Concert Review: Richie Sambora Blends New & Old At Henry Fonda Show
Richie Sambora performed material from his new album "Aftermath of A Lowdown" along with a few Bon Jovi classics in a 2 hour set that had Los Angeles rocking. The show was a benefit for Hurricane Sandy will all profits going to the Red Cross.
The new material was strong and his band was spot in with David Ryan Harris backing him up on guitar. BTW, if you get to Sambora's solo shows, make sure to get there early as David Ryan Harris is also the opening act.
Sambora kept the crowd enthused throughout the show. He said "I know you guys want to hear the Bon Jovi stuff and I promise you, we will get to it." They did, but the new material was so strong, it was an added bonus.
I heard from two other concert-goers they enjoyed Richie's take on "I'll Be There For You" and "Livin' On A Prayer" because they feel Richie's voice is fuller than Jon's nowadays.
For good measure, Sambora even covered "Hungry Heart" by Bruce Springsteen. At the time of writing, there are no further Sambora solo shows listed and he is slated to start touring with Bon Jovi in early 2013.-DocFB

Review: PRINCE & Andy Allo Make The “Housequake” At The Sayers Club
Prince performed along with Andy Allo at the Sayers Club on Tuesday night for a crowd just over 200 in Hollywood.
After seeing Prince perform on Jimmy Kimmel Live, I headed over to The Sayers Club where I met Damaris Lewis, the model and guest dancer for Prince on his latest tour and we did a quick interview.
You had to check your cellphones at the door, so I knew that meant no tweeting of songs performed while they were happening like I have done in the past before writing a full review.
I strike up a conversation with Hannah Ford, Prince's guest drummer, and her husband Josh and talk about the experience she has had since joining the NPG. Through the night I talk with Elissa Fiorilo-Deese, Ida, and John Blackwell, the coolest people for sure.
It is around 12:20 when Andy Allo and her band enter with the horns playing as the entered stage left.

Artist Spotlight: Nikka Costa Takes Over California

Nikka Costa invaded California last week for 2 shows in Southern California and 2 shows in Northern California and the funk was hot, sweaty, and nasty.
The San Francisco shows were straight fire as you would expect. The shows in San Juan Capistrano and Redondo Beach brought out some real music lovers with Nikka doing about a 95 minute set alone in Redondo Beach, playing a plethora of her back catalog sans "Push & Pull" and I'm not sure if it was played at her other shows.

Van Halen Los Angeles Forum Review: Homecoming

Van Halen did a 15 song set at the Los Angeles Forum last night. It was the final dress rehearsal and featured thousands of their friends and family.
It was supposed to be a "secret show" but was one of the worst kept secrets as we and others leaked the info shortly before noon yesterday. Kool & The Gang opened the show as they will for the tour and they brought the good time funk. It seems like a weird combo for a tour but it works.
