Expecting to Fly




I got a call from my buddy Fred Salazar this morning. Fred has family obligations in Santa Barbara and offered me his tickets to see the Buffalo Springfield reunion at the Bridge Benefit at Shoreline later in the month. Free. Saturday show. Took me a millisecond to say yes. Here is the lineup:

Saturday Lineup:
  • Buffalo Springfield
  • Pearl Jam
  • Elvis Costello
  • Merle Haggard and Kris Kristofferson
  • Lucinda Williams
  • Billy Idol
  • Jackson Browne and David Lindley
  • Modest Mouse
  • Grizzly Bear
Sunday Lineup:
  • Buffalo Springfield
  • Pearl Jam
  • T-Bone Burnett’s Speaking Clock Revue featuring Elton John & Leon Russell, Elvis Costello, Ralph Stanley, Neko Case and Jeff Bridges
  • Merle Haggard and Kris Kristofferson
  • Modest Mouse
  • Grizzly Bear
I am excited to see all of the bands, especially Merle Haggard. Merle and Lucinda, wow. Will get a chance to drive up and see my dad and a bunch of friends. Thanks, Fred.

That's an all-star cast I'd like to see. The tickets must cost a fortune!

the beauty of bands like Springfield (and the Doors, and the Beatles even) is that they were around for a few years, they were great, and then they were gone; no hanging around past their prime; but one time reunions are cool, like Cream did a few years back; it should be a very good show.
