Incoming


Keeping a promise made earlier this week, official Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers social media sites delivered a major announcement today. The band’s Live At The Fillmore 1997 is available for pre-sale and will be released on November 25. There will be five different versions, from the 2-CD set for $19.99 to the 6-LP Uber Deluxe set for $174.98. I landed in the middle and pre-ordered the 4-CD set for $59.98. In addition to 58 tracks on the CDs, it comes with a 32-page booklet, 3 custom guitar picks, a replica All Access laminate, and an embroidered patch. Each version includes some fascinating cover versions, along with the band’s own material.


Seven musicians who are well known on the Chicago club scene will pretend they’re Los Angeles natives in a special tribute called Join Me In L.A. taking place this Friday night at Martyrs’ on Lincoln Avenue. John Mead, Steve Dawson, Alton Smith, Rachel Drew, Tommi Zender, Peter Manis, and Jimmy Tomasello will perform late 60s and the 70s songs by Neil Young, Jackson Browne, Warren Zevon, Linda Rondstadt, and others. The cover charge is a mere $15.


“The Soul Keeper” Gerald McClendon has a show this Saturday night at Club Arcada in St. Charles. The nostalgic venue is part of The Arcada Theatre at 105 E. Main street. Admission is $15, the music starts at 8:30.


If you have a favorite Elvis Costello song (and who doesn’t?) there’s a great chance you’ll hear it in a live setting when he performs 100 Songs And More Over 10 Nights at Gramercy Theater in New York, NY next February. Pre-sale tickets go on sale tomorrow at 10:00 am ET. 


The Chicago Reader will celebrate five decades of being the city’s best-known free paper with a 50ish UnGala at The Museum Of Contemporary Art on November 30. The event will take place on three floors, with four stages of live entertainment; food and beverages from the museum’s own catering service; and raffles. Guests will have the opportunity to purchase exclusive 50ish anniversary merchandise. Tickets start at $25. Congratulations to The Chicago Reader.


The country/punk band The Waco Brothers will be performing songs from their latest album when they return to Hey Nonny in Arlington Heights on December 27. Tickets are now on sale at the venue’s website. 


Reeling2022 - The 40th Chicago LGBTQ International Film Festival kicks off tomorrow, September 22 with a screening of The Shiny Shrimps Strike Back at the Music Box Theatre.
