IMO, the moe. show in Vancouver was pretty good, but definetely had it's dull moments.
For me, it seems that about 2 in every 5 or six moe. shows I see kick my ass probably harder than any other band can. The other three that don't, well I'd probably rather see any other band then them. It's usually a matter of song selection.
I guess I'm a gambling man, cause even though I know the odds are agaist me getting the awsome show that I'm looking for, I'll still travell the distance and sacrifice the time and money, if I have it, for a chance at getting the goods.

I own this DVD called "muppets magic". It's all sketches from muppets on Ed Sullivan. All before "the muppet show" was created. Here's a link I just found to purchase a copy for $7.50...

SWEEEEET!

Oh yeah, and here's some info on the thing i signed up for.... I did the "Galleria" option. My plan was to cancel before they start charging me 17.95 per month. When I called to cancel, they first, trying to talk me out of it, said that for the year I wouldn't have to pay the fee every month. Just once. Then they told me that aside from all the discounts I'll be receiving, which it turns out that some are my girlfriend's favourite stores, they'll send me 4 certificates for $15.00 grocery rebates. In other words, througout the year, for my 17.95, I can send in my grocery receipts 4 times (as long as they're over $40.00), from any grocery store, and they'll send me a $15.00 cheque each time. Plus a similar deal with haircuts and optical stuff.
If you're on that one try canceling and let them buy you back. Ask about the rebate offers.

So I just checked my status and it looks like I only need 2 more! I havn't checked it a while. Actually I gave up on it for a while, but I'm back and interested so if anyone wants to click here and help me out, feel free! Thanks.
-
You don't have to worry about #2. If you find that you messed it up, there's allways #3, 4 and 5. That'll fix'er up real good!
-
I believe, according to a recent article about them, their now considered "love funk" and not "porn funk". I guess it's kind of like how all the "jambands" don't want to be jambands anymore. Either way they're good times. Chris Berry's probably the best singer in the Canadian jam music scene. I can't wait 'till they get back west and we get to see some more "Duran Duran Duran"!
-
So here's a little "curve ball" (as HOB puts it).... Due to the headlining act of the show wanting to go on earlier, Slammin Jack will now be STARTING THE 45 MIN. SET AT 8:30pm. Hopefully some of you will get this message on time to change your plans. Please still come early to help support us.
Hope to see you later!
-
Tomorrow night! 9:00pm sharp!
c-Towns.... No Mule/ Moe. after party. A) I'll be at the Mule/ Moe. show, and
Hopefully there won't be time for "afterparty". -
September 28th, Jack will be openning for North Mississippi Allstars and She Stole My Beer. Tickets are only $16.50 and Jack goes on around 9:00pm. Come early and support Jack!!!
-
Make sure to start the day early and come up Mount Washington (20 min. from Cumberland) for a free Slammin Jack show from 2:00pm 'till 4:00pm. It's a great excuse get get up the mountain, go for a hike, play some disc golf, see the sites and get your dance on.
-
Don't forget, after the Spearhead show this Saturday night the party continues @ the Media Club. Steve will be hitting the stage @ 11:00 (ish) & then Jack @ 1:00. It'll go 'till 3:00am so bring your energy bars!
-
I stand corrected. Jakis is right. Just Grateful Dead, Phish & BNB.
I gotta play hooky from work more often... this message board stuff is fun.
-
guigsy.... actually if you look at my original post, I said that the time that I saw them, "they kicked ass", so don't get so defensive.
and djed... I've seen MMW over 15 times and I'll see them again. Often I wouldn't say they're jamming, I'd say they're noodling and dicking around.
oh yeah.... I have a beard and sometimes where a dead shirt and because I like him, Bela is a jamband.
-
"are MMW? is Bela?"
yes.
"who are jambands then, Phish, Gratefull dead and Burt Neilson Band? "
now that's some funny shit considering last I remember, BNB was one of those wanna be, not wanna be jamband bands.
"personally, i dont know why they arent just known as a fuÇking rock band. it's pretty simple to me. rock n roll"
So if you're gonna try to win someone over with the Slip, just tell them "they're a rock and roll band". Do you think that's sufficiant? I think that that's like saying "they're a jamband". Not so explanitory. It's been a while since I've seen them, but last I heard (about 4 years ago), it sounded like jazz to me.
-
bouche Said:
personally...
jamband=talented musicians playing real music, live, varying, impromptu, live creativity, toying, experimenting, pleasing, smoking weed.
All is correct, but maybe not the weed part. A lot of jamband players don't smoke weed. Though, a lot of those guys are the ones who spend way too much time trying to convince everybody that they're not a jamband 'cause it's apparentely super uncool to be a jamband. Weather they somoke weed or not, those guys make me laugh.
I think if you call a band a jamband, you still have to define that band a little more because obviously there's so many variations of jambands... jazz, blugrass, funk, reggae, jazzy funky reggaeish bluegrass...... whatever.
I think jambands are cool and if the band is advertised or talked about on this page, they probably ARE a jamband.
The Slip (back to the point of the conversation), who are definetely a jamband.... When I saw them back at their first time playing evolve, I had the opertounity to play the stage right after them and had the opertounity to have some backstage percussion jams with the drummer, they kicked ass. I haven't seen them since. Not too sure if I'd be a hardcore fan if I've seen them a lot since. The concept reminds me of an east coast Garage Mahal. People love 'em, they're absolutely amazing players, and usually I get bored when I see them. Them's the breaks... sometimes the vertuosos aren't so much fun to watch for more than a half hour.
Cully... I know where you're comming from.

Mine still says that I need to complete something, but it shows the couple referals I have who also need to complete the thing. I hope I get the Ipod before cancelling.

Brickhouse plays in Vancouver ususally 4 nights a week and are so much fricken fun. Check out the live video footage of "Ruby" on their website. Then check the other songs.

All the audio tracks are good as well.
-
Thanks.... If yours is full, you can start sending your friends to one of your loyal referals....
-
So when do I start soliciting for referals?
The "Gallaria" people confirmed that they have my info over the phone, but it still says in my account that I haven't finished.
Hopefully there won't be time for "afterparty".
