Introducing Stage 48

It seems there is a new venue in NYC.  And by 'new venue', I mean an old horse stable that was built in the 1950s and converted into a concert hall.  Stage 48 opened a few months back, and although there doesn't seem to be much publicity popping up around this place, there are a few notable rock legends scheduled to play.   Uli Jon Roth (you know him from the Scorpions) will take the stage for an all-day "Sky Seminar", which starts at 8am!  Concert will be later at night.  The website has basically no info on what the seminar includes, but the fact that doors open at 6am and it starts at 8am seems bizarro to me.

Also hitting up the stage (48) will be Y&T on March 23rd.  This one looks like it will be a normal concert, so 6am door call here.

These albums are great....

except for the horrible covers.

An unlikely pairing

Who woulda thunk that Tarja Turunen (best known for fronting Nightwish) would mix well with the Scorpions.  Both Tarja and Klaus have BIG vocals, and together they sound great on this new Scorps song "The Good Die Young".   Here's a live version of the song from some German tv show, but she's also featured on the album.  I actually like it!
