It's great to see rock stars who don't take themselves too seriously. This week, the Foo Fighters tour rider was leaked to the internet. For those who don't know, a tour rider gives venues specifics on what artists want in their dressing room when it comes to food and drink...and what accommodations they need for their crew. Nothing too scandalous for the Foos, in fact, their rider makes me

After 13 shows from March 10 to 26, the Allman Brothers Band's Beacon run came to a close last Saturday night in New York City. Each and every performance featured at least one guest with many featuring multiple sit-ins. For this week's B List, I compiled a list of what I thought were the ten best guest spots of the run. Take a look and let us know if you felt differently. 10. Col. Bruce Hampton and Duane Trucks on Turn On Your Lovelight - March 25 [...]
Let's break away from the traditional single-clip format of our 10AM video post to look at two sit-ins that took place last night... Wilco front man Jeff Tweedy returned to the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Toronto last night for the second of two shows to kick off a brief solo run.

Of all of my friends around the country who've offered to cover shows/concerts from their hometowns, no one has approached it with such commitment (and submitted their reports so timely) as Phil in Baltimore. PT had a free Saturday as his wife was on call, so the boy headed to the 8x10 in Baltimore and had already sent me his report before I made it back to my friend's apt tonight. I keep telling Woody that Phil is setting a very high standard, [...]

This post comes from Jessi's friend Emily (and new Chicago correspondent): I am submitting my thoughts on Wolf Parade exactly one week after hitting up their show at the Chicago House of Blues. I was mortified to see that Jessi did not have any mention of Wolf Parade and felt this band deserved the credit it was due. I have been a huge fan of Wolf Parade ever since they released their first album, Apologies to the Queen Mary . In fact, I [...]
