In the three July concerts I saw, both festivals were doing their jobs well.

Drake resumed work on the album in October 2009, following an onstage injury from a July 2009 concert.

And for the last dozen years or so, the cemetery has paid tribute to these composers with an annual Fourth of July concert.

There is also a July 6 concert in Edinburgh, where the Group of 8 leaders will be meeting.

The symphony's free annual July 4 outdoor concert at Ballard Park draws thousands of fans.

(The July 5, 2003, concert was his final public appearance.)

The July 2 concert will feature a big band playing Sousa marches with a fireworks display timed to the music.

Tickets to all but one performance are $30 ($20 for students); a July 19 concert is $35.

Tickets to the July 15 concert alone cost from $25 to $100, while admission to a preconcert supper and postconcert reception $300 to $1,000.

Houston also performed the song at her July 26 concert in Denver, CO.
