Kanada Kev Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Yup! I'll get some more pics up tonight, but here's one i found online. The area where they setup the stage is in front of that tall building on the right. Neat to walk around there and you can see the old water wheel and crubmling foundations of the original structure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mousepad Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Thanks for ordering the tickets mousepad ... looking forward to our annual birthday show! Peace, Mark You're welcome. I guess we'll iron out the logistics later but you're always welcome to sit on the back of my bike and be my bitch! You'd look good in leather!

mark tonin Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 You're welcome. I guess we'll iron out the logistics later but you're always welcome to sit on the back of my bike and be my bitch! You'd look good in leather! Hmmm ... as much as I try, I just can't come up with a witty reply to your offer! :) On another note, I (finally) started reading Levon Helm's book (This Wheel's on Fire), and am enjoying it very much. Lots of musical history that I had some sense of, but the book is giving me an even bigger appreciation for the historical roots of some of the music that I enjoy. And it will certainly help to add to the experience of seeing Levon and his band. Peace, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blurry Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 you're always welcome to sit on the back of my bike and be my bitch! You'd look good in leather! too funny!! makes for a great visual - I suspect it would look something like this...... Well this is shaping up to be quite the show. Great to hear you're heading over MT and Mousepad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

backbacon Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 I (finally) started reading Levon Helm's book (This Wheel's on Fire)Please start over but read out loud and record it and I'll grab the tapes off you when you're done and just listen the book in my car to and from work.

Kanada Kev Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 And to make it even better, head down a day early and catch this:The first show planned this summer for the grounds of High Falls Brewery, 445 St. Paul St., has been announced: Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi's "Soul Stew Revival" is 5:30 p.m. July 11. The show is a wild bag of Etta James, Junior Wells, King Curtis, the Rolling Stones, Blind Willie Johnson and the like. Scrapomatic also plays. Tickets ($30 advance, $35 the day of the show) are at Aaron's Alley and Ticketmaster, (585) 232-1900 or www.ticketmaster.com. Cool venue. I caught the SCI Big Summer Classic show there a couple of years back. I'll post a few pics tonight if i can. Well, it's a few nights later, but. Here are a couple of pics from the High Falls Brewery site from the Big Summer Classic in 2005. I had a couple of all access passes via JonO (sound for SCI) and we hung out "backstage" for a while where my buddy Jim and I found a lonely keg of Heiniken. We proceeded to hang out there for a while and poured for anyone who wanted some. Good times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Mark' date=' you're the best![/quote'] Sorry buddy, I just finished the book and am now reading this message! I'll keep you in mind before starting my next musical biography! I knew that things got ugly with The Band from other things I've read, but Levon certainly paints a grim picture. And wow, I never realized just how big The Band was back in the day. I was lucky enough to see them a few times post-RR, but always thought that they were more of an under-the-radar phenomena than the book describes. Phil and Levon together ... wow! So much musical history. And sweet pictures Kev ... certainly nicer than the one Blurry posted! I'm expecting a nice cold Heineken when I see you in Rochester!

Kanada Kev Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Here's the venue from Google Maps. Really doesn't look big at all! Wonder if/when this one will/could sell out. I wouldn't wait until the last minute on this one ... especially with it being on a Saturday and the number of Heads withing a short drive from this place. Check it out: http://tinyurl.com/5dgtgh Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blurry Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Are all the pictures we've seen so far of the Highland Bowl? Is where they had the Big Summer Classic going to be the same place as where they have the phil/levon show Kanada Kev? It looks a lot bigger than those first pictures posted.

mark tonin Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 More info has now been posted here:http://www.bigcitysummerfest.com/index.htmlWhat are people doing after the show re: accomodation? I don't see an obvious hotel or campground choice from any maps I've looked at. I did send in a question asking for accomodation suggestions via the website ... I'll let people know what I hear from that.Peace, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
