I only seem to muster up my word processor to comment on concerts I've seen and today is no exception. Last night I went to SunFest on the Intercoastal Waterway in West Palm Beach and caught Sheryl Crow. I'd ... http://blogs.krimson-news.com/timwinton/2008/05/01/as-the-crow-flies-slowhand-style/ I caught Jethro Tull two nights ago at the Hard Rock in Hollywood. This one was no freebie as my friend Rich hasn't been getting any comp tickets from the casino for over six months. We shelled out about $125 for two tickets and had dinner at Renegade barbeque before ... http://blogs.krimson-news.com/timwinton/2007/12/15/a-new-day-yesterday-but-an-old-day-now/ After taking almost two months off on the concert front I caught a big show two nights ago. The Police were out in full force at Dolphins Stadium which is actually closer to Fort Lauderdale than Miami. I've been to dozens of football games and baseball games there, but this ... http://blogs.krimson-news.com/timwinton/2007/07/12/police-and-thieves-in-the-stadium/ For the third time I took in The Pink Floyd Sound on Friday night. I'd previously caught the David Gilmour fronted Division Bell tour in then Joe Robbie Stadium. Almost six years ago I saw Roger Waters run like hell through his In the Flesh tour in West Palm Beach. This weekend ... http://blogs.krimson-news.com/timwinton/2007/05/20/kicking-around-on-a-piece-of-ground-in-my-home-town/ I spent all day Saturday on the inter-coastal waterway in West Palm Beach for the annual SunFest music, food and arts festival. It cost $23 to get in and my friend Rich and I got there early and put our blanket and lawn chairs down in the first row of ... http://blogs.krimson-news.com/timwinton/2007/05/07/soaking-up-sun-and-sounds/ Headliner John Legend nearly sold out the Hard Rock last night. I was there courtesy of some complimentary tickets. It was a soulful R&B show with Corinne Bailey Rae playing a 50 minute opening set. She is a talented singer songwriter and new to the music industry machine. I only ... http://blogs.krimson-news.com/timwinton/2007/05/03/maps-and-legends/ I took in Diana Ross last night at the Seminole Hard Rock Live arena and casino. She's definitely not my cup of tea, but once again it was free. Her band was great and all the Mo Town and disco hits were well delivered. She kept things interesting with many ... http://blogs.krimson-news.com/timwinton/2007/05/01/a-short-night-in-hollywood/ Once again I have been blessed by a seemingly endless supply of free concert tickets at Hard Rock Live in Hollywood. Two nights ago I took in  a charity performance by Smokey Robinson. The over four hour show also included a quite funny comedian (I can't recall his name) followed ... http://blogs.krimson-news.com/timwinton/2007/04/24/smokin-at-the-hard-rock/ I caught another free show at the Hard Rock on Sunday night. This time it was Vince Gill and it qualifies as the first country music concert I'd ever seen. My tastes tend to classic and progressive rock, but as long as the casino sees fit to send comp tickets ... http://blogs.krimson-news.com/timwinton/2007/04/03/a-country-sports-night/ Monday night was another concert at the Hard Rock, although we paid for this one. I took in The Who for the first time and really enjoyed it. The Who had actually cancelled three shows in the two weeks leading up to our show because Roger Daltrey had lost his ... http://blogs.krimson-news.com/timwinton/2007/03/29/out-on-the-endless-wire/
