awesome show, loved the last song (by an artist I did not know of) called "Down River".

Elton is an underrated piano player, imo. And he actually seems like a really decent dude. I'd love to spend Christmas with him and David and their friends, I bet it would be really nice.

I've finally forgiven him for murdering his own song "Candle In The Wind" back when that Royal babe died.

cheers to Brian!

all the best, happy birthday!

so what you are saying is that Brian often poops his pants?!?!

in.

please touch me, I am only human.

I've been having trouble reliably loading it for days now. Not having any other issues.... is anyone else experiencing the same?

Guys help me with this memory I have of SPAC.

Day two I'm spun out of my head, we're leaving the venue through some back way through the woods. People are everywhere partying in the trees and we come across what looks like a bunch of folks getting high off some natural spring coming out of the ground and the horse cops are trying to shoo everyone away but people just keep ignoring them and freaking out like there on nitrious.

My question is...Did this happen?

yes, yes it did.

I couldn't resist it. Still not sure exactly what it was it just gave me a headrush for a little while.

as far as the hotel goes, I honestly don't remember how I heard this, but apparently that Holiday Inn has now become an upscale rental property, catering to the moneyed Saratoga race crowd. It was absolutely perfect though - leave the hotel and then go for a Summer's hike. 30 Min later you pop out of the woods and BANG you're at the entrance of SPAC. Awesome experience, awesome shows, IMO.

The "southern BBQ" was awesome also, for being in upstate NY!

I just wanna say, thanks to Brian for being a good friend and spelling my name right. lol!

And allso for being a good friend and asking me to be part of this. Really looking forward to this night!

hey - no post-hiatus tunes yet too.

again, interesting.

^^^^ bouche?!? ^^^

Interesting - or I missed something - but it appears there are no covers yet.

I gotta point to a Big Cypress moment as well. The culmination of that whole experience for me was when the band just SLAMMED into the After Midnight Reprise, bringing full circle the promise they had made at the end of the first set (the previous day!) to "let it all hang out". The audience - some now starting to wane, perhaps - got an electric jolt through them. It was an absolute body rush, a totally thrilling moment to be part of. It was probably about four hours into the overnight set by then.

Big Cypress was an absolutely amazing experience.

whoops, that was me...... anyway.

Fluffhead as an opener is saying "we mean business"!

what a nice thread, thanks Deeps. It was a pleasure to make some music with ya and you really helped me and inspired me.

Now I guess the goal is to keep on writin'!

Fat Cats played great last night, Dave Hill is a phenomenal bass player.

Some of the people there appeared to be on some sort of drug. I'm just sayin'.

Aloha, freaks!

I guess Texas is in Canada now? Is there nothing this man cannot do?!?
