The show will be broadcast starting at 9 p.m. Eastern, and will air on continuous loop for the next 72 hours. Starting February 3, you'll be able to listen to it song-by-song at your own pace.

Goin to see him Weds night at Bridgestone and am pretty stoked.

I saw him at a music fest last summer and dude just straight up shreds on the guitar. We were about 3 football fields from the stage so im looking forward to being right by the stage on Weds night.

Can anyone suggest a good site for local show listings? All I ever find is exhaustion when trying to see what's happening. Seriously, it would be easier to drive around town reading marquees I think.

My local paper's calender is every single artist at every single venue. While some people might be interested that JamBug and the Szechuans are playing at Crazy Eddie's Monday at 1:30 PM, I wish there was something easier to navigate/sort or whatever. Even if it was just sort by 'bands anyone has ever heard of, ever.' I'll try the suggestions here. Thanks.

In Austin, there's only a couple companies that sell the majority of the concert tickets, so I subscribe to their e-mail lists (on my junk account) and read the "just announced" section to see if there's anybody I might be interested in seeing. Dunno if that would work in Portland, and having to read the e-mails may be annoying sometimes, so ymmv, but it works ok for me.

Another option that you don't have to keep up with as much, especially if you are interested in "bands anyone has ever heard of," is to just check the websites of the venues where those type of bands play.

Cranking the Gypsy Kings. Remember back in the late 80s when they hit it big and you could go to a party even in Newfoundland and hear Baile! Baile! Baile! ?

I want to learn how to love /
Not just the feeling /
Bear all the consequences /
And I want to learn how to love /
And give it all back /
And be forgiven for all I’ve done
