Divine Blue Light
Favorite Live Records Playlist
Dearest Reader,
We are barreling towards summertime, gonna be back in the van in a few weeks and hopefully see some friends along the way. As a musician I’ve always identified as a road dog (or dawg lol) even with my history of sometimes agonizing stage fright. It’s why Live Forever is a piece of my heart, a testament to what I’ve spent years- now going on decades dedicating my life to. Being in the room with you all and playing a set with as much honesty and open hearted ness as I can. Going into a show hoping to catch the spirit, to be a channel of a power higher than myself. My greatest heroes do just that. I’ve been meditating on some of my favorite live performances and live albums, so I made you a playlist! Plus sharing my favorite live videos I return to on youtube rabbit holes. Hope you enjoy.


I have been on a Rickie Lee Jones kick lately, and a friend shared this performance with me. I was floored by it, true channeling, playfulness, devout expression.
The queen of live performance, the genius, the legend. There are many Nina Simone performances I could link but sadly many of my favorites have gotten a lil wonky on Youtube, with bad AI editing and tons of text on the screen. This performance is transcendent.
Now onto The Cranberries at the good not evil scary bad 90’s Woodstock in 1994. There is so much hope, youthful spirit and sensitivity in this performance. When the audience sings along I always get a little teary. It also simply rocks? Hard balance to strike!
Finally a performance that is embedded in my DNA, the great Tracy Chapman singing with just her and her acoustic guitar, stopping time and creating magic.
Thank you for hanging with me this week, hope this playlist gets you pumped for a summer of going to see your favorite bands.
Talk next week,
Don’t take any shit!!!!!
