..." one man gone and another to go..." During Soul Kitchen, Jim morrison shouted out he'd like another cigarette, and good golly, packs of smokes began FLYING up onstage. Setlist was rather short: 8-3-68 Cleveland Public Auditorium Cleveland,OH. Break On Through Back Door Man Five To One When The Music's Over Vast Radiant Beach Krieger's Solo The Royal Sperm When The Music's Over Soul Kitchen Light My Fire Jim was dressed in tight black leather pants and was animated throughout the show, not quite as much as Mick Jagger, but still very captivating.

That sounds awesome. What a treat. Sounds like a really grate evening.

Last night in Camden when Ratdog left the stage and ABB came on Bobby joined them for the sweetest version of"I Shall Be Released" it was the best!!! It blew me away Bobby, Warren and Derek acoustic...so sweet :) Nothing left to do but Smile Smile Smile!!

Excellent idea. Would love to read the thoughts of those that made it to the show. Reading the announcment of the show, builds a kind of magical longing and anticipation,not unlike actually having tickets. The houghts of people that went would be priceless.

that woulda been just lovely. As for Branford, I didn't know where else to put it, even though it's in the future! Maybe we need a new topic for Other Bands in the Future...

The Crosby Nash show at zellerbach at uc berkeley was beautiful. The wind on the water tour in 1975 with a young Danny Kortchmar, Russel Kunkel, Leeland Sklaar and the inimitable David Lindley. What a show. Carol King and James Taylor joined them. I remember walking around the campus after the show knowing that was something special in a very special place. I was just a puppy at the time and the thrill of trip to the bay area from sacramento for concerts was a magical experiance I have still not gotten over. ps - That Branford Marsalis shows sounds just wonderful. Should have stayed in sf longer! peace,pk

STANFORD LIVELY ARTS LAUNCHES 2008–09 SEASON ON SUNDAY, OCTOBER 5 WITH BRANFORD MARSALIS AND MARSALIS BRASILIANOS Concert at Memorial Auditorium features Grammy-winning saxophonist Branford Marsalis and members of the Philarmonia Brasileira in a celebration of Brazilian composer Heitor Villa-Lobos; Brazilian-themed reception and gala dinner follow the performance Single tickets go on sale Tuesday, September 2 Stanford, CA, August 22, 2008—Stanford Lively Arts opens its 2008–09 season on Sunday, October 5 with Marsalis Brasilianos, a vibrant musical dialogue across the Americas featuring saxophone virtuoso Branford Marsalis with members of the Philarmonia Brasileira, led by Gil Jardim. The performance takes place at 2:30 p.m., at Memorial Auditorium, and will be followed by a Brazilian-themed gala celebration including live music and a seated gourmet dinner with special guests.            Commemorating the 50th anniversary of Heitor Villa-Lobos’ death, Marsalis Brasilianos is an innovative new project that brings together the Grammy-winning, New Orleans–born jazz artist and the esteemed Brazilian ensemble, finding a fertile meeting ground in the composer’s music. They perform Villa-Lobos’ Fantasia for Saxophone (Soprano) and Piano or Orchestra (1949), the Suite for Strings (1912), and Bachianas Brasileiras No. 5 (1938). Also on the program are Darius Milhaud’s La création du monde, op. 81 (1923) and Scaramouche for Saxophone (Alto) and Orchestra, op. 165c (1937).            Immediately following the performance, Lively Arts will usher in the new season with Festa Brasileira, an elegant Brazilian-themed gala amid the fan palms of the Ford Alumni Gardens at Arrillaga Alumni Center, 326 Galvez Street. The event begins with a 5:00 p.m. reception, with cocktails and live music featuring two esteemed Brazilian-born artists: vocalist Claudia Villela and guitarist Ricardo Peixoto. At 6:00 p.m., the Brazilian festa continues with a gourmet seated dinner. Proceeds benefit Lively Arts’ artistic and education programs.              This presentation is generously supported by Fred and Stephanie Harman and Microsoft Corporation. ABOUT THE ARTISTS Jazz luminary and three-time Grammy Award-winning saxophonist Branford Marsalis was born in New Orleans into one of the city’s most distinguished musical families, which includes patriarch/pianist/educator Ellis and siblings Wynton, Delfeayo, and Jason. Known for his broad musical scope, Marsalis has become increasingly active as a soloist with such acclaimed ensembles as the symphony orchestras of Chicago, Detroit, and Düsseldorf and the Boston Pops. His nearly two-dozen recordings in various styles have received numerous accolades, with his most recent CD, the Grammy-nominated Braggtown, acknowledged as his quartet’s greatest recorded achievement to date. In addition to spending two years touring and recording with Sting and serving as musical director of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Marsalis has collaborated with the Grateful Dead and Bruce Hornsby, acted in films including Throw Mama from the Train and School Daze, provided music for Mo’ Better Blues and other films, and hosted National Public Radio’s syndicated program Jazz Set.            The Philarmonia Brasileira was founded in 1994 by conductor Gil Jardim, whose work is distinguished by its technique, excellence, and clarity of purpose as well as Jardim’s strong understanding of the fusion between ethnic and erudite Brazilian music elements. In October 2005, Jardim released a CD with Philarmonia Brasileira reconstructing the first concert Villa-Lobos held in Paris, in 1924. Two of the tracks on the CD, the recordings of Pensées d’enfant and Epigramas irônicos e sentimentais, were being released for the first time. The CD, titled Villa-Lobos in Paris, was awarded the Diapason d’Or from the well-known magazine Diapason. In addition, Jardim has appeared with the Brooklyn Orchestra in New York, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in London, and the Camerata Mexicana in Mexico.
