Modest Mouse, Jackson Browne, Raphael Saadiq among best concert bets
Briefly

Modest Mouse and Flaming Lips will co-headline at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley on Sept. 7, with Dehd as the opener. Showtime for the Modest Mouse/Flaming Lips show is 6 p.m., and tickets start at $83 at apeconcerts.com. Jackson Browne will perform a two-night stand at the Mountain Winery on Sept. 9-10, with hoped-for songs including Running on Empty, I'm Alive, Somebody's Baby and Fountain of Sorrow; showtime is 7:30 p.m. and tickets start at $124 at mountainwinery.com. Raphael Saadiq celebrates three decades with a show at Davies Symphony Hall on Sept. 8 at 8 p.m.; tickets are $66, and he also performs Sept. 7 in Sacramento at Channel 24 at 7:30 p.m. with $75 tickets.
We don't even know how many times we've seen Modest Mouse over the decades. It's a lot well over two dozen times. But we are still looking forward to adding to that tally when this terrific alt-rock troupe returns for a co-headlining show with indie-pop stalwarts Flaming Lips at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley on Sept. 7. Dehd opens. Showtime is 6 p.m. and tickets start at $83, apeconcerts.com.
We probably don't need to point out that this Rock and Roll Hall of Famer has a ton of great songs. After all, a batch of top tunes seems to be one of the main prerequisites for getting into the Rock Hall in the first place, right? Yet, the list of songs we're certainly hoping to hear during Browne's two-night stand at the Mountain Winery definitely includes Running on Empty, I'm Alive, Somebody's Baby and Fountain of Sorrow.
The Oakland native, who first rose to fame as a member of Tony! Toni! Tone!, is celebrating three decades of hits during his big show at Davies Symphony Hall in San Francisco on Sept. 8. Showtime is 8 p.m. and tickets are $66, apeconcerts.com. The acclaimed vocalist, whose most recent full-length album is 2019's Jimmy Lee, also performs 7:30 p.m. Sept. 7 at Channel 24 in Sacramento. Tickets are $75, apeconcerts.com.
