Creedence Clearwater Revisited was forged by original Creedence
Clearwater Revival band members Doug "Cosmo" Clifford and Stu Cook.
Creedence Clearwater Revisited has toured the world, and crowd reaction to
the band's concerts has been astounding, driven in piece by a generation of
kids wHO, as drummer Doug "Cosmo" Clifford says, "weren't even born when
the music came out."
In summation to Clifford and Cook, Creedence Clearwater Revisited
includes atomic number 82 singer/rhythm guitar player John Tristao, lead guitarist Tal
Morris, and multi-instrumentalist Steve Gunner on keyboard, acoustic
guitar, percussion and harmonica.
The band thrills audiences with classics like "Susie Q," "Lodi," "Proud
Mary," "Down On The Corner," "Fortunate Son" and "Who'll Stop The Rain,"
songs critics have called some of the charles Herbert Best American rock 'n' roll ever scripted and
recorded. The hits remain a staple of radio and movie soundtracks.
Also coming into court is America, which rode onto the top of the pop charts in
1972 with their hit "A Horse with No Name." Blending rock and folk to
create their signature sound, Gerry Beckley, Dewey Bunnell, and Dan Peek
(who left the circle in 1977) created an amazing blend of rock candy, pop, and folk
sounds and created defining songs of the 1970s, such as "Ventura Highway,"
"Tin Man," "Sister Golden Hair," "You Can do Magic," "I Need You" and
"Lonely People."
The band tells this story around their name: "We were living in England
at the time. Our fathers were all in the U.S. Air Force stationed outside
of London. Dan and Dewey were working in a cafeteria on the base, and there
was a jukebox called 'The Americana' in the corner. That's where we got the
melodic theme, and the more we thought about it the better it seemed to explain our
origins. It did aim a small confusing. When we at long last did come to the
U.S. to perform, the ads said, 'Live from England ... America!'"
Tickets for Creedence Clearwater Revisited and America are $55 and ar
available now at Spotlight29.com, at the Spotlight 29 Casino Gift Shop or
by vocation Star Tickets at (800) 585-3737. Show time is 8 p.m.
Put the spotlight on playfulness at Spotlight 29 Casino, the Coachella Valley's

The Last Shadow Puppets play storming Reading Festival set
The Last Shadow Puppets had to restart their set at Reading Festival tonight (August 24) due to sound problems.
After coming onstage at the NME/Radio 1 Tent, the dance orchestra launched straight into 'Calm Like You' � just sound problems meant that Alex Turner�s guitar, as well as much of the 16-piece orchestra supporting the set, couldn�t be heard for the continuance of the song.
At its remainder, Turner asked the crowd together: "Shall we do it again? Ever so no-good about that. You merit better, you've been around all weekend and you're tired, you want the full thing."
As Miles Kane restarted the song, the orchestra and Turner kicked in at full bulk � a great deal to the crowd's delight.
The band played a set relying heavily on their debut record album, with title track 'The Age Of The Understatement', causing much of the crowd to surge onward towards the stage.
With little chat to the audience, Kane and Turner rather chatted to each former between the songs, although a series of crowdsurfers towards the end of the band's set particularly impressed Kane, who acknowledged them with a beaming smile and supportive shake of his fist.
The band's set complete with an extended orchestra-only piece, played at the end of 'In My Room'. While Kane one time again gestured to the crowd, Turner simply faced the orchestra and clapped, before reverting to the microphone to thank fans.
The Last Shadow Puppets played:
'Calm Like You'
'The Age Of The Understatement'
'Black Plant'
'Only The Truth'
'The Chamber'
'Gas Dance'
'My Mistakes Were Made For You'
'Hang The Cyst'
'Separate And Ever Deadly'
'I Don't Like You Anymore'

Plenty of your hipper bands mightiness variegate their influences number with acts like Tortoise, Charles Mingus, and the Neptunes just to shew they are cool. With the risky, sprawl, and somehow unagitated Jaga Jazzist, you can actually listen it. The ten-piece, jazz-meets-electronics band from Norway came to life in 1994 when their independent brain and songster Lars Horntveth was only 14. Two days by and by their debut record album, Jævla Jazzist Grete Stitz, appeared, and Norwegians got their beginning discernment of the band's combination of jazz chops and electronic crotchet. Two days after that the Magazine EP appeared, merely it was 2001's A Livingroom Hush that grabbed all the aid imputable to mouth off reviews and dispersion by Warner Brothers in their country of origin. Coldcut's label, Ninja Tune, picked the album up for world-wide distribution in 2002 and BBC radio listeners laurelled it the "Jazz Album of the Year." The remix-based Creature Chin appeared at the end of 2002 and was followed in 2003 by Stix, an album that constitute the banding using more electronics without the help of remixers.

Russell Baillie : Shine on, you crazy Diamond
If you grew up in the early 70s in New Zealand, Diamond was the sound of the suburbs. Good Lordy. Will you look at that? Neil Diamond is number one, here, there and everywhere.First Indiana Jones comes roaring back from one ancient tomb of pop culture, now the only slightly older Diamond is again the pop star he hasn't been in quite some time. Well, that's in terms of chart placings anyway, and they aren't what they once were in the sales-to-top-spot ratio.But there it is - Home Before Dark has given him his first US number one album ever of the 50 or so he's released. It's topped the charts in Britain. It's also his first number one in New Zealand in 30 or so years since those heady, hairy-chested days of Beautiful Noise, Hot August Night and, lest we forget, You Don't Bring Me Flowers (that Streisand-sung hook is stuck in your brain now isn't it? Sorry about that. We'll find some better tunes to replace it with soon. Promise).If you grew up in the early 70s in New Zealand, Diamond was the sound of the suburbs. Bob Dylan - previously the oldest man to have a US number one album before Diamond pipped him last week - might have been the voice of the great 60s uprising and like, really important. But Diamond was all pervading, the pop of the people. You didn't have to have his albums in the house to know his songs. They were just there, like the weather which was always better back then.
If you were a kid interested in adding something groovy to your guitar or piano lessons, his sheet music was mysteriously thrust upon your easel. I can almost remember how Sweet Caroline goes on the piano, an instrument the song was clearly never designed for (altogether now: "Touching me ... touching youuuuuuu ..."). My mate Nigel, a man who hides his vast musical talents behind a mild-mannered exterior and a proper career, can top that though. He has a treasured tape of him as a pre-adolescent voice singing and playing Crunchy Granola Suite on the guitar in a talent quest. After a few drinks we've been known to drag it out and fall about the room laughing at is sheer cuteness. I remain jealous that Nigel mastered a Diamond tune and I never really did. Though he did pick one about muesli. Back then, I also attempted to learn to play I Am, I Said by thumping its hydraulic chord changes on the family upright. It was never going to work. But it did give me one of my first lyrical conundrums, that very odd "not even the chair" line. Was his lyric so existentially powerful that random bits of furniture got caught up in its vortex? Or was it just an easy rhyme? And if a song that title had been a painting, would it have been a McCahon? You can have much fun contemplating the vast depths of the old Diamond mine. Especially as his songs are wrapped up in childhood memories - pre-teen, pre-record buying, pre-music snob. And now, so many years later, Diamond is still with us. He's still as regular as Elvis on Stars in their Eyes. Even Elvis covered the songs of the man they called "the Jewish Elvis". He's just popped up on American Idol mentoring this year's warblers, which may have something to do with his US and international chart momentum. And he's apparently writing 'em like he used to. Well sort of. Diamond offers up some gems on Home Before Dark. But if you like it, go get the previous slightly better one 12 Songs. He also did that one with producer Rick Rubin - the studio guru who made Johnny Cash's final albums some of the best he had ever done. One of them included a version of Solitary Man. My mate Nigel can do a pretty good version of that, too.
