I do feel a sign coming on....

Wilco

An excellent recap, sir! I applaud your efforts... at great volume!!

Excellent intel sir!

Sure thing Nostradamus...

All tickets have been adopted... thanks all!

Thoroughly enjoyed! Thanks for taking us along with you through Australia Darryl!

I'll start the boiling oil.... just in case.

bump. Wed tickets have been adopted. Still have a pair for Thursday, floor, row P.

The Harmed Brothers.... house concert at sonicshoulder's place!

Thanks ... goose - yeah I know it’s not the exact end of the hiatus. But it’s the first major show, it’s SSF, and that’s always a nice homecoming anyway. Oh, and rest assured that almost all of those other shows will indeed have signage....

Want to help welcome back our favorite band from the long hiatus? Planning on being in Joe’s Field on Friday night at SSF? I think a big, warm, MassMoca welcome is in order, and I’m thinking a little signage would do the trick. Nothing fancy, just a little something to make sure they know we missed them. I’ll make and bring the signs and get them out on Friday at the festival. Your job would be to hold one up at the start of the show. Easy peasy. No flash mobbing, no dancing, no skill required, and no Bull Black Nova’s… If you’re interested in participating, PM me or just reply below and I

Another stellar report sir! Congrats for One Sunday Morning - that’s excellent. Perhaps the Nova will show up soon... y’all need a good acoustic panic attack down there. Cheers!!

Great review Darryl! Can’t wait for the next 5! Have a fabulous week!!!

clearly we haven't met. email sent...

All tickets have been sold. I have extras for both nights, 3 for Wed and 2 for Thurs. No, you don't have to sit next to me nor hold up a sign. Face & fees... no resells please. PM me if you're in need.

As I say to my kids (who happen to all be within a decade of you btw).... “do try and keep up, ok?”

I call bullshit.

So, I checked out “These Truths” by Jill Lepore. I’ve been reading just fiction stuff so this is intimidatingly thick. Anyone read it yet and can confirm it’s worth it?

Jason Isbell with Son Volt opening. I'm calling it the "No Depression / All Depression" billing.

I’m pretty sure the word was “studly”.

So the final three shows progressed kinda like this? Weird (Fun!) --> Weird (Just Weird) --> Weird (Trainwreck) Oh, and for sure I echo the sentiment on appreciating the bbop recaps. Always a pleasure. And way harder than it looks.

Having spent my voting bandwidth for the Louisville show, I figured I'd resort to the tried-yet-not-overly-true signage approach for the Cinci show. I even had a new(ish) sign that said "DON'T FORGET..... to play BULL BLACK NOVA" (see what I did there?). Anyway, I happened to be in the second row, just behind the 4 empty front row seats (see bbop's recap). When Jeff commented about those seats a few songs in, I propped up the sign on one of the empties. That elicited an immediate "THAT'S not gonna happen tonight". Alas, twas not to be. I still think it was a better suggestion for a weddin

Stellar reporting as always, Mr. Bbop. My two cents... First, 26. This is the number of votes that BBN had last night, per a reliable source. I can't claim that I am personally responsible for all 26, but I will say that I thought something between 20 and 25 would be a good, likely-to-win-but-not-reek-of-chicanery number. So there you go, my PSA for the day. I was pretty surprised when he played if after just 3 songs, and on a smaller than normal guitar (I think a little Martin, but not "the" little Martin he uses most of the time). I didn't even get a chance to hoist the sign... which wa
