...weeks ago, Harvard's Number One Fan hopped over to East Rutherford, N.J., for a RATM and Beastie Boys concert. "We had second level seats, but people were still going nuts, running into each other and into a fence," Thomas said. "I got knocked backwards and hit my teeth on some cement stairs and had to get X-rays." Just another casualty of the revolution...
...group of all-Irish-owned establishments scattered in the not-so-nice areas of town. But according to Mike, the manager, the Harp can get like a "beach pahtay" on some nights with a wacky one-man band downstairs and a kickin' concert upstairs. Live shows at the Harp are a staple. Boston College, Boston University and Suffolk students have all gone wild cheering the likes of Eddie Money and the Jerry Garcia Band over the years...

Its folk platform has become "Americana," a broad, historically oriented aesthetic that unfortunately seems neither to play to the young nor to exhort the masses.

The Nields, however, stole the concert from its stewards, pogo-ing from the mid-90's into a classy alternative stage presence. Half as well known as Baez or Patty Larkin, The Nields were good enough to accidentally give the rest of the concert a sober, if triumphant, denouement feel. Patty Larkin was glaringly down-to-earth by contrast, singing masterful songs that nonetheless seemed a bit long. Baez finished the concert, bringing her niece on for an encore, and in fact her entire set was focused...
