While everyone was rocking their block off at the Capitol Hill Block Party, my friend Steven Friederich was at KeyArena watching a small band called Nine Inch Nails rip through a massive set list of more than 25 songs.
Here are a few videos he shot of Trent Reznor and co.
One of my favorite bands of all time, Peal Jam (as if you didn’t already know I am a PJ fan, given the name of this blog), paid tribute to one of its favorite bands of all time, The Who, for a VH1 special.
The entire tribute program, which includes performances by Incubus, Tenacious D, Foo Fighters, The Flaming Lips (another one of my favs) and, of course, The Who, can be seen tonight on VH1.
Here’s a senak look at Pearl Jam’s cover of “The Real Me”
Canadian prog-rockers Rush made their first American television appearance in 33 years last night on Comedy Central’s The Colbert Report.
I’m not a huge Rush fan but I do appreciate their music and I’ve reviewed them live a couple of times. Bt, for those aspiring music critics out there on the Internets, be careful with what you say about Rush because their fans can be vicious.
Here’s the Colbert Report video with Colbert’s interview with the band. I recommend watching it soon-ish before the YouTube Gods discover it has been posted and take it down.
