Phish 08/07/10 Greek Theatre - Berkeley, CA Words/Photos/Videos by Reverend Justito/concertconfessions.com Before we really get going, I need to thank a few people for making this entire weekend possible.  I was shut out via mail order and ticketmaster.  Chad and Eric came to my rescue with one ticket for each night and I didn’t have to pay a cent for it.  You guys are incredible.  I would also like to thank James and Kelly for letting me crash for two nights.  You guys rule and ...

Phish 08/06/10 Greek Theatre - Berkeley, CA Words/Photos/Videos by Reverend Justito/concertconfessions.com Note:  This is the second review I wrote while taking BART from Berkeley to the penninsula.  I wrote this on my iPod, and as I edit/put this together on Sunday I think it holds up rather well given the condition I was in.  Special thanks to Katy Perry for some inspiration on this one.  I tried an experiment tonight.  What would happen if I rocked my Lakers/Lizards t-shirt and $4.99 Lakers cap at a Phish ...

Phish 08/05/10 Greek Theatre - Berkeley, CA Words/Photos/Videos by Reverend Justito/concertconfessions.com Note:  Reason #81 SF is better than LA.  I was able to write most of this review on BART on the way home from the show :) At the very moment the fog rolled across the bay and reached Berkeley, Phish took the stage for the first of three over-sold nights at the Greek Theatre.  With grins from ear to ear on everyone inside the historic venue the band kicked off leg two of their ...

Barenaked Ladies (w/ Angel Taylor & Kris Allen) 07/22/10 Greek Theatre - Los Angeles, CA Words/Photos by Eringoboro   In the summer of 1998, the HORDE festival made a stop at Saratoga Performing Arts Center. Like any other teenager in upstate New York at the time, Blues Traveler was on my top ten list of favorite bands, and I was longing to get tickets, yet I didn't have a chance to go to the SPAC show as I was working at a summer camp. However, a ... Read More

MGMT w/ Helios Creed & Francis and the Lights 07/16/10 Greek Theatre - Los Angeles, CA Words/Photos/Videos by Reverend Justito/concertconfessions.com You know a song is rocking when it is stuck in your head after the first listen.  That was me a few summer’s back with “Time To Pretend” by MGMT.  Walking the halls at work trying not to mention shooting heroin in Paris as I walked past million dollar execs, I just knew there was something about this Brooklyn based duo.  I went to Target, ...

Coheed and Cambria/Heaven and Hell Greek Theatre: Los Angeles, CA 08/11/09 Words/Photos by Justin (Note, I got no Coheed photos as I mainly took video during their set.  As soon as we have net access in our new home, I will add the videos).  Sometimes, the stars and planets align and things work out, despite the fact you didn’t think it actually would.  I was disappointed knowing I would not be able to make it to the beautiful Greek Theatre here in Los Angeles to see ...

As Gov’t Mule played a bluesy two hour set, I watched many physically challenged Dead Heads struggle to get to their seats. As much as it was a struggle for the aging fan base to reach their seats, it was even more of a struggle for me to stay awake. I really do enjoy Gov’t Mule, and it was cool to hear “Lay Your Burden Down” & “Soulshine” again after all these years. For me, with an evening of slow blues based ... Read More
