July 14 Lynyrd Skynyrd
The same quotes that go around modern versions of "Guns 'n Roses" should also go around the current incarnation of "Lynyrd Skynyrd".
-
Apparently the Stones are announcing their tour on Thursday.
-
My wild guess is that Bluesfest will present the Stones offsite at TD Place.
That certainly sounds more feasible than the Stones at Bluesfest proper.
-
Rumoured Stones tour dates, via someone on PT who is often pretty close with these things:
I think that Québec City is much more likely than Bluesfest, but the speculation is fun.----------------- The Promo Events -------------------

Dislike. I will eat your share of the chili.

Brian Wilson and Rodriguez just announced a tour that puts them in the right place at the right time, although days off are scarce. I also note that Rodriguez isn't playing the lone Canadian date, which makes me think there might be border issues:

June 19 San Diego, CA—Humphrey’s Concerts by the Bay
June 20 Los Angeles, CA—The Greek Theatre
June 23 Austin, TX—Frank Erwin Center
June 24 Dallas, TX—Verizon Theatre at Grand Prairie

June 27 Nashville, TN—Carl Black Chevy Woods Amphitheater
June 29 Philadelphia, PA—The Mann Center for the Performing Arts
June 30 Wantagh, NY—Nikon at Jones Beach Theater
July 1 Holmdel, NJ—PNC Bank Arts Center

July 12 Seattle, WA—Benaroya Hall – S. Mark Taper Foundation Auditorium
(*) Brian Wilson and band only / Rodriguez will not appear

Crazy lineup. One of the guys from Greensky told me yesterday that he thinks they'll get one song. Should be quite a revolving door on that stage.
-
My friends and I ended up getting tickets behind the stage for all three nights. They say no view on the ticket so I guess there will be a backdrop on the stage? Seem like pretty bad spot to be in at the show, lol.
I say good on ya! You're paying for the atmosphere, in a sense, but hey, it gets you in and a part of things, so party on, good sir.
-
Nice. Maybe something for us to do with our two tiny roommates some Sunday afternoon.
-

That's what I'm talking about Schwa. I saw a post on facebook today saying to stay tuned for something special for those without tickets so sounds like a couch tour event if I ever heard one.
Maybe a good time to have some folks up to point clark a la bonfire/ with lots of room for camping in my yard and lake swimming. Running past the boss now.
Please let me know where to send my envelope.

Saw them in Syracuse and Cleveland a couple of weeks ago. The Syracuse show was OK, but Cleveland was the absolute heat (in the parlance of our times). Paul Hoffman, the mandolin player, came up to me afterwards and said "Now that's more like it." Indeed. "Small Axe" was an early highlight and goes way beyond the novelty of a bluegrass band covering reggae. "Don't Lie" at the end of the second set was a monster. Check it out:

Also, there is a live hi-def webcast of their Chicago show tonight (Saturday, 2/21) starting at 10:45 EST:

Apparently (per Wikipedia) Tom Petty was only involved because George had left his guitar at Petty's house the first day they were recording at Dylan's place. George went to get his guitar and came back with Petty.

Apparently he was a real fixture on the scene in NewYork City for 20-plus years. A few bands have paid tribute to him in recent days, including moe. and Yonder. A sample of his recordings:Recently, one worker spotted a ticket request from Eric Vandercar, a 53-year-old bond expert who died this month in a New York train accident. The sorters set up a tiny memorial beside his envelope: a candle, his photo and a vase of greenery.

I like what you're telling me, BR.

My wife and I have been talking about hitting this up this year. We just need to park our 13-month-old twins somewhere for a few days.
And I love seeing the Gibson Brothers in there. Definitely my favourite traditional bluegrass band.
-
I thought it was a pretty funny column. Clearly trolling doesn't know what he's talking about, so pretty easy to laugh off.
-
I was wondering what John Kadlicek was going to do now that Furthur has officially hung it up. I assume that he just can't waltz back into DSO, which is probably a bummer for him as I would imagine that it's a fairly lucrative operation and it's not like he has royalties or album sales to help pay the bills. Great player, though, so I look forward to hearing what he does next.
-
I was going to say this. People love this around a camp fire, although you'll quickly learn that most people can only sing along to the chorus and the bridge. Still fun, though.and thought it pains me to say, but the mainstream fans have just recently found this one and they fuÇking love it:
Wagon Wheel
Most well known Blue Rodeo songs work in the same context, with the same caveat as Wagon Wheel.

Great news. That first album was in very heavy rotation for me for years.

Happy, merry, etc., ya big bunch of wooks.

Funny choice of an image, though.
