Not a lot of excitement this week, music wise, but it IS Second Saturday, so who needs music? Plus there are lots of bands playing here and there on the streets. Check it out.
This Friday is the third-from-last free concert in the park on Friday at 5:30 with Seventy (a rockin' good classic rock band), Shannon Curtis, the Bobby Zoppi Band and Brandon Tyler. Next week is The Brodys and the Snobs and the last Friday, Aug. 22, is Mumbo Gumbo, breathing easier.
For country fans, there's Martina McBride and Jack Ingram at Sleep Train in Marysville on Saturday. Outta town, Steely Dan - again - play Ironside Amphitheatre on Saturday, while Sammy Hagar plays Harveys Outdoor Amphitheatre the same day.
More interestingly, tickets go on sale Friday for the Rockband Live show at Arco Arena on Oct. 12 with Panic! At the Disco, Dashboard Confessional, Plain White T's, The Cab. Here are Panic! live on Jimmy Kimmel....
And the Plain White T's doing a cover of last year's BIG pop hit...
Other tickets of interest on sale are those for Stone Temple Pilots at the Sacramento Memorial Auditorium on Sept. 3. Tickets go on sale Saturday morning.
And for the oldsters and hipster youngsters, here's a WILDLY rare clip I just found on YouTube of Jimi Hendrix playing Sacramento's Cal Expo on April 27, 1970...I was invited to go by the skank across the street, but me being 13 and she being, well, TOO interesting, my parents forbade it. I still resent it. Hendrix died five months later...

dave: all readers of your blog who are at loose ends this weekend should get up from their keyboards and snag a copy of "i got the feelin': james brown in the '60s." it's a three-DVD set that features -- finally! -- a decent transfer of the legendary show he did at boston garden the night after mlk was killed. it was televised live to keep grieving fans at home and not out on the streets. for years this has circulated in various crummy bootlegs. seen in this cleaned-up version (in black and white with TV-quality sound, but perfectly watchable), you'll get -- warning! outrageous claim follows -- the single best performance on video from any rock/jazz/r&b/whatever performer. ever.
end of rant. resuming normal programming...
