MUSIC: GARTH BROOKS 8 p.m., & 7/8-7/9, the Colosseum, ticketmaster.com.

MISC: DESPERATE SOULS, DARK CITY AND THE LEGEND OF MIDNIGHT COWBOY  In 1969, London-born director John Schlesinger made Midnight Cowboy, a film about a young Texan dishwasher named Joe Buck (played by Jon Voight) who moves to Manhattan in hopes of making tall money as a male prostitute. He befriends small-time grifter Rico “Ratso” Rizzo (Dustin Hoffman), and the two struggle mightily to survive against a grimy, pre-gentrified New York City and their own dark pasts. The movie won Oscars for Best Picture, Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay, and introduced an oft-imitated line of dialogue to the classic film vernacular (“I’m walkin’ here!”). In Desperate Souls, Dark City and the Legend of Midnight Cowboy, screening at the Beverly Theater from July 6-11, director Nancy Buirski explores the behind-the-scenes drama and enduring themes of the still-provocative film. And if watching this compelling documentary piques your interest, you can come back to the Bev at 8:30 p.m., drop another $10 and watch the original. 4 & 6:15 p.m., $10, the Beverly Theater, thebeverlytheater.com. –Geoff Carter

MUSIC: TWO MAN RIOT Two Man Riot’s comeback story is one for the books. The Las Vegas-born duo—singer-songwriter and drummer Franky Perez and guitarist Stacey Gearing—solidified their place in rock with their eponymous 2005 album, a visceral, no-holds-barred debut chronicling their battles with drug addiction, loss and love. Written and recorded in two weeks, it put the band on the map but also left the musicians so emotionally bankrupt, they decided to move on from it. For Perez, that meant touring with metal band Apocalyptica, releasing solo projects and contributing to FX’s Sons of Anarchy soundtracks. Now, Gearing and Perez have dusted off Two Man Riot and remastered the recordings to share it with a new wave of fans. “The re-release of our self-titled album is a tribute to our friendship and the power of raw rock ’n’ roll,” Perez said in a press release. At Sand Dollar Downtown, Perez and Gearing will perform the album for the first time in 18 years, with Gearing’s brother, Sean, joining the band on rhythm guitar. Merch sold at the re-release show will go toward local drug and alcohol recovery programs. Now that’s our kind of redemption song. 10 p.m., free, Sand Dollar Downtown, thesanddollarlv.com. –Amber Sampson

ARTS: ATTABOY: UPCYCLED GARDEN One person’s trash is another one’s treasure. This is certainly true for artist Daniel “Attaboy” Seifert. This “ever-growing” touring exhibit, up at Sahara West Library through July 15, uses recycled cardboard and paints to create botanical-inspired scenes. “While beautiful and organic on the outside, when many of the sculptures are flipped over, you can see a visual diary of consumption (gluten-free pizza, COVID tests, light bulb and Amazon boxes, etc.) that is used to create them,” reads a statement on the artist’s website. You wouldn’t know looking at the brightly colored “plants” and their cartoon-like leaves—they could have ended up in the garbage. Instead, they’re hanging in art galleries across the country, bringing people joy and inspiration. Thru July 15; Monday-Thursday, 10 a.m.-8 p.m.; Friday-Sunday, 10 a.m.-6 p.m.; free; Sahara West Library, thelibrarydistrict.org. –Shannon Miller

SPORTS: LAS VEGAS ACES VS. PHOENIX MERCURY When these two teams met for the first time this season on June 21, the Mercury was without the services of perennial all-stars Brittney Griner and Diana Taurasi, and Jackie Young went off for 23 points to boost the Aces to a 99-79 victory in Phoenix. But there was emotion beyond the standard competition as the Aces squad took advantage of the chance to show love for Griner, who has returned to the WNBA after being jailed in Russia for nearly 10 months. She has once again been voted a starter in the All-Star Game—which will be played in Las Vegas on July 15—and is expected to be back on the court with Taurasi at Mandalay Bay for this week’s rematch. 7 p.m., $10-$100, Michelob Ultra Arena, axs.com. –Brock Radke
