As you can imagine, it was totally fucking insane.

Mos Def & The Experiment (Robert Glasper, Casey Benjamin, a bassist I forgot the name of who was subbing, and the fucking amazing drummer Chris Dave) at The Blue Note NYC

DAMN! This was one of the best shows I've ever been to. Mos Def's band is flat-out incredible; they're tighter than almost any band I've ever seen and have a great sense of dynamics. There was a Radiohead song (forgot the name), some furious jamming, that poem from the inauguration which was 100 times better coming from Mos Def with music, and an epic version of De La Soul's Stakes Is High. They've completely suceeded in bringing together Jazz and Hip-Hop. If you get a chance to see them, do it.

It was even worth standing for 5 hours straight...

Saw Cat Power last night at the 9:30 Club in DC.

Damn, what a fucking incredible voice, and I've gained a much better appreciation for her band now than I had when I was just listening to the studio albums.

Didn't know about this thread.

Ann Sophie Mutter, Andre Previn and some bassist along with the Kennedy Center Orchestra at the Kennedy Center. That woman is awe inspiring with a violin.

Did you see Joshua Bell at Strathmore? That was incredible too.

Nope no such luck. Generally my wife and I stick to the KC (we attend more ballet and opera than classical) because we like to take the Metro into DC but I'll have take a look at what's going on out there.

Goddamnit, tell me about these things! I would've gone to that. Joshua Bell is probably my second favorite living violinist.

(J/K...it's not your fault I've slipped in keeping track of concert schedules and the like...)

I haven't seen them but several times, but it was the best phish I've ever seen. incredible set list, super tight playing, positive crowd, unreal energy. I'm happy I was there.
