kidsmoke Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 The day after the great Lake Arrowhead show, me & the kiddos (Alissa & Brennan) drove into L.A. to see the band again at The Troubadour, a club with a long hallowed rock history & terrific atmosphere.On the drive in we were startled to see the beginnings of the Station Fire, which is now huge and raging over difficult terrain smack in the middle of several L.A. communities...10,000 homes have been ordered evacuated and two firefighters have died. It was big almost immediately, as you can see from the picture below, taken from the freeway. Peter Buck & Scott McCaughey "Here's looking at you, kid(smoke)" Peter Buck Steve Wynn Steve Wynn & Linda Pitmon They did two long sets, serving as their own opening act, and encouraging us to "stick around for the headliners!" (Them again ) We got a fabulous selection of material from The Baseball Project, The Minus 5, and Steve Wynn's solo & Dream Syndicate stuff. All of it wonderful. We also got a kickass version of Neil Young's "Revolution Blues". The audience's favorite singalong was of course a lustily-belted-out "Ted Fucking Williams". What a fantasic show!

kidsmoke Posted September 1, 2009 Author Share Posted September 1, 2009 Sweet...I am seeing the Minus 5 in 10 days! Where? Wish I could be there! We got great recordings of both nights, Arrowhead and Troubadour, and listening to them just makes me realize that these great fun shows just whooshed by much too fast! We also got a song from Scott's new Young Fresh Fellows album, "I Think This Is"..."Let the Good Times Crawl"...that is one terrific album! Scott "autographed" the cover painting of a headless, suit-and-tied torso for me: "Hey Donna, I lost me fookin' 'ead! Love, Davy Jones" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kidsmoke Posted September 2, 2009 Author Share Posted September 2, 2009 Email your way Thanks so much for sharing that EP! Hot damn, that's a prize, I'll have to try and get myself the genuine article. I laughed out loud when "Go Pilots Go" began! Now I'm wondering which set of lyrics came first, the "Pilots" ones or the "Blue Angels" ones. Too funny!

Wendy Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Donna, thanks for the reports! I'm looking forward to seeing them in Chicago soon! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
barbkm Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Sad that I will miss the music fest in NJ (bridal shower for future sis in law) But happy to see them at the Bowery Ballroom on the 23rd! For a bunch of guys who are thinning on top but thickening in the middle, they can sure rock. Seen them a bunch of time as M5 and with Robyn Hitchcock -- and am confident that the night will be rockin! Last time, I told Peter Buck that I've had a crush on him since 1989. He was nonplussed, oh well -- guess I'm not his type. I just wish he'd cut his hair, hate the bob he's got. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
binky Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Hey Donna, I'm making the 8 hour drive from Winnipeg to the Twin Cities this Thursday to see the Baseball Project/Minus 5/Steve Wynn show! This is one of my most anticipated shows this year (maybe ever!),and I'm really hoping this is a good venue to chat with the band. So excited!! Great photos too!

Bink, you are going to have the most amazing and fun time! The band has been very accessible so don't hesitate to get some chat time after the show! Also, we (My son Brennan & I) are in the process (at this very moment in fact) of uploading the Lake Arrowhead and Troubadour shows so that you can download. I'll post a link as soon as that finishes up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
binky Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Just noticed the show is posted on Dime, this should be good!! Not sure if I should have a preview listen before heading to Minneapolis. I'll post the show when I return. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure if I should have a preview listen before heading to Minneapolis. I'll post the show when I return. Boy you're quick. I was just going to post that that was up, and give the link, but you beat me to it. Planning to up it to Archive.org too, but are having a glitch with the encoding...got a question in to the site. So that'll be up soon. We'll also be putting up the 8-29-09 Troubadour show.

beniking Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Just caught the show in Austin last night. We were on the side of the stage right next to Linda. She F-in ROCKS! The show was a lot of fun (I think my ears are still ringing). Pretty cool to be 10 feet from Peter Buck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
