Velvet Posted November 26, 2001 Report Share Posted November 26, 2001 So, how was it? Seems like a weird night for open stage...Who played? Is it a jam or are bands showing up? Ultimately should I go there and play, or is it lame? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted November 26, 2001 Report Share Posted November 26, 2001 Not to knock any of the individuals that decided they wanted to open themselves up to drunken fools stumbling around an empty bar.....but....if you are looking for a jam-band friendly hippie open stage, then this wasnt the place to be...stay home and jam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo Sanchez Posted November 26, 2001 Report Share Posted November 26, 2001 I'm pretty sure that was a one off. I think a show got cancelled. It was pretty funny not being able to get into barrymores but still wanting to drink, It was kind of like being held captive with an AC/DC soundtrack.

bradm Posted November 27, 2001 Report Share Posted November 27, 2001 I was there from a bit before 10pm to a bit after 11:30pm, and the place was pretty much dead the whole time. The first band on stage was a punk trio, and they weren't bad, if you like raggedy punk; I think it was their first time on stage (and they were missing their bass player, I found later when I talking to their drummer [who also played guitar]), and they get points for enthusiasm more than chops.The second act I saw was a duo, at first a female vocalist with an acoustic guitar player, then the guitar player and Justin (the guy who was doing sound that night) on electric guitar. They were a little better than the punk guys, but the feel was kind of a downer (a lot of slower stuff, Kurt Cobain covers, a total wreck of "New Minglewood Blues", etc.).I guess I expected more people (both players and audience), and a bit more organization. I hope they do it again; with a bit more time to get things arranged, it could be fun.Aloha, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
