The Grateful Thread

All the bull shit about Nateva was exactly that "Bull shit" Actually there was some farm smell. . Went pretty well I thought.

DMC see you at the Vibes. Got an e-mail about prices going up or something like that today. Good timing on your Part I think Sat is the price increase.

There's always some sketchiness at these things.. It's unavoidable..

Only problem with GOTV is I REALLY want to see Mix Master Mike and they won't let people in with day passes... that sucks..

Many venues will move you along if you don't go into the show. Dogs in herkimer... we saw a dog fight with flesh being spit out. Just leave the dogs home or don't come to the show.

wonder if that was the scum bags behind me in line at Herk. Old Volvo Sedan from VT with 5 punks in it and 2 pit bulls.

pissed me off that they weren't enforcing the no pet / dog policy. I almost think venues should invite animal control officers on property to round up dogs. The pound is probably a better life for these animals than the way they're treated by their owners on lot.

I saw God Street Wine on Saturday night. Not sure if any of you were into them back in the day, but they totally grooved me. I used to see them all over the NYC area...they used to play until 3:30 at Nightingale bar on 2nd and 12th street..right across the street from the old 2nd Avenue Deli. Anyway, I digress....they were in the first H.O.R.D.E eventually signed a record deal but nothing went anywhere and they folded up shop in '99. They got together last summer for a day and then night set in memory of one of their original fans that died. This year, they announced 2 shows at Gramercy Theater in support of MS. They sold out in pre-sales and they announced 2 more at Irving Plaza this past weekend.

A lot of fun. Quality is audience and I don't have much tolerance for that...but they put up sbd's from the Gramercy Shows:

They always were and still remain a really fun band to see. Great vibe...and imho, they cover a lot of ground.

Glad to see people getting out.

DHS you going to puddleduck on August 6th at the stone church? Never been there would be a birthday show for me, just saw it. Might be fun.

A week from today I will be sipping domestic canned beer in the lovely city of Bridgeport and could not be any happier.

 

[deadheadskier]

hmmmm.......we might be down for that.

 

[deadheadskier]

so, looking back, what do you think Bobby thinks of this gem. :lol:

 

[dmc]

I love Brent and Billy Cobham in the video...

 

[deadheadskier]

and Alphonso Johnson

some serious ass talent in that band.....but man, what a 80s trainwreck tune. It's right up there with those Jefferson Starship tunes of that era.

You'd never know that one of the better drummers and bassists that ever picked up those intruments was in that band.

Wait - thats not Brent..

 

[dmc]

I'd rather remember them like this.,.. haha...

 

[deadheadskier]

Brent was in the midnites though

I didn't think it was him either in the vid, but thought who knows, camera angles, make up.

Brent was probably like, screw you Bobby. Ain't no WAY I'll be caught dead doing the world's most cheesy video. :lol:

Panic killed it last night. Man do I wish they toured regularly up this way.

They opened with the tune Pigeons. Schools dedicated it to the Kings of Leon. We weren't sure why at the time, but come to find out the night prior the Kings of Leon ended their show after 3 tunes because a pigeon pooped into the bass players mouth. :lol:

freaking hilarious.

Truck packed with everything but food. Getting psyched for the long weekend of music. Lucky I have a big truck. It looks like I am moving, but i will have one of everything.

Looks like it may no be a weekend with a bunch of rain either. Rain is a staple at the vibes. Maybe a thunderboomer on thursday, but nothing major.

 

[dmc]

I may have some family issues to attend to on Friday - It's going to be tough to make this one.. Going to try..

 

[Vortex]

Sorry DMc. Hope it goes quickly.

So, apparently last night was a total trainwreck. Bobby was either completely wasted or severely exhausted.

Hopefully he hasn't relapsed into some of the problems he had in 04 dead that lead to the cancellation of the Fall 04 Ratdog tour due to 'exhaustion'......wink, wink, nudge, nudge

 

[deadheadskier]

damn, talk about stumbling and laboring

 

[dmc]

uh oh... Glad I finished up my stuff today so I could go tomorrow...

Damn.. Thats bad...

 

[deadheadskier]

intrawebz rumor suggests he was dosed......hard.

Apparently Phil busted his ballz tonight and said, 'Only drink out of a cup you poured yoursel Bobf'

that makes me feel somewhat relieved that he's not sick/exhausted. Still worry about a guy partying too hard when in his 60s. Hell, I've had to leave shows as an attendee when too f'd up; couldn't imagine having to play under the lights in front of a couple thousand people in that condition.
