The year is now three quarters over (!!). And I just passed my annual target of 26 shows and am up to 28 and counting. This quarter's shows were:
SF Symphony (Rossini Overture to La gazza ladra; Mozart Piano Concerto No. 23; Beethoven Symphony No. 2)
SF Symphony (Mozart Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, Piano Concerto No. 23; Beethoven Symphony No. 7)
Ani Difranco
Willie Nelson
Bat for Lashes
Wilco
Richard Thompson
Treasure Island Festival (Dengue Fever, Zion I, Ghostland Observatory, M.I.A., DJ Shadow/Cut Chemist, Gotan Project, Thievery Corporation)
The Donnas
Low (two nights!)
Midlake
(extra credit: Sweeney Todd at A.C.T.)
The highlight was Low's first show -- truly transcendent.
Shows I'm set to see in the final three months of 2007 include: Jose Gonzales, Tori Amos, Tiger Lilies, The Decemberists, Tinariwen, and Kevin Drew (of Broken Social Scene).
