  1. Welcome Scottie, I have some fond(and fuzzy) memories of past encounters - Drunk and Phlailing in Rochester, the Car of Teachers With Sock-Stashes, and a ridiculous session in your apt. before that Phish Movie, watchamacllit hotel or something... 8]

    Anyhoo, here's my rotation, which is actually six cause I have one of those older Pioneer 6-pack players...

    1. Mark Farina - Mushroom Jazz 3 -funky AND trippy

    2. Fila Brazilia - A touch of Cloth -unbelievable

    3. GBA & Fred Wesley - West Coast Boogaloo- the diggety dank

    4. Jethro Tull 69-01-09 - Great show if a little short. Reminds me of a friend that had a once a year ritual of listening to all the Tull albums (in order) on acid....

    5. Crack Sabbath 01-04-14 Loft Party - Full-on funk sax jammin good times

    6. DJ Krush/Toshinori Kondo - Japanese Trumpet player funks it up with some amazing production. From Miles blasts to spaced out Donald Byrd delay runs... amazing.

    Cheers all, Nero in KW Saturday Night- Maybe Drinks at my place beforehand? I gotta bottle of Absinthe that's going down....

  2. Great show, I was right down near the front trey side and besides the overall volume of Stuart during his 'wield the spade' rant, no complaints.... I noticed Trey looking up in the balcony as well when he was spaced out... i envisioned some crazed hippie playing air guitar and trey following his hands--some kinda sign-language solo.... ahh that coulda just been me though. Les really shone last night, some truly wicked moments, but There was a couple times when I got the sense he or Trey wasn't really sure where to go... maybe where they were 'allowed' to go. I watched Trey stomp through ten different efx on one solo trying to find a sound he could go with, and by the time he found one, the solo was over and it was back to the chorus... strange.

    As for dinner is ruined; Pundits in the review must have a hayday when it comes to their name: "That's not all that's ruined" "They ruined more than my dinner" "Dinner? How can I eat with all this racket" and so forth...

    yeah I came in near the end of their set, but not near enough... I caught a bunch of their stuff at Hillside Festival and when they sat in on other peoples stuff it was fine but when they lead the show... time for a beer on the other side of the island. I mean, I'm all up for people playing the bicycle, but I wish I had the option of throwing a toonie is his cap and walking away....Correct me if i'm wrong but the drummer is Don Kerr of Rheostatics fame. They were kinda like what I envisioned Larry, Darryl and Daryl from Newhart would be if they had a band....
