I was going to go with Wilco but this past weekend I saw Branford Marsalis play for almost 2 hours solo in Grace Cathedral in San Francisco. The church has about a 6-7 second echo. Between the tunes he picked and the way he pointed his sax, the echo of the church became integral to the songs; certain notes seemed to just go on forever. Almost hypnotic but absolutely incredible

drewski711, that sounds wonderful - he's such a genius to begin with. That said, I'm not sure I'm following correctly, please help me out: when you said echo, did you mean echo as in a singular note repeating or "answering itself" after a 6-7 second delay or did it SUSTAIN (think of it as reverb) making that note "go on and on" for 6-7 seconds after first played? Thx.

Florence and the Machine last week Oct 10th in Albuquerque. It was her final headlining show in the USA and it was a religious experience.

I liked the folk and bluegrass festival in our downtown Gallivan Center concert area. It was a free show.

I really enjoyed Red Molly.

Red June was excellent as well.

Ricky Skaggs came to the Red Butte amphitheater a few years ago. He's one of my favorites and that is a really great summer concert venue.
