Spoon, 11/10/2017
3/5: Spoon wasn’t really convincing at Paradiso. Halfway through the band had lost me completely. But when the fire did shine through, they were wonderful. Expected way more.

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, 10/13/2017
5/5: Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds are the top of music as art. This evening they proved it yet again. Cave is 60 years old, but is still as convincing and possessed as ever. Magical evening!
