Damn ... I didn't know about Ben Keith (I read another review that didn't mention it!)

BT Conspiracy Sunday nights at the Toucan!

Hah ... I wondered if anyone would remember them.

Here's a video of me playing Black Peter last summer at the Kingston Folk Club (I always take the first spot in the night, which tends to not be the busiest ...)

As I mentioned last spring, I host a folk open stage on even-numbered Sundays at the RCHA Club here in Kingston.

On Sunday, August 8, we will have a Jerry Garcia tribute night with feature act Dan Curtis (Butterfingers, ex-Luther Wright & The Wrongs, hemloxoup, BT Conspiracy, Snodbag Feedgrass, etc).

It's free! If you want to play the open stage, sign up is at 7:30, show starts at 8 PM.

I enjoyed this ... thanks!

Ironically the internet has been saying that Prince was over since the internet began.

This discussion is officially over. I present the winner, Low Roller.

Lefsetz is right on the money, as he quite often is.

Part of Prince's bitterness with Internet is that last year he launched his official website and it cost $77 to join (yes, that's SEVENTY SEVEN DOLLARS). Needless to say, very few people signed up, and Prince now has no 'official' web presence.

When he played Creep at Coachella a few years ago, youtube was on fire with it, and he went around and had each video removed (apparently he did it personally). It probably cost him more in time/effort/legal fees than any money he would have "lost" by letting a few videos stay available in order to give him some new cred.

He could use a good lesson from Dead/Phish-type bands in how to keep your fans happy.

i like that ... i like that a lot.

Thanks ...

thanks bouche ... i love it!

new link? that one ain't working

Destiny?

I don't know why everyone makes such a big deal about this song. The reason they didn't play it for so many years was that other than the opening guitar riff, it's lame friggin song

[1] Phish debut

Notes: This show featured the Phish debut of In the Aeroplane Over the Sea (Neutral Milk Hotel).

This show was part of the "2010 Early Summer Tour.

Anyone else think the opener was funny choice, given the G20 nonsense?

I'd like to review the video footage first.

What a fun show! Pretty safe and standard, overall, with the exception of the first and last song. Rock N Roll was the only song featuring any real jamming.

First set was actually better than the second, IMO. The new tune, Joy, and Show of Life kinda chopped up the second set a bit.

Mike's bass was HUGE in the mix (Page a little low) and he sounded like massive male genitalia all night.

Lot scene was great, the lawn was a lot of fun with a couple of great glowstick wars.

Oh, and an added bonus, I accidently bumped into peipunk for the first time since probably 2003, which was very random and very cool.

actually, i had a great time at this venue. None of the reports turned out to be true. We didn't get anything more than a quick patdown on the way in. It was super slow exiting the concert venue, but parking was easy and the lot scene was up to the usual standards.

State Park Police are calling for smaller crowds, Tasers and the closing of the beer garden at Saratoga Performing Arts Center after about 100 concertgoers were arrested and ticketed at two packed Dave Matthews Band concerts last weekend.

http://www.allbusiness.com/crime-law-enforcement-corrections/criminal-offenses/12532999-1.html

Some of the concerts police are targeting for no drinking and stiffer security in the park are OAR on Aug. 9, Phish on Aug. 16, Journey on Sept. 2, Toby Keith on Sept. 3 and others, a source with knowledge of Monday's talks said.

From various 'net reports ... looks like even showing up to the lot with beer is a really bad idea (not to mention drugs). Anyone have any thoughts on this?

looks like a super fun show

Headline is a little misleading, as he didn't actually cut his arm off - still a fascinating story though.

hmm. That waits tune is from 'rain dogs' eh? 'Look out Cleveland' is from the Brown Album.. It kind of seems like they are covering tunes from the other candidate records for the Halloween musical costume...

Phish is fun.

Cold Water is from Mule Variations (Trey also covered House Where Nobody Lives back in ol '00).

I wasn't too impressed with the cover, nor Mike's original, but they may grow on me

New as in first time or new as in off latest album?

Oh I meant new new, like shit we haven't heard yet. There's bound to be new tunes in the works for a new album?

Four new songs last night... wouldn't call that lack of

2 songs last night, plus Show of Life from the first night, which Trey had already done solo ... so really, nothing new yet

that first set looks pretty intense.

I'm surprised at the lack of new songs (so far) this tour.
