Rossolee Posted September 27, 2002 Report Share Posted September 27, 2002 Bruce Hornsby is playing tomorrow night in Syracuse at the Landmark Theatre. Steve Kimock is playing on this tour, so the show should be freakin' grate! Look for a couple wearing Kimock for Prime Minister and Kimock for President shirts respectively. Psyched!!

Rossolee Posted September 29, 2002 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2002 Well I just got back from a GRATE time in Syracuse! My girlfriend and I met for the Bruce Hornsby show featuring Steve Kimock. We started the day off with a swim at the hotel to rid the brain of the 4+ hour drives it took to get there. A few cannonballs later we were ready for the day ;-) After this we headed to the mall, as what else would you do in a new town ;-) Actually Bruce Hornsby was doing an in-store appearance at Borders. We thought he was gonna do music, but it just ended up being an autograph session. Kinda cheesy, so we headed out for some eats! We headed to Dinosaur BBQ for some great ribs and spicy shrimp.The sauces are too much! I'd have to say though that Redbones is still the King. We picked up our tickets at willcall then got lucky and heard Hornsby and his Rhythm section doing a sound check of Jack Straw! WooHoo!! Pre-show pints at the Blue Tusk was phun. A killer selection of draft, cool staff, and good music. Enjoyed listening to Marley and the Seapods live album while chatting with some local heads. Next stop Clarks Ale House part of the Landmark building. Got a German lesson on the correct way to order Pilsner from Sarah and the Bartender. Apparently they had difficulty with my pig-latin Canuck of ...Beer... Cold...Lots....Mmmmm. ;-) Into the Landmark we go! The Landmark Theatre was built during the roaring 20's, and has been recently restored. This is an awesome place to see music. Holds about 3000 folks... thick carpets, cool tapestries, a grand staircase, and a very cool looking atrium. We headed into the show early wearing our Kimock for President and Kimock for Prime Minister shirts We had front row, between Steve and Bruce. They did have 2 rows below us in the Orchestra pit that must of been guest tix. Anyways we couldn't have been in a better spot. We made sure that SK got his K. for Pres shirt too! Thanks Armand!! It seemed the band, roadies and Steve all got a kick out of it! Musically the show was amazing. I'm a big Hornsby phan, and having SK play with him was the icing on the cake.They also decided to play thru the setbreak, giving us nearly 3 hours of non-stop music. GFTNC duet with SK was sublime. The segue between Bruce's Great Divide into The Band's Across the Great Divide was mint. Lots of amazing playing by all, his band is way Tight! Masterpiece was phun to see with Bruce on the Accordian, much like he use to play with the Dead. You could tell SK was having a blast! Eyes closed ...smiles...singing along... and ripping solos most every tune. Fav. guitar moments were during End of the Innocence and also when he tore the roof off with a slide solo during the Traffic cover of Low Spark of High Heeled Boys!!!!!!!!! At the end of the show SK gave us a big thumbs up for the shirts, which made an already amazing night even better! If you haven't seen Bruce or Steve....Do It and Do It soon!!!! Cheers,eh!

Booche Posted September 30, 2002 Report Share Posted September 30, 2002 Thank you for the review. I wish I could have gone, but no money also means no going out in town right now, and I think I missed some good action at the Dekcuf last night (hmm, I am SURE I missed some good action there). Bruce and Kimock, man, that must have been sweet sounding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
