After a gig in my small Vermont town, the band Wussy stayed at my house. You might remember singer Chuck Cleaver from his days in the Ass Ponys.

Great folks, super super nice. And a really killer band

I was starting to get worried for a minute there .... scored 3 for Montreal

I'm in the waiting room. That's a bad sign

After the New Haven CT show in 2006 Pat Sansone came into a little bar near the venue and the whole place started cheering.

Those 1988 Oxford ME shows were my first. Crazy crazy times

Brutal!

...

 

Also which other CD's was Bear involved in, other than the Dead? I swore I had one or two but I can't find them. I thought it was the recent Moby Grape live release, but his name does appear on the liner notes.

Besides the Dead stuff, I don't have any of the others. I guess I don't have any of his.

I'm pretty sure he recorded Gram Parson Archives Vol One : Live at the Avalon Ballroom when the Flying Burrito Brothers were opening for the Dead

Can : "Vitamin C"

Wussy.

Not a huge surprise as he'd been ill for years and retired from music in 1982, but still a bummer!

re : Beefheart

He's got some great albums but Trout Mask Replica is just not one that I pop on too often.

Shiny Beast, Doc at the Radar Station and Lick My Decals Off Baby are all much better albums IMHO.

That being said, TMR is about the coolest album cover ever and when I finally stumbled across a t-shirt here I bought it.

Yo La Tengo.

Where does Suicide fit in?

They both have a psychedlic garage rock vibe to them, IMHO.

I did discover them around the same time, so maybe that's influencing my opinion.

i really dig Major Stars, but to me they are more of a live band experience. I realize I'm lucky by having them local, as they don't really tour much outside Boston. ...

 

You might really enjoy Thee Oh Sees as well if you like White Hills.

1. Emeralds : Does It Look Like I'm Here?

2. Major Stars : Return to Form

3. Jason & the Scorchers : Halcyon Times

4. Thee Oh Sees : Warm Slime

5. White Hills : White Hills

6. Superchunk : Majesty Shredding

7. Sun Araw : On Patrol

8. Psychic Stewardess : Spritual Foundation

9. Warpaint : The Fool

10 Liars : Sisterworld

Thi Filrth and the Fury is really good too

I'm guessing you were close enough to see - was that David Cross who came out and sang with Spiral Stairs?

I heard it was ... no confirmation though.

"Emotionally Yours" by the O'Jays, especially the one they do at the "Bob Fest" is one of my favorites

1. "On the Roof" The Feelies The Good Earth

2. "Pacific Coast Highway" Sonic Youth Sister

3. "Willing to Wait" Sebadoh 1999-04-14 Metro Chicago IL

4. "Bits and Spurs" Royal Trux Royal Trux

5. "Over My Shoulder" Jayhawks Tomorrow the Green Grass

6. "Lake Brenda" Ass Ponys Don & Terry 9-22-97 Newport KY

7. "what We Know" Sonic Youth Sonic Youth Mixtape Volume 7

8. "Memories" Clinic Do It!

9. "The Mine Has Been Returned to Its Original Owners" Superchunk Cup of Sand

10. "The Wit and the Wisdom" Husker Du Flip Your Wig

Sonic Youth "Kim Gordon & the Arthur Doyle Handcream" has two!

Plus it was orginally called "Mariah Carey & the Arthur Doyle Handcream"

Maybe Pussy Galore will get back together for this

Huh, I must be a terrible Vermonter because I was in that same row J and and had no idea that was Grace Potter.

I think i might have bumped into her when she was trying to get back in. Does that count as a "brush with greatness"?

Sorry Grace!
