunch in 2003. That effort did not go well as the 2004 edition was cancelled due to weak ticket sales.  Lollapalooza was revived in 2005 as a two day festival in Grant Park in Chicago, where it has remained ever since. This webcast recording captures highlights of Paul McCartney's appearance at Lollapalooza on July 31, 2015, a decade ago today. The stop was pary of Sir Paul's Out There tour, which encompassed 91 shows across 5 different continents, grossing $275 million in ticket sales.

Neil Young & Stephen Stills - 2015-04-25 - Hollywood, CA (Ex Aud)

2010s - #5: The on again, off again musical relationship between Neil Young and Stephen Stills seems to be almost as old as rock and roll itself.  The two were in Buffalo Springfield together, though disputes between them saw Neil walking away from the band on several occaisions (for example, he missed their appearance at Monterrey Pop), before the band finally broke up in 1968. Neil rejoined Stephen as part of CSNY in 1969, but that lasted only until mid 1970.  CSNY regrouped in 1974 for a massive tour, only to split up once again by year's end.  Then Stills and Young joined up for a tour in 1976 but Neil quit after just 19 shows, sending a note that read “Dear Stephen, funny how some things that start spontaneously end that way. Eat a peach, Neil."  Over the next quarter century, the two mostly stayed apart, except for an occaisional charity gig such as Live Aid where CSNY reunited, or studio appearance, as when Young helped CSN record the album American Dream.  Then in 2000, CSNY got back together for a full tour, which was followed by tours in 2002 and 2006. In 2010, the 2, along with Richie Furay, reformed Buffalo Springfield for two Bridge School Benefit shows. Despite rumors of a national tour, the Springfield played just a half a dozen shows in June 2011 before calling it quits.  After that Stills andf Young again went their separate ways. They reunited for a good cause in April 25, 2015, a decade ago today as captured in this excellent audience recording, playing a set at the  Light Up The Blues Benefit: Autism Speaks benefit. Will they ever play together again? Given their track record, who the heck really knows?

CSN 2015 - Back To Back - #1:  In March 2015, CSN toured Japan for the first time since 1996.  The two concerts were part of a 47 date world tour that also took them to North America and Europe.  They ended the year with a Christmas performance at the National Christmas Tree in Washington DC.  Ironically, they said their performance was to inspire peace on earth but the trio could not keep the peace among themsleves.  Soon after, tensions arose between Crosby and Nash, with both vowing the band would never play another show.  And with Crosby's death, the end of CSN is now permanent.  This IEM recording captures night 1 in Japan during what has now become the last CSN tour, on March 5, 2015, a decade ago today. Stop back tomorrow for part 2 of this Back To Back set.

James Taylor - 2015-08-06 - Fenway Park, Boston, MA (SBD)

According to some sources, James Taylor, who was signed to the Apple label at the time, was invited to play Woodstock on the condition that the Beatles played the festival.  When the Beatles declined (more on that in a post later this month), the invitation to Taylor was pulled. Taylor's first album, and only one the Apple label, was released in the US in February 1969. The disc included 2 tunes that would become classics, both of which also had links to the Fab Four. Paul McCartney and an uncredited George Harrison guested on bass and backing vocals respectively on Carolina in My Mind, which includes the lyric "holy host of others standing around me", which referenced The Beatles. The tune Something in the Way She Moves provided the starting point for Harrison's #1 single, Something. Ironically,  Taylor said he originally wanted the tune to be called I Feel Fine, but the title had already been taken by a Beatles song.  

In any event, this soundboard recording captures Taylor over 4 1/2 decades after Woodstock, at Fenway Park in Boston on August 3, 2015, 9 years ago today.
