Arena concerts may not be the best way to experience live music, but for some bands, there just isn’t any other way to see them. U2 is one of those bands. Multiple night runs in arenas and stadiums are they way U2 has toured for years now and, given their massively creative ideas for staging these kinds of monster shows, it wasn’t so bad going into an arena to see them do their thing. Though, in the end, the performance was a bit uneven, the band delivered some monster cuts and memorable staging that made the trip into The Can worthwhile.

This year’s Rocky Mountain Folks Festival featured marquee names like John Butler Trio, Patty Griffin and John Prine but it was the lesser known acts like Seryn, Foy Vance, Nathaniel Rateliff and Charles Bradley that really wow’d the faithful crowd. Word on the street months before the festival was that the organizers and staff of Planet Bluegrass were more excited by the acts this year than they had been at any time in recent memory, and they just may have been right on!

One of the most difficult juggling acts any Jamband has to perform involves the translation of the energy, passion, and improvisation of a live show into a studio album. While most bands try and make a distinction between “studio” and “live,” Whitewater Ramble has done a damn near perfect job of combining the two with their most recent album, Roots & Groove. This latest effort from the Fort Collins quintet captures the “high-octane” feel of their live shows, while at the same time crafting a cohesive and meaningful studio record.

The music of Kishi Bashi, the stage name of Virginia’s Kaoru Ishibashi, is a circus of imagination and melody. During a nearly sold-out set at The Bluebird last week, Ishibashi created lush string orchestrations as he looped violin, vocals, and beat boxing seamlessly throughout the set for a packed house of well mannered, attentive, and courteous 25-35 year olds who danced and smiled as they basked in the high energy coming from the unique show on stage.

Lisa Siciliano’s 6th Annual Holiday Rock & Roll Photography Art Show & Sale happened on December 2nd at George’s in Boulder. The event featured live music from some great local musicians (including Lisa’s daughter and some other familiar young faces), food, drink, and of course hundreds of Lisa’s black & white Rock & Roll photos on display and for sale. Between musical acts, Lisa took time to talk to us at Listen Up Denver! about concert photography and why BB King plays the Blues and not Hip-Hop.
