SarahC Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 The show last night was good. I'll have a review up in the review section tomorrow. Me and a buddy were on the front row. Jay smiled a record 4 times!!!! It was awesome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
watch me fall Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I'm seeing them in Charlotte on Thursday. Pretty excited, considering I haven't seen them since May 2007. I wonder if they are playing any new songs on these dates. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jakobnicholas Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I like Farrar quite a bit. The more his album titles made me reach for a dictionary, the more I lost interest. But no doubt the guy still can write some great songs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder if they are playing any new songs on these dates. about a 3rd of the set Saturday was new stuff, i'd say. it was all really great. It was really more of a low key show, a lot more slow/mid-tempo numbers, but really good. I was suprised there were no UT numbers... here are my pics from the Chatt Show... http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=6213...120&l=dd7cc P.S. DS, any way I can send you a B&P for the May '07 Chatt show? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vacant Horizon Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 i'm up and down with him. the first three son volt albums are utter classics in my book. why aren't the boquist brothers in the band anymore? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

brianjeremy Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 they should've gotten it! it wasn't jay farrar, it was son volt man! I agree 100%. Son Volt Mach I is way better than Mach II. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Vacant Horizon Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 FALSE is mark spencer in the band now? he was great with farrar solo. why doesn't jay play lead too. he is so good! They are all classics in my book. even the search? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CortezTheKiller Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 even the search?Love The Search. And it grows with each listen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Doug C Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Mark Spencer + Chris Masterson > BoquistsI agree. Not leaps and bounds greater but they are both formidable musicians. I have seen Mark with Jay before and Chris with Son Volt. I am really looking forward to seeing them both with the Volt on Saturday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bigshoulders Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I'm venturing out to catch them at the Lincoln Theatre in Raleigh tonight. (For my money, it's one of the best-sounding venues in the Raleigh/Durham area) This will be the 3rd time I've seen them there, but one of the shows was played out on the streets for a benefit for something or other. Never saw them with the Boquist Bros., but Chris Masterson feckin' shreds on the guitar. He's not Nels Cline, but the guy can play the hell out of a guitar. Cheers,Kevin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Doug C Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I like Farrar quite a bit. The more his album titles made me reach for a dictionary, the more I lost interest. But no doubt the guy still can write some great songs.Son Volt/Jay Farrar/Gob Iron album titles:Trace, Straightaways, Wide Swing Tremolo, A Retrospective 1995-2000, Sebastopol, Thirdshiftgrottoslack EP, Terroir Blues, Stone Steel and Bright Lights, Live EP, Live In Seattle, Afterglow 61 EP, Okemah And The Melody Of Riot, The Search, Death Songs For The Living. I am curious (but not yellow). Which of these titles, other than possibly Terroir Blues, made you 'reach for a dictionary'? Regain your interest. I'll bet that you'll still like him quite a bit.

LenF Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I am seeing them tonight, as well (The Neighborhood Theater is much better now that they have ripped out the permanent seats.). I think the last time I saw them\Jay was around 2004 or so. They\he has been very good each time I have seen them. I have not kept up with the lineup changes or their albums lately.
