Something to Be Said: A Night with the E Street Shuffle

Parker Millsap at Rough Trade (3/31/15), The Bowery Ballroom (4/1/15) and The Sinclair (4/3/15)

Led Zeppelin’s Robert Plant has, if nothing else, a very distinct sound. It’s a sound that few – if any – try to emulate, and those who do generally fall far short of their mark. Parker Millsap, however, in opening with “You Gotta Move,” had that tight, strained-yet-smooth sound that Zeppelin fans go wild for. His is the voice that hurls itself over the audience like it hurts the singer, going for that rough, raw, hard-hitting kind of sensibility that perfectly embodies the group.

#468 "Elton John" (1970) by Elton John

Elton John is a little bit uneven. "Your Song" is a classic, but one that is uneven itself. I mean, the lyrics are pretty basic. "Take Me To the Pilot", "Sixty Years On", "The Greatest Discovery", "The Cage", and "Border Song" are some of my favorite Elton John songs.
