Battle of the Bands Results:: The Smoke Has Cleared

Here is a fun cover to start this post. The current guitarist  for Deep Purple Steve Morse and the guitar player from Mr. Big  jamming on Led Zeppelin's "Back Dog."

Paul's band Mr. Big received three votes in my last Battle of the Bands. The winner was the band I dubbed "The Rock and Roll All Stars" who garnered 5 votes.

The All Stars included Paul Rodgers, Bryan Adams, David Gilmour, Brian May, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, RUSH and more.

After  tie we have a winner and we will move to something different in February!

Battle of the Bands: Overtime More Smoke

My last Battle of the Bands ended as a tie. I thought I would try and fine two more covers of the iconic "Smoke on the Water."

The original if you needed a reminder..

The two below are the contenders. I ask you leave a comment telling me which one you liked the best. The winner is the one with the most votes.

Contender One: Mr. Big

Contender Two: Rock All Stars

Who will win? The 80s/90s rock band Mr. Big or the band I am dubbing the Rock All Stars. You all decide. I look forward to your votes.

Different Adams: Bryan and Ryan

This week I was able to review two concerts.One was on Monday and one on Tuesday. Both of them were at the fabulous Strathmore Music Center in Bethesda, Maryland. The artists even had rhyming names Bryan Adams and Ryan Adams. Similarities continued as both artists were performing without bands. The music however was very different and I enjoyed both shows.

Bryan Adams


Here is a link to my review of the Bryan Adams show. I was thrilled to find out the review made it onto Bryan Adams official website. Here is a song he played that evening off of his "Bare Bones" album.

Ryan Adams


At this show I had the pleasure of meeting a die hard Ryan Adams fan and she liked my review! Here is a link to that review. Here is a song he performed at that show. It is his final show before the encores. Here is is thanks to youtube..
