Lou Reed at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville.I enjoyed the show. We walked in during Lou Reed's second song "Sweet Jane" and stayed until the last encore, "Walk On The Wild Side" . In between, Lou Reed played a variety of music from his past. The band was great! I had the usual problem 

with the ushers at the Ryman, trying to prevent me from taking pictures. The pictures are not great, but give you somewhat of a visual picture of the Lou Reed concert at the Ryman.

 YES at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville TN on December 10, 2008

The Yes concert was great! I was not sure what to expect from Yes with a new singer. Temporary replacement singer Benoit David sounded just like Jon Anderson. I will have to admit that,
I have never been a huge Yes fan. I cannot remember ever buying a Yes album or a Yes concert ticket. This show definitely made a Yes fan out of me, if I wasn't already. Legendary guitarist
Steve Howe sounded as good as ever. He even played a short solo set with a tribute guitarist Chet Atkins, including a little finger pickin. Chris Squire put on a good show, besides holding down the bass. His voice blended well with new lead singer Benoit David. Alan White on drums did an excellent job. White played on many of the solo John Lennon songs back in the 1970's. This was an excellent show. We missed the first ten minutes of the show. I was told by a guy sitting next to me that the first few songs were great. He told me that he had driven all the from Chattanooga to see Yes. I would definitely go see Yes again.
