M. Ward pulled out a cover of Chuck Berry’s “Roll Over Beethoven” to begin the first of four encores last week in Milwaukee. Long as I’ve been a fan, I’ve never heard him cover this tune. It was an absolute scorcher live. If presented with an opportunity to see him on this tour, please don’t pass it up. I’ve added his Milwaukee play to my running tab of favorite concerts from the year thus far.

I really like M. Ward, but he seems like a bit of a prick. Taking that woman’s camera at the beginning of the show, and then milking it for 4 (or was it 5?) one song encores… I was pretty sick of him by the end of the night.
Wow, he sets that guitar on fire. Love it.
