Taylor Swift at Madison Square Garden 8/27/09

Taylor Swift at Madison Square Garden 8/27/09.

No camera for this show, so my daughter's iPhone pics are the best I could do.

She really was great. Very impressive for a first tour as headliner.

Updates - New shows, New Ingrid Michaelson music.

After two weeks away without a show, things will be heating up soon.

Taking my daughter to the hottest ticket in NYC - Taylor Swift at MSG on 8/27/09. Have pretty good seats. Glad I don't desperately need cash, these are reselling for lots of money.

On the other end of the venue size spectrum I'll be seeing Elizabeth & The Catapult at the Music Hall of Williamsburg on 9/3/09. I'll be photographing this for Venus Zine. I'm really enjoying their new album Taller Children.

Ingrid Michaelson's new album Everybody hits the streets (assuming you still buy CDs anymore) on 8/25/09. Had to post her widget; anything to support her work.

This was the early show, leaving at 7 p.m. and docking back again close to 9.

They're still rocking hard after thirty years. Go see them if you can.

Last Minute Show!

Going to see Southside Johnny and The Asbury Jukes tomorrow night on the Rockin' The River cruise early show.

I first saw Southside Johnny and the Jukes in 1977 when they played Union College and my girlfriend (now wife of 28 years) interviewed them for the school paper. They were a staple of the New Year's Eve parties my brother and I threw in the late 70's. We'd invite our two very different groups of friends and family and party all night in our parents' apartment in manhattan. Rock with th Southside, then R&B the rest of the night.

Haven't seen the band in about five years, so I've been whining about it for awhile. Now I can only whine about the cost of a ticket for a show on a boat...

Anyone else going?
