It was a particularly fine night on June 28, 2019 to attend Jon Brion’s monthly show at Largo at the Coronet. The show was opened by actor/comedian Whitmer Thomas. Special guest was bassist Sebastian Steinberg. Highlights of the evening were: a lot of material was played on celesta, including a version of “Eye of the Tiger” that was taken to a higher level of creativity, a groovy cover of “Don’t You Worry ‘Bout a Thing,” crowd singalongs of “Wish You Were Here” and “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road,” and Jon dusting off his unreleased song “She’s At It Again” and getting moody with grungy Gretsch tones.

No, I really didn’t see any concerts between Jon Brion‘s June show and his show on July 28, 2017 at Largo at the Coronet. Therefore, I was definitely ready for a night out to experience one of the best musicians Los Angeles has to offer. The Largo email the week of the show tantalizingly promised a “Very Special Guest” as well. There was much conjecture as to who this might be. Pleased to hear owner Mark Flanagan introduce David Garza to open the show. At the same time, slightly panicked when Flanny mentioned he was “fighting with the landlord over
The Way It Went – Jon Brion
Summer had arrived in Los Angeles and with the ushering in of higher temperatures and extended sunny evenings, I was once again at Largo at the Coronet for Jon Brion‘s show on Friday, June 30, 2017.
