At the dismay of my mother, San Diego no longer has a dedicated oldies radio station, but for lovers of an era gone by, tonight the Happy Together Tour hits Humphreys Concerts by the Bay. With representation by bands like the Turtles, Paul Revere & the Raiders, and Three Dog Night, it's like looking at my mom's old LP collection come to life. For the younger set, pop-punk band Citizen plays an all-ages show at the Irenic, Funk Manifesto play a pre-Pride party at Bar Pink, and electronic duo Opia play the Casbah. If an air-conditioned casino experience is what you seek, Ozomatli play their second night at Sycuan.
