See

Vegas A strong cast (including Dennis Quaid and Michael Chiklis) leads this successful mix of gritty period drama and standard-issue crime procedural, set in the ’60s and based loosely on the real life of former Clark County Sheriff Ralph Lamb. Tuesdays, 10 p.m., CBS; premieres September 25.

From Dust to Dreams If you weren’t able to attend the Smith Center’s opening night in March, you can catch the entire event on PBS, hosted by Neil Patrick Harris and featuring performances from Jennifer Hudson, Willie Nelson and Emmylou Harris, among others. September 21, 9 p.m., PBS.

Hear

Animal Collective You know times have changed when an album as sonically strange as Centipede Hz debuts inside Billboard’s top 20 (No. 16). And we can say from experience, the live show is even weirder. With Micachu and the Shapes, September 25, 7:15 p.m., $30-$33, House of Blues.
