Catching Up: Umphrey's Live Murat and More

Umphrey's Mcgee will release a double-live album, "Live at the Murat" on October 16. The album was recorded last April in Indianapolis. As I've previously indicated; these shows fucking rocked...

-as rumored, squashed, and un-squashed, Led Zeppelin will reunite for a tribute concert for the late Ahmet Ertegun November 26 in London; if all goes well a 2008 world reunion tour seems likely

-just when you thought it wasn't possible, the Echo Project got even awesomer with MMW, RAQ, and Bassnectar joining the bill among others

-Neil Young's going on tour this Fall (speaking of, check out this Farm Aid review)

...and I will keep trying to post while buried under the weight of the law...unless I move to Russia instead

This Week in the World

Wow it's been a busy week - and with Bonnaroo only a day away there's hardly time for any of it...

-the Lollapalooza schedule was released...let's just say I could be more upset about missing it this year...

-speaking of underwhelming schedules, Hidden Track previews the key Bonnaroo schedule conflicts

-Farm Aid will take place in New York City in early September

-Rage Against the Machine added an Alpine Valley show

-G. Love, Slightly Stoopid, and Ozomatli announced the Summer Haze Tour

-Page breaks out Army of One in Indy...

-Mountain Jam gets reviewed

-the Live Music Blog takes a hiatus

-oh yeah, and go get the latest Nugscast before Bonnaroo! (side question: does this mean that 08/13/93 at the Murat will be the next LivePhish release?)

-if you're looking for more music, get your Ben Harper on over a Rock Music Daily

-and for a good laugh, a heckling fan (of better music) provoked a fight at last night's Fall Out Boy show in Chicago
