I will be very interested to hear the Van Morrison review.. The Meyerhoff is sweet as far as sound, but sometimes Van disappoints.. I saw him at DAR, which also is the ultimate sound specs but he was uninspired, and then, so were we..

Hi Owen,
I think we've got Jay-Z and Jewel covered, but I might need shots of Van the Man. I'll let you know tomorrow.

I saw Jay-Z in his early days at the old Parrot Island in Fells Point. It was a great show--he will not disappoint!

The Dear Hunter will be playing at Ottobar on Tuesday which will undoubtedly be a better concert than all of these 'well past their prime' musicians.
