Has anyone seen Melvin Seals and the JGB perform recently? They are playing in Phoenix tomorrow night, and I'm thinking about going to see them. Just wondering if anyone here has seen them and thinks they are or are not worth seeing. It's a cheap ticket and a small venue, so I'm pretty inclined to go, but wanted to get some input here as well.

Thanks!
George

    Agreed on both counts, but I guess neither scenario is too likely :redface:

    I just checked JamBase, and was mistaken about the date of the concert. It's actually Wednesday night which looks like a rare good night for live music in Phoenix. So my choices just got a little bit harder, but I think I'm still leaning towards the Melvin Seals & JGB show. In Phoenix on 07/25 we have:

    Hot Tuna Accoustic at Mesa Arts Center
    Barenaked Ladies, Blues Traveler, Big Head Todd & The Monsters, Cracker at Comerica Theater (fka Dodge Theater)
    Melvin Seals & JGB at Crescent Ballroom

    Melvin Seals et al would be hard to pass up for me, even without Jerry, under most circumstances. Hot Tuna, though, has gotta be the tightest group I've ever seen. Jorma and Jack have been playing together for close to 50 years and it really comes through. Since I've seen Hot Tuna I'd probably go see JGB and Seals, but if I hadn't I'd need to toss a coin.

    I know what you're saying about Hot Tuna, but I'm kind of feeling more in the mood for a full band thing instead of Jorma and Jack acoustic. I realize that may sound insane.

    I'm freaking out a little, because in almost 7 years of living here, I've never had a live music dilemma like this one.

    I started a thread in "The Clubhouse" for concerts called "Concerts".

    Please also report on your experience in that thread. If you dont no big deal but I thought it would be a nice thread for people to talk about concerts they have been to.
