When smoking was prohibited from most of the area's public buildings a few years ago, the most noxious element associated with live music vanished. Finances aside, my new primary obstacle is time, or rather, the lack of it. Just like most civilians, I crawl out of bed around 6 a.m. Standing around in a club after midnight doesn't appeal to me. That's why I rejoiced when a 15-minute countdown clock (pictured) was posted during the intermission of last night's concert by Jason Bonham's Led Zeppelin Experience. Sure enough, the lights went down when the clock reached 0:00. Such consideration for fans is all too rare. I may never forgive one artist who kept his (former) fans needlessly waiting for over two hours in 2009.

Thanks for the hat-tip. The band in that clip is actually Tamikrest, one of the lesser-known Toureg groups. There is a band called Tinariwen, so this track called 'Aratan N Tinariwen' may be a tribute to them or something. The word 'tinariwen' apparently means 'deserts,' so maybe not.
