Billy Joel. The Last Play at Shea

Turzman — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 15:15:35 +0000

July 16, Shea Stadium, Flushing, New York.

That's right, bitches. In a historic event, Billy Joel became the only person in history to have played every major venue in the Tri-State area. Shea Stadium gets torn down at the end of this year's baseball season, and in an equally historic event, it was where the Beatles played their first U.S. concert (it was also Shea's first) so it was only fitting that Joel pay homage with 3 Beatles tunes in Shea's last concert (Hard Day's Night, Please Please Me & She Loves You).

Last Play at Shea featured cameos from Tony Bennett, John Mayer, Don Henley and John Cougar Melencamp Face, or whatever he's calling himself these days.

Yes you missed something great.

I did not.

Filming at Telluride Jazz Festival

Well... as long as I'm in the posting pictures of concert gigs... here's another one!

This is at Telluride Jazz Festival - and that is Airto Moreira. He and his wife, Flora Purim, were the Guests Of Honor at Telluride Jazz last year and this was the main stage of the Festival bearing Flora and Airto's name. Other performers to grace the FnA stage that weekend included such legends as Herbie Hancock and Larry Coryell.

For those of your unfamiliar with Flora and Airto (as were we before becoming involved with this project) - try Googling their names and/or the names associated with their musical lives... Chick Corea, Santana, Weather Report... they've definitely been around!

(to give you an idea of Flora's level of fame - a sample of her unique vocal style was included in the space probe sent out into the universe in mankind's effort to be in touch with any other life forms out there. That's big. =)

(We're doing on-going work for a documentary about Flora and Airto - with interviews with George Duke, Alphonso Johnson.. oh.. and this month Wayne Shorter)

I stumbled on an article about Toad The Wet Sprocket's recent re-union tour - and lo and behold, one of the concert pictures caught yours truly filming them. This was taken at the Mayan Theater in Los Angeles.
