Lazy Lightning>Supplication is one of the best jams in the whole catalog!
Come on man
That parking lot pic is so Massachusetts!
I liked early Brent’s moog-like synth sounds, they were so radically different from Keith. You can tell the era from one note.
Boston 6-15-76 tonight

‘76 doesn’t do much for me, I would have much preferred the Brent show.
How was it?
It was fun man. These guys are so tight. They threw a white rabbit adder at the end. It is the first show for me without drums/space. I thought it was an original set.
Totally agree. Saw them a couple weeks ago where they did 7/5/69 -- opens with Morning Dew then goes Dark Star> St Stephen>The Eleven. They looked like they were having so much fun doing 25 minute improvs where they could really play and show their chops in a way that they can't doing lost sailor> saint era showsQuote:

I think started going to Pastimes while in high school with friends from work in 1980, they were open till '83 or 4 I think. Jeff did an acoustic thing at the cowboy bar Diamond Lil's on Wednesdays, and they also played Good Times(?) by the mall. I went to the RTI quite a bit since it wasjust down the parkway from my house. The house in Hempstead was rented by Jim Mueler (sp) and Billy Katz and was easily identified by the big Steal Your Face painted on the front between the windows. They rented rooms occasionally and one day a friend was telling me about the house he just moved into full of dead heads, when I told him I knew the house he started repeating "8 Duryea man, that's it, 8 Duryea" he was never very stable mentally and pharmaceuticals didn't help, but he was a great drummer.Quote:

The DSO show coming up this week at the brewery in Branford CT ought to be kickass. The beer is good there!
Gonna get sum Sunday in Portland.
Anyone got their eyes on the Melvin & JGB w/John K shows coming around this Fall?
I'm SO stoked! I just got the heads up that I got 4 free tix for the acoustic DSO show tonight. Gonna take the family and do some dancin' 🥳
Yep they crush it acoustic too :) Opened with Big Boy Pete and it got better from there.
^^nice GL! I had that show on my calendar but it was too far on a Tuesday, looks like a nice venue.
It really is. A couple hundred people with great sound and you can go in and out so you can burn one (or more �� ). They get some killer shows there, we have a few more lined up before the end of the year.
Kind of like the old Pastime Pub I guess, I got an open beer ticket there once walking out the front door with a beer while a cop was sitting at the light. He told me to go inside and finish my beer and he'd have my ticket ready when I was done.Quote:

Yeah I'm hoping to be there. You should make the effort too. I don't know the early history of the band, I wasn't around for that (too young) but do remember the name floating around.
I'm going to try to be there, I missed seeing the Stray Cats at the old Pastime Pub a few weeks ago and there were a lot of people there I would have like to have seen again (they auditioned there 40 years ago and never got the job), from what I was told it was a lot of fun (but without the never ending bottles of Jack Daniels being passed around).
I didn't hear about that or I might have tried especially if Brian Setzer was with them. I didn't appreciate them at the time but grew to later.
I saw a post from Tom that Rob Baracco (sp?) will be with the Tricksters for this show. There will probably be other friends and guests around too.
The Stray Cats were a fun band and Brian's a great guitarist, had a gf in at least one of their videos. There were a few very good rockabilly bands back then including Freddy Frog's and the BMT's, Tommy Burns of the BMT's has been Billy Joel's Guitarist for over 20 years now (he also played with the SC's). The BMT's were actually a better band but they did mostly did covers and heavy drinking was part of every night (one member used to put on his conductors uniform in the bar bathroom at 4am walk to the train station and get on the train). There's quite a few people from that crowd who aren't around anymore.

The drummer in this video is Louie Appel, who was also the drummer for Debbie Gibson and Taylor Dane, He always enjoyed a bottle of Jack and his head would get lower and lower as the night went on, but he never missed a beat, he was a great drummer. This is not long before he died.
I don't know who from the original Volunteers (or second version) will be there, Bob Strano Never liked the Dead much (and Deadheads even less), And Bob Miller died 15 or 20 years ago (he did a great PigPen imitation and drank just as hard), Jim and Billy will probably show though. I never saw them with the two other original members (before Jeff and Strano) and don't know if they would show.
Thanks T!
sounding better each tune...Quote:

Thanks for the link.
Holy shit, the Capitol. I saw an early phish show there in 1991 ish, maybe 90? Can't believe that place is still standing. Port Chester was such a shithole. Fun times though.
I think it was this one, I think, no, I really think: https://phish.net/setlists/phish-apr...er-ny-usa.html
I remember Col. Bruce and Good Times to end it. The middle part was sketchy, as was wondering if my Mom's car would get stolen. I probably still have that ticket stub stuffed in an old box of Air Jordans filled with baseball cards.
I fell asleep during Cold Rain and Snow. Rob’s voice sounded like shit during the opening Jack Straw, is that way Jeff sang so many songs at the start? I’ve never heard Skip sound better, he was krushing it. So many bombs!
Skip crushes
Portland, Maine DSO show upcoming on Nov. 15 at the State. TGR ski porn the night before. See you there FKNA
I’m going Thursday down in Western Mass, love DS0
I was listening to the Capital show and noticed I kept turning it up, after a while I looked to see where the volume was set (because it was getting a little loud) and it was up to 3, just for fun I checked the level with a dB meter, 105dB with 125dB peaks (132 max). I love these speakers. good thing I don't have neighbors
Anyone else notice another show playing on one channel very quietly in the background? Between songs I could hear something in the background coming from the Relix live feed, at first I thought it maybe a dirty switch on my end but after turning everything else off it was still there and it was only quiet when I paused the show.
Listening to Set 2 from the other night while I'm driving the desk today, Viola Lee is exhibit A on why I still go see this band whenever I can.

Heading down to NoHa for tonight’s show, stoked. I’m hoping for ‘84-‘85.
Anyone else going tonight?
