The Janis Ian show will be the best concert of the year no one will remember. Unlike some of her contemporaries, Ian's voice hasn't lost a bit of its beauty and, if anything, has gotten stronger over the years. The show was funny, touching, and joyous and anyone who was there won't forget it anytime soon.

This Must Be The Band is really great. I saw them about a year ago at 2720 Cherokee and they completely killed it. Also, The female backup singers were pretty hot. Everyone was having a blast. So if you're trying to decide whether or not to go, trust me -- GO.
