  Concert listings on the summer site have always been divided by city and date, for all cities combined and for each of the three areas covered. Over the years, some viewers have requested a page listing the concerts by type of music. Trying to separate the concerts by type of music (without adding a search function) has been problematic for several reasons. First, some cities and venues do not list information on the type of music for every concert, only the band/artist name. Second, some bands list the type of music they play in widely divergent categories (such as R&B/Dance/Latin Jazz), making it difficult to place them in any one format. Finally, some cities/venues with events featuring multiple bands do not list any of the groups individually, using phrases such as "live music all day long." This page was added as an attempt to accomodate requests for concert listings by type of music. The categories which will be included (to date) are listed below. Performances from all three areas (Los Angeles County, Orange County and the Inland Empire) are incorporated together and listed in order by the day of the performance. Bands found in the listings with no indication as to type of music played will not be included here, but bands are welcome to send an e-mail to the site with information to be added to the listings. Please anticipate that this page will be available a day or two after the general city and date listings are posted each month.

     This year a new facility opened in Anaheim called the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center (ARTIC). The facility sits across the street from the Honda Center and across the 57 Freeway from Angels Stadium. During the day, driving by and looking at the structure from the freeway, it looks something like a puffy gray half dome with walkways leading to the train tracks which border the facility. At night, however, the lights inside can be spectacular. Sometimes solid colors, sometimes varying and rotating colors, the lights give the interior a unique glow. The photos on this page were taken earlier this year in the facility, both during the day and at night, showing how the facility changes appearance in varying types of light. The long panoramic photo of the interior in the "Classical Music" section below is available as a framed panoramic print, 12" x 36."
