"Pride of Cucamonga" still getiing ZERO love? C'mon JG saved the studio version, LOL.
Heck, it's the only good thing about the song.
I dig Jon Graboff's work. Also, Bruce Kaphan has added some steel to TBC's albums in the past,
may be him on "Wiser Time".
Also, Mark Van Allen of Blueground UnderGRASS (as well a ton of studio work for people)
is a great one and I get to see Mark, The Rev and the boyz again this weekend. YeeHaw !
Any you NW Ga, SE Tn, NE Al, etc folks may want to look into the link below for a festival this weekend.
I'll be there, never miss a Cherokee Fram/T-Dawg Production.

Since I am home, and it got put up early:
Thanx, the ATL '90 run was very nice and beautiful weather as well.
Stone Mountain campground will never be the same. I recall many HEADS were thinking the boyz were gonna come on
stage the night of April Fools and be on another member's instuments, exactly what they had done 4/1/80. If you haven't heard the gawd awful
opener of Promsed Land, LOL stream it here:

I love the FB's.
A few weeks back I caught them when they opened for Old Crow.
They played a great set then joiined OCMS for probably 4-6 songs
to end the night. One of the best nights of music I had seen in a long time.
I read somewhere recently (Oh yea, off bt etree) that Simone Felice had
left the band to do another project. Does anyone know the truth?
He is a great showman as well drummer.
-
I'm also hoping for a Bro Betts appearance.
Matter of fact, since the "2" decided to toss out Betts
I have only referred to the band as AB, or Allman Band.
It isn't a brotherhood less Betts, IMO.

Anything by Phil Collins. I can laugh at all other questionable artists, but Phil is the Devil.
-
In all fairness, my two fav country artists are The Grateful Dead and The Rolling Stones.
So, I guess Robert Hunter and Mick Jagger are my fav country lyric writers.
-
I love OCMS and Alison Krauss, but I would consider them more bluegrass than country. As for today's country, can't think of anyone I really like, except maybe Hayes Carll. Also, I think Reba McEntire is the worst. Her voice is like nails on a chalk board for me, and I'm southern!
Same here, I don't think I have ever turned the dial to a country station in my life.
Now, I gew up with the old man sitting on country am stations in the late '60's, 70's
but I just think that "Nashville sound" is no longer there.
I too would say the "country" I like is more bluegrass driven, followed by a more rock driven sound.
If I can hear a fiddle, a pedal and/or as always the sound and lyrics of Brother Gram then I'm good.
if it's good, then it's good to me.
A band with a touch of that old school (alt) country rock is YARN.
See what you guys think at the link:

what are some good country artists out now?
I'm really digging Justin Townes Earle's new one, "Midnight at the Movies".
Several excellent tunes.

check it out, the "last" Cardinals gig is up on archive.org. The Cardinals- Fox Theatre Atlanta, GA 3/20/2009
I was able to catch the magical night which was The Fox. On this tour I was able
to catch the B'ham, 1st ATL, the 2 in Nashville, and then Friday nights.
The only show which I really just didn't dig was the B-ham show. The two in Nashville
and The Fox were dang Good Times. I must say the Friday show may have been the
best CARDS show since '06 which I have attended. I guess I have caught 8-12 shows each
year the past 3 years. There were some great ones but everything from song selection, jams,
beautifil playing, a KIND and respectable sold-out crowd, not to mention this crowd on their feet
from the opening song till the final bows made Friday's show something special.
I don't write "reviews" but I did send a short email out this morning to some friends with the
archived show link and simply stated:
Cold Roses, Natural Ghost, Easy PLATEAU>Batering LINES was Heavy Heavy.
Other HIGHlights for me.............Mag>PDLMMG, Peaceful Valley run and the ending piece of
Icey Monsters, CPMU, Rescue Blues and the best Wonderwall>GOODNIGHT ROSE I have heard
and a fitting song (as of right now??) the last song of a MF CARDINAL show ever.
It was a hellava ride with this band lineup. A band I will miss more than I have any other since
August 9, 1995.
-
I hope that film comes out on dvd eventually.
I agree, would love to see the film. During this time of the Piedmont gigs the
Brothers and all hanger-ons had access to the artist Peter Max's place near the
park. I'm not sure why PM had a studio/house in Georgia at the time.
My aunt (who BTW turned me onto good music back then and got this kid's ball rollin')
was a frequent attendee of the park shows as well PM's place. Oh, the stories she
has shared.

Sheryl Crow played last night. What's her connection, other than through Clapton?
I guess it was around the time TNBC came out cica '93, she opened a leg of a tour,
can't recall the date. It may have even been the year before that album, somewhere
around that period though.
Back then I was stopping in at The Big House in Macon, Ga to visit Kirk & Kirsten West
a good bit. Really just seeinh how the house refurbish was going and as always just to
listen to Kirk ramble on for hours about the early days of the Brothers, etc.
Kirk was absolutely in awe, I would say "love" with SC. According to Kirk, the band also
very much liked SC and she was more than an opening act but a friend. Anytime I could find a
SC bootleg, yes they were import boots back then as her following overseas was much stronger than
here ....I would buy two and take one down to The Big House for Kirk.
There may have been some post sit-ins etc over the years which I can't recall but this is the
time frame where the Brothers and SC first came together.
***edit: Below is a link to The Big House, appears KW bought it in the summer of '93
so I was probably stopping in by late summer. I assume then SC opened some summer '93
dates.

Chris Isaak in ATL at the Tabernacle....Man, I guess almost 10 years ago.
Gal invited me on our first date to go see him for our 2nd date...........
lets say the first date ended so grand I still wanted more and Isaak show
it was.
I was surprised, not a bad gig and man that suit he wore which was made
of small glass mirrors was super cool.
-
I should have mentioned that - mainly, the jam session part.
No doubt the best part of the special.
Still plenty of "cheese" on the special to get ya giggling late at night.

I am who I am because of Elvis.
Well, he did instill my love of live music which is still #1 in my life 34 years after
my folks took me to see Elvis at The Omni in ATL in April 1975.
This 10 year old kid thought Elvis coming on to 2001 Space Odd with a pack house screaming
their heads off was the coolest thing ever.
The Elvis '68 Comeback Special dvd gets HIGHly played at my house. LOL, enough to where
some frequent repeat guests at the house will state "No, please not Elvis again" as I go to
search a dvd to pop in.
-
Doug Pettibone?
YeP, Doug has been an original member of Buick 6 and thus Lu's bands of late but prior to this tour
he joined another band which I can't recall.
Doug is a great string playa.
-
Most of what we can see live on YouTube sounds pretty bad to me.
Except this:
To my ears that sounds beautiful, rough and edgy.
She has always used a stand for lyrics and she may glance at times to the lyrics.
No biggie to me, and has become a pretty decent guitar playing and the band can
flat toss some nasty riffs at ya face.
It's just good ol' ROCK n ROLL.
-
WOW, she gets me everytime.
EVERYTIME.
She once again gladly accepted my bouquet of flowers but didn't show up to
my hotel room. Oh well, I will still always put the room number on her card.
Buick 6 again threw the HEAT as the opener.

21 Motherless Children [with an emphasis on the Macon, GA residence of Blind Pearlie Brown
She said that, while living in Macon, GA as a child ("in the early 60's" was the time frame she gave), her father took her to see Blind Pearly Brown sing. She said that this was her introduction to Delta Blues.]

[Lucinda comes to a full stop at this point and announces future merch discounts for fans subjected to the "gouging" fees assessed by the Live Nation-Ticketmaster "Mafia"--adding ironically "I'll never work again in this town after saying all this" and then noting that she would go back to playing on the streetcorner if this trend continues]

One of my friends grabbed this video and I think it came out well. Just ignore the happy hippie around the 1:30 mark, LOL.
I grabbed the setlist info from Lu's official site's forum. Thanks to those folks.

a friend of mine was able to make the show i missed, and he said it was the loudest thing he has ever experienced
Sarah, you know I will be there for the show. My concern will be a tired body as I have the DEAD show in
Greensboro, NC the night before.
Also, for Sarah and any Chatt area peeps....tonight at Midtown Music is Hillbilly Casino, a band outta
Nashville who fall into the rockibilly groove. These guys have been my favorite Nashville - Broadway
band for years. They have been one of house bands at Layla's Bluegrass Inn for many years. Trust me, these
cats put on one hellava show. Try and make it.
-
There I said it, I'm going downtown right now.
I will once again enjoy another SV show.
I'm still a believer that The Search was the best album
of 2007.
Who has attended some recent shows? Word?
Have you heard any news of the May release (new) album?
Have a super KIND VD evening ya buncha FREAKS.

Well this may be the first Blue cave show where seating is GA.
Add that to the usual sh*tty, talkative frat type crowds who go to shows
in ATL and this may get ugly.
Good Times I hope.
-
>>>New Atlanta Show Added!
Good Times and a Blue Cave show as well.
I'll be at the B-ham, 2 - ATL shows and two in Nashville.
Unfortunately, Vegas has the the over-under of a RA total
stage meltdown of 2 shows for this tour.
I'm taking a hellava chance !

Anyone else trying to buy tickets off LiveNation and having the worst time ever?
I tried via tixmast for Asheville and was on right at 10am, and they were gone ASAP.
Shut Out.
I MAY try tomorrow for Knoxville only because my understanding is there are more tickets
available for there than were to Asheville.

The Grateful Dead
in Someone Else's Song
Posted
> Mickey's Barn, Novato, Ca
This reminds me, I recall having a tape of a Barn Session with I think Hart and Garcia, maybe Lesh
as well but had Crosby and possibly another early Bay Area guitar player on the recording.
I remember it being really bluesy, extended jams.
Anyone?
