Brandi Carlile – Tilles Center – July 21, 2023

Sometimes it’s best to go it alone, and to that end, on Friday, Brandi Carlile, without a backing band, using just her voice and guitar, thrilled the adoring crowd at Tilles Center on Long Island, her first of two nights at the venue.

Wild cards John Millman/Edward Winter, the former whose playing career lived another day despite his second qualifying round loss to Alex Molcan after winning the first round match against Marcus Daniell/Marcelo Demoliner 6-7(3), 6-2, 7-6(12) in a close, entertaining match, faced a tough challenge in second seeds Rohan Bopanna/Matthew Ebden (hereby referred to as Bopden), who previously defeated fellow wild card recipients James Duckworth/Marc Polmans 7-6(5), 4-6, 7-6(2) in the first round. While this could be J. Millman's last match as a tennis player, this could also be a celebration of his career regardless of the outcome.

Initially, J. Millman/E. Winter had a convincing start after holding their service games to 1-0, passing Ebden through a working volley to create their break point. However, Bopden still managed to get out of trouble and held their service games to 1-1 afterward. Shortly after, Ebden came up with a successful volley to set a one-point lead before J. Millman's failed lob eventually caused the break of serve to 3-2.

Since then, Bopden consolidated their serve with a smooth hold to 4-2, but it also was caused by J. Millman's failed lob that was called out, thus making Ebden's subsequent tweener unnecessary. The next game then became erratic for J. Millman/E. Winter, where J. Millman's failed volley then generated Bopden's break point before its conversion, which earned Bopden the opportunity to serve for the first set. Despite having to survive a deficit earlier in the service game, Bopden still held their service game firm, firing an unreturned serve to take the first set 6-2.

His footwork was hushed — an articulate, musical whisper — as he somehow managed to convey the idea that he was gliding just above his feet.”…

「胖鵬配」海碩盃雙打二連霸 Millman首度在台封王

衛冕冠軍「胖鵬配」成功二連霸  壽星「A鵬」收穫最佳生日禮物

每年度男子網壇盛事「2019高雄海碩網球公開賽」今（22）日在高雄巨蛋帶來最終精彩決賽，衛冕冠軍「胖鵬配」楊宗樺／謝政鵬成功挑戰二連霸，把冠軍水晶球拍留在台灣！「費德勒殺手」米爾曼（John Millman）則在單打賽事封王，成為澳洲首位在高雄海碩盃封王的男子選手！

2018高雄海碩盃雙打冠軍「胖鵬配」楊宗樺／謝政鵬在本屆賽事以第三種子身份挑戰衛冕，決賽迎戰「美國組合」Evan King／Hunter Reese。開賽「胖鵬配」展現豐富經驗與絕佳默契，以6-4搶下首盤。第二盤美國組合改變策略與節奏，輕鬆取得5-2領先，但此時全場球迷盡全力為小胖與A鵬加油，也讓兩位台將打出氣勢，甚至一度反超、以6-5 40-30領先，並握有兩個冠軍點。不過「胖鵬配」突然近鄉情怯，錯過兩個冠軍點，遭對手把戰局延長至搶七。搶七時刻「胖鵬配」即時回穩，最終就在全場球迷的歡呼聲中以6-4、7-6(4)收下勝利，不僅完成「二連霸」任務，同時也成為高雄海碩盃史上第一組「三度」笑捧冠軍水晶球拍的隊伍。

此外為鼓勵台灣選手成功把冠軍水晶球拍留在台灣，海碩盃幕後重要推手—海碩集團韓國福總裁特別加碼「雙倍獎金」，讓原先「胖鵬配」楊宗樺／謝政鵬須平分九千三百美元的雙打冠軍獎金，變成一人可以獨得九千三百美元。

「胖鵬配」除了成功衛冕冠軍，寫下台灣網台新歷史，恰巧今日是「A鵬」謝政鵬的28歲生日，本座冠軍格外具有意義與紀念價值，受訪談到是否會想把這座冠軍獻給誰，A鵬則表示「我想把這座冠軍獻給整個賽會，海碩盃賽事每年都在不斷地進步，因此我十分享受每次回家比賽的感覺，即使現在的世界排名可以去參加其他ATP 250級分賽事，但是高雄海碩盃是仍我每年行事曆中最重要的一站比賽，無論如何都要回台參賽，並且在台灣球迷面前獻技！」

歷經大賽舞台洗禮，如今謝政鵬的心態與球技都更加成熟，更表示現在不再只在乎輸贏，反而是更享受比賽氛圍，珍惜在場上的每一刻。談到個人今年的生日願望，A鵬也發下豪語，「想和小胖一起去打2020東京奧運！」

高人氣「費德勒殺手」Millman單打封王  澳洲內戰力克後輩Polmans

單打決賽上演「澳洲內戰」，高人氣的「費德勒殺手」米爾曼（John Millman）迎戰同胞後輩波爾曼（Marc Polmans），兩人昨日四強戰都歷經三盤考驗，Polman似乎受到連日征戰的影響，不僅體力與專注力都大幅下滑，導致整場失誤偏多；反觀經驗豐富的「學長」Millman絲毫未顯疲態，在底線上主導比賽節奏與攻勢，最終毫無懸念地以6-4、6-2收下勝利。

這場勝利不僅代表Millman成為首位在高雄海碩盃封王的澳洲選手，同時也是他在2019年的首座冠軍。賽後Millman難掩喜悅，笑說高雄海碩盃是個人「福地」，特別稱讚賽會不僅以非常高水準的規格呈現，球迷也非常地踴躍進場為選手加油，Millman更表示相當高興看到台灣的���球運動蓬勃發展，未來只要身體狀況允許，肯定會再度來台參賽，更不忘與台灣球迷相約明年見！

Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real Cut Loose at Webster Hall on Saturday Night

Lukas Nelson – Webster Hall – November 18, 2023

It’s been a few years since Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real last visited Webster Hall and what feels like a lifetime of world tumult, happenings and music that’s passed since then. That the songs from the band’s crisp 2023 release, Sticks & Stones, sound like people eager to break out and boogie is probably not an accident, but then Nelson and his snappy country-rock squad have always walked the line between wistful-moving and barroom-blastoff — better than most. They’re love-me-tender when they want to be, with a joyful, almost goofy earnestness. They can deliver sad songs that hit the feels. And they can rock your face off. 

There’s a lot of Nelson’s dad, Willie, and a lot of occasional employer Neil Young, and a little of other obvious touchstones like Tom Petty in what they do, but these days POTR sound most like one of the best live bands of the past decade, never leaving behind their party-hardy roots, keeping the rock part of folk-rock firmly in mind, writing better and better songs that adequately pace a lip smackingly fun show. On Saturday they once again got after it, nailing the newer tunes and finding new excitement in the old ones. Opener “Entirely Different Stars” began mysterious, got to a crowd-stoking boogie and ended with a psychedelic guitar breakdown. “Sticks and Stones” had double-barreled piano and plenty of saloon in it to push the song forward. Nelson was rocking so hard during the fist-pumping “Four Letter Word” that his signature hat flew off. The early POTR favorite “All the Pretty Horses” underscored just how far the band’s come in their command of their own dynamics, starting quietly solo, patiently building to a full-band sound that filled up the room.

Those were just part of the action. The tunes that at this point might be called the POTR classics — including stinging-sweet “Forget About Georgia,” groovy “Find Yourself,” country-gospel “Set Me Down on a Cloud” — all delivered, as they always do. But the band went deeper still, especially Nelson himself, who delivered a good chunk of the set solo, near-solo and acoustic, either guitar or piano, and left the room spellbound with the sentimental “Smile,” the proud “Just Outside of Austin” and the achingly beautiful parent-to-child-benediction “Giving You Away,” shimmering with steel from multi-instrumentalist Logan Metz. There were surprises, too: The brilliant NYC-based soulful R&B singer Emily King joined Nelson to duet on what was described as a new song, loaded with New York-centric lyrics.  As ever Nelson and the POTR band — Metz, Corey McCormick, Anthony LoGerfo, Tato Melgar, aces, all — brought things to a blowout finale, barreling through the hilarious “Wrong House,” a nifty segue from their own galloping “Ladder of Love” into Willie’s “Bloody Mary Morning” and then “Find Yourself” to close the set. It was as full and varied a show as POTR have ever played here. We wrote of this same band at this same venue in 2019 that they’d “earned their swagger.” In 2023, they totally own it. —Chad Berndtson | @Cberndtson

黄金T+D再创逾16年新高，白银T+D暴涨逾6%！美元创22个月新低，但贵金属多头需警惕两点 黄金T+D再创逾16年新高，白银T+D暴涨逾6%！美元创22个月新低，但贵金属多头需警惕两点 周一（7月27日）黄金T+D收盘上涨2.71%至426.41元/克，再度刷新上市以来的逾16年新高；白银T+D上涨6.26%至5653元/千克。美元指数创22个月新低，随着全球疫情持续蔓延以及经济复苏前景仍存在不确定性，贵金属继续获得支撑。总体上，贵金属的上涨逻辑包括避险因素、全球大规模刺激、地缘紧张。目前来看，这些因素仍然成立：疫情没有逆转趋势，欧美的新一轮财政刺激即将到来。但金价的上涨或许有些过快过大，一些投资者可能会选择获利了结。在这样的大涨后，市场会出现修正。此外，投资者还需担忧实物需求的低迷。  上海黄金交易所2020年7月27日交易行情 ① 黄金T+D收盘上涨2.71%至426.41元/克，成交量163.498吨，成交金额692亿8930万760元，交收方向“多支付给空”，交收量14.594吨； ② 迷你金T+D收盘上涨2.76%至426.68元/克，成交量20.4658吨，成交金额86亿7533万8724元，交收方向“多支付给空”，交收量39.402吨； ③ 白银T+D收盘上涨6.26%至5653元/千克，成交量36232.94吨，成交金额1995亿1954万8306元，交收方向“多支付给空”，交收量12.150吨。 黄金创纪录新高 黄金市场的涨势还在继续，金价突破了2011年的高位，创下历史新高。现货黄金价格日内一度突破1940美元/盎司的关口。美元指数创22个月新低，随着全球疫情持续蔓延以及经济复苏前景仍存在不确定性，贵金属继续获得支撑。总体上，贵金属的上涨逻辑包括避险因素、全球大规模刺激、地缘紧张。目前来看，这些因素仍然成立：疫情没有逆转趋势，欧美的新一轮财政刺激即将到来。 黄金期货交易的火爆，从芝商所最新的三季度报告也可见一斑。芝商所流动性工具显示，二季度以来黄金期货流动性显著改善，COMEX黄金期货的买卖价差已经回落到3月中旬新冠疫情危机出现之前的水平。 以黄金为代表的贵金属价格一路涨势如虹，也让市场对金价未来有望突破2000美元的呼声愈发高涨。 研究机构Insignia Consultants首席市场分析师Chintan Karnani表示，势头对黄金和白银非常有利，如果未来国际环境趋于紧张、美国新冠肺炎新增病例数持续增加，那么黄金和白银的价格只会上涨。金价即便会出现价格调整，也将是“温和”的；黄金2000美元的关口将“非常容易打破”。 一方面，作为贵金属，黄金、白银具有一定的避险属性。目前海外二次疫情持续凶猛，尤其是美国新冠肺炎新增病例数处于高位，市场避险的需求不断增加。 另一方面，随着全球主要经济体推出大规模经济刺激措施，流动性充裕及未来通胀预期走高，都直接利好贵金属市场。7月21日，欧盟领导人经过多天磋商后终于就7500亿欧元规模的复苏基金达成一致；美国国会也正在酝酿新一轮刺激法案。 7月27日黄金ETFs数据显示，截止7月25日黄金ETF-SPDR Gold Trust的黄金持仓量1228.81吨,较上一交易日增加1.76吨；Gold Trust7月27日数据显示，iShares Gold Trust7月25日黄金持有量482.23吨,较上一交易日增加3.26吨。 黄金这一波上涨将能够触及2000大关 Bannockburn Global Forex首席市场策略师Marc Chandler表示，在这种史上未见的水平要谈论阻力水平是很难的，但从利率角度来看美元周期的话，那么金价触及2500美元/盎司也是合理的。 在全球经济遭到疫情的大规模打击之下，外加近期快速升温的地缘政治风险，黄金获得了极大的提振。 Aberdeen Standard Investments的Steven Dunn表示，尽管金价涨至1900美元/盎司上方看起来有些夸张，但其实并不算什么意外。地缘政治风险的升温以及对经济继续受到疫情影响的担忧都未黄金此次大涨提供了推动力，短期这些推动力都不会轻易消失。 在整个市场都充满了波动性和不确定性的情况下，黄金和白银作为避险的吸引力增加了。 MKS交易主管Afshin Nabavi表示，黄金市场目前处在上涨的“单行道”上，突破1900美元/盎司关口就是一个很强的信号。整个市场每一处都一团糟，因此金价会走高。 为了应对疫情，全球各国央行都采取了非常宽松的货币政策，为市场注入大量流动性，利率也持续低迷，这为黄金提供了极大的推动力。 凯投宏观(Capital Economics)认为，实际利率会维持在低水平，在可见的未来金价都将被支撑在高水平。  机构观点：黄金还将继续走高 澳大利亚联邦银行(Commonwealth Bank of Australia)的Vivek Dhar表示，美国10年期国债收益率的下跌是推动金价上行的主因，此外美元的疲软和市场避险情绪的上升也同样利好黄金。 Dhar表示，美国实际利率和金价之间的负相关关系一直维持着，因为黄金本身是不会有类似利率的收益的。而眼下美国实际利率的下降受到了通胀预期的影响。 The Global CIO Office的Johan Jooste表示，目前这种情况下，黄金的持有成本几乎是零。我们一直说要逢低买入，但现在要这么做就很难了，因为可能已经错过机会了。 德国商业银行(Commerzbank)研究主管Eugen Weinberg表示，本周金价突破2000美元/盎司大关都不会是太大的意外。 Weinberg指出，尽管市场略有超买，但整个基本面对黄金都是利好的。黄金市场还没出现泡沫，整个市场还有上万亿的负利率债券，这会继续支撑黄金。 不过Gainesville Coins贵金属专家Everett Millman表示，金价的上涨或许有些过快过大，一些投资者可能会选择获利了结。在这样的大涨后，市场会出现修正。

2018高雄海碩盃雙打冠軍「胖鵬配」楊宗樺／謝政鵬以第三種子身份挑戰衛冕，今日迎戰「印度組合」Saketh Myneni／Jeevan Nedunchezhiyan，「胖鵬配」展現絕佳默契，全場僅耗時57分鐘，就以兩個6-2收下勝利。談到距離衛冕更近一步，小胖表示自己的保分壓力很大，現在算是暫時鬆了一口氣；隊友A鵬則笑說，「與小胖之間的默契與實力都不在話下，因此會盡個人全力去拼，最重要的是去享受比賽當下！」

「哩賀戰隊」李冠毅／何承叡首搭檔  挑戰賽四強初體驗

另一場雙打賽事由「哩(李)賀(何)戰隊」李冠毅／何承叡迎戰日本「老少組合」松井俊英／綿貫陽介，冠毅與承叡以6-4率先搶下首盤，雖然第二盤搶七因失誤較多而遭對手扳回一城，但「哩賀戰隊」在第三盤「超級搶十」即時穩住陣腳，並把握關鍵分，更帶來精采好球連連，最終就以6-4、6-7(2)、10-4挺進四強！雖然對手今日動輒200公里的重砲發球讓冠毅與承叡一度陷入苦戰，不過賽後承叡表示「對手今天發球比較衝，因此花了比較久的時間去適應，討論決定接發球時要往後站一點，也獲得不錯的效果」。

賽後承叡笑說，「感謝媽媽提醒我去問冠毅要不要配雙打」，兩人首度搭檔就挺進四強，更是生涯「挑戰賽四強初體驗」，冠毅與承叡「一左一右」的組合，目標效法美國傳奇男雙「布萊恩兄弟（Bryan Brothers）」，賽後也以布萊恩兄弟的「跳躍撞胸」招牌動作來慶祝贏得這場勝利。

「新生代組合」吳東霖／曾俊欣、「跨世代組合」王宇佐／許育修三盤惜敗  四強門票擦肩而過

「新生代組合」吳東霖／曾俊欣今日對決「美國組合」Evan King／Hunter Reese，開賽東霖與俊欣迅速取得3-0領先，以6-3率先搶下首盤；不過對手在第二盤改變節奏與戰略，讓平常專攻單打、較缺乏雙打經驗的東霖與俊欣陷入苦戰局面，最終就以6-3、6-7(4)、5-10惜敗，無緣晉級。賽後東霖與俊欣表示，雖然今天比賽結果不如預期，但本次搭檔的默契與感覺都很不錯，不排除未來有機會將持續在雙打賽事合作。

澳洲好手Polmans三盤力克葡萄牙黑馬Ferreira Silva

另一場單打決賽由葡萄牙選手費雷拉席爾瓦（Frederico Ferreira Silva）對決澳洲選手波爾曼（Marc Polmans），整場比賽可說是高潮迭起，毫無冷場。開賽Polmans絲毫不受對手左手持拍的優勢影響，以6-1率先搶下首盤；第二盤Polmans一度以5-3領先，眼看就要帶走比賽勝利，然而此時Ferreira Silva展現不放棄的鬥士精神，上演「連保帶破」連拿四局，以7-5扳平比數，也戰局延長至第三盤。決勝盤Ferreira Silva延續第二盤末的氣勢，以4-1領先，不過此時輪到Ferreira Silva遭遇亂流，接連失誤反遭Polmans戰成4-4平手，最終Ferreira Silva氣力放盡，由Polmans以6-1、5-7、7-5帶走勝利。
