The first is <b>Rocket From the Tombs</b> on Sunday. This is the proto-punk band whose members went on to form <b>Pere Ubu</b> and <b>The Dead Boys</b>. They've re-formed with the original members, minus the late Peter Laughner. <b>Television's</b> ex-guitarist Richard Lloyd has taken Laughner's place in the lineup. A while back I posted a review of the excellent <b>Day the Earth Met the Rocket from the Tombs</b> on this board. Judging from that disk and the history of these guys, this has the potential to be a great show.

The second is <b>Lyle Lovett, Joe Ely, Guy Clark and John Hiatt</b> at Bass Hall on Tuesday and Wednesday. Wow!!!

Sad to say, I won't be in attendance at either. Oh well.
