I’m going to play live until my fingers won’t move up and down the fretboard anymore. So far so good, even though I have adapted my playing to the constantly changing, weakening muscle situation.
Still writing for a new solo release ….and it’s for me! When, and only when, I have enough tracks that totally blow me away, I will release it.
Even though I’m where I am health wise, this is the best time in my life! Family and dear friends are so important.
Who am I to complain?!?! Next year is my 60th year of touring! And in the immortal words of my super talented, old compadre, Steve Marriott, “It’s been a gas, it’s really been a gas!”
I would love if both of you would be my guests at the Greek in April. Be great to see you.

Seeing people getting 2k+ per seat for comparable tix online gave me half a second pause, but I’d regret the rest of my life giving up this experience. Was in Vegas last month and saw the movie there and I’m sooooo psyched! This may set the concert bar so high no other indoor venue can touch for me.

Came out for the encore and played three more, including a tune by the cure. I was hoping for another Allman bros encore considering we were in Georgia. Maybe next time...

Deep Purple has a good number of original members. The test will be in the vocals; they fade quickly. I saw them several times in my early teens and was a big fan. Shows included Blue Oyster Cult, REO Speedwagon and the like--I'd have to look it up for actuals.
Never saw Yes. Not a fan. "Fragile" was the only album I ever bought and then sold. Still is. I liked some of the prog--King Crimson stands out, and the symphonic prog like Moody Blues, Procal Harem and early ELO. But not yes, ELP, etc.

But lots of creativity in the prog arena, no question, and innovations with the electronic "instruments" like the Moog. The pipe organs that long-hairs like Handel expounded upon were new at the time, and nothing short of synthesizers at the time--just powered by wind instead of current. Hence "Switched-on Bach" if you recall.

Although, the first concert I ever attended was Asia at Merriweather Post with a friend in 1982. My friend's Dad drove us, and our parents even let us go in unsupervised!

I know this venue so we were there when the doors opened and secured one of the two tables in the balcony that overlooks the stage and sequestered as many stools as possible. The kids showed up about halfway through the first act. The first band was actually the best, blending reggae and rock in a cool way. Second act was an old school local reggae band who did the standards and had a hype man which was fun. The last two were interchangeable and had the pseudo-sublime sound I am not a fan of. We had to defend our table all night and this is the same balcony I almost got in a fight before but no drama this time. My son and his crew alternated from the floor back up to our perch and it was cool to show him how it’s done. The girls really appreciated the extra ear plugs I brought.
At the start of the third act, I looked into the crowd and low and behold, it was a glistening MCJeff. I ran down to say hi and invite him up, he demurred but it was fun to catch him in the wild. We bailed halfway through the final act and saw him again as we were getting in my car. Good to catch up. It was awesome to be at a show with my son, good to hang with my neighbor and the show exceeded my expectations. So, the morale of the story is, low expectations make for great evenings. Had a blast. Just buy the ticket.

Although the absolute best experience (rain aside...) from that perspective was the JRAD weekend at Lockn' Farm. I had my camp chair set up closer to the stage that I would be sitting in most theaters. But the 'crowd' was sparse enough to go right up to the stage whenever I wanted to, depending on how bad I wanted to get up close. Best of both worlds.
But of course, it's not very often that JRAD will play for you and about a cozy 1000 of your closest friends...
