We like Lari and though she posted a clip on Flackennabok we found the full piece much more gratifying . . . might sign off the day with stellar performance . . . .
THE SMITHS - GIRL AFRAID

By Hilary Saunders
Earlier this month marked the massive 80th birthday celebration in Chicago on October 8th, titled Souvenirs, honoring the one-and-only John Prine. Nick Shoulders released two videos from his performance at Denver's Gothic Theatre last year. And more roots music news!

If you are as old as me you will remember this one . . . . .

Van "The Man" Morrison was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame in 1993, along with Cream, The Doors, Creedence Clearwater Revival, and Sly & The Family Stone, just to name a few. The ever reclusive and unpredictable Mr, Morrison skipped the ceremony, having Robbie Robertson accepted the honor on his behalf, while the Counting Crows were recruited to play Caravan.This FM broadcast captures Van in Berkeley on October 21, 1979, 47 years ago today, on toiur in support of the album Into The Music, which he had released 2 months earlier. That disc was far more spiritual and less commercial than 1978's Wavelength, reflecting Morrison’s desire to make music that satisfied his soul. The disc received rave reviews, with Robert Christgau, for example, giving it an A and calling the album his best work since Moondance. Dave Marsh declared that the 2nd side of Into the Music was Van’s greatest side of music since Astral Weeks. Rolling Stone wrote "That's what this album is about, proudly and stunningly and with no apologies. Resurrection. Real Hope.”
I've posted a Nathaniel Rateliff performance before, from the 2025 FarmAid benefit concert. So I won't say much about him this time.
At the time of this concert, he hadn't released a new studio album since 2024. So the songs here are from a variety of his albums. Plus, "Standing in the Rain Boys" is an unreleased song at the time of this performance.
This album is 33 minutes long.
