Paul McCartney - 2017-07-15 - Bossier City, LA (Ex. Aud) 

I've seen Sir Paul 9 times, and the last 4, in 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2022, I went with both my wife and my twin boys. We started that run back in June 2015, a Father's Day show in Philadelphia, which was also the first concert my boys ever went to! The set list that night included the tune Macca wrote for Destiny, one of my boy's favorite video games. We followed that up with an August 7, 2016 show at Giants Stadium on what what would have been my Dad's 83rd birthday had he not passed away in 2012. Sir Paul broke out Birthday that night, the first time I had ever heard him play that song live. Then on September 15, 2017, at Madison Square Garden on my Mom's 85th birthday, Paul entertained us as almost no other performer can, telling stories, paying tribute to lost friends and lovers, playing over 40 songs scanning almost 60 years of musical history. He played Jet, my boy's favorite McCartney tune, a song that had been missing from the 2 previous shows they attended.  And then, as I mentioned in my Springsteen post earlier this month, he brought Bruce and Miami Steve on stage for what turned out to be back to back renditions of I Saw her Standing There.  Most recently, just a few weeks ago on July 16, 2022, the 4 of us Saw Sir Paul at Met Life stadium, just 2 days before his 80th birthday!  Another 3 hour masterpiece, and another guest appearance by Springsteen, for 2 songs, his Glory days and The Beatles I Wanna be Your Man, plus he sat in during the closing Abbey Road medley to add some blistering guitar work. Given Sir Paul's age, I may never get to see him live again, but the memories, especially from the last 4 shows, will last forever.

This excellent audience recording Captures Sir Paul a few months earlier in that 2017 tour, in Louisiana on July 15, 2017, 5 years ago today.

Peter Noone & Herman's Hermits - 2017-08-30 - Bronx, NY (VG Aud)

On August 1, 2017, my wife and Ii went to see Peter Noone and Herman's Hermits in Moristown. We had no expectations going into the show. Tickets were just $25 and we figured if we heard a song or two we liked it would be worth it for a night out. By the end of the show, we were completely amazed by what a consummate showman Peter Noone is.  We were on our feet all night - it was much fun as I ever had at a concert. Noone did all the big hits from the 1960s - Something Good, Henry the Viii, A Must To Avoid, Silhouettes, Can You Hear My Heartbeat, Mrs. Brown and of course, There's a Kind Of Hush.  He also did spot impressions of Mick Jagger and Johnny Cash, told stories of the club scene in the UK in the 60, and had us laughing all night long.  The man even signed autographs in the lobby after the show! You can read a review of the show that we were at here.  By the way, we were scheduled to see him again in March 2020, and then COVID happened. Now we're supposed to see him in October - lets hope we can!

This very good audience recording captures Noone & Herman's Hermits just a few weeks later on August 30, 2017, 4 years ago today, playing a set list almost identical to the show I was at.  It's not exactly the sound quality we normally post here at So Many Roads, but for a rare recording of Peter Noone, I'm glad to make an exception.

Van Morrison - 2017-08-06 - Antwerp, Belgium (FM) 

I've seen Van Morrison 7 times, across 3 decades - the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s - and each time has been unique. Van changes up the set list from tour to tour, and you never know what mood he'll be in for a concert. For example, his September 1990 show at the Garden State Art's Center was a contemplative, introspective performance. In contrast, his April 1992 concert at the Paramount in New York was an upbeat religious celebration. Then again, his 1989 show at The Beacon Theatre was a bluesy affair, with a guest appearance by John Lee Hooker.  With Van, you never quite know what you'll be seeing or hearing, which is part of the fun. In any event, my wife and I are hoping that one day will get to see him play Some One Like You, as that's our wedding song.

This FM broadcast captures Van The Man more recently, on August 6, 2017, just 4 years ago today, playing a jazz festival in Belgium.

I've seen the Pretenders live 3 times, early on in their career in October 1981 at the Palladium, in April 1987 at Radio City Music Hall after the commercial success of the albums Learning To Crawl & Get Close, and then just recently, in April 2018, at the Morristown PAC. That gap of 31 years between 1987 and 2018 is the 2nd longest I ever went between seeing a concert by the same band, topped only by the 38 year gap between my first America concert in 1978 and the 2nd one in 2016!

This soundboard recoding captures the Pretenders in Scotland about a year before I saw them for the third time on August 4, 2017, 4 years ago today.

Bruce Hornsby - 2017-07-20 - Grand Rapids, MI (SBD)

2017: So, what better recommendation can you have for a show then when the artist himself says it was great? This soundboard performance from Grand Rapids from July 20, 2017, 4 years ago today, was donated by Bruce Hornsby to the website bruuuce.com as part of an annual charity fund raiser for ALS Association and the Merlin Centre for Multiple Sclerosis care. Bruce called recommended it as “a really strong show… as good as we get”. You’ll hear why when you download it.
