Toto – The Mann Center – Philadelphia, PA – July 26, 2026 – Photo by Jordan Wagner © 2026 Toto, Christopher Cross & The Romantics – The Mann Center – Philadelphia, PA – July 26, 2026 Toto supplied the night, baby, and Christopher Cross supplied the love. Well, that’s not completely fair, all three acts in this back-to-the-80s nostalgia tour had their share of love songs and their share of rockers – sometimes both at the same time. This is the second straight summer tour that

Todd Rundgren – The Keswick Theatre – Glenside, PA – July 12, 2026 – Photo by George Seth Wagner © 2026 Todd Rundgren – The Keswick Theatre – Glenside, PA – July 12, 2026 Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Todd Rundgren returned home for two sold-out shows. Well at least to the Philadelphia area, sadly his home neighborhood venue, Upper Darby’s legendary Tower Theater, has been closed since soon after the pandemic. So he crossed the city and hit Glenside’s similar Keswick Theatre fo

David Lee Roth – The Keswick Theatre – Glenside, PA – May 19, 2026 – Photo by George Seth Wagner © 2026 David Lee Roth – The Keswick Theatre – Glenside, PA – May 19, 2026 About four songs into David Lee Roth’s recent gig at the Keswick, my 20-something photographer turned to me and said, “That’s got to be the horniest 70-year-old I’ve ever seen.” He meant it – and I took it – as a compliment. Because even 48 years after the release of first Van Halen album, David Lee Roth is

Mark McGrath, Kevin Griffin and Emerson Hart of Ezra Ray Hart Emerson Hart of Ezra Ray Hart Rocking the 90s and the Holidays by Jay S. Jacobs If you were going to a lab to cobble together a 90s alt-rock supergroup, it would be hard to come out with a stronger lineup than Ezra Ray Hart. The band is made up of the lead singers of three different hitmaking bands from that decade. As you might guess from the new band’s name, it features Sugar Ray leader Mark McGrath, Better Than

10cc – Keswick Theatre – Glenside, PA – September 10, 2025 – Photo by George Seth Wagner © 2025 10cc – Keswick Theatre – Glenside, PA – September 10, 2025 Last July, 10cc played in the Philly area for the first time in decades. In my review of that show, I closed out with the line: “Seeing 10cc live was a bucket list experience which was worth the wait. Let’s just hope they don’t take another 46 years to come back.” Turns out we didn’t have to wait again. Just over a year lat

Billy Idol – TD Pavilion at The Mann – Philadelphia, PA – August 16, 2025 – Photo by Kaylee Marie © 2025 Billy Idol & Joan Jett and the Blackhearts – TD Pavilion at The Mann – Philadelphia, PA – August 16, 2025 It was the ‘80s all over again at the Mann as two of the biggest names of pop-punk took dives into their popular songbooks. Both acts still have their angry young musical energy, even if neither of them is young anymore, and also probably don’t have as much to be angry

My Chemical Romance My Chemical Romance & Alice Cooper – Citizen Bank Park – Philadelphia, PA – August 15, 2025 Rock will never die, or in this case we could say that alt rock will never die, either. This past weekend my associate and I had the pleasure of seeing New Jersey’s own My Chemical Romance and Alice Cooper perform at Citizen Bank Park in Philadelphia. It’s hard to choose where to begin with these performances, so I suppose I should say that I was blown away by the s

The show – which was rescheduled from last summer when Starr fell ill at the end of his previous tour around the country – was long-awaited and well worth the wait. Of
