My dear friend Ben got married last weekend and once again I failed to bring my camera. Fortunately Alexis managed to snap a photo of my brother and me way late in the night. Even Drew Little had crashed at this point.
The Tallest Man On Earth played to a sold out crowd at Lincoln Hall on Friday. It somehow escaped me to bring my camera but fortunately Dan snapped this pic which I’ve stolen for my own.
The show was the last of the lengthy tour for Kristian Matsson in support of his recent (and highly recommended) release The Wild Hunt. Naturally he played a large portion of that album. With the help of a surprisingly hushed audience, his voice really carried throughout the venue and his finger picking work is staggering.
I must admit, in part due to my old age, I left before the encore and missed two Dylan covers: ‘The Man in Me’ and ‘I’ll Keep It With Mine’. Oh well, I’ll certainly catch his next show in Chicago and know not to flake out.
