Concerts of the Year, 2015

“Live music is better/bumper stickers should be issued” – so says the bard, Neil Young, on “Union Man” (from Hawks & Doves).

Sad to say, the past year hasn’t been filled with many shows – far fewer, in fact, than in years past. Still, I was lucky to witness some memorable performances. (To read my reviews of the selected shows, click on the artists’ names.)

1) Neil Young & Promise of the Real @ Susquehanna Bank Center in Camden, N.J., 7/16/15.

2) Paul McCartney @ the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, 6/21/2015

3) Melody Gardot @ the Merriam Theater in Philadelphia, 10/9/15.

4) Rumer @ the World Cafe Live in Philadelphia, 4/7/15

5) Stephen Stills @ the Keswick Theatre, 7/9/15

And one bonus:

6) First Aid Kit @ XPoNential Music Festival at Wiggins Park in Camden, 7/25/15
