They are releasing tickets on the GAMH site now. I just snagged second row for the 9th.

Thanks for the heads up, Zooey.  Got a Balcony for the 9th!

I snagged a pair of seats, crappy table in the balcony corner but it's in the door!

Pair of Row J's available now at $125 each + $20 service fee.

Actually now that I figured out the seating chart in the balcony I actually got a pretty good table

Dylan @ Fox conflict? (for some)

LLoLLo,

Moonalice in GGP Bandshell/ 6-3    4pm 

 I know its MA but... 

A reserved seat show at the GAMH?

That's odd.

I don't think I've ever heard of such a thing.

To those who go, enjoy.

Happy Birthday Taj

80 years young

Wonder if these shows are one-offs?  Heard someone say that they were bringing it to Seattle at Jazz Alley, but there is no mention of it at Jazz Alley's site.  Taj's site lists these shows and a couple of other NorCal shows without Ry.  Ry's site has no shows listed.  
 

Either way, I'm grateful to be in for Thursday.  Ry has recorded a live album at GAMH, so he is probably very comfortable with the venue.  I've never been there, which makes it that much more interesting for me.  This show sort of fell in my lap, as I was planning to visit my brother, sister-in-law, and nephew in Mill Valley.  The show was a nice bit of serendipity.  

A reserved seat show at the GAMH? That's odd.

I saw a David Crosby show there once that was reserved. It's kind of strange.

I'm listening to the new album by Taj and Ry Cooder titled Get on Board.

GET ON BOARD is Ry Cooder and Taj Mahal’s first collaboration in more than 50 years is trivia and nothing more—these guys have sounded ancient since they were teenagers, and, like the folk-blues legends Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee to whom they pay tribute here, they never cared about trend or passage of time such as it pertains to art. Even those only glancingly exposed to American folk music know these songs: “Pick a Bale of Cotton,” “Drinkin’ Wine Spo-Dee-O-Dee,” “I Shall Not Be Moved,” “The Midnight Special.” And while artists like Muddy Waters and Howlin’ Wolf followed the raw, modern sound of the electric guitar, Terry and McGhee remained stubbornly unplugged, as connected to the white folk of Pete Seeger as the Black blues of their Southern forebears. Some songbooks come alive with fresh interpretation; GET ON BOARD does its source justice by doing nearly nothing at all.

Check it out, it's really good. I assume this will be the frame of the show plus some additional tunes.

Bobby just posted a "happy birthday" solo (with his wife present) to Taj on FB ...
