That sounds like a blast. Duel of fates would be incredible like that. I'd love to see the bowl. They doing a vaxx only deal there too ?Yup, it's a great time. (Even with all the adult SW cosplayers with their light up lightsabers) The Bowl is an amazing venue, and I've been there maybe a dozen times over the years. I moved here in '97, so the prequels were coming out and there was new Star Wars music to hear the first few times I went; Duel Of The Fates with a live 100-person choir is no joke.
They always have spotlights fired up when there are shows at the Bowl, but one night I went to see JTW they played the 1941! March and a small 2-engine airplane flew through the lights and it was very amusing.

It's an outdoor venue, so they don't have a vax requirement despite opening up to 100% capacity. Depending on where you sit, seating there is actually more confined than some indoor venues (like The Forum, which just postponed the Foo Fighters concert we were going to Thursday), so we wouldn't be going absent a vax requirement.That sounds like a blast.

I've seen everything there from John Williams, to the LA Phil, to Chris Issak (with a friend's husband serving as musical director and conducting a live ensemble), to Eddie Izzard being the first ever standup comic to headline the venue (and showing the viral video by the person that animated LEGO to the Death Star canteen bit).

Yeah the Hollywood Bowl is a great venue. I saw Williams there in 2009 or 2010 and it's one of my favorite concert experiences I've ever had. I also saw BB King and Liza Minnelli there and I don't give af what anybody says, Lucille 2 puts on a hell of a show.

We saw that show twice, and it was startlingly low-energy. I enjoyed talking to the friend's hubby about adapting/arranging the music for an orchestral ensemble - from a nuts-and-bolts perspective - but the actual show was sorta meh.

Transferring from RIP
Watts was orders of magnitude better than Ringo.
I've always said, you can't be a great band if the drummer is the worst musician in the ensemble....................................... unless the other musicians in the band are Paul McCartney, John Lennon, and George Harrison. They're the tide that lifts Ringo's dinghy.

Ringo is a stellar musician. Watts may be a better drummer (debatable) but Ringo is not just a drummer just as the rest of The Beatles weren't just guitarists or bassists or singers.Transferring from RIP

Upon George's death Ringo was the most successful Beatle by far. Does success equal talent? Modern music definitely says no. But it does mean something.
Music Thread
I'm not sure how to regard that take that Ringo was 'the most successful Beatle' after Harrison died, because at that point there was only the one other one left, and he was Paul McCartney. Successful at being an ex-Beatle? Successful at getting Howard Stern to adopt your catch phrase? What's your metric.

I'm a jazz fan, so when a rock drummer can successfully drum behind a jazz combo or big band, that's a big plus for me (Watts and Phil Collins naturally).

Completely agree here. Give me the jazz drummers in a rock band.I'm a jazz fan, so when a rock drummer can successfully drum behind a jazz combo or big band, that's a big plus for me (Watts and Phil Collins naturally).

"upon George's death". And it means he was the most successful musician out of the fab 4 after the band broke up.I'm not sure how to regard that take that Ringo was 'the most successful Beatle' after Harrison died, because at that point there was only the one other one left, and he was Paul McCartney.

I am both depressed and thankful I wasn't born in the mid 40s. I'd probably have died before I was 30...

"When I was coming up, Charlie Watts didn’t get much respect, not among other drummers. Neither did Ringo Starr – mostly they got a begrudging acknowledgment just for being in the Stones and the Beatles, but very few drummers were singing the praises of these guys. In the 1970s, everyone was gaga for prog-rock guys with gazoonga drum sets who could work 10-minute drum solos.
Yet with his easy swing and often loping, uneven fills, Watts found out how to get inside the song, like a great singer – and yet his relentless pounding on the most mean-spirited songs of the era delivered an authenticity to a band that, on their best nights, were an existential threat to the status quo. He found space to breathe in a music that had little room for it. He stretched time and, while others blew up their drums looking for a cheap pop from audiences increasingly becoming slaves to the spectacle, Watts played his modest kit with finesse and humility, and liberated the groove. He gave purchase to the singer and the guitar man. People have broken out of prison with less moxie."

To be fair, it's pretty weird nowadays to have a naked kid on an album cover. That wouldn't happen now. Still, his reasoning is hilariously dumb. "It WAS cool until I wanted Nirvana to be in my art show and I had to go through their managers, therefore their album cover is now child porn."

TIL 'successful' apparently does not mean what I thought it means.
