Jaimoe Posted July 26, 2001 Report Share Posted July 26, 2001 I phoned the Opera House and they confirmed that the Galactic show is cancelled. No re-schedule date was mentioned. This really sucks and to think I missed meeting Joe Strummer tonight because I have to work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimoe Posted July 26, 2001 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2001 Andre, when I hear stuff like " I heard " and " it might have been cancelled ", I have to find out for myself. Great news however, Al is a father again! He had a baby girl named Jessica. She's an automatic Peachhead! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimoe Posted July 26, 2001 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2001 Al's email address is: anish@gol.com. You were the one that repeatedly said " Hi. I'm Canadian ". Keep up the Thumper stuff and you'll know why people don't refer to me by that term anymore. I'll now be in Kingston this Sunday due to the Galactic cancellation. Did you cathc Widespread Panic on Letterman? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PassedOutGuy Posted July 26, 2001 Report Share Posted July 26, 2001 Apparently straight from House of Blues the show was cancelled due to lack of interest... and they wouldnt accept the walk up day of sales tickets as enough to have the show go on... i mean it would have been nice to moe it to a smaller venue or something... they only played the Zone last time they were here other than opening for Ben Harper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted July 26, 2001 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2001 Not suprised that there was little interest. They have absolutely no airplay or market-ability in Toronto. Who's going to play them, Q107 or CFNY? No way. I think my friend Scott and I were the only 2 at the Harper concert who knew who Galactic were - and they kicked. Real funk/jam bands are not commercial, and I ain't talkin' 'bout those fuckin' Red Hot Chilli Peppers either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PassedOutGuy Posted July 26, 2001 Report Share Posted July 26, 2001 Oh trust me there would have been a crowd.. the gig at the zone was packed... everyone gettin down .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted July 26, 2001 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2001 I believe you. The Zone would have been great. The Un-Comfort Zone does a great job of marketing jam bands. The Opera House on the other hand... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimoe Posted July 26, 2001 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2001 Unless it's on a weekday, I can't go to Rockport until the end of August - no weekends off until then. I may be off for the Limestone Blues Festival in K-town on Aug 25th weekend however. Are you coming to Toronto anytime soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleB Posted July 26, 2001 Report Share Posted July 26, 2001 Last time Galactic played the ACC, their lead singer was not allowed over the border. They were forced to play an insturmental set (SWEET) to open for Ben Harper. I bet this is the same issue again....... fucking border guards!! Mess with me... that's ok but leave the talent alone!!Going to the beaches Jazz Fest anyway, but now I can make it home in time for Babylon on Sunday.
