...Traveler plans a small tour leading up to a July 4 appearance at Red Rocks Amphitheatre near Denver, resuming a seven-year tradition that was interrupted in 1999 by the health problems of frontman John Popper. The band is currently working on its first album since the death of bassist Bobby Sheehan. Phish will tour the country, and the Allman Brothers Band and Steve Miller are also on tap at venues nationwide...
...full of surprises, showcasing Keenan in front of softer ballads ("3 Libras"), drum machine and sample and extensive strong arrangements ("Rose"). What? Is that a violin? Yes, Tool fans. You will be shocked to find that A Perfect Circle employs a permanent violinist, Paz Lenchantin, who doubles as the bassist.

...ravers were content with singing along to every word. Stefani pranced around the stage to all the hits, spinning her "Spider Web" and tell us "Don't Speak." Her attempts at flirting and posing for the crowd were uncharacteristically unsuccessful, as the mostly female crowd was more interested in bassist and Stefani ex-boyfriend Tony Kanal, the actual subject of the new single "Ex-Girlfriend." When the crowd did start jumping for "Excuse Me Mister", the bouncers helped numerous smaller girls exit the sweaty madness, a series of altruistic actions that were first in my concert history. In a similar...
