15. Mazzy Star-Coachella Indo,CA
14. Aranis-NEARfest, Bethleham, PA
Aranis- Belgian acoustic chamber rock ensemble led by upright bassist and composer Joris Vanvickenroye. Featuring interlocked bass, violin, flute, accordion, and piano lines, Aranis' evocative music stirs the mind and spirit alike. Their album Roqueforte expands their musical palette through the addition of drummer extraordinaire Dave Kerman. Great performance Dave Kerman made an interesting twist to their sound. He played with air cans, bones and a deck of cards
13. Florence + The Machine-Coachella Indo,CA
I've Seen Florence a few times and her live show continues to progress. I love her outstanding vocals which go great with her witty poetry.
She entered as a silhouette from behind these stained glass doors
12. Tori Amos-Le Poisson Rouge, NYC
Tori did a great short set for an NPR taping. It was nice to see Tori at a small club after so many years of seeing her in large venues. Also since it was a taping the audience was silent. Tori's new album is with a a orchestra and while she couldn't bring that to the states she just used a string octet. Highlights: Smokey Joe, Taxi Ride, Purple People, Cloud on My Tongue
11. Neil Young and Crazy Horse/Patti Smith-Barclays Center, Brooklyn
I saw two shows on the tour and this was the better one. Patti Smith played a great warmup set. Patti still has lots of energy after all these years. Highlights:
Dancing Barefoot, Gloria
Neil and Crazy Horse whipped thru a great set of old and new songs. While they are not as good as the 70's or 90's versions they still bring a great show. highlights: Walk Like a Giant, Powderfinger and Cinnamon Girl
