yermom Posted March 2, 2007 Author Share Posted March 2, 2007 Vegetarians have their pick of a nice vacuum packed serving of organic air or a glass of water. Thanks for flying Airline 'R' Us! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Artifex Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 I stayed up for it. Wasn't bad, tho it was funny seeing Jay just standing there all stone-faced, with his bandmates rockin' out all 'kewl'...specially the electric guitar play. He had it strung all low and was dancing around...weeee-hah. Course I could've just been over-tired and thought it was amusing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beltmann Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 I can't believe I forgot to record this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 I can't believe I forgot to record this.I remembered to and just watched it. I liked it a lot. The horns were a real nice touch. As was the Ryan Adams imposter on the guitar to Farrar's right. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yermom Posted March 3, 2007 Author Share Posted March 3, 2007 I really wanted to watch but I fell asleep. Maybe it'll show up on youtube. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Calexico Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Are there free peanuts? Good. Maybe I can bounce them off your big fucking forehead. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beltmann Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Good. Maybe I can bounce them off your big fucking forehead.Do not use a peanut, a peanut goes rogue, you don't know where a peanut's gonna go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

danelectro Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 I stayed up for it. Wasn't bad, tho it was funny seeing Jay just standing there all stone-faced, with his bandmates rockin' out all 'kewl'...specially the electric guitar play. He had it strung all low and was dancing around...weeee-hah. Course I could've just been over-tired and thought it was amusing. Jay only stood still when he was singing, during the vocal breaks and towards the end he was actually bopping around. His movements were very Neil Youngish. BTW this is up on youtube now. I love the horns and the music but I don't think I can get into the political anti war lyrics this time. I'm sure he's passionate about it and someone has to do it but I don't need to see or hear any more than I get hit with via the media. Any reason he chose that Brad Rice doppleganger instead of bringing back Chris Frame? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
c53x12 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 I watched my TiVo recording of Son Volt on Conan from the other night. Overall I liked the song. The horns added a lot of presence to the band's sound. It was almost like a mariachi kind of sound. Jay's voice sounded a little shaky, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
caliber66 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Any reason he chose that Brad Rice doppleganger instead of bringing back Chris Frame?Funny you should mention Chris Frame. I recently got the 6-String Belief DVD, and was pretty put off by his playing on a lot of the older stuff. Was his initial departure from the band his or Jay's idea? Maybe Jay didn't want him back...

danelectro Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 I'm pretty sure Chris left when Brad came back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cryptique Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Any reason he chose that Brad Rice doppleganger instead of bringing back Chris Frame?I heard that James Walbourne is playing with Son Volt now, and if that's who you're referring to, the answer is "Because James Walbourne is awesome."

caliber66 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 I'm pretty sure Chris left when Brad came back.Ah, that makes sense. I forgot that Brad was there before he was, and left to do his other thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
danelectro Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 James Walbourne, never heard of him, who has he played with. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cryptique Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 James Walbourne, never heard of him, who has he played with.He leads a band called Royal Gun, and has played a lot recently with the Pernice Brothers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
danelectro Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Funny you should mention Chris Frame. I recently got the 6-String Belief DVD, and was pretty put off by his playing on a lot of the older stuff. Now that I think of it I'm not crazy about that DVD either. I'm not fond of saying "doesn't do justice" but the DVD and the live shows I saw seemed like two different things. It can be that way with performance DVD's, I didn't like Sunken Treasure either. But I really didn't have a problem with Chris just that it seemed kind of flat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
caliber66 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Yeah, I specifically didn't like the way he played some of the older songs. I don't have any problem with the evolution of songs, and there were some songs I liked his interpretation of - so it's not that he changed, but how he changed (and performed) certain songs that bugged me. I had some notes on the performance, in case I decided I cared enough to start a thread about the DVD, but they are at home and I think I tossed them this weekend anyway (guess I didn't care that much ). And to be fair, I'm pretty sure I haven't heard a single other performance by him, so it absolutely could just be that one night... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
