The Flaming Lips and Modest Mouse came to Berkeley Sunday night near the tail end of their summertime co-headlining "Good Times Are Killing Me Tour.” A groovy gathering of punk rockers, hippies, and freaks of all colors and ages assembled for the festivities in the venerable Greek Theatre.

Angélique Kidjo and Yo-Yo Ma combined forces — mighty forces indeed! — for an appearance at Berkeley’s Greek Theatre on Saturday night. This extraordinary collaboration is part of the duo’s current “Sarabande Africaine” tour. The performance delivered on its promise to explore and illuminate the times and places where classical and African music intersected.

The Grateful Dead celebrates its diamond 60th anniversary this year with ENJOYING THE RIDE, a sweeping 60-CD collection that maps an epic cross-country road trip along the "Heady Highway" with stops at storied venues where the music, the moment, and the magic of the Grateful Dead reliably converged.

"It’s strange for me sometimes because I was born in 1992... but I really like the old music." That’s a quote from Billy Strings at his Greek Theatre performance Saturday night. And that’s Billy Strings through and through. But he must also like the “new music” – or perhaps we could call it the “slightly less-old” music of the psychedelic jam world.

On a memorable Saturday night in Berkeley, Dark Star Orchestra brought the spirit of the Grateful Dead back to life at the Greek Theatre, recreating the historic Dead show from July 13, 1984—exactly 40 years later and at the same venue. The evening was a feast for the senses, blending nostalgia with vibrant performances.
