kookycanooky Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 Here Ye! Here Ye!Seeing the band last weekend brought back many fond memories. It was the first performance i'd seen the show since Labour day and it truly reminded me why I adore the music so much. This past year saw a very relaxed touring schedual, ever so slowly my Shag carpet CD slowly drifted to the back of my music rotation. I've had such a great time rocking out to burt at numerous venues...most notably my first show, forever ingrained in my mind, -January 2003 at the horseshoe- the very next night after my first jamband show ever (gtb & jsb seamless sets). Also, the 2003 Beer Festival at Fort York...I went by myself and was one of 4 people in the audience. It was where I heard 'by the door' for the very first time...it stands out as the day I truely came to realize the perma-smile inducing music that the band is capable of dispensing. This weekend I grooved to a shit load of very enjoyable music. Seeing BNB and once more reliving the joy i get out of their music - something which i had nearly forgotten - put the preverbial "icing on the cake" that was CTMF.Looking forward to the next stop...Don't stop rocking!

bradm Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 kooky, you must come to Ottawa for Canada Day: Friday night BNB with Peter Elkas at Mavericks, then the usual Ottawa Canada Day party at "that place" on Saturday.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 I'm all over this Appreciation Thread . I've only caught them a small handful of times, but each time they've managed to blow my head clean off. I love not only the devastatingly solid musicianship of each of them, but especially the sixth sense that lets them play it together so well. I'm so looking forward to Canada Day weekend!

bouche Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 BnB is always the highlight of the evening for me. Last year after Bluesfest, they showed yet again what is so special about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booche Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 They give me boners. A band that can actually write a song. Who knew? By The Door is a great showcase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bouche Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 I am having a hard time finding Orange Shag Carpet. I haven't seen it since we moved into this house. I'm afraid of the boxes I may have to bash open in order to find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cully Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 I believe that Jeff H. still has re-issues of Orange Shag Carpet. You should ask him to bring one to you when he visits O-town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zero Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 I know it's just aging and atrophy but it really seems like they were much bigger at one point - I guess two line ups ago - like it was a real event when they came through your university town like the Bourbon Tabernacle Choir (same sort of following). It really shows how the jamband scene in Canada is dwindling - they deserve theÃr due. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
