Yes, there are scores of great concerts this fall outside the Bay Area that, virtually, you can attend live. Here are seven concerts – a mix of rock, folk, country, and classical – that I’m planning to check out. The only catch: 8pm in London means 11am in San Francisco. So while the people at the actual concert might be partying at night like it’s 2099, it’ll be daytime for you. Slightly surreal, yes. But that’s a small price to pay for a concert that, one song at a time, transports you far beyond the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"callout noborder\">\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10141923\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/09/blondie.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/09/blondie-400x256.jpg\" alt=\"Blondie; Photo by Danielle-St.-Laurent\" width=\"400\" height=\"256\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-10141923\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/09/blondie-400x256.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/09/blondie-300x192.jpg 300w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/09/blondie.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Blondie; Photo by Danielle-St.-Laurent\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Chrissie Hynde and Blondie from London\u003c/h3>\n\u003ch5>Tuesday, September 16, 11:30am\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"http://www.itunesfestival.com\">itunesfestival.com\u003c/a>\u003c/h5>\n\u003cp>American rock music hit a high point in the late 1970s and early ‘80s with the ascension of \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrissie_Hynde\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chrissie Hynde\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blondie_%28band%29\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Blondie\u003c/a>. “Kid” and “Brass in Pocket” (Hynde with \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pretenders\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Pretenders\u003c/a>), and “Call Me” and “Heart of Glass” (Blondie), combined elements of hard rock with experimental music and pop riffs.

But if you don’t have the time or the money this fall, you can always go for Plan B: Watching your ideal concert online, for just a few dollars or (here’s even better news) FREE. Yes, there are scores of great concerts this fall outside the Bay Area that, virtually, you can attend live. Here are seven concerts – a mix of rock, folk, country, and classical – that I’m planning to check out. The only catch: 8pm in London means 11am in San Francisco. So while the people at the actual concert might be partying at night like it’s 2099, it’ll be daytime for you. Slightly surreal, yes. But that’s a small price to pay for a concert that, one song at a time, transports you far beyond the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"callout noborder\">\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10141923\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/09/blondie.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/09/blondie-400x256.jpg\" alt=\"Blondie; Photo by Danielle-St.-Laurent\" width=\"400\" height=\"256\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-10141923\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/09/blondie-400x256.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/09/blondie-300x192.jpg 300w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/09/blondie.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Blondie; Photo by Danielle-St.-Laurent\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Chrissie Hynde and Blondie from London\u003c/h3>\n\u003ch5>Tuesday, September 16, 11:30am\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"http://www.itunesfestival.com\">itunesfestival.com\u003c/a>\u003c/h5>\n\u003cp>American rock music hit a high point in the late 1970s and early ‘80s with the ascension of \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrissie_Hynde\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chrissie Hynde\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blondie_%28band%29\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Blondie\u003c/a>. “Kid” and “Brass in Pocket” (Hynde with \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pretenders\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Pretenders\u003c/a>), and “Call Me” and “Heart of Glass” (Blondie), combined elements of hard rock with experimental music and pop riffs.

In fact, Toure and Raichel perform as The Touré-Raichel Collective, acknowledging that it takes a village to make a great world-music band.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv class=\"callout noborder\">\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10140925\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 367px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/08/Nascimento.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/08/Nascimento.jpg\" alt=\"Milton Nascimento\" width=\"367\" height=\"246\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10140925\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/08/Nascimento.jpg 367w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/08/Nascimento-300x201.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 367px) 100vw, 367px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Milton Nascimento\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Milton Nascimento\u003c/h3>\n\u003ch5>Nov. 30\u003cbr>\nSFJAZZ Center, 201 Franklin Street, SF\u003cbr>\n\u003ca title=\"Nascimento link\" href=\"http://www.sfjazz.org/events/2014-15/nov30/milton-nascimento\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tickets and information\u003c/a>\u003c/h5>\n\u003cp>Listen to jazz saxophonist Wayne Shorter’s 1974 album \u003cem>Native Dancer\u003c/em> and you hear Brazilian singer/guitarist/composer Milton Nascimento on many of the tracks, with a voice that reaches high octaves and really makes the album complete.

(His version of gospel standard “Wade in the Water” is a highlight of his sets.)

This handpicked list pairs major (and sure-to-be heavily promoted) Hollywood movies with blink-and-you-might-miss-em independent films that deserve all the love and attention they can get.

The question, after the tragedy and brutality of Ferguson, is whether a hip, young, white audience is inclined to check out or ignore a hip, young, black point of view.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/XwJhmqLU0so'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/XwJhmqLU0so'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv class=\"callout noborder\">\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10141234\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/08/interstellar.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/08/interstellar-400x250.jpg\" alt=\"<i>Interstellar</i>\" width=\"400\" height=\"250\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-10141234\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/08/interstellar-400x250.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/08/interstellar-300x187.jpg 300w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/08/interstellar.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u003ci>Interstellar\u003c/i>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>\u003ci>Interstellar\u003c/i>\u003c/h3>\n\u003ch5>Opens Nov 7\u003c/h5>\n\u003cp>According to his army of adoring fans, Christopher Nolan (\u003cem>Inception\u003c/em>, three Batman movies) is a combination of Kubrick and Kierkegaard.

Stewart penned the screenplay (adapting Bahari’s memoir of the events that transpired when he returned to Iran to cover the presidential election) and makes his debut behind the camera, so there’s a chance that it’s a flatfooted flop.

I somehow doubt, however, that those Nielsen numbers will translate into long lines for the pair of films based on real English brainiacs opening on successive Fridays. Drawing on Jane Hawking’s memoir and directed by the gifted documentarian James Marsh, \u003cem>The Theory of Everything\u003c/em> portrays the Cambridge love affair of graduate student Stephen Hawking (Eddie Redmayne) and his future wife (the luminous and criminally underrated Felicity Jones). When he is struck by a degenerative disease and given a terminal diagnosis, Jane becomes his fiercest ally. (At least in the movies, nothing inspires romantic commitment like a partner’s illness.) The ticking clock that drives \u003cem>The Imitation Game\u003c/em>, meanwhile, is the seemingly inevitable invasion of Britain by Nazi Germany. Gay mathematician, logician, cryptologist and computer scientist Alan Turing (Benedict Cumberbatch of \u003ci>Sherlock\u003c/i>) heads a team of code breakers racing to decipher intercepted German messages. After the war, Turing made several other contributions, but his career and life were cut short by a 1952 prosecution for homosexuality. I expect this terrible chapter falls outside the film’s purview, and will be disclosed in an end card before the closing credits.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/Salz7uGp72c'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/Salz7uGp72c'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>http://youtu.be/S5CjKEFb-sM\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"callout noborder\">\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10141240\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/08/foxcatcher.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/08/foxcatcher-400x211.jpg\" alt=\"<i>Foxcatcher</i>\" width=\"400\" height=\"211\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-10141240\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/08/foxcatcher-400x211.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/08/foxcatcher-300x158.jpg 300w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/08/foxcatcher.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u003ci>Foxcatcher\u003c/i>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>\u003ci>Foxcatcher\u003c/i>\u003c/h3>\n\u003ch5>Opens Nov. 21\u003c/h5>\n\u003cp>Yet another riveting drama crafted from real life finds Steve Carell solidifying his place on the long list of comedians with outstanding dramatic chops.

Bennett Miller (\u003cem>Capote\u003c/em>, \u003cem>Moneyball\u003c/em>) won the Best Director prize at Cannes for this piercing, downbeat character (and crime) story that illuminates the gulf between appearances and reality, thereby pulling back the curtain on the whole Reagan-era “morning in America” jive.
