But indications all suggest he's still great; his new single, "I Shot the Sheriff," is teriffic and his history is epic. Clapton is a giant figure in rock. The problem is that the concert will probably sell out fast and be loud and crowded and unmanageable. But bear with it. July...
Today at 34, Hancock heads the most sought-after jazz combo in the U.S. No more warming up the audience for the headliners at all-too-infrequent concert dates. With two Carnegie Hall appearances at this week's Newport Jazz Festival in New York, Hancock kicks off a major headlining tour that will include concerts in such diverse locales as Fort Lauderdale, Cincinnati and Tokyo.

He became a liberal and cultural cause cetebre as city police and D.A.s began to dog him and his performances across the country with...
Late Night Movies are hard to find in Cambridge, save at the Orson Welles. This weekend's midnight presentations are only so-so. George Harrison's Concert for Bangladesh is okay so far as concert documentaries go; Bruce Lee's Fists of Fury is an action-packed waste of time, suitable only for the hard-core...
