Dr. Lonnie Smith Trio, Jazz Standard, New York, NY, January 11, 2012, Early Show.
Pulled a nice recording of this set. There is some room noise in the quieter spots - the sound of dishes clanking and such. I also recorded McCoy Tyner at the Blue Note later this same night (coming soon!) and it sounds much better.
The trio:
Dr. Lonnie Smith – Hammond B–3 organ, synths
Jonathan Kreisberg – guitar
Jamire Williams – drums
Rez Abbasi's Invocation, Jazz Standard, New York, NY, December 7, 2011, Late Show
This was the second and last set of the second and last night of a two-night run. These were album release shows for the band's new record Suno Suno, which is well worth your time. I attended this show after interviewing Rez a few days prior for All About Jazz. You can dig that here.

Wilco with support act Nick Lowe, Rumsey Playfield, Central Park, New York, NY, September 22, 2011.
"Nels Cline can conjure wind. He did so mid-way through the third song of Wilco's performance in New York City on September 22. There were several thousand witnesses.
Cline, Wilco's guitarist-cum-audio mad scientist, was at the crest of an intense solo passage in "Ashes of American Flags" when a strong, crisp breeze blew in from the East, lifting the blanket of early evening humidity that was laid over the crowd gathered in Central Park's Rumsey Playground. Wilco is a live band of such extraordinary powers that a supernatural act of meteorological manipulation seems well within their grasp. Cline's was greeted with an appreciative roar from the devoted crowd..."

Mark Olson & Gary Louris at the RELIX Magazine Offices, New York, NY, September 21, 2011.
Mark & Gary were at the RELIX offices performing a few songs to be used as promotional content on the RELIX website behind the new Jayhawks record, Mockingbird Time.
15 - 20 people crammed into the publisher's office to watch the taping, which had the duo on acoustics two songs from the new record, one from the album they cut together a few years back before Mark re-joined the 'hawks and finishing up with their "hit" 'Blue'.
Setlist:
She Walks in So Many Ways
Tiny Arrows
When the Wind Comes Up

Renaissance, The Concert Hall at the Society for Ethical Culture, New York, NY, September 17, 2001.
"Since forming in 1969, Renaissance has amassed a relatively small but passionate fan base. The intense affinity for the band, especially its "classic" line-up (which spanned 1971-1980 and resulted in six studio sets plus one live album), appears not to have diminished with time. The 21st century incarnation of the band, featuring guitarist and principle composer Michael Dunford and vocalist extraordinaire Annie Haslam, have focused on expanding from the core, visiting the band's traditional strongholds in the North East of the United States as well as Eastern Canada, two territories that have always welcomed progressive bands with open arms."
