    Dylan, Wilco, My Morning Jacket summer tour

    in Just A Fan

    Posted

    Dylan actually has security clear the hallways and you are told to stay in your rooms when he comes and goes just to make sure he doesn't meet anyone even though the only people there are on the frickin' tour.  Contrast that to James Brown who grabbed a chair, sat on the side of the stage while we were setting up and even sound checked his vocal mic, the Organ, Bass and one of the drum sets.

     

    Years ago I was the guest of a band opening up for Dylan.  I was backstage with the opener's tour manager when a security guard came running down the hall with a "5 minutes to Bob" warning.  The tour manager then explained how Dylan's people had made it very clear that Bob did not want to "make eye contact or smell anybody" on his way to the stage.  I thought this was a joke - but they were dead serious.  A few minutes later four of us ducked into a janitor's closet (myself, another guest, and the opening bands tour manager and lighting director).  We waited about 5 minutes in the tiny closet before the TM cracked the door and peaked out to see if the coast was clear ... of course it was just at the moment Dylan was passing and eye contact was made.  Quickly shutting the door the TM was not happy and said something like "I'll hear about that later".  I am a fan of some of the man's studio records, but that's about it.

    Waterloo Sunset would be cool (and I think Glenn even knows who wrote it now!)

     

    I also cast my vote, because otherwise I'd probably forget. But just on the off, off chance that "Shake Some Action" gets played, I'm taking credit...

     

    Great pick.  Chuck Prophet also does a killer cover of "Shake Some Action".  Maybe he will play it when you see him at Space in Evanston on Friday May 10th.

    Jeff Tweedy solo benefit show at the Vic - 3-14-2013

    in After The Show

    The best handling of the 'camera / phone annoyance' situation is in Dallas at the Granada Theater.  Here it is taken care of by the venue - not the artist.  First off, the security force has a different attitude than your normal thug-like security guards and always opts for the less confrontational solution.  A closer look reveals the back of their shirts say "serenity" not "security".  

     

    Upon entering the venue there are all sorts of signs stating the "no camera" policy - it is made very clear.  But the cool thing is they offer an option for the concert goer to get high quality photos.  In the lobby near where the merch is sold there is a signup sheet.  All you have to do is give an email address and you will receive a message a day or so after the show with a link to professionally taken photos that are un-watermarked and downloadable.  

     

    There is not a video option, but a majority of performers are not cool with video being taken at live shows.  With this being a pretty much known fact it is too bad so many people opt to shoot video with their cell phones (crappy shaky video at that).  They do it because they can get away with it.  Before cell phone videos were these same people sneaking in camcorders?  The answer is no.  Claiming you take video to share with the people that could not attend a certain show is a total cop out.  How about respecting and honoring the wishes of the artist you are there to see....?.....

     

    Wilco/Tweedy video policy taken from the Wilco website.... (read last line)

     

    Photo and Taping Policies

    1. NO CAMERAS PERMITTED: Still or Video. Professional photographers MUST obtain a photo pass via Wilco's management or publicist. No exceptions. Please be considerate of others.
    2. We ask that you refrain from using your cell phones, updating Facebook, checking your e-mail, texting your friends, etc. both while driving and during concerts.
    3. Wilco does permit audio taping and trading of live performances wherever it does not conflict with venue or other restrictions beyond our control. We do not allow direct soundboard patches. Wilco supports the free trading of live recordings for non-commercial purposes. We do not allow filming or video of any type without prior written permission.

    luckily for Kogon -  Glenn is one of the nicest guys around and shares some really cool info

    I have been a fan of The Spring Standards for several years.  Watching them grow into a well polished band has been a treat.  Last night they played Cafe 9 in New Haven CT and absolutely rocked it.  I would urge anybody to head down to your local rock club and catch their act when they visit your town.  Here's another chance for you to catch a great band on the way up.......

    I have a friend (part of the extended ABB family) who tells me the chances that we'll see Greg and Dickey on the same stage are "slim to none".  But you can never say never.... the Eagles patched it up after a most nasty hate filled breakup.  In a previous career I used to promote rock festivals in the northeast.  One show we did featured both the ABB and DBB - both bands simply refused to play on the same day.

    A nice write up on NoDepression.com ...  http://www.nodepression.com/profiles/blogs/daphne-lee-martin-moxie-cd-review

     

     

    Daphne Lee Martin
    Moxie
    (Telegraph Recording Co. )

    An apt way to categorize Moxie, the new album from Daphne Lee Martin, would be to call it “steam punk pop,” for it is equally retro and modern and thoroughly out this world. Artfully produced by Bill Readey at Fuzzy Rainbow Production, with her band Raise The Rent, the ten song collection mixes a myriad of sounds organic and electrophonic, including strings, woodwinds, brass, mellotron, raw percussion and bracing electric guitar. All of this clever accompaniment lifts Martin’s loose vocal stylings and cheeky Tin Pan Alley songwriting to high theatrical settings. The waltzing “Whiskey and Sin,” finds Martin channeling Peggy Lee singing in some interstellar speakeasy backed by Jack White, where the fashion of bowler hats and bow ties are mixed with Go Go boots and mini-skirts. The cabaret melodrama “Molotov,” is a cinematic epic all on its own mixing swinging drums with moog and banjo to tell a bawdy lover’s lament. “Faithless Beauty,” is a wonderfully orchestrated Bossa Nova duet of tangled lovers trading barbs, while the infectious reggae groove and melodic hook of “Whispers,” is an album highlight that floats from a Jamaican dance hall all the way to New Orleans when the horns add the soaring St. Louis Blues coda. The chilling macabre of “Cheers, Darlin” would be a suitable soundtrack to the works of Anne Rice. If the SyFy channel ever decides to bring back Firefly, Joss Whedon may have found his new house band in Daphne Lee Martin and Raise The Rent as Moxie exemplifies strength and breadth of  there musical talents.
