• Review: Al Green at the Midland

  Al Green Saturday, November 29 The Midland Better than: The time I took my first communion in front of the full congregation, knowing damn well I didn't believe any of it.

Al Green doled out a set more perfunctory than a La Quinta breakfast bar. Seeing Green at the Midland really was like going to church.

But starting March 18 and going through April 17, you can buy tickets for $10 at the Jazz Museum Box Office (816-474-6262) or through Ticke
