dimafleck: the living legend. Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 (edited) meh.were they worth 15 bucks? god no.did i manage to have a decent time? a little...cuz i was drunk.is there more hype than substance? FOR SURE.over the course of the night...all of there jams turned into the same monotonous tone for me...it all went the same place...NOWHERE.i guess some of the songs are catchy...but thats about it...they are tight, they can jam and they can sing...but to me, it all seemed a little fake...very little inspirationmy only real highlight was beating jaydawg in an arm wrestle. QUOTE OF THE NIGHT:HIPPY ONE: "hey, what happened to your long hair brah"HIPPY TWO: "oh, i composted it"edit to add: bouche, please change my name...i promise to be a good boy.

boiler Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 I don't disagree. The dancing was fun, they were definatley groovy. There's a lot of potential there with that band, but like you said, somewhat uninspired at times. They looked a little sleepy, but hey, it's the end of a tour for them.They really tried hard and I get the feeling they really believe in their music, which is good. I just think they need to go nappy time. Will see them again for sure, they'll be interesting to see grow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marky Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 i fully disagree, grantedi am the promoter but i thought that was one of the most pumping shows i have seen in a while. Those guys have loads of potential and i think will be making a big splash in coming years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boiler Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 (edited) one more thing, i thought the lighting was kick ass.even though I thought they looked sleepy, I didn't say they sounded sleepy, which is what really mattered, after all I didn't stop dancing until about six a.m., then when I woke up a few hours later, and made a nice "TEA", started dancing again.Fuck, where did everybody go. :crazy: Edited March 25, 2006 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Funk Dawg Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 That was a lot of fun, thanks Marky for having us open it, High Plains Drifter had a great time.p.s. Dima and I had the dance-off show down which ended in a draw, then we arm wrestled and and I beat him in 5 seconds. So much for being a tough guy..

Cully Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 I can't believe that you said that the show wasn't worth 15 bucks (I know it wasn't moe.)The jams were great, and the band played two very longs sets, a wicked night...the sound was pretty bad though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimafleck: the living legend. Posted March 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 a bar show should be no more than 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FunkyBeats Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 I had a great time at the show, definetly worth the money and they are now on my list of bands to see. That being said they do have some growing to do but I love to watch (hear) bands evolve as they gain experience. Also the guitar player was impressive, vocals not so much so.

boiler Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Also the guitar player was impressive, vocals not so much so.He was definately an excellent guitar player, FAR FAR better than say...me. That being said he was VERY slick, though I found many of the solos to be rather generic and nothing more than the standard blues licks (albeit played fairly well). Not that there'e anything wrong with that, it just means there's still room to grow in my eyes and ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boiler Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Not that there'e anything wrong with that.I noticed my little spelling mistake but chose not to edit, I like it when things are apostrophe to the "e" even better though, I like it when you have "e" squared.

backbacon Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 I thought the show was great. Definitely looking forward to seeing Tea Leaf Green again.I really like the keyboardist's vocals. I thought they jammed good.The sound was excellent... but only in one particular pocket of the room. Any further to the back from tehre and it sucked. Need more speakers! I enjoyed High Plains Drifter and thought they did a great job of loosening up the crowd.Nice to run into some friends I hadn't seen in quite a while.

Magnum Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 I was undercover at this event with Rick. We liked the TLG set and thought it was all pro. Only criticism is that is was quite predictable with few surprises. But certainly well executed. Now if they'd just learn some Jimmy Buffett, we'd be rockin' smooth.Magnum out.

Demsky Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 The problem with Dimafleck is that he always finds something remotely wrong with the show and then he over exxagerates it 10x over. This guy knows nothing. He just doesn't realize what Tea Leaf Green is trying to get across so he whines about it. Dima, you'se a sucka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
