It was another celebration as the Jubilee Tour touched down at the Blossom Music Center Tuesday evening. Stone Temple Pilots, Live and Soul Asylum led the charge for a pavilion crowd of over 4,000 fans. These bands were at the forefront of leading the music scene in the early to mid 1990s. It was good to see a tour package of this magnitude. Sure had these guys toured together in 1995 they would have been playing stadiums. To still see them play a shed tour is still pretty significant in this modern day era of music. Continue reading →

Deep Purple are in the midst of another North American tour which finds them out on the road supporting their latest release =1. While the album has not charted on the regular U.S. album charts it did reach #12 on the Top Album Sales chart (for further info on the charts and what they mean go to www.billboard.com). It is clearly the bands best album in quite some time. The band have been releasing albums regularly including five over the past eleven years. This tour also features YES and Hannah Wicklund.

It was just another retro night at OLG stage as Howard Jones and company took everyone back to the 1980’s and the MTV British pop era. Joining Jones were ABC and Haircut One Hundred. All bands put on exceptional performances and had the crowd dancing and on their feet throughout the night. Continue reading →
