4.09.11: Portland, OR United States

It's AWESOME already, and it's months away.

I've already crapped my pants in excitement at seeing this band in this tiny venue that hasn't done live music very much and has a horrific room and sound system. But RIGHT there, will be our baseball loving musical heroes.

I remember buying my first baseball card from some kid for three dollars, who laughed at me since it was barely worth a dime. But it was Pittsburgh Pirate Bobby Bonilla, and I thought he was cute and carried the card everywhere with me in my purple plastic wallet.

That is what this show will feel like all over again: first love of a great game.

WHAT AN UNFORGETTABLE NIGHT!!!!

I have seen 10 Steve´s shows, 7 Steve, 1 Steve and Australian Blonde, 1 Guterball, 1 Dream Syndicate and I am sure that I will never forget the firt and last one, both in Vitoria. I was 21 years old in 1981 when Dream Syndicate arrive to Vitoria and show me the power of rock and now with 45 year in my bag, they take me back to my youth. What a night. I saw in Bilbao a week before and enjoy the new songs and his usual energy but in Vitoria they give us a magical night ended whit four encores full of passion and gratefullness. And as always Steve came down to sign and speak and salute to all of us.

Thannk you. I repeat the same sentence I told you that night: "You always make me happy".

I hope not to wait so long for the next time.

Excellent show from Steve and Jason! Standing room only crowd in this cozy record store. Steve was personable and funny, took lots of requests (for lots of Velvets songs, lol) and played most of them. Kid stumped him by requesting Freak Star. A great evening's entertainment by a super songwriter. It was nice to be able to hear all of Steve's great lyrics.

9.12.09: Clark, NJ United States

Arriving from Newark Airport to the Union County Musicfest stage in a police squad car, the members of the Minus 5/Baseball Project/Steve Wynn IV today crafted a set built on the momentum of their arrival in Clark, NJ. The Baseball Project’s “Past Time” opened the show loudly and on solid footing even though the at-times soaking rain and surrounding mist limited the attendance at the Fest. The set included a nice balance of songs from the members’ musical experiences. Baseball Project, Minus 5, Fine Fresh Fellows, and Dream Syndicate tunes comprised the mix. I hope I’m not forgetting any more. The band is definitely benefiting from time together on the road and playing together every night. Scott and Steve traded leads throughout and this process made for a nice flow and ebb. Peter kept the rhythm on bass throughout and one can’t say enough about Linda Pitmon. After finishing her red bull right before the show’s start, she rocked her kit full tilt (I even scored a broken drum stick in the shape of a “T”) and provided complementary backing vocals. Although this was a shortened set because of the festival time format and stage shifting for alternating bands, the band reached its peak for the last five songs. Scott’s crunching guitar solos on his green beauty and Steve’s guitar gems on his Fender Jaguar lifted the show to a really tight, loud, and rocking crescendo. Songs included in the full set were “The Closer,” “Let the Good Times Crawl,” “Ted Fucking Williams,” “Yankee Flipper,” “Ambulance Dance Hall,” and “Dark Hand of Contagion.” Scott told the crowd to give him the finger during future "Yankee Flipper" versions. “Harvey Haddix” included an updated bridge and vocal shout out to include the recent perfect game thrown by the White Sox’s Mark Buehrle, and Scott gave a creeper intro to every musician’s nightmare for “The Lurking Barrister.” But perhaps the show highlight for this reviewer was the band’s version of the Dream Syndicate’s “That’s What You Always Say.” I was also hoping for DS’s “Tell Me When It’s Over” since I saw of great version of it on You Tube from the band’s recent free show in Portland. But I’ll have to wait, maybe, for it in Philly on Tuesday. The Minus 5 closed with a fierce“Aw Shit Man” and that summed up my feelings on it being the end since the band just started to get heated. I did try to get Scott’s set list but was denied by a Fest stagehand, so the below track listing is incomplete and not in order. But each band member’s congeniality in meeting fans immediately after the show put this reviewer in a wet good mood…photo op with Mr. Buck…CD signed by Ms. Pitmon and Mr. Wynn…and nice conversation. Can’t wait for the COMPLETE show at the World Café Live on Tuesday. Schuylkill Expressway, I will stare you down like an effective closer, which the Philadelphia Phillies desperately need right now. I’m feeling that The Baseball Project will deliver in Philly!

Not complete and not in order. I was denied Scott's set list by a Festival stagehand. Damn!

7.19.09: Freehold, NJ United States

This show was played in an intimate studio setting provided by hosts Mark & Elaine as part of their "Concerts In The Studio" series. Bassist Dave DeCastro couldn't make the show due to logistical reasons, so for one afternoon the Miracle 3 became the "Miracle 2". This may be the last time "Harvey Haddix" was played in it's current lyrical form - four days later White Sox pitcher Mark Buehrle became the 18th pitcher in MLB history to throw a perfect game.

10.07.08: Oslo Norway

Steve ended the show with When you smile. Great show, John Coltrane with Rodrigo on violin, wow!!

10.07.08: Oslo Norway

Just a quick note to confirm that Steve and band played an extremely good gig in Oslo too. This was my second gig with Steve and the first full band gig, so I'm by no means an expert on his career.

But here's my opinion anyway. Steve's songs are literate and tell a story worth listening to. When you package this with one of the best rythm sections I've heard it must be good. And good it was.

The highlight of the evening for me was The Deep End. It felt like some kind of catharsis. Pure beauty. Better than the recorded versions.

Mid gig just Steve and Rodrigo repackaged Boston in a way that suited this gem perfectly.

A couple of songs, one of them Carolyn, was done with the full band in the middle of the audience. The audience (and me) responded very well to this with a nice singalong.

Other highlights for me: I Don't Deserve This, The Medicine Show, John Coltrane Stereo Blues, My Midnight, Wait Until You Get To Know Me.

Not so good: The Dragon Bridge record is good, but not worth 8-10 songs. Knowing how good Steve's back catalog is, he could have exchanged some of them for better, older songs. I must also admit to missing Jason Victor on some songs. The gig ended somewhat abruptly, maybe the band was tired or maybe I wasn't paying attention.

I can't believe there wasn't more than 100-200 people attending, it was a marvellous gig.

The set list was quite similar to the others reported on this tour with 8-10 songs from the Dragon Bridge album. Steve and Rodrigo did a very good version of Boston for us, they did Carolyn and the last full band song was a wild version of John Coltrane Stereo Blues. The show ended with Steve doing a solo electric version of a song I can't remember the name of (Anyone?).

9.30.08: Dortmund Germany

I’ve seen quite a few Steve Wynn shows and I almost always feel like the last one was his best show. Saw the Steve Wynn Acoustic Trio (with Erik van Loo & Robert Lloyd) presenting the songs of “Crossing Dragon Bridge” earlier this year and really enjoyed them but this time I didn’t know what to expect: Rodrigo D’Erasmo (violin), Chris Cacavas (keyboard), Chris Eckman (guitar) added around the core players Steve, Linda & Erik van Loo.

They started off with the slow opener of Crossing Dragon Bridge: “Slovenian Rhapsody I”, beautiful violin, well sung. The second song was “Bring The Magic” and it was like the band brought the MAGIC into the venue: what an amazing sound and atmosphere these guys produced, an awesome dramaturgy with the rocking songs of Crossing Dragon Bridge, some slower songs (“Tears Won’t Help”, “The Deep End”, “My Midnight”, …) and the beautiful ballad “She Came” (just Steve with acoustic guitar & Rodrigo on violin) as the turning point, then back to the rockers before the band jumped into the audience and did an unplugged version of “Slovenian Rhapsody II”, walked out of the room, came back into the room a minute later to finish that song and did another unplugged in-audience song (“Wait Until You Get To Know Me” on request). Then back on stage and ending this phenomenal show with “Medicine Show” and “Amphetamine”. An unbelievable event that was worth each and every cent.

Chris Cacavas did a great job, Chris Eckman’s guitar playing style was so different from Jason Victor’s but great anyway and Rodrigo D’Erasmo is a sun of a gun on violin. Erik van Loo is such a versatile and amazing bass player and Linda Pitmon – the goddess of rock drums – demonstrated that she can perfectly add to the ballads.

Steve? Indescribable.

The best Steve Wynn show I ever saw? Well, I guess so …

Don’t miss them…
