Burnt

Truck Driver and lovin' it.

I was offered free tickets to see Roger Hodgson at Casino Rama. I said "no", but that's happening tonight in Orillia, if you're into that sorta thing.

He's also playing on saturday night at Casino Rama as well.

I guess I'm a member of the club as I don't have a middle name either.

Their stuff I've heard sounds really interesting. I did email them to find out their taping policy about 2 weeks ago and haven't heard a word from them yet. Bradm you have any answers about their policy?

Good show, good times..

I guess I was a bit clappy.. hope I didn't wreck the recording. I've been doing a bunch of rhythm clapping lately.

Well you wouldn't have ruined my recording as I was onstage micing Dave's amps directly. Can't speak for Bradm though who is the one that set up right in front of the stage.

So what's the taping situation like at the Dominion?

Never been to the venue before.

I went to

and checked out the pictures' date=' and I'm wondering if

might be the back room. If it is, that doesn't look too bad, and even if it is, Lauzon's music lends well to on-stage micing.

Aloha,

Brad

Thanks for the info Bradm

BTW Stoned Philips you still haven't filled in E yet even though a couple of us have mentioned it.

E - Enter Sandman (Metallica)

E - Enter Sandman

P - Paralyzer

R - Rockit (at least I think that's it, remember that 80's Herbie Hancock tune)

Can anyone even name a member of Ten Years After that isn't alvin lee?

Ric Lee - drums

Alvins brother, couldn't name any of the others of the top of my head.

...horrible way to play a city for the first time.

This isn't their first show in Toronto, they played that SCI festival at the Docks a couple of years back. Unless you meant their first full length solo show.

After looking at the entry in my show diary in detail it states you guys opened for Days Of You. Does that jog your memory a bit more?

he first time we played in Toronto was after Phil in the summer of 2000 or 1999, probably 2000. We either stayed at the Royal York(jay's crazy tavel agent deals) or drove back after the show. I remember being amazed that anyone came to see us. good times!

I checked my concert diary which lists ALL the shows I went to from the summer of '99 to the end of '01 and I also checked all my DAT's. The earliest recording I have of nero is November 3, 2000 at the Zone. I didn't go DAT until 10/22/99 and never taped nero on analog cassette.

I also remember very clearly that both Velvet and Dave told me at different points throughout the night that it was the very first show the band had played outside of the Ottawa area.

You guys had your 4-track recorder out but something didn't work out and so you traded me a copy of your very first album for a copy of the show. It was a cd-r that you guys burned and were selling at the time.

This was not an after Phil show or any type of after party, you guys just showed up to play a regular gig .

I don't think I was even working at the Comfort Zone in Nov. 2000

You weren't working there yet.

so they must have been mistaken. I've hallucinated a lot of things but not booking and advertising a show.

What are you refering to here?

No, I think we had them in around June or July in 2000 and that was the first time.

November 3, 2000 was the first show played outside of Ottawa folks. At least that's what they told me that night I taped them.

Somebody let me know when this torrent shows up on a site that does not require registration, thanks.

i don't know what jaimoe is getting at, but i'd say this:

getting hit by this:

wouldn't make a pretty picture.

Chances are the person in the Smart car would walk away from it, even if the car would probably be a write off. With the full roll cage the Smart car is a very safe car to drive. Haven't you seen Nascar were they hit the wall head-on at insane speeds and walk-away in most cases? Same idea with the Smart car.

Jaimoe the Smart car handles fine on the highway, I have no idea what you are talking about. I've driven on the 400 series highways with one before and never had any problems.

There were two problems with it that I found:

1. The engine was a little on the loud side but I guess thats because it's a diesel engine.

and

2. The top of the line stereo system sucks!! Don't waste your money on it, I'd go out get something professionally installed after you bought it.

Toronto's clubs are dying because the folks that come out to the clubs to take in jazz either will drink water or nurse a single cocktail all evening and the club owners cannot afford to pay the artists and their operating costs...simple as that...

prices...

Just to clear something up here. The Montreal Bistro closed because their lease expired and the owners of the property are turning it into a parking garage from what I've heard.

BTW I only listen to 91.1 at night and it always seems to play different way out stuff so unless their daytime programming is different I don't understand these comparisons to the crappy Q107.

shwarmas... sarah's or Ghazale both on bloor..Sarahs is close to spadina stn (slightly west, south side) Ghazale is west of Bathurst stn (north side, next to bloor cinema)

Ghazale I hate to say SUCKS now. I went there the night of Tony Levin and for the first time ever I was let down big.

The whole place has been redone and seems to be under new management along with all new staff.

Is taping allowed at this one or will it be stealth?

I only ask because it's not a normal charlie Hunter gig.

Here's the complete setlist:

StinkFoot

Inca Roads

Don’t Eat The Yellow Snow

St. Alphonzo’s Pancake Breakfast

I’m So Cute (TB)

Pound For Brown (TB)

Tryin’ To Grow A Chin (TB)

Punky’s Whips (TB)

Black Page No. 1 (TB)

Black Page No. 2 (TB. Steve Vai)

Peaches En Regalia

Village Of The Sun

Montana (Steve Vai)

Trouble Every Day (TB, Steve Vai)

...shit almost forgot that Peaches. Sweet god it was great. Close as i'll ever get, and even though Project Object at the Comfort Zone was great, this was a concert proper in a big theatre.... The drummer (I think it's the 'Z' band drummer - Joe Travers) sang some of Frank's leads and played incredibly the whole show...

That is far from the complete setlist. Here is the FULL version, btw at least 6 people taped it and 4 have been made available so far.

next time, try bringing a chick with you and have her do the driving through the border check. i find they're always easier on girls. Not that it's right for them to treat ladies differently, but they do nonetheless.

I disagree with that statement. The ONLY 2 times I've ever had a problem getting into the States have both been with women driving.

BTW nobody has mentioned this yet but once you are refused entry into the States you can't cross for a minimum of 3(?) years.

Disc One

d1t01 Intro + > [1:27]

I might recommend that it go like this:

Disc #1

d1t01-d1t08 + d2t08

Disc #2

d1t09-d1t10 + d2t01-d2t07

I believe that would keep you under 80mins a disc. I've seen this done many times for 2 set shows were set 1 wasn't very long, I do realize this is a one set show though so you might favour the 3 disc method instead.

Right on, Tim. Did you notice any tapers there by any chance? Wondering if he's allowing taping.

I had both audio and video running in Toronto and the guy beside me had one of those pro video camaras (the ones that cost $4000) and had no problems either. Didn't need to clear it with anyone beforehand, just went in and set up.

And as for the show it was mediocre at best. The instrumental stuff was GREAT but the singing was boring as hell and since he was promoting his new cd which is the first to have vocals he concentrated more on the vocal stuff.

Where did you see this info? I checked around the Denon and Marantz websites and didn't come across any mention of the sale at all.

What time does this sale start tomorrow? I'd be able to come down right after work but would not want to brave rush hour traffic coming into the city in the morning only to find out they don't start the sale until 10 or 11am.

I'd love a chance to upgrade some of my stereo equipment at really cheap prices.
