Subj:	ANNOUNCE: Boston, MA, USA [Rock] Music Scene Web pages available

I've finally made some time to write up some info related to the
Boston, MA, USA [Rock] Music Scene.  It's still fairly rough and
incomplete. and needs a bit of work (i.e. there's basically no
band info other than names of some of the Boston bands I like),
but it's a start.  I'll hopefully find time to add more info
soon.

When more complete, this will include information on upcoming
Boston shows, Boston bands, Boston music 'zines, Boston clubs,
Boston record labels, and other resources of interest to bands
and musicians in the Boston area.  So, keep watching... :)

The top-level URL for the Boston [Rock] Music Scene is:

    check out today's Globe's Music section in Living/Arts..
    there is an article about "Home Grown bands with Organic Jams"
    and it talks about the neo-hippie aspect of Beantown's music scene
    with such bands as Plan B, From Good Homes, Groovasaurus and Jiggle
    the Handle mentioned.....the Dead influence seems to be packing clubs
    like the Middle East and TT the Bears.....

    If anyone is in Boston Saturday night and thirsty for some brew ;')
    stop by the Cambridge Brewery, 1 Kendall Square, Cambridge. I will be 
    there all night, my boyfriend is playing an acoustic set at 9:00, before 
    Green Factory.
    
    :), danielle

    >> with such bands as Plan B, From Good Homes, Groovasaurus and Jiggle
    >> the Handle mentioned.....
    
    I happened to catch Groovasaurus at the Middle East Cafe last week. 
    It was the first time I've seen them, and they were great!  The singer
    has an incredible stage presence, and a beautiful voice.  

    My main lady Linda Ronstadt has a new album coming out tomorrow...
    
    C&W/rock 1970's style Linda ... some backups by Emmylou Harris, Dave
    Grisman, and Alison Krause. With REAL DRUMS. In an interview quoted in
    the Glob yesterday she says that the new album might not get much
    airplay on C&W stations exactly because she used real drums and not a
    drum machine.
    
    Well, their stupidity is their loss.
    
    She plans to have a short tour to support the album later in the
    Spring.

Anybody interested in seeing Nanci Griffith at Mechanics Hall in Worcester,
April 15?  I'd like to but my wife has no interest and while not opposed
to going solo, going with others is usually more fun.  I don't have 
tickets yet, so it could be sold out for all I know.  Tickets are in the
$25 dollar range I believe.

PeterT

    
    Country music, drum machines?  Really?  I can't believe that drum
    machines are the standard for C&W.....shows ya how mainstream C&W has
    become.  
    
    Who needs a drum machine when you got rhythm?

    Well, all of you old farts missed a rilly rilly good Radiators show
    last night at Avalon.
    
    Yowsa!
    
    	dave
    

    has there ever been anything BUT a really really good RADS show????

    Yabut this one was about the best I've seen.  GerG concurs.
    
    	(yawn)_dave
    

    
    
     I caught a piece of a show "New Orleans Musicfest" or som'n
    on channel som'n or other last night- Rads were on.
    
    They sounded nice. And BTW, DaveB, that dude DOES play
    a Paul Reed Smith. Damn I have good ears...  :-)

      Re -.1
    
        You may have good ears, but we're gonna have to check out your
    teeth and your trot before we decide.........
    
               ;-)

    not sure where to put this, but this seems to be as good a place as
    any...  since it is a "music happening" :^)
    
    as you all know, there will be music happening all over the marboro
    fish and game club when slip into summer kicks in next month...
    
    what you DONT know is that one of the promised surprises for SIS
    this year is the return of another area band, Cross the Water... :^)
    
    yes, Ed, Pete and da ve are at it again...  we're back... and with the 
    help of some new friends like Steve Massey on Bass and Dave Bates on 
    drums, we've got our fuzzy little hearts set on making even more noise
    than before... :^)
    
    in some ways it's more of the same...  a strong penchant towards
    acoustically oriented music, with a hefty dose of harmonies...  in some
    ways, it's something completely different, rocking out a lot more and 
    putting a new twist in some (not-so-)old songs...
     
    so come EARLY to Slip Into Summer this year...  and see what we've
    been doing lately to scare the neighbors.... :^)

                               TONIGHT

                        -----------------------

FIRST & LAST  at The Firehouse on Commercial St. in Worcester
              9:30 - 10:30pm  outside, in the courtyard...

FIRST & LAST  did so well last week that they are back to open the show 
              tonight, and they will be back at The Firehouse next week too...
              AND they'll be back at Sir Morgan's Cove on Saturday July 8...

FIRST & LAST  is a 5-piece group that has been together for 5 years or so, 
              originating at Auburn High...they play a high energy set of good
              in your face, kick butt Funky/Hard Rock originals...they were
	      featured in the Worcester Phoenix a few months back, and when 
              asked to label their music, drummer Chris Larivee said "just 
              don't call us grunge"

	      I've known Chris for many years, and the band members are all 21
              or younger, and are starting to do well in the Worcester scene, 
              they are regulars at The Espresso Bar on James St. and at
	      Sir Morgan's as well...they recorded Heartbreaker on a Rolling 
              Stones tribute tape put together of Wormtown bands doing Stones 
              covers, (called Exile In Wormtown)...they've also recorded a 10 
              song tape, and bigger things should come their way...
    
FIRST & LAST  is a HOT band, they are getting regular bookings at The Cove, 
              and now at The Firehouse...see these guys now !!!

Hardwick is in Vt.'s Northeast Kingdom -- take 93N to 91N, Rte. 2W, then 15W. 
It's about 45 min. west of St. Johnsbury.

Jamie

Well, this is the first year I've managed to hear about the Vermont
Reggae fest *before* it happens and that it's on a weekend that I 
currently have no plans for... (I and I t'ink everyt'ing gonna be Irie...)

So, can anyone tell me how much tix are (more or less?) And what's 
the best way to get tix?  At the gate?  From Ticket-Shafter?  
Somewhere else? 

Also, anyone know the lineup?  

--tom  (I don't like reggae... oh no...  I love it)

    
    tommon
    tickets were purchased there by my buds last year

    you in?
    
    
    chris

>> no clue on cost tho...
>> you in?

Chris...

Ya mon, this is one rag-a-muffin who's goin' to be there.  

What did your buds think about the show/crowd last year?  

After being with 90+K people at Highgate, 23K will seem like an 
intimate gathering %^)

--t

    well it turns out after some research that the reggaefest cost is nil..
    zip
    zero
    nada
    "Hey it is a free concert now man..some people are gonna take a bath
    on it..but you don't need a ticket to get in"
    maybe they'll close down I-91
    :^)
    i am heading up friday night to scout out multiple sites for our
    caravan...anyone going keep your eyes peeled for the red-yellow-green
    colors of the Ehtiopian flag flying in the wind..we'll be right there

    called the town of hardwick reggaefest hotline...
    here is the gigd if you arrive on friday night

    Acoustic Junction, a Boulder, CO based band will be in Boston on
    Sunday Aug 13...I think they'll be at the PAradise, but I'll get more
    details...for those not familiar with Acoustic Junction, I was turned
    onto them by a friend of mine who has seen AJ many times over the last
    4 years or so...he saw them open for Max Creek, and AJ stole the show,
    he says...he has done some work for the band, getting thier cd's into
    record stores around the northeast...
    
    well, we finally saw them at the Olde Vienna Kaufeehaus back in May, as
    they were finishing up a 6-week tour that included 2 nights at the
    Bottom Line in NYC...they are a GRate 4-piece band, drums, bass,
    acoustic guitar, and 1 multi-instrumentalist who plays fiddle, flute,
    keyboard, and harmonica...all originals, nice harmonies...they have 2
    cd's out on I think their own label, (which can be found at Newbury
    Comix, fyi) and at the Bottom Line shows they were speaking with a VP of a 
    "major label" not sure who that was...
    
    we also just saw them at their annual "Riverfest" in Clarksburg, MA.
    this past Saturday...every year on the 1st Saturday of August they have
    this Riverfest at the home of Reid's (lead singer-songwriter) brother's
    house, and it's quite the party...bands all day (and a huge tent so it
    goes on rain or shine) on 17 acres of land by a river, camping is
    available and encouraged...
    
    the band folk and anyone we've met connected with the band are super
    people...Reid's parents have a band called The CenterStreeters, which
    is a bluegrass band, and they're all talented, very friendly folks...
    
    we'd be going to the show fersher, but oh well, we'll be at Lake Tahoe,
    so we'll miss this show, but we will check them out again...
    
    Highly Recommended

    I saw Groovasaurus at the Ol Natasket in Hull Saturday night.  
    Groovasaurus is a 6 piece from Boston (drums, keys, 2 guitarists, bass,
    singer) and they are AWESOME.  Totally blew me away.  Their fanbase
    is growing, and they always pack the place.   
    
    It is very easy to get swept into dancing when this band is
    playing.  The singer is very mesmerizing, in a Natalie Merchant sort 
    of way.  I highly recommend them.            

    highly recommend AcoustiC Junction also.......

    ...got a ticket at the last minute yesterday for Jimmy Buffet's Great
    Woods show.  It was a real fun time, good crowd, good music and lots
    of dancing on the lawn.   I had heard about his previous nights' shows
    so I was expecting and looking forward to the Uncle John's Band encore.
    
    What made this a special treat...before Jimmy kicked into the song he
    announced that he had a special guest tonite, on drums.  The camera
    zoomed in to a smiling Bill Kreutzman!  He looked like he was having a
    great time up there and he took a bow after the song in front of a very
    enthusiastic crowd.  Great time...

Yes, it was great to see Bill drumming. Oddly, or perhaps not, it was the 
only song the whole night I didn't dance to. I just stood there watch Bill 
drum...

FYI, The Jerry Garcia issue of Rolling Stone hits the stands on Sept 5.

jeff

    
    Buffett was so awesome Saturday night I'm having troubles dealing with
    reality today.  Billy had a beard and looked like he was enjoying the
    tropical atmosphere.  The crowd was wild.  
    
    Saw a fruit fight in the parking lot...lot's o' oranges, lemons, limes
    flying through the air hitting many cars...saw one orange go right into
    a car that was on it's way in and splat the driver on the head. 
    Riotess day.
                          

I saw Bruce Hornsby on Sunday night.  That man can play the piano.  He played
several Dead tunes - Scarlet Begonias, I Know You Rider, and Iko.  There were
several places where he lapsed into Dead music.  I thought a couple of 
Deadheads in front of me were going to lose it when one of his more spacy
jams led into the Dark Star theme (along with a line or two of lyrics).  The
one teaser that gave me goosebumps what when he was winding down a quiet ballad
and at the end quietly sang "Goin' home, goin' home, by the waterside I will
rest my bones.  Listen to the river sing sweet songs to rock my soul." after
which he softly said "That was for my good friend."  That man can play the piano.

Can anybody tell me anything about Johnny D's in Sommerville?  I understand 
they serve food and drink and have some varied/interesting music.  Do they 
sell tickets?  First come/first served?  etc?

Jim

    
    Hi Jim -
      Jimmy D's is a good place to go. Parking is not bad for Cambridge 
      area and/or there's a T stop (Davis sq. that's close by).  It's
      a good size bar and a great place to see bands.
    
      Menu selection is pretty good, sandwiches, burgers, veggie burgers,
      etc.
    
      For the bands I've seen there you just pay at the door and find
      a table.  Like always best selection early on.
    
      Did you hear of someone good coming there?    Maybe they have
      a web page.
    
      Cath
    
      
      
      

    Johnny D's is a pretty nice place actually...  right near the
    Somerville theatre in, ahhh, Davis? Sq...
    
    iv'e been to a couple of shows there...  they do have a mailing list
    telling upcoming events over a 6 week period...  i think, but i'm not
    certain, that they do sell advance tickets for some shows, but i have
    always bought them at the door on a first-come basis...
    
    the food is pretty good...  some really healthful stuff...  veggie
    meals as well as "normal" pub-type fare...  they also support
    organizations like adopt-a-greyhound and stuff like that...  it seems
    to be run by some pretty kind-minded folks...
    
    they have a couple of nights (or at least HAD) that seem deadicated to
    specific forms of music... ie monday was cajun dancing night... 
    ttuesdays were singer-songwriter nights etc...  doesn't seem to be the
    case as much anymore but it's been a  while since i've been there and 
    as such, i think i've been dropped from thier mailing list... :^/
    
    they do draw a lot of up-and-coming type acts... some local, some
    regional, a few national...  Peter Rowan tends to get int htere when
    he's in the neighborhood and always draws a crowd...
    
    definitely a bar/nightclub more than a restaurant, but good food, a
    nice place, and if you're going to the boston area to see a show, it's
    as good as any...

    Luther Guitar Johnson will be at the White Horse Inn in Milford NH
    on 2/24!  
    
    

Luna is the opening act for Lou Reed.  Anybody heard of Luna?
I think we may plan on skipping the opening act on this one.

Jim

	my daughter's friend (knowing i like the dead) gave me two luna
	cd's to listen to. they're not bad. imo, unpolished, but their
	stuff appeared original and was lyrically ok. inoffensive  ;-)
	
	now, who's got my extra for lou reed???   ;-)
	

    Jim,
    
    Don't miss Luna! They're one of the better new acts around
    right now. Their "Penthouse" and "Bewitched" CDs spend a lot 
    of time in my CD player. Stylistically, their roots are in
    later Velvet Underground/early Lou Reed material, and late,
    ex-Velvet Sterling Morrison plays on their "Penthouse" CD.
    
    I'll leave it to Mr. Hapgood to explain Luna's roots;-).
    
    Mike
    

re:  LUNA

Go see Luna :)

They are currently one of my favorite bands.  I was plugging them earlier in 
this same note/string.   Course that's no reason to go see them - but I think
you'd be crazy not too especially if you like old VU and Lou Reed.

They are sort of mellow, guitar oriented.  Start off slow and work into 
a nice jam.  Big fans of Lou Reed/VU.

The guitar player (Dean Wareham) is from Galaxy 500.  The drummer (Stan Demeski)
is EX feelies and I've forgotten where the bass player came from....They've
recently added a second guitarist as well.

bob

Hey Mike,  you beat me to it...

bob

    
    Saw BB King last nite in Keene NH. The dude was 70 late last year..he 
    says "1995 was good to me ... '96 looks like a good one too".  What an 
    attitude - what a showman.  He stills puts  on a great show.  Something 
    about this big old guy playing screaming blues on a shiny black guitar 
    named Lucille - you can't beat it.  He mugs it up and vamps to the
    crowd and all around has a wonderful time - bringing us along with him.
    When he sings/talks about being a bluesman and how it was to start 
    playing the blues when he was 10 yrs old - you can just hear dust and 
    heat in his voice.  BB, my_man.

Ok, i know the Cowboy Junkies are going to be around the Boston area

I think at the Orph - not sure if one or 2 dates or 1.
  I think someone (Danielle) posted it in the music happ'nin note)...

bobo

    I believe it's 4/19.  Are these guys any good?

    with a name like cowboy junkies, you can imagine what they sound
    like....cowboys on junk. %^) actually, I amaze myself by liking,
    somewhat, cowboy junkies. Most of their songs are real slow, melodic
    types, no jammin, if i rememebr correctly.
     They covered Lou Reed's Sweet Jane ina really
    slow melodic style....now, it's not natille merchant, she was with New
    Bohemians, so who *IS* the chick singer for Junkies???

    Cowboy Junkies do one of my favorite Sweet Janes! Ya they are
     good!  I think I'll try to snag a ticket.

	this weekend?

did not go to either show myself, but earlier today
i saw reviews on both...

the Lou Reed review i read wasn't all that flattering...

the Bela show review was a rave...  :^)

			da ve

       Steve-o Martin and myself went to the Bela show.....The Flecktone
    experience is not to be missed....These guys are very good, especially
    Victor Wooten, the bass player....the highlite for me was when Bela
    and Victor played matching classical pieces on their respective
    instruments....interesting crowd, too.....many deadhead types and also
    people dressed in suits ...a good time was had by one and all....

HOT ronnie show last Fri at Jhonny D's.
i went to Bay networks to pick up slash... ah, but hadda
have 3-4 brews off the BAY keg before heading to slommerville.
got to the club @7, decided to go in and eat, and stake out our
ground.  wrapped with bruce katz a bit and a couple of others.
rumors were flying around about special guests.

after about 4-5 songs, ronnie brings up Warren Haines!!!
of ABB fame!

he played one crankin' tune, and a second slower tune dedicated
to dwain allman.  warren was featured on that.  excellent playing
on his part, especially since he didn't even know the song.  warren
definitely has the bluez feelingh in his music and expressions.
excellent treat to see at Johnny D's.

then david "flathead" newman came on up an played his
sax for a while...

good night of music, and worth it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    holy mother of god!  :-)  

    JC-
    
    	EXCELLENT!!!  I went to Mama Kin Friday night to see Government
    Mule (Warren Haines' side band).  He smokes!!!!  Oh my god, his 
    guitar playing and slide work was amazing.  His bass player is this 
    huge Harley-type guy with strangly hair and he's also awesome 
    (he also fit in perfectly).  They played a very long set and everyone
    seemed to be having a great time.  There were probably 10-15 people
    taping in the crowd.  He must have stopped to Johnny D's before or
    after the show.
                     
    /d

    Mule's bassist is Allen Woody, also from the Allmans
    

Yep, he played before the mama kin show.
i actually went up to warren, shook his hand, an
shot the bull w/ him for a few mins.  heavy southern
accent that boy has.

and yeah, you are right on about his slide work.
that slow song i mentioned -- Skyman -- ronnie dedicates
to dwaine allman... warren played some bittersweet slide
on that... sends chills down my arm thinking about it, in
fact, this am, i hadda listen to that song off the new ronnie
cd... the warren haines/ronnie version is much better!!

Damn, I forgot about the Government Mule show!  I wanted to go.  I was out
of town anyway, so I guess it doesn't matter (anyway :-)).

Tonight, I'm going to see Rick Derringer and Johnny Winter at Lupo's in
Providence.  That should be a hot, loud show!

adam

    a friend of mine saw Johnny Winter a couple of years ago, after he had
    cleaned up. Said although the show was GOOD, JW is considrably more
    laid back than when he was on reds in the earlyer days...

Electronic Telegraph: 
Old rockers get ready to roll over for Prince's Trust 
By Tom Leonard 

THE dust was brushed off some of the oldest reputations in rock music
yesterday as Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton and The Who were named as main
attractions at a massive charity concert in Hyde Park this summer.

The organisers of Masters of Rock hope to attract 150,000 people, making
it one of the biggest rock concerts and the first in the royal park for
20 years. The concert on June 29, which is in aid of the Prince's Trust,
will also feature the first live performance of The Who's rock opera,
Quadrophenia, by an ensemble of 20 musicians. 

Among them will be three of the band's founding members, their decision
to play together ending years of bickering. The band's drummer will be
Zak Starkey, son of Ringo Starr. 

Roger Daltrey, who as The Who's former lead singer once helped set new
standards of on-stage bad behaviour, said he was nervous about going
back on stage again. "It's a bit like going to the dentist. It's good
once you've done it," he told a news conference.

Pete Townshend, the band's guitarist, described the concert as "a chance
to do something more adventurous than strum on my own". He rejected
suggestions that the event was aimed at cashing in on the popularity of
the current wave of British rock bands such as Oasis, Blur and Pulp. "It
is not trying to capitalise on what other young bands are doing. We are
not trying to compete," he said.

Praising the work of the Prince's Trust, he added: "I met a group of
kids in Covent Garden the other day who were musicians. And one of them
said 'We are in a band and we are trying to do melodies'. I asked how
they got going and they said they got a grant from the Prince's Trust."

The concert is expected to be the biggest one-day event since the 1978
concert at Blackbushe, near Sandhurst, Berkshire, at which Clapton and
Dylan both performed. It will be the main event of this year's National
Music Festival and is timed to coincide with the eve of the final in
Britain of the Euro '96 football championships.

Organisers said other star names would not be revealed before they
stepped on stage, although they will certainly include Alanis
Morissette. "I won't tell you their names in case they fail to appear,"
said Mr Townshend. Tickets, at UKP8, go on sale from Friday.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Times On-line: Hyde Park's Rock of Ages

BOB DYLAN, Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend are to star in one of
the biggest rock spectaculars staged in Britain (Dalya Alberge writes). 

More than 150,000 people are expected to descend on Hyde Park,
London, on June 29, for the MasterCard Masters of Music Concert,
which will be televised live worldwide. Organisers believe it is the
second largest one-day rock event after the 1978 Blackbushe concert in
Hampshire. It will be the first rock show in Hyde Park since 1976, and
is timed to coincide with the final of the Euro 96 football
championship. 

John Entwistle, bass player with the Who, will join Daltrey and
Townshend and 20 other musicians to perform the rock opera
Quadrophenia. Townshend told a news conference at the Dorchester
hotel in London: "It is a very exciting moment. I don't feel I could
have done it on my own, without the founder members of the Who." Zak
Starkey, son of the former Beatles drummer Ringo Starr, will perform
with the Who. 

Daltrey admitted that he was nervous: "It's a bit like looking forward
to going to the dentist - it's good once you've done it." The concert
will be in aid of the Prince's Trust.

I digress here re: Keith Lockhart...every time I've seen him on tv, I've been
Most impressed by him..Obviously he's one mucho talented musician, but I really
dig his enthusiasm about music, and his efforts to get kids interested/involved
in classical music...his own musical taste seems to be quite diverse as well,
and he never comes off as a stuffy classical dood...

I saw a speech he gave to I Think the National Press Club, or some such body,
but he was relating a story about his days at the conservatory...and when some
of his professors found out he was playing in a lounge/gb band, they were
appalled...but he was a starving student like any student, and he played that
music to make some $$$...I appreciate his candor, his approach, and obviously
his music...I think/hope he'll be the Arthur Fielder of our generation, and I 
hope he's in Boston for many years...

WO

  I've been hearing raves about Wynton Marsalis's music clinics for kids (up
  to college age musicians), in which he connects up classical, jazz, blues,
  and pop...  People are saying he's the Leonard Bernstein of today (anyone
  remember the young persons' concerts, where he related blues, jazz, and
  Beatles songs to classical music & literature...?)
  
  You can never have too many of guys like these, who both recognize and can
  articulate musical connections...  So I'm glad to hear about Lockhart.
    - Jay

We've taken the kids (ages 8 and 6) to two of the BSO's Youth Concerts,
both conducted by Lockhart, and they were both very enjoyable...he is
very loose on stage, and captures the attention of the audience very
well when explaining what they are about to play.  Now if only we didn't
get seats in the nose-bleed zone... :-)

Didn't PBS do a series with Marsalis just recently?  I didn't see it...
but I thought it was supposed to be based on one of his seminars.

Dan

> Didn't PBS do a series with Marsalis just recently?  I didn't see it...
> but I thought it was supposed to be based on one of his seminars.

  Yes, but I missed it too.  Found out about it after the fact from my
  (jazz-fan) parents.
  

  Saw the "sensitive new-age guy" reference in a different string...  I just
  heard the "Sensitive New Age Guys" song for the first time - Hilarious!

  (It's included on a Dr. Demento 25th anniversary box put out by Rhino.  By
  Christine Lavin, of all people?)

  Like the way the song uses "who plays in the Kingdome" as a SNAG litmus
  test...   - JayC.

I saw a couple of the Marsalis PBS shows.  They covered lots of territory 
from blues to jazz to classical - great stuff.  There was also a lot of 
presentation on musical structure and other technical stuff.  Seggi Ozowa 
(I know that is spelled wrong) conducted the Tanglewood youth orchestra to 
demonstrate what Marsalis was presenting (and I think he played his horn).

Here's an interesting little ditty from our roving folk reporter TMS when 
asked by Scott Abbot just what happened the other night at the Michelle
Shocked performance in Portsmouth, NH:

Date: Fri, 31 May 1996 09:36:06 -0400
 From: Tom Spine <[email protected]>
To: [email protected]
Cc: [email protected]

> Meri heard that Michelle Shocked walked off stage in Portsmouth,
> something about the audience not being "diverse enough"?  What
> happened?

Yes, it was all quite strange.

The concert started fairly normally shortly after 8pm.  Michelle and 
some guy from the Hothouse Flowers...he's got an Irish name that I 
don't recall at the moment.  They started by singing maybe three tunes 
from the Kind Hearted Woman CD, and the first two (at least) were very 
very well done.  Michelle was singing with the intensity that I've seen 
in previous shows.

But, I dunno, sometime during the first set I noticed that she really 
wasn't singing anymore.  Oh, sure, she was singing...but she wasn't 
*singing*.  You know, it was almost like she was reciting the lyrics, 
particularly on the sweeter, more sentimental songs like Anchorage.  
But even Graffitti Limbo was done half-heartedly.

At one point between songs in the first set she said that the 
Portsmouth Music Hall would not have been her choice of a place to 
play. She was playing in bars and clubs, and the music hall was too 
"hoity-toity" for her -- that was exactly her words.  Well, this 
clearly made the audience feel a bit uncomfortable and alienated from 
Michelle.

She also continually had troubles with the sound, even though it 
sounded fine to us in the hall.  The poor stage soundman spent almost 
as much time on the stage as the performers!  Between songs, during 
songs...Michelle kept having him do this and that.  And she complained 
to the audience that her monitor sound made her sound like she was 
"under water" and she ridiculed the puny size of the stage monitors.

While she wasn't hassling the soundman, she spent a lot of time between 
songs deep in intense conversation with her sidekick.  And it seemed 
like a one-sided conversation too...Michelle doing all the talking.

So, she wasn't exactly setting us on fire!  The audience was polite, 
and actually very enthusiastic for some of the better known favorites.

The first set came and went, and the second set pretty much went along 
the same lines as the first set.

Oh, at some point she went into her tirade against her record company. 
It appears that she wanted to go electric and they wanted her to 
continue her acoustic ways and she basically threw a shit-fit.  She 
said that after they suggested that she continue with her acoustic 
sound she put away her acoustic guitar and hasn't touched it since.

It was probably a little after 10pm or so when she made the rambling 
"diversity" statement.  It's hard to piece together all that she said 
(I remembering thinking about you at this point, wishing you were there 
with your tape recorder!), but she was clearly unhappy playing in front 
of an all-white audience who by-and-large were sitting in their seats 
in this opera-house-like venue.  Then she went off on this southern 
black baptist church tangent, indicating that she had joined it because 
the congregation was such an important part of the service.  By now the 
audience is growing even more alienated.

So she played I think two or three more songs at this point, these 
being from the limited edition (2K copies were made) CD that she was 
selling at the shows.  It's called "Artists Make Lousy Slaves" and I 
bought one (numbered 1782 or there abouts) at the intermission...but I 
haven't brought myself to play it yet...not after what happened next...

So she played these new songs, and the thing I noticed during these was 
that the volume went WAY UP.  There was little in the way of lyrics, it 
was mostly her and her sidekick doing rock/blues guitar jams.  Decent, 
but, well, not exactly what the audience was expecting or wanting.  We 
were polite.

So she finishes a song, looks at her watch and says it's 10:30 and she 
was told she had an 11pm curfew.  And she looks down at her set list 
and tells us there's two more songs on the setlist, but that she has 
lots of songs she could do...  And then she just out-and-out breaks 
down.  She breaks into tears and tells us that "this place feels dead 
to me" and that she has basically been going through the motions song 
after song, hoping that something would make her feel alive at some 
point, but that it hasn't happened.

Crying all the time, she tells us that she's been a professional and 
that she's done her job by playing lots of songs for us...all the while 
subtley blaming the venue and the audience for not being what she 
wanted.  And there was also some statement in there about "believe me, 
I'm not getting paid enough for doing this."

So she rambled and cried and rambled for about five minutes.  The 
people in the audience seemed to have one of three reactions...

Some were simply pissed.  These people started leaving as soon as they 
realized that Michelle was losing it.

Some didn't get it.  They started shouting out songs for her to play, 
as if she would hear a suggested song and snap out of it.

Patti and I were in the third camp -- the stunned silence camp!  I've 
never seen anything like this happen before.  I've seen Michell before, 
and her performance a couple of years ago at Sanders Theater ranks up 
in my all-time best concerts list.  This was just too weird.  I felt 
sorry for her, more than anything else.

Somewhere toward the end of this rambling about a quarter of the 
audience (or what remained of it) got up on their feet and started a 
polite applause.  I think it was really the best way of us telling her 
to call it a night and leave the stage, which she did.  The house 
lights came on immediately.  The audience filed out of the hall in 
shock, with lots of quiet "what the hell just happened?" conversations 
going on.

I'm sorry I went to the concert.  It's been probably three or more 
years since I've seen her, and had really good memories of previous 
concerts and really high expectations for this one.  It will be 
difficult to ever see her again, or to even play her music without 
thinking about this night...

--Tom

    
    I'm not familiar with M.S.
    
    What songs does she play?
    
    Sounds like she was having a bad trip!

    her first adn only album I'm familiar with was called 
    "Short, Sharp, Shocked" and had a picture of, I'm told, her being
    manhandled by a cop. Grafitti Limbo, Anchorage, The L4M Don't STop Here
    ANymore, and the best song, If Love Was A Train are some off this
    album. Very Good, IMO. Very Political, Social conscience type. I always
    liked her and always wanted to she her live ..
    sorry to here she's went off the deep end at that show...we all have
    bad days...%^)
    
    
    rfb

    
    >"Short, Sharp, Shocked" and had a picture of, I'm told, her being
    
    Hummmm.  If I recall that's a quote from a Pink Floyd sample on 
    Dark Side of the Moon.  She must be cool, but if I were in an audience
    and was told "we weren't diverse enough" I'd be hucking tomatoes at
    the stage.                  

    I can see yer point Deano, but come on...how many times did Bill Grahm 
    tell "us" , "you", "me" to
    "grow up" or "Do you always have to act like such assholes?"
    I have a real close friend that Bill G personally told to "Sit down and
    shut up"
    
    rfb

    rfb
    to sit there and be condescended and trivialized after shelling out
    scratch to pay this person's salary is a slap in the face
    i would have been handing deane the tomatoes if i was there

    to each his own....i've said what you said about Dylan...%^)
    
    rfb

    
    That was Bill Grahams job a promoter.   
    
    Also, it sounded as though the crowd was being polite, not unruley. 
    
    Glad Leblanc and I weren't there! ;-)
    
    When Jerry used to get t'd off, he'd simply turn around and play with the 
    equipment or cut the set short, go backstage, flare or something, then 
    come out and rip a raging 2nd set.
                                                 

>    When Jerry used to get t'd off, he'd simply turn around and play with the

Well, maybe, but usually, in my personal experience, he'd just do a shitty show.
I've seen one or two, back in the 80's.  The only thing more painful than
sitting through Brian Wilson's croaking was sitting through Jerry's.  I mean,
I couldn't really give a sh!t about Wilson, except as a historical figure of
sorts.

Obviously, there's a whole lot more going on in Ms. Shocked's life than what
showed up on stage that night.  Personally, I feel bad for her - it must be
a very embarassing moment for a performer to lose it right on stage like that.

It happens, though.

I'd say there's probably some very serious sh!t going on with her that just
isn't quite so obvious as her terrible stage presence.  The thing about paying
for and attending a live performance of any kind is that you as the audience
take a chance along with the performer(s) that the experience will be something
special...and there are a million definitions for the word 'special'.

It's not like going to a restaurant and getting bad food.  You have no 
entitlement.  Yeah, I would have been pissed for wasting the time and money,
but I think I also would have really wondered what on earth could be so
shattering as to make a seasoned professional disintegrate on stage.

tim

I wasn't there, but it sounds to me from tms's description than M.S. was
embarrassed that the audience was mostly (or all) white.  I think thats
what she meant by diversity.

 - Josh

    She was also playing in Portsmouth NH
    NH..a state that is 1% black and not exactly known for its
    encouragement of interracial mingling
    
    
    UNH was a school pf 10k people with an African American enrollment of
    less than a hundred...
    She wasn't playing in Queens

    She's a racist.

    re:
    She's a racist.
    
    If you know anything about M. Shocked , you know she's anything BuT a
    racists...she's a feminist.
    

    
    Then why would she be offended by the appearance of the audience?
    
    I have nothing against feminists, but I don't approve of racism
    forward, or reverse.

    from the sounds of it, she was having a bad day/nite all the way
    around. BTW, she's white, making it , in my feeble mind, hard to be a 
    racist when you are white and you complain about a lack of diversity
    when everyone around you is white. 
    
    rfb

	from the sounds of it, she was having a breakdown...

	fwiw, one of my favorite Michelle Shocked tunes is 
	"When I Grow Up I Want to Be an Old Woman" (am I thinking
	of the right person?)

    yes! that's a killer song!

I noticed a little snippet in today's Boston Globe (while waiting
at the sub shop) that The Who would be playing MSG in NY next
month...four or five nights of Quadrophenia.  I think it mentioned
both Dylan and Clapton as guests, too.

So do they have Phish to thank for this resurgence of interest? :-)

Dan

    piss poor state of affairs when interest in the who has to be stewed up
    by those clowns

Here's the text of the article (from www.boston.com/globe):

    You better you bet they're back

    The Who, who are reuniting to play some gigs in London with Bob
    Dylan and Eric Clapton this month, are then heading for New York.
    The dates are uncertain but it is known that Pete Townshend, John
    Entwistle and Roger Daltrey, joined by Zack Starr (Ringo's son) on
    drums, will perform ``Quadrophenia'' for five nights at Madison
    Square Garden next month.

Dan

	I had the impression that Dylan would be joining them in London,
	but that he will be staying there this summer to do his own
	tour throughout Europe...

	Debess

Yes, Dylan is NOT coming to MSG to play with the Who - big-time misread there!

    but Trey is!

    we are there Tom!

    resistance is futile!  you will be assimilated!

    
    Anybody else heading down to GW tomorrow to see DMB?

    Anyone ever seen the band "Rippopotamus"?
                                                          
    Their name such a riot, I wish to check em out.

    Has anyone heard if Tom Constantin's band Lazy Lightninhg is playing 
    any where local?  They are playing in Portland sometime in the
    next couple of weeks (I think on the 30th) and was looking for 
    other possible local dates.
    
    Thanks

    re - Lazy Lightning
    
    Wow!  I hadn't heard anything about this.  Have you heard them
    before?  Are they good?

Ginny??? as in big-smile, used-to-work-in-hlo-security,

    I don't know anything about the band except that a friend of 
    ours from Maine called to see if we had heard of any dates
    other than the Portland one.  Did a search on AltaVista but
    didn't come up with anything.

        rightous! i very well could be there. i'm wondering if they'll

      slopes with the mtb in the morning, ska-fest in the afternoon...

I'm not a big SKA fan.  I mean it's ok and I can listen to it for say an
albums worth .....but if they intersperse it with Reggae it would be nice...

re:  Itals

I think I saw them at the Western Front - they were good.

re:  camping....

sounds nice....

ps.  I went to a reggae fest at loon about 3 years ago w/ Jimmy Cliff, 
Majek Fashek and a few other good bands...lots of fun and no, they weren't
running the lifts.  BUT that was before they had this ph ush to be a summer
time mountain as well.

    I'm pretty sure I had fun Friday night

	tell us about it Tom - how was it down front?!?

	(I'm pretty sure I had a good time too!!!)

	The Allman Bros. did an instrumental _Franklin's Tower_ into
	their joyful _Blue Sky_ back into _Franklin's_, with a picture
	of an eagle soaring on the screen in back of them.
	There was also a definate _Other One_ jam in that 2 or 3 hours
	of bluesy spacey music.

	Debess

    
    yeah how about a report from the privileged 2 grateful noters who were
    backstage? and you know who you are.....
    
    
    probably snacking on beluga caviar and having dom while us plebes
    sat out on the lawn, got our asses wet, drank $5 bud and ate $4
    pretzels.........
    :^)

    HEY !   Who was that in the back NEWAY?

     Jeff Ceparski got a backstage pass given to him by Danielle. I think
     Mr.Rehill may of been part of that exclusive back stage thang too.
    
     It was a grate show!  Trippy music for sure, long songs, and even
     a drum session. Much more like a dead show experience than the
     Further Fest -- of course that could of had something to do with
     the friends I was with.  Really nice to get a large dechead music
     scene/gathering going -- *especially nice* that Mark Nelson joined
     us tooo...
                   
     Sloan

>     Jeff Ceparski got a backstage pass given to him by Daniel. I think

    This I have to hear about!  Pardon my ignorance but who's Daniel?

    Up front was excellent!  (4th row center).  I've had a run of good
    luck on tickets and am getting spoiled.  How do you improve on this
    experience?  I can't see a way.  I'm ready for my next show.  AB
    tunes have been cycling endlessly through my head all day today
    (at least something's cycling thru up there!).  Anyway these guys
    COOK and that's the name of that tune.  COOK COOK COOK!!  RAGE!!

    No "Elizabeth Reed" and I'm getting tired of Freebird, oops Whippin'
    Post.  No encore 'cause they took no breaks and ended about 7 minutes
    before 11.  Ramblin Man was grate, "Dreams" (a personal fave since
    it appeared on my Molly Hatchet record), Blue Skies of course, many
    many others, endless good music, well I had to sit down a few times
    to rest up!  

    I gotta say, as a Dead-deprived rock fan all those years, I never
    understood the lot scene. Well now thanks to all you grate folks I
    am starting to catch on.  Man oh man.  Subdued as it was I can only
    imagine a freewheelin' scene.  (Wasn't at Highgate but you tried
    didn't you Wes!).  The rain and the fact that I wanted to see GSW
    (which I enjoyed) sent me into the venue at 6:30 (a halfhour later
    than I would have if someone hadn't taught me how to tell time!).
    Otherwise I would have quite enjoyed hanging out FURTHER.  Somehow
    there's never enough time to talk all the talk to all the folks I
    wanted to. (I guess it's time for another party!  Someone!!)  But
    it was great and Jeff even let me stand under his bumbershoot!
    
    Got a nice close look at the Crowes during Southbound (they played
    Gardner the night before).  Nice to see the generational baton
    being handed off, as it were.  Everyone seemed to have fun.

    Hard to imagine that I've been listening to "Fillmore East" lo
    all these years and then in 1996 I'm hearing Statesboro Blues
    live and in person.  I get a real kick out of that.  (sign of age??)
    (Why, when I was a lad we used to have to put this needle on this
    round thing, see, and...)

    Being the sentimental sort I really love "No one left to run with"
    and the photos they flash up on the screen behind them.  Was Lennon
    in the mix this time?  I seem to have missed him.  But when Jer
    goes up there you can feel the rush...

    Thanks to Leblancc Deaneo and all the rest who have helped make these
    shows such a fun time for me.  It's a real blast.  Damn I miss the dead.
    And for someone who only saw one show I can only imagine how you vets
    feel.    

    Tom    

    Oh, Danielle  Finally got to meetcha.  Thanks for saying hi!
            ____.

	That Sound!

	this weekend I experienced That Sound - that hitting the high
	notes in a crisp, clear manner - That Sound that reminds me
	of Jerry and feels so good inside!

	the first one to get to me with That Sound was Dickey Betts -
	heard him playing all night and it wasn't until "Franklin's
	Tower" where it hit home...so very, very nice to hear that
	song with someone making That Sound.

	went to see Bruce Mandaro at the White Horse on Saturday -
	he was with his "other" band - not Slipknot - 4 musicians,
	different configurations for different parts of the show,
	sometimes keyboard/bass/lead/drums, sometimes acoustic rhythm
	guitar/bass/mandolin/drums, sometimes something else ;-)
	They played "Eyes", with Bruce on mandolin - and, man, if
	he didn't approach That Sound, with a completely different
	instrument.  Nice!

	ahhhhhhhhh...good weekend for some real good dancing!

	Debess

Who else heard shades of "Cold Rain and Snow" about halfway through the ABB
show?  This was when they had, on the screen, what looked like a stealie
with the skull part carved out and replaced with trees and grass (on the
right side) and a vague characature of Jerry (on the left side).  Dickey
was playing like Jerry, too (swirling series of notes in that syncopated
Jerry style).  Tough to explain, but I heard it.  I also thought I saw
"JGL" for a short time on the lower right corner of the screen (Jerry G.
Lives).

Tell me about this part there Tom!

I was at the Black Crowes the night before.  I never miss a chance to see
them.  It was an AWESOME night at a great little venue, The Polish American
Beach Club.  Right on a lake out side of Gardner...beach sand and sunshine.
Probably about 1000 to 1500 people too (sold out).

So tell me more!

Seems since we've had Sam, I can only manage to swing out on worknights....
Would have LOVED to see ABB. and I can agree with you on Whippin' Post - 
used to be it was ALWAYS the encore and I always booked when I heard it
coming :)

there was a review of this BC show in the Boston Globe, either the Friday
or Sat. paper.

One of the ABB (Dickey, or Warren, or Greg) said something like "we're gonna
have a jam" and then the BC's came out onstage. I don't know any of their
names, but it was the 2 guitarists, the singer, and the kb player.
One guitarists (the one with his hair parted in the middle like James Gurley
:-)  was between Dickey and the Allmans bass player (spacing on his name)
and had his one (large) guitar amp/speakers wheeled out.  the other guitarist
was between Warren and the keyboards, and I think he plugged into Warren's
amps.  Greg sat at his organ facing the audience and the BC keyboardist 
sat to Greg's left, at Greg's other kb.

The BC guitarist by Dickey played a great solo in Whipping post, after which
Dickie walked over to him and playfully pushed him on the shoulder as a way
of sayin' "hot solo!" - everyone really seemed to be having fun onstage
together.

Yep, this ABB show was a little better than the one a few weeks ago.
The sound was a bit better, too - more bass.  And we got a nice Midnight
Rider.

    Friday night's ABB was cool! Thank you Danielle(!) - I know she's no
    longer a noter but she can feel the thank you vibes. She called me here
    at work friday afternoon to see if I wanted to go see the ABB. I said
    "Well, I saw them a few weeks ago and I don't really want to spend $25
    to stand out in the rain tonight." Her reply - "You don't need to, I
    have free tickets and backstage passes!" We're there!
    	We ended up with 9th row center tix and went backstage after the
    GSW set. Pretty cool to see how the rich and famous live back there!
    Drinking free Hieneken's, eating free banquet foods and shmoozing with
    the fellas in GSW while kicking back on the couch. Danielle's friends
    with most of GSW. We hung out back there for the middle part of the
    Allman's set. Speakers are hooked up in the lounges back there so you
    can hear the show. Got to cruise around and check out the tour busses
    and stuff. Never did get to meet any of the Allman Bros. We went back
    out front to catch the last 3-4 tunes and by the time we headed back to
    the backstage area again they were swamped with admirers and autograph
    seekers. Hung out a bit with GSW and then headed home. Pretty cool to
    be walking around with a band member and snubbing security (especially
    at Gratewoods) when the band-dude says "They're with me" and we duck
    backstage!
    	First time I ever even heard GSW - I thought they were pretty good.
    I'd go see 'em again - especially since we're buddies now ;^)
    The ABB - there's not much more to say than what's already been said -
    they rip!  
    	Good to see everyone up on the lawn for awhile - nice to finally
    meet you Debess!

    Josh's nailed it.  But I think it was "Southbound".. about 2 or 
    3 or 4 songs from the end of the show.  Gee I wonder if anyone
    taped this show.  I'm wondering now if the bands met during HORDE	
    or how.  Anyway they did rage.  The stage was sure full of guitarists!

    ps good goin Jeff!  You were right behind me, should wailed
    an empty cup at me so I could say hi!

    Anyway Bob, we got Mr. Runtgrin to look fwd to, eh???  Hampton
    Beach here we come!!

    I saw the Gregg Allman band play with the Dickey Betts Band at the
    Gardnder Polish American Club around '87 or so.  I was on a two-day
    gooney bird binge and hadn't slept a wink when we left Worcester early
    in the morning because it was a general admission show.  We stopped at
    a convenience store and I went in to get a soda.  The woman at the
    counter had applied her makeup with a trowel and it was slowly sliding
    down her face, gathering at her chin, and plopping to the floor in big
    chunks.  I got out of there in a hurry.
    
    We made it to the P-A Club and almost no one was there and the crew was
    playing softball.  We waited and waited with just a few fistfights
    between bikers for entertainment.  Finally they let us in and we
    endured a couple of mediocre opening acts until the big tour busses
    rolled in.  It wasn't crowded and I made my way to the front of the
    stage near Gregg.  I could've stuck my head in his Leslie speaker as
    they launched into Don't Want You No More/It's Not My Cross To Bear.

    Same band as last year, I think. "The Individualist" hadn't
    been released stateside but now it has.  Might vary the song
    selection a bit.  Todd and another guitarist (Jesse Gress), 
    keyboard guy (John Ferenzik), Prairie Prince on drums, Larry
    Tagg on bass, I think.  Definite ROCK emphasis.  Few or no
    acoustic numbers.

I was hoping you'd say "same as last year's" since I missed it and heard ALL

    To be precise...there were two Black Crow's Amplifiers. One came out
    early in the night. After Greg played the accoustic on Midnite Rider,
    they wheeled his amp away, and replaced with with a Marshal speaker
    cab, and a Randall head unit. They also set up a Marshal cab, and head
    unit on the right of the stage, behind the bass amps of Allen Woody.
    
    They spent the entire show working on a Marshal Head unit, and replaced
    the Randall with the Marshal just before the Crows took the stage.
    
    The Black Crows drummer took over Jaimoe's drum kit, and he hit a few
    of Mark Quinones(sp?) rhythm blocks.
    
    The crew also changed Mark's bongos early in the night, and swapped out
    three different head units on Dickie Bett's left most Amp. 
    
    The life of a rock and roll star. Dickie would light up a cig, take a
    drag,and put it out...He did it all night long..one drag, and away...
    
    

    Please post more info about the Lowell Folk festival... anyone..
    like where/when?  I'm unfamiliar with Lowell.  It's both days,
    right?  A pointer would be fine, thanks!

Smoker's rationalization.  Tar and nicotine accumulate and increase over
the course of a cigarette.  The first drag is the lowest - the last is the
highest...  Maybe he's trying to quit...that's one method I would (and did)
use...it reduces your dependence and your risk...but only minimally.

|    Costly method of weaning yourself of butts tho tim

Depends.  Could be cheaper than most clinical methods - you know, patches
or gum or such.   Besides, it's the actual physical habit that's part of
the problem, so smoking less reduces the habit too...

I gradually detoxed myself - only smoked a little bit of each butt.  I
avoided things that triggered the urge - like booze.  I forced myself into
situations where I couldn's smoke - this was before smoke-free work
environments, but we did have non-smoking areas of the office, so I asked
for one.  I'm eternally grateful to Judy Hall, the senior engineer and
militant non-smoker in the cubicle next to mine from 1983-1985...she kept
me honest.

The LFF is in downtown Lowell, held on about 5 or 6 stages at various
sized venues.

Tomorrow's Globe Calender section be all about it - maps, times, performers,
schedules.

Friday night is the evening concert at South Common, a big football field.
Big stage. big blankets/lawnchair scene!   Runs from about 7 PM - 11, 11:30 PM.
Usually about 4 acts.  

Sat., 12:00 - about 5:30/6, all over downtown lowell.  The acts play musical
stages. So you can catch, say, Marcia Ball's sets by running around from
stage to stage.  This is great for taping, cause then I can tape in various
venues.  All music is free!
around 6 Pm there's a Mardi-Gras type brass-band parade from JFK plaza to
South Common.  I take this time to get some tasty take-out from the
SouthEast Asian, then I hoof it over to South Common, grab a spot, and set
up :-).
Sat. eve, around 7 - 11:30, another evening concert. Whoever didn't play Friday
night will be on tonight.

Sunday - LFF runs from 12:00 to about 6 PM.  No evening concert.

There are _lots_ of ethic food venders, set up in 4 places.

I bring a small knapsack with water bottle, sunscreen, hat, small
towel/blankie/something to sit on, light rain jacket (it always seems to pour
at one point during the LFF!).  Plus I'll have my tape gear of course!

The LFF is huge -biggest folk fest in the country, counting total attendence
over the 3 days, but is pretty managable cause it spread out over 5/6 stages,
and Lowell's been doing it for like 7 or 8 years and they really have
their shit together.

I park in a free lot at a shopping center thats about 1/2 between the downtown
stages, and South Common.  I'll be going all Friday night, all day/night Sat,
and all day Sunday!   Anyone interested in coming along, meet me at my 
place before I head out.  (I'm an easy 1/3 mile from 495) 6:30 Friday night, 
about 11:00 AM Sat/Sunday.  Tom - come on over!

    Thanks Josh!

Went to the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival (in sunny Hillsdale, NY) this
weekend...it was wonderful!  After setting up our tents etc. in a nearby
campground we drove to the festival site Friday evening, as the rain was
clearing out, and were treated to an awesome double rainbow arcing over
the stage, from hillside to hillside...what a good omen, eh?

The music was super...saw the Nields, whom I have been hearing on the
radio...they were great, but for the life of me I couldn't figure out
what they were doing at a folk festival, as they *ROCK*...it turns out
the two Nield sisters started out in folk, and they just keep coming
back to this festival every year.  They must be getting popular...they
had a taper show up, the only one I saw all weekend.

Saw a great rhythm band, too...the New Nile Orchestra, doing East
African dance/vocal traditions...it definitely got the toes tapping.

    If anyone is teetering on the fence about whether to catch EWB at
    Sharkey's in Nashua, it may help to know that Thursday is "dollar
    night" there.  Any mixed drink or beer for a buck.  They have Newcastle
    Brown Ale on tap, notably.
    
    Cheers,
    Chuck

    
    ...and if you teeter over to SHARKY'S tonight, teeter over to
    the drummer boy and say Hi. (this offer not eligible for LeBlanc_C)

    the best live 3-hour-straight performances ever in the gym at the state
    u so take it FWIW
    
    anyone up?

    Had a GRATE time Friday night at the Jerry gig.  I liked Jiggle
    the Handle a lot but Slipknot still takes the cake.  The opening
    act, an acoustic trio consisting of Bruce Mandaro, the guitarist
    from Jiggle, and ? was way cool as well.  Nice song selection.
    Heavy on the Dead stuff.  The crowd was very enthusiastic. God
    was it packed!  I almost passed out but hung in there!  (very
    hot and smokey).  We went for a break after Jiggle and were
    told "no re-entrance!" which was a rule change since folks were
    still waiting to get in.  

    Lotsa fun.  When can we do it again??

    Tom

    
    the other dude playing the axe was Charlie from Plan B
    
    nice guy...my buddy dougo chatted with him and i guess plan b
    may be getting back together in some new incarnation
    

    JIggle did an excellent Terrapin... I was impressed.  Starting
    to REALLy dig that song

	yeah, grate time!
	the acoustic set included a 
	Bird song>stella blue>other1 jam>bird song
	excellent!
	
	jiggle the handle did a lot of JGB songs
	they started their set with welcoming everyone to the all-jerry
	show. then they started playing rock around the clock, and
	stopped saying "ooops, wrong jerry!" and went into Don't Let Go,
	which was SMOkin'.
	
	a lot of  people got turned away from tht show. glad we got in.
	

HOT SHOW INDEED!

it raged!

we barely got in.
man did we pahty down... took a cab ride back to big joe's in Ahlington.
i'm still suffering...

awesome Terrapin!
Don't let go ripped.

btw, Jiggle *rarely* plays any of those songs.  in fact, all of them
were pretty much first-plays according to Joe who is a good friend of
Gary, the Jiggle ax mon.  i used to see gary and his various bands play
in Joe's living room!  gary was his roommie for a long time, always around
playing that guitar and singing a tune!!!

good time

	i wondered if jiggle the handle did shows like that.
	they're playing the main street brewery in whista, the 24th
	(slipknot is playing at the whitehorse).
	
	slipknot also did a very nice scarlet>st stephen
	
	many people got kicked out of that show too. i saw at least a
	dozen people get tossed.

bobo

>Rumors of Who Quadrophenia at Centrum Nov. 12, 14 and 15.

yeah, I read that too - it was in the Globe, either in the "Rocknotes"
column in last Friday's paper, or else in the "Names & Faces" column sometime

I'd love to go but I now have more excuses than Carter has little
liver pills :) (I have a baby yaddy yaddy yada!).

:)

Anyhow  Feb 1 at the Palace in Manch, New Hamp.  Ronnie Earl is 
headliner and opening acts are Monster Mike Welch and also some
woman who was a WC Handy nominee.  Here name might've been 
mumble Davis/Davies ?? 

just fyi,

moe. rocked the house this weekend !  two fun-filled shows at
a couple of cozy sold-out venues make for one fine weekend !

fryday night at the paradise rock club in boston:

one of the house speakers connected to the lighting caught fire
during the first set ... someone came out to douse the flame and
some fans up front got doused with the fire extinguisher kickback.
they weren't real happy about it !  

> we all know moe. puts on a pretty hot show, but when the speaker
> caught fire, they removed all doubt ... first thing i thought of
> was that hotel that caught fire a long time ago (in chicago ?)
> when the place was so packed that nobody could escape amidst the
> stampede to avoid the blaze ... feel kinda bad for those fans up
> front that were just close enough to drink in an eye-ball full
> of fire-extinguisher chemical by-product ... mmmmmmm, by-product
>
> by the time the show resumed, moe. cleverly segued into "fire"
> (hendrix cover) and Chuck subbed in the chorus "let me stand
> next to your speaker fire" ... hendrix might have played this
> version himself, in the days of torching his guitar !

saturday night at the iron horse music hall in northampton:

headed out to northampton with Dave Todd and room-mate Eric
without tickets, knowing the show was sold out ... waited in
line over an hour and made our way in !  well worth the wait -
moe. put on one of the finest shows i've seen ... their new
drummer was ON !  best performance i've seen by him so far !

Chuck, Rob and Al were pretty pumped up too !  the crowd response
in the iron horse was far better then the paradise - even though
the crowd was half the size !  we got up real close n cozy and
danced like crazy fools - back-to-back moe. shows make for one
tired morning

we got to hang out with the band afterwards, these guys are so
cool !  i asked Rob about his new bass, he went and grabbed it
and handed it over to me - never thought i'd get a chance to
jam on Rob Derhak's bass - very cool !  

if you haven't seen moe. live yet, go. just go. you will enjoy
one fine night of grate music, performed by some extremely
talented musicians, who also happen to be a grate bunch of guys !

armo

    Sounds like a great weekend of moe!  I really wanna see these guys	
    but had plans/tix for the Ice Cats friday nite, kid-duties sat.    
    There's always next time....  keep those posts coming!

    /Ken

	i'm real interested in checking out moe. too, armand...let us
	know when they're around here again

	Debess

    
    I thought MOE was pretty hip.  Very long extended jams.  Get lots of
    sleep the night before.  If I recall, the lead singer plays upright as
    well as regular bass.
    
    	

They were great when I saw them at the Sommerville Theatre (I have a first gen
cassette copy off a soundboard DAT if someone wants to start a tree).  Please
post when they will be in the area again.

Jim

moe. won't be back in the northeast for awhile

check their tour date web page at:

   http://www.universe.digex.net/~moe/moe.dates.html

	Spent Val. Day in Laconia Nude Hampster checkin' out Percy Hill at the
Stone Coast Brewing Co.  Nice place.  Good the see the boys in a small joint 
like that, especially with tasty micro-brews (Stout was muy delisioso!) :')

	For those who haven't been there, plenty of bar space, 2 pool tables, 
foozball table, and even a dart board.  Smallish dance floor, but...

 big enough for this drunken busty chick to go shovin her endowments in guys' 
chests so much they almost fall over backward!!  Then between tunz she 
approaches the stage with her swagger soliciting the band for a holiday kiss,
none of whom seemed to be very interested.  As they blow off the request and 
slide into the next tune, the poor deprived woman reaches for the mic stand, 
leans it down to herself on the dance floor and starts singing the blues over 
the bands music.  The sound board dude came running up to replace the mic to 
its rightful owner and in the meantime this lusty vixen wraps her arms around 
his neck and plants a soggy smooch upside his right cheek.  She escaped an 
early departure from the bar by leaving the dance floor, but 10 minutes later
she was back again pushing another guy across the dance floor with herself.
All in all it was pretty entertaining, but sucked because it drew so much 
attention away from the band.

	But back to the band....that was their first night with a new bassist,
Andy something.  He had the opportunity to lay out some really excellent jams
and it looks like he'll be a great compliment to their music!  These guys are
very well rounded.  In the first set they played about 4 tunz from their 
upcoming album.  According to Joe, still no date for release, just sometime in
the next couple of months....lame.

	Unfortunately, we decided to split after the 1st set due to extreme
exhaustion.  (Late,late,late night+hours of travel+full day of skiing+drinks 
at the mtn+huge mexican feast+beers before show=lame departure.)  Although,
the saving grace is Percy Hill's appearance in the near future at Paradise in
Boston on Feb. 28th.  get that?

	Percy Hill      Paradise in Boston     Feb. 28th.

	See you there...........................................davet.

Thats all the info I have at this moment except i want to extend a special

our shows great!

    Yesterday was a shitty, f*&%ed up day...did I say how crummy it was?
    The ONLY thing that saved me from going off the deep end and killing
    someone was looking forward to the Dave Matthews/Tim Reynolds 
    Acoustic Show last nite at The Paramount Theater in Denver...and I still 
    wasn't my natural, happy self even on the way up.....gotta find someway 
    to shake these blues when I have 'em like this...anyway...
    
    The Paramount was built in 1929 and has been kept up very nicely. Cool
    ceiling tiles and paintings on the side walls. Big stage for two guys
    and their guitars. Located near the renovated 16th St. Mall in downtown
    Denver..so there should be some brew pubs close by...but we (me, Patty,
    Lindsey and her friend Molly)had to meet up with Tiffany and her weird
    friends from CSU, so I'll be looking for the pubs tonight when it's
    just Patty and I (I LOVE taking my kids to concerts, but it can be a
    drain esp. when I'm already in a foul mood). Good thing there was at
    least Red Wolf (gak!, phooie!, choke!) on tap at the venue. 'bout 6 of
    those and I was sorta back to my ole self....
    
    The Denver crowd wanted to dance but Dave is rather adamit about
    dancing in yer seats for Dave and Tim shows, had to tell us a couple of
    times before we (the crowd) got the picture. Lindsey and I did sneak up
    front a couple of times to get a REAL close look at Dave and dance a
    little, but that didn't last long.."Can you please set down and not
    dance, you are ruining it for everybody"..."No, f*&% U!" (Guess I
    needed a few more beers) How come it's always the people with the best
    seats that want everyone else to set down??? (I know, we've been down
    this rathole a MILLION TIMES and I'm not ready to start the discussion
    over again, so I'll stop now...)

    (another one I can't read)
    story about "neutercals", things they stick on male dogs after
    removing testicles, and how if he was a dog and could lick his balls
    he'd think he'd know something was wrong..esp. if he were a chiwawa
    (sp) and had bison balls attached after being neutered (gets up and
    walks around stage imitateing a small dog with large testicles)
    Wait For You??
    (another one I can't read)
    starts Song That Jane Likes. breaks two strings right away, stops, 
    says "I'm a string breakin fool", changes guitars and does
    Crash!!

    Encore:Ants..after a story about watching ants on a Nat Geo Special on
    the bus and how we gotta stop chewing up the world like ants, tells a
    guy yelling.. "Hey, bro, you with the big voice..shut the F*ck up!"
    little while later guy with big voice yells "shut the F*ck up" to dave
    and dave goes "That's My Man. right there!" further embarassing  Big
    Voice. 
    
    All in all a good show...not loud enough for me (never is). Tim didn't
    play those stellar acoustic licks as much as he played with weird sound
    effects on his acoustic guitar...maybe more pickin and less special
    effects tonite...OH! You missd that???? PATTY AND I ARE GOING AGAIN
    TONITE!!!!!!!!! I'll be in A LOT BETTER MOOD TONITE TOO!!!!!!!

Dave Mathews has a problem with people dancing in their seats during his
shows??

That's a first...

(Unless you meant the other way around and I misunderstood..)

adam

    The review of the Matthews/Reynolds Boston show made special 
    note of the rude and obnoxious behavior of the audience (talking,
    yelling, basically no listening). I wasn't there so I can't
    attest to it, but the review made it sound like Matthews 
    might as well have been playing at a frat party. I'm only
    guessing, but maybe that type of boorish behavior has made
    him a little cranky.   

    Yep, U misunderstood me, adam
     Dave WANTS you to "dance sitting down" for Dave and Tim shows. 
    
    rfb

    re; .348
    
    yep...had some of that Monday nite...Patty and I are pretty good at
    giving evil looks to those that talk during songs...mostly college
    sorority girls...but it's gonna take a long time to get the message
    across, if it even gets across, cause dave STARTED OUT playing college
    frat partys, and DMB concerts are rowdy dance-a-thons. But Dave has no
    qualms about telling you to SHut the F*&% up, now adays...%^)
    
    
    rfb

	I thought you were saying that the people down front wanted
	you to sit - not DM - that's real interesting - I always 
	assumed that (rock?/dont really know what kinda music this was)
	musicians -liked- to see people dancing to their music...

	Debess

Sorry folks -

	don't really see the relationship here.

  I don't think there are many of you in here that would disagree with
me when I say there's a bit of difference between dancin' to music that
makes you feel like moving, and just jabbering away like some sorority
bimbettes. 
  I can't see how Dave would be offended by dancing, but yappin' over the 
music is nothing short of rude to both the musician(s) and those around 
you.  Have some control people, talk about stuff when the music's over, hell
you only have a couple hours to enjoy it, ya know?  Shut yer mouth and get to
steppin'. 8^)

I've been to shows where the musician has repeatedly told the same
guy to sit down because this is a concert and not a dance...
:)
bob

	was it classical music? :-)

    that's why I stopped going to see Tull...seems after all the years of
    people boping around at his shows, he all of a sudden wants to be a 
    symphony conducter and wants everyone to set down...granted, there are 
    peopel I've seen whwere it wasn't "dance" music, King Crimson last year
    comes to mind...but I'll avoid most of that...
    
    bob...what groups??
    
    
    rfb_ole fart

   <<< Note 79.354 by EVMS::OCTOBR::DEBESS "seeking all thats stil unsung" >>>
>	was it classical music? :-)

No it was Joe Jackson ....

bob

On another, similar note:

I've been to shows where the artist begged people to dance and no one 
listened (too numerous to mention)...

And been to shows where I've asked people to sit down (Frank Zappa at the
Orpheum there was this particularly obnoxious kid in front of me)....

I've seen John Mayall and the guy next to me insisted on playing his harp
along to the tunes .... I had trouble with that.

I tried to dance to the Nevilles, who were opening for Ziggy Marley, and 
was told to sit down by the kiddy cops at least 3 times.

these are fun...
bob

>I've seen John Mayall and the guy next to me insisted on playing his harp
>along to the tunes .... I had trouble with that.


	no way!  now, that's rude...

    Defining rude behavior is not easy. Especially if you're the
    one accused of being rude. Most often, rude is determined by 
    context.
    
    If you're at a concert and you're standing and dancing and
    having the time of your life and everyone is yelling at you 
    to sit down and you look around and lo and behold everyone 
    else appears to be seated, you are being rude. You may be 
    reaching some sort of personal nirvana state, but you're
    still being rude.  
    
    On the other hand: If you're at a concert and the entire audience is 
    on their feet and dancing and you decide you want to stay seated, 
    and you insist on trying to get everyone directly in front of you 
    to sit down, then you're being rude. 
    
    Most concert situation tend to fall somewhere in the middle, and trying
    to figure out which scenario you're in is not always cut and dried
     -- especially if you've consumed massive quantities of whatever.
    A good rule of thumb: If it appears that you've somehow made everyone 
    around you miserable in your quest for maximum personal happiness, 
    something is probably not quite right.

 thumbs up to -.1 !  Very well said.

 - Josh

    I agree with Josh, very well put. I may not agree 100% with the post,
    but very well said. and like I said, I'll avoid most shows where the 
    set down crowd attends. 
    
    one point of Mr. Beaupre post (I don't know what else to call you)
    one setting down and trying to get others to do the same, I would
    think, would suffer more from others than the opposite happening.
    
    rfb_who will try and not dance tonite
    
    

    
    so, i was at a dead show at the boston garden...  and this guy 
    about halfway down the section in front of me, suddenly leaps up
    from his chair and started screaming about how this whole thing was 
    work fo the devil and that god was on his way and was really pissed 
    and all of us would be brought to task for our indulgences into
    hedonistic behaviors and could expect to be smitten by his angels...
    
    and just as suddenly, he stopped, looked around with a strange 
    expression on his face, and RAN out of the hall in a panic (or so it
    seemed)...
    
    now, no one else in this area was doing this...  does that mean he
    was being rude?  the general impression on this occasion was that he
    was being amusing...  :^)  
    
    					da ve

    HA! cracked me up!!!!!

    oh, and "Mr Beaupre" will occasionally answer to "Steve"...
    
    but that's only because "Benevolent Lord and Master" is kind of
    pretentious, and a mouthful...  :^)
    
    isn't that right, oh benevolent lord and master?  :^)

	could you tell the gender just by reading the note?!?  ;-)

	I mean, even though there are very few active female participants
	here - BEAUPRE -could- -possibly- be a woman!

	Debess

	NEVERMIND!!! (hi steve!)

    I'm going to flip all the cards (I'm sure that reference dates
    me somewhat) and tell you that Mr. West has the right answer.
    Not the benevolent overlord thing (or whatever it was), but
    rather the Steve part. 
    
    For whatever reason, I've never put my name on these deals in
    all my years of assorted and sordid noting. Just rude, I guess.

	What's My Line?  !!!   I remember that!

    the way i look at it
    
    everyone paid for their ticket so they can do wahtever the hell they
    want there

    I remember Zappa asking everyone up front to sit down at a concert 
    in Providence around '82 because  it was messing up the sound of the
    low-lyin speakers.  Mindy and I had 5th row seats and didn't mind 
    one bit, especially coming from Frank. ;-)

    /ken

re:  Zappa

Ya,  he could be rather ornery with the audience.  I saw him at a hockey
rink in Danvers once and he stopped the show twice.  Once for fireworks
and once for some clowns climbing up in the steel rafters.

bob

	enquiring minds want to know: did rfb stay in his seat last night? ;-)

    So Steve...seems like you might have given yerself a nick-name for use
    in Grateful??? Rude Steve??? %^)   Just joshin....and that was an
    overboard assumption on my part that Steve was a man, wasn't it Debess..
    
    re;
     enquiring minds want to know: did rfb stay in his seat last night? ;-)
    
    NO! Our seats were left orchestra Tuesday nite as oppsed to center for
    Monday nite. So after the little girls behind us kept talking thru the 
    first 5 songs, we skipped to the aisle and danced and drank there. 
    Way back so as not to bother ANYONE or impede anyones view that chose 
    to remain seated. The Audience was a lot kinder to Dave and Tim Tuesday
    nite though, hardly anyone standing in the front rows and the aisles
    were kept clear voluntarily. Dave did poke fun at the people that chose
    to keep talking thru mellow tunes by looking at Tim and using the 
    "hand and thumb togethr" motion to simulate idle chatter and saying
    something like "yada yada yada"...but I'm getting ahead of myself wit
    the story here...
    
    We left Colo Spgs just as a storm came over the front range. Where we 
    booogied up to Denver doin 75-80 Monday nite, our speed was kept in
    check Tuesday nite by the storm and bumper to bumper traffic..35 mph
    for an hour, blinding huge white flakes coming straight at the
    windshield, nerve-wracking, knuckles clinching the steering wheel.
    Was I glad to see the bar at the venue.

Ya!  I've never seen them but I listened to a WERS fundraiser for which 
they played a looonnng set live on the radio.  It was excellent.  I meant 
to ask in here if anyone taped it.  I'd love to hear it again.

thanks

    I heard the same bloody thing and thats what inspired me to rush out
    and see these guys.

some local tour dates for Medeski, Martin and Wood:

6/16/97 NEWPORT, RI             NEWPORT JAZZ FEST.
6/21/97 NEW YORK, NY            SUMMER STAGE

7/04/97 BEAR MTN., CA           HIGH SIERRA MUSIC FEST

some reviews from their web site, reprinted without permission
for your pure reading enjoyment:

"Imagine an experimental trio that revels in biting dissonance as
much as sweet harmony, that juxtaposes rhythmically free passages
with deep-in-the-groove swing passages, that alternates between
brazenly atonal sections and easygoing pop melodies, and you get an
idea of just how quirky this band can be... Regardless of the tempo,
tone or direction of the composition at hand, the band's musical
fabric remains essentially the same. Medeski's soulful riffs on
electronic keyboards, Martin's inventive colors and attacks on
percussion and Wood's resplendent timbres on amplified double bass
never pause, even as one instrument steps to the forefront for an
instant or two." - Howard Reich, Chicago Tribune

"Applying a visceral dance beat to Monk and Coltrane tunes as well as
originals might easily turn predictable if the three players did not
sustain such well-balanced liberty. Martin, by far the least flashy,
deserves much of the credit - his drums are always filling the cracks,
at a conversational level that elevates his ideas from mere accompaniment
without intruding on his partners." - Bob Blumenthal, Boston Globe

"Medeski, who alternated between three keyboards, handled the bulk of
the solo duties, stating a simple theme and then stretching the tonal
center to the breaking point, as he did on the skipping Beeah. When
Martin wasn't holding down a groove, he was dipping into world beat and
experimentalist territory, whether taking a talking drum solo or doing
drum rolls on the mike stand... MMW covered so much musical ground Friday
that by the time it ripped into Jimi Hendrix's Crosstown Traffic during
their encore, few raised their eyebrows; they were too busy nodding their
heads." - Tony Green, St. Petersburg Times

    One of our old deadhead friends in Calif. helps out and plays in the
    campgrounds of the High Sierra...the tape he just made me of Boulder's
    String Cheese Incident has some stuff from High Sierra on it. At one of
    the Blue Grass Fests, I think it's Strawberry but it could be High
    Sierra, he does the local "radio station", which has just enough power
    for the festival. I'll ask him about MMW.

re: Jiggle
That was a good show.  No set break, just rock out hahd until
closing time.  i like it.  i recall loooooooong ago when my
buddy big joe would have jiggle play in his living room for parties.
gary is becoming a very good axe player!

David Grisman Quintet was very fine on Saturday 3/8.

Most of this band has been playing together for at least 5 or 6 years. 
They sound great.  Aside from Grisman, there is:

	Jim Kerwin on bass
	Joe Craven on fiddle, mandolin, and percussion
	Enrique ?? on guitar
	??? on flutes

Nice variety of tunes.  Everything from Fanny Hill to Arabia to Grateful
Dawg.

Two very satisfying sets in a beautiful little theater in Manchester.

Only a few rude yahoos who thought they were at a R&R show.

If you get to see these guys, don't hesitate!!

    Now HERE'S some really noteworthy music information..we might all wanna
    get some tickets to this event..
    
    New Delhi, India -- Five Indian farmers have threatened to set
    themselves on fire as protests mount against a series of concerts this
    week by Greek-born musician Yanni in front of the TAj Mahal. 
    
    THE Farmers who say their crops were destroyed to build a stage for the
    concert, say they will immolate themselves at the site on
    Thursday....unles the Govt pays adaquate compensation.
    
    Their threats follow protests from conservationists  who say the govt
    is turning a blind eye to potential damage that the new age composers
    concert can cause....
    ---------------------------------------------------------------
    
    aparently light, sound and "fuel emmisions" generated by the musicians
    could damage the TAj. Hmmmm..that Yanni must need some GAS-X....
    
    seriously, that fact that farmers were forced to uproot 250 acres of
    crops to provide a stage area is kinda sad in a country where people
    are starving..Yanni is/was going to donate the proceeds, 3 mill, to the
    TAj's maintanance and preservation.

�    are starving..Yanni is/was going to donate the proceeds, 3 mill, to the
�    TAj's maintanance and preservation.
    
    And, no doubt, film a PBS fund-raiser...

GIANT SQUIB - EMAIL EDITION - MARCH AND APRIL 1997

LIVE ALBUM RELEASE
The new albums will be released in April (hopefully for the Anniverary
show at the Paradise!).  Did I say albums?  Absolutely.  We are releasing
these not as a double album but as two singles which can be purchased
either separately or as a package.  There is one common theme for them and
that is they are 100% COMPLETELY LIVE.   No studio tricks or over dubbing
but there are a few hidden tracks and fun stuff added that you will only
find on CD.  The albums will be called Double Feature - Cinema 1 and 2 or
Theater 1 and 2 or something like that.  There are 15 songs in all. Eight
previously unreleased songs, one that's been on a couple of other live
compilations, and six from our two previously recorded albums. The first
disc will open with a killer 17 minute version of Been So Long  and
continue with Right and Wrong, Queen Anne's Lace, Chicopee, Setting the
Boat Adrift, Million Days, and Sooner or Later.  The second disc includes
Fallen, Othello, Monkey Man, Something To Show, Golden Bottle, Don't Think
About It, Jasper, and Broken Window.  Cuts are coming from the Paradise
(12/27/96), Club Toast (11/16/96),  The Haunt (11/1/96), Deer Trees
Theatre in Harrison, ME (7/6/96) and probably the Wetlands (12/28/96).

These albums are being produced with you in mind by me and the band. They
are live and uncensored although they have been EQed, mixed, and mastered
for the digital sound of CD.  So many of you have written us asking for
live Percy Hill. On that note we are still offering the shows we used for
these albums through the bootleg service because they were smokin' shows
and the whole point is to get the music to you, but I highly recommend the
discs not only for their sound quality but for the semi-quirky extra stuff
we are putting on them.   The CD's are $12 separately or $20 for both and
this package deal is only available through us at our shows or through Mail
Order (see the Percy Hill Trading Post).  We are trying to work out the same
deal with stores but for now they will be in stores separately. You should
see them in stores by mid-April.  Thank you all for your support of live
music and I'll see you sooner or later at the shows!
 
 

Tour dates for the legendary  Percy Hill  ... how cool would it be to
hit Sunday River this Thursday, March 20, and then catch Percy Hill 
at Bumps Pub right down the road ?  Living larger than life, babe !

Go to the show at the paradise on April 2, and you could meet up with

Percy Hill has a "bootleg" service, where you can purchase
high-quality copies of their live shows ... they included a
listing of the shows available in their latest newsletter:

BOOTLEG UPDATE
Here is the updated list of shows available through our bootleg service.
Our sound engineer tweaks each show, produces a master copy, and then
real time duplicates it. These bootlegs do not have fillers. If you would
like a show that is not listed below, please call us @ 603/778.4242 to
confirm its availability.  You can also check out the web site for
complete and updated list of shows available.

The first tape (not show) costs $10, with each additional tape $6.  Tapes
are 90 minutes in length. Enclose an index card with your order form,
clearly stating which show and which sets you would like.  Because of the
large number of orders we have received for bootlegs, it takes 6-8 weeks
from the time we receive your order.  A rush order will take 4 to 6 weeks
Please be patient.  Thanks and enjoy!

                    MARIANNE FAITHFULL BANNED IN U.S.
                    YANNI CONCERT STILL ON

[MARIANNE FAITHFULL]
                    MARIANNE FAITHFULL BANNED IN U.S.

                    British singer Marianne Faithfull has been
                    temporarily banned from entering the U.S.
                    due to an arrest for possession of hash
                    over ten years ago. Faithfull was unable to
                    get her visa on time and was forced to
                    cancel at least one date on her U.S. tour
                    according to "E! Online."

                    Faithfull hit the charts with her vocals on
                    the Rolling Stones� "As Tears Go By." After
                    nearly two decades of the rock 'n' roll
                    lifestyle in the 60's and 70's, during
                    which she almost died of a heroin overdose,
                    Faithfull re-emerged as a road-worn
                    traveler.

                    Recently, Faithfull has been on tour
                    promoting her live album "20th Century
                    Blues." Earlier this year Faithfull was in
                    the U.S. for 10 concerts on the East Coast
                    and in Chicago, according to "E!." Without
                    her visa, the singer was not allowed to
                    cross into the states and was forced to
                    cancel a performance in Boston Tuesday.

                    A spokeswoman for Faithfull says the singer
                    is routinely delayed when trying to enter
                    the U.S. ever since an arrest in the early
                    80's for hashish possession. The singer's
                    spokeswoman says Faithfull was forced to
                    cancel a gig on "The David Letterman Show"
                    due to the same situation last year.

                    Faithfull will be continuing her tour in
                    Canada, performing in Toronto and
                    Vancouver. Scheduled appearances in the
                    U.S. later this week are going ahead as
                    planned.


       [YANNI]
                    YANNI CONCERT STILL ON

                    Farmers are threatening to set themselves
                    ablaze if Yanni wants to perform in front
                    of the Taj Mahal, but the new age performer
                    wants "unity" stressed - not fear. Yanni
                    said, "I wanted to be one of the many
                    people who wanted to stand up and send a
                    message of unity, I think it will send a
                    powerful message."

                    Conservationists are up in arms over the
                    concerts in fear of damaging the historic
                    Taj Mahal. Five farmers are threatening to
                    set themselves on fire during the
                    performances unless they are compensated
                    for crops that were destroyed to make room
                    for Yanni's shows. "The concert is not
                    about money," Yanni said. "The money is a
                    welcome by-product and it can be put to
                    good use, but you cannot misplace the
                    spirit of the concert."

  Others may spontaneously join in, given a few minutes exposure to
  Yanni-cheese...
  
  (Compared to Bobby, Yanni's the Cheese Wiz.)

  Incidentally, Marianne Faithfull's "Broken English" is f*ckin' great --
  sleeping with Keith, Mick, et al. was *not* her defining moment.  - JayC.

re: DMB and Los Lobos touring together this summer


        sounds like an excellent lineup :-) - what that confirms is that
        Los Lobos will not be touring with Furthur :-(  they were great!

        Debess
 

    yep...prob. more money to be made with DMB than with Furthur...too bad,
    that defintely kills the rumor about the "super" band at Furthur,,ie:
    Bobby, Phil?, Bruce, and Hidalgo...course I didn't believe that one
    anyway...
    
    rfb

If you haven't picked up a ticket to the sold out moe. show
at the somerville theatre on April 3, you could always make
the trek to NYC to take in the  stealth gig  that God Street
Wine will be playing:

> GSW is playing at Wetlands Thursday April 3 under the moniker
> "Jon Bevo's Love Orchestra".

May be a rumour, but I got the word from a pretty reliable
source ... only seen GSW once, but they put on an excellent
show - if you didn't pick up moe. tix,  shame  on  you  !
but you can make amends by checking out GSW, if it hasn't
sold out yet

moe. played a stealth gig last year under the name 
"mONKEYS oN eCSTASY." ... quite a few moe.heads figured it
out by the capital letters, but the show did not sell out,
probably the only moe. show that didn't sell out last year

should be getting a tape of the northampton show soon, where
moe. jammed a spectacular "recreational chemistry > dark star >
recreational chemistry" ... when it arrives, i'll offer it 
here, if there's any interest ... if the quality is good, i'd
highly recommend it - one of the best moe. shows i've been too !

another rumour:  somebody in moe.land (band manager, or their
tour promoter, can't remember which) mentioned that moe. might
be included on this year's further fest ... see how it goes 
 
check back for more details, when you least expect it ! 
 
  

more rumours from a fan on moe.net:

it comes on very good authority that moe. will indeed have the
opening slot on the Furthur Fest this summer.  Of course, as they
say "Nothing is confirmed until we are on stage playing"
(obligatory disclaimer) 
 
 

    well, well, well...good! seems I might havea chance to see moe. after
    all! Couldn't make any of the Colo shows, esp the Ft. COllins one since
    that was our aniversary and Patty had other plans than spending the
    nite at Tiffanys and seeing a show at a bar.....FURTHUR HERE WE GO!
    
    rfb

only down-side would be that moe. would be resticted to a
30-minute set, which would round out to about 2-3 songs.

would seem weird, when you're used to three hour moe. shows

but 30 minutes are better than none, and plenty of fine
bands will follow, so it should be a grate show ... this
message i got said black crowes would head-line, which
seemed weird with all the rumours about the 'super-band'
as someone called it, with most of the boys together ...
hate to spread rumours, but i'm gettin antsy thinking
about it ... one show at a time, dammit ... plenty of
fine shows heading our way over the next few months !

then we can look forward to the shows further down the road
feeling good !
 
 

Once again the moe.web site, at http://www.universe.digex.net/~moe/
has been updated. Now featuring the Road Report, new ramblings from Rob,
verbage from vinnie, and more info about The Brain Festival to be held
Memorial Day Weekend in Upstate NY.

moe. is pleased to announce The Brain Festival, our own hyper-hip
weekend-long festival gig in Kerhonkson, NY (about 15 minutes from
Woodstock) over Memorial Day Weekend. It will be two days of music
(Saturday & Sunday) from 1pm to 4am each day with on-site camping,
mirco-brews, volleyball, dancing, and campfires. We'll be lining up
over five other bands we're sure you'll enjoy to round out the fun.
Bring your Sony Playstation and marshmallows. All ages!!

Confirmed as joining us on the Brain Festival stage will be Hypnotic
Clambake, The Steam Donkeys, and Cherry Poppin' Daddies, with more
artists to follow shortly.
 
 

    Coming up:
    
    Neil Young will be part of HORDE this year...
    
    Santana and Rusted Root  play Great Woods...
    
    GW press conference is April 8;  look for dates after that...
    
    /b

pretty sure there are still tickets for tonight's Percy Hill
show at the paradise rock club in boston ... they always seem
to sell out the paradise the day of the show, and tonight is
their fourth anniversary gig ... should be a grate show !

other music happenings:

looks like moe. will join the HORDE-fest, but only for the last two
weeks ... not sure whether they'll do the entire further fest either
but one show at a time !  who's up for getting on the bus to the
"brain-fest" in upstate new york ?  pretty sure this is memorial day
weekend - there's also the "wamboozy" festival with some pretty decent
bands, heard good things about most of the bands playing at both of
these festivals ... these festivals are close enough that we could
probably swing both (maybe both days of brain fest, then the last day
of the wamboozy gig, once we find out who's playing each day) ...
anyways, i'll try to keep you posted (surprised ?)  -  arm

don't forget - moe. plays somerville theatre TOMORROW !  get tickets now !

    re: paradise tonight...
    
    Parking will be a bear!!!  Boston  is *still* digging  out from
    yesterday's storm, and basically has no place to put all the snow.
    
    I had been thinking of checking out a band in Davis Square
    tonight, till I remembered just what it's like down there
    after a storm!   So unless you've got your 4 wheel drive,
    and a shovel, or some really good juju, think twice about going
    in...  
    
    /b

    
    Take the T from Alewife Bruce. Plenty of parking there and it's
    just one stop from Davis Sq.   That's what i'll do tomorrow 
    night for Moe.
    
    Where's the pre-moe rage?
    
    Cathy

tonight, we tackle the slopes in Dave's mighty outback - 
makes molehills out of mountains ... comm ave might not be
bad, for the paradise gig tonight ... i could see how davis
square could be a bear though ... hopefully by tomorrow 
some o that snow will melt ... they only got a measly 20
inches in boston, we got close to 30 near worcester ... 

the T for the somerville gig ... did that last time, when the
gf decided to leave her car at a T station near her house.
moe. went on around 11:45, right when we had to leave to get
the last T train outta there - d'oh!  

two sets of moe. tomorrow night should end at 1:00 A.M. - if
you need a ride back to the T i'm sure we could hook you up

we're meeting a friend at johnny d's, right across the street
from the somerville theatre ... is there a better place to go
for the pre-rage ?  we went to mike's last time, and it was
pretty dead ... any suggestions ?

so who is going to the moe. show tomorrow night ?  

two sets of Percy Hill tonight, two sets of moe. tomorrow,
then a set of ominous seapods and two sets of moe. running
til 4 A.M. in new york friday ... i could get used to this  :)
 
 

    Tomorrow's moe. show starts at 8:30, why so late, any idea there?
    1 a.m. finish probably means I won't go.

    Tom

    
    Johnny D's is fine for starters. Redbones (down the street from
    Dunken Donuts in Davis sq.) has an interesting bar and good food.
    I think I'd like to try there.
    
    I picked up 2 tickets yesterday. Still not sure who's going besides
    me. 
     
    Good point on the T not running that late. It's only 1 stop though,
    I'll have to find out when the last train runs back to Alewife and/or
    bum a ride.
    
    Cath

if you can't make the trek to new york this fryday to catch
the moe. & ominous seapods gig at irving plaza, you could
always just turn on that computer and listen to it live !

moe. has decided to cybercast the show, live, in its entirity !
check out their web page at   http://www.universe.digex.net/~moe/

there's a link there for the irving plaza show, as well as links
to three other shows they've done in the past few months:
10-05-96 in new york with Medeski, Martin & Wood;  2-29-97 at the
Troubadore in hollywood, CA; and the 3-01-97 show at the Great
American Music Hall in san fran ... you can also check out "Brent
Black" (very cool tune) and the 45:10 "meat" single in its entirity
(another very cool tune)

of course, you need a sound card to actually hear any of this fine
music ... details, details ... 

i've never checked it out myself (don't have a sound card) but i'd
be interested to find out how the sound quality is ... anyone care
to check it out ?  let me know - thanks !  -  arm 
 
 

show starts at 8:30, probably more like 9:00 ... no opener
(yes!) so moe. plays two sets, likely 9:00 to 10:30 then
11:00 to 1:00 ... over three hours of live moe. for $10 ...
who could ask for more (maybe greedy folk) 

okay,  johnny d's  >  redbones  >  moe. show  sounds cool !
redbones is a cool place to hang awhile, probably better
than johnny d's ... don't see a problem hooking you up with
a ride back to alewife ... last T train out of davis square
runs at about 11:50 (T station is right next to somerville
theatre) ... we're in for one fine show

where are you sitting Cath ?  we're on the floor somewhere
but we'll likely wander (as usual)  :)
 
 

    
    Since MOE starts later, I may actually be able to go after school.
    
    I assume tix are still available.
    

Remember the last time moe. played the Sommerville Theater?  It was 
SUPPOSED to be a 8:30 start time, but the doors didn't OPEN until 
after then.  Does anybody really believe that moe. will start playing 
at 8:30 and go until 1:00?

Jim

      I tried accessing the moe stuff on the net, downloaded
      the audio software, but couldn't get it all to work.

      Wishing I could do moe @ sommerville, but it wipes me out 
      to do a late show during the week...

plenty of good shows, never enough free time !  get out there and
catch some live music !  i'd recommend any of these shows, may even
get out and check out the JMP & hellborg/lane/apt.Q258 show at the
somerville theatre on may 2 ... shake off them winter blues !

    any body (who's not going to .moe) wanna go to Stormy Monday
    tonight to check out Peter Malick Blues Band?  music starts at
    8;  free...
    
    blurb says he plays sorta like a cross between Buddy Guy & Otis Rush,
    if ya know what I mean...
    
    /b

completely blown away.  i don't know how we can describe what
happened last night - words just can't do it justice ... Percy
Hill invited us into Paradise, put on the Best show i've ever
seen them jam, and sent us home with mile-wide smiles !

THREE SETS !

Percy Hill came out in the first set ON FIRE!  the crowd reacted
immediately, fueling the flames - this brought the band to an
even higher level, which, in turn, pushed us over the edge - a
give-and-take effect which seemed to feed itself until we were
all broiling in some frothing frenzy

after the set, we had about ten minutes to catch our collective
breath, until Percy Hill came out and played the entire second
set unplugged - an acoustic set which featured many favorites
and really set the stage for an AMAZING night of excellent music !
we could've left right then and there and felt fulfilled ...
then Tom announced that they'd be out for a third set !  

multiple orgasms all around !

how could they top the first two sets ?  they couldn't, many
likely told themselves -  but they did  -  the third set just
continued to bring us all somewhere we never thought possible,
extended jams that turned us inside-out, lifting the crowd
ever higher til we were sure we'd be pushed over the edge
like some crazy crew of fools on a midnite ride to nowhere !

rippin "rush hour traffic" for the encore put an exclamation
point at the end of the show !  

Percy Hill's show last night left one tough act to follow -
if moe. can even come close to what Percy Hill did last night,
then we're all in for a treat tonight !  looking forward to
the moe. show tonight - two sets !  
 
Percy Hill also released their new CD last night - double
live CD which you can also pick up as seperate CD's ... why
anyone wouldn't pick 'em both up, nobody seems to know ...
but at leat they leave us the option !  each individual CD
is $12, or you can buy the two-CD set for $20 - well worth it !
listening to it right now, and it really captures their live
sound & feel - you can pick it up at a show, or order it
through Mail Order (you need the form, i picked one up at
the show, so if you're into ordering one, let me know, i'll
make a copy of the form) ... you might be able to order it
through the HomeGrown Network, at 1-800-6LEEWAY - a grate
source for hard-to-find CD's by some grate bands !
The CD is scheduled to be delivered to record stores by
then end of Arpil (hopefully) so if you see it, pick it up !
It's definitely worth it ! 

Highly Recommended CD -  Percy Hill: "Double Feature"

Buy early, buy often ... makes a grate gift to a friend
who's looking for some fine music !

    MOE last night was rockin.  I didn't really like the new tune that they
    played though.   Very rythmic band....sound a lot like a rythmic
    version of Phish.

    La Casa del Blooz and the Rads on Tues?
    
    Hmm.  I could be game.  Might even be willing to drive others...

Somone from Percy.net sent me a setlist for the Paradise show,
seems right for the most part, but i could have sworn they
played "rush hour traffic" for the encore, and "million days"
as the last song of set III ... Dave ?
 
We will be getting a copy of this show, and when it comes in,
we'll offer it here - highly recommended !  hopefully soon !
For now, pick up their new CD "Double Feature" - should be
in your local record stores by the end of the month !
 
 
4/02/97 Paradise, Boston MA  3 sets

I:   Drum intro > When I go > Broken Window > Right and Wrong >
Do Whatever your Heart Says So, Fallen, Don't Think About It,
Lady Window, Nate intro-> Casa/Othello

II:  Lifetime, Way Back Home > Hi & Lo, new song, Golden Bottle,
Ozark's Plateau, Prison Sentence (acoustic set, Dylan on mini drum set)

III: Sooner or Later, Jasper, Jam > Been So Long, Queen Anne's Lace

E: Million Days
 
 

three fine days of fine shows ... eight sets of music by three
grate bands makes for some tired legs !  Percy Hill started it
off with their fourth anniversary celebration at the paradise
rock club in boston, three of the finest sets i've ever seen
them put on ... tough act for moe. to follow !

moe. played two sets in cambridge at the somerville theatre -
pretty much your average moe. show, i wasn't sure whether they
were saving their "crowd pleasers" for fryday's new york show,
or whether they just planned on playing so many newer tunes ... 
at the same time, it seemed like they had NO pre-arranged
setlist, which they usually set before each show, but rarely
follow anyways ... 

two cool things about this venue (imho):  there is little/no
security ... so we got to walk up to the fifth row for a nice
close look, along with any other benefits you find when there's
no security around :~) ... the other cool thing about somerville
theatre is that they let you leave in between sets, just in case
you want to go check on your car, or get a cup of coffee or
something :~)

moe. opened with a rippin' "32 things" and went into "yodelittle"
and it was really shaping up to be a grate show ... "backwoods"
followed, a country-ish tune that usually slows the flow at a
moe. show (a good thing ?) ... "dr graf" > "CIA" picked it back
up, and "moth", "nebraska", "gary" finished off a decent 1st set
(there were some technical difficulties to start the set, which
they fixed as they went along)

second set started off slow - "bearsong" and "lyle lovett" are
two newer songs i really haven't gotten into, and the crowd was
sort of waiting for something to happen - when moe. ripped into
a very cool version of "timmy tucker" - ahhhh, back on track -
"mexico" followed (this song always gets requested at shows)
"four" was decent, though by this time i was looking for a
"rebubula" which would've made the night for me - but it never
came (no "rebubula" at either show - suck!) ... "spaz med" >
"seat of my pants"  picked the crowd up a bit, an average
"brent black" kept everybody on their feet until the encore:
"head", a newer song which has come a long way - some sick
bass jamming by Rob !


on to new york - the mighty Outback delivered two exhausted
fans to manhattan, arriving in the afternoon once we found
the irving plaza, ready to tour greenwich village's finer
pubs & taverns, in anticipation of fryday night's show:

and tour we did, amazed at how many taverns & pubs they pack in
per square city block - so many options, so little time !  not
enough time to catch the entire opening set by Ominous Seapods,
who, from what i hear, put on a grate performance - we arrived
to catch the last two songs, "jet smooth ride" and "blackberry
brandy"  -  sounded grate !

moe. opened with "bring you down", not especially lively, but
picked it up from there ... "timmy tucker" followed, surprising
to hear after they played it in set II from the previous night.
"spine of a dog" followed, and the opening "you say potato, i
say three" harmony was messed up twice by the band - they were
trying to sing while someone off-stage was making then laugh -
at least the crowd got a kick out of it ... can't remember what
they played for the rest of the set, but i'll post a setlist
when it comes.  in the middle of the set, we're dancing about
20 feet from the stage, and someone grabs me out of nowhere -
Carol Wade, a fan from moe.net (who offered a tour review in the
latest version of the moe. newsletter), who started touring with
the band recently,somehow spotted us in the middle of a bouncing
crowd - eagle eyes !

the second set rocked - easily the best set out of both nights !
"YOY" got the crowd bouncing right away, and "akimbo" kept it
going ... a lengthy intro to "st augustine" made sure no one
let up, and by this time, my legs had  no gas  left ... "brent
black" followed (one of my favorites) and the Ominous Seapods
joined moe. on-stage, wearing some chicken-masks and dancing
on the stage like mad-men - the drummer for Seapods joined
moe.s drummer for the jam ... crazy stuff !  "head" followed,
though not quite as lengthy or rippin as the somerville version
"happy hour hero" was the last song of set II, and when the band
came out for the encore, they mulled about, deciding what they'd
play ... they went with "buster" (one of Sloan's favorites, or
so i'm told) and i'm pretty sure they dedicated this version to
Sloan, although i was pretty wiped by then, and might have been
hearing things ... 


overall, i'd say all three shows were amazing !  i guess i was
expecting one or both moe. shows to measure up to the fantastic
moe. show we caught over in northampton this past january - that
was one of the best live shows i've ever seen (nice "rec chem" >
"dark star" > "rec chem") and the Percy Hill show this week was
another of the finest live club shows i've been to ... so while
most folks on moe.net are currently buzzing about these two
shows being "the best they've seen", i wonder whether they were
lucky enough to catch these other shows ... it's all relative, i
guess ... no "rebubula" was a surprise, almost a bummer, but you
can't complain when you've seen eight sets of grate music in 3 daze


kudos to Dave Todd for driving to every show - the Mighty Outback
ruled the night !  
 
 

	i'd be up for the rads.
	never been to la maison de bluez.
	

looks like moe. saved everything i was looking for in their vast
reportoire for saturday's show in washington d.c. ... their song
selection saturday was incredible - and O'Teil came out to jam
with moe. !!!  can't believe we missed this show by one day !!!

Set I:
Spaz Medicine, Nebraska, Four*, Brent Black*, Rebubula> Yodelittle>
Rebubula       *W/ Oteil Burbridge (ARU Bass player)

Set II:
It, Backwoods, Meat > CalifornIA, Moth, Time Ed, Spine of a Dog

E: She Sends Me, Seat Of My Pants


can't believe we missed O'Teil ... rebubula ... meat ... time ed !
i'm quitting my job to follow these guys around the world !
 
 
also, here are setlists for the irving plaza show (looks like we
missed a killer Seapods set, Dave !)

POCONOS' GATHERING ON THE MOUNTAIN @ BIG BOULDER SKI AREA

Saturday, August 9
Saturday line-up: Los Lobos, The Jerry Garcia Band, Moby Grape, Max Creek,
Country Joe McDonald, The Toni Brown Band, Sideshow Bob

Sunday, August 10
Sunday line-up: Hot Tuna, Merl Saunders, Matt Kelly, New Riders of the Purple
Sage, Commander Cody, Purple Schoolbus, Splintered Sunlight

The "Gathering" represents a tribute to the legendary psychedelic artists
that formed the music scene of the late 1960's. This national festival
features fourteen cosmic acts in a setting that is surrounded by mountains,
lakes, green grass and clean fresh air. You will experience a bizarre bazaar,
where vendors of all sorts will sell their wares, scenic chairlift rides,
rare movie footage, informative seminars and plenty of food and beverage in
two days full of peace and serenity.
 
 

	a few rumors at this point:

	Chris Fields just sent mail that the Furthur Fest, including 
	Arlo Guthrie are tentatively being booked at Highgate for July 5
	(a Saturday!, a cool place to go to!)

	also, just saw that Vince Welnick is planning a tour with

That'd be a lot of fun!  Long drive though .... Still could camp and
fish for an extra day or 2....

But this is my 2nd year running that I've fouled up and made vacation plans
already and they happen first 2 weeks of July :^/

bob

ps.  On another note - if I was the promoter doing the Highgate show
on July 5 I'd keep Arlo but I'd add a BIG name....  Santana or someone
like that which would help pack em in...Phish?  Nah,  Weir'd be too
insecure :)

    Looking like a good summer

    anybody going to dabull to check out RonnieEarl tonght?

That free show in Boston is the Earth Day thing .... lots and lots
of other bands will be there too.

so where is the "band shell" ... is it the hatch shell
along the banks of the river charles ?

widespread panic - april 26 - free earth day show 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
 
 

    I believe that is correct.  I will be there too so maybe
    we can figure out a way to stake out a largish plot early
    on and save room for folks... bring picnic baskets and
    portapotties 'cuz I guess it can get crowded.

    Tom

    yep... ditto ont he crowd thing too...  i've been to a few of the earth
    day shows and they do draw a huge crowd...
    
    to get a big space you'll need a few people, and several blankets and a
    VERY early arrival time... pack a breakfast...

    Classical guitarist Julian Bream plays at Mechanics hall 
    at 4:00 on Sunday April 20. This may be the last chance to
    see Bream as he will probably retire this year. 

    
    I found the best way to handle the earth day show is to park at Alewife
    and ride a bike in from there.  I usually park in Bedford and ride in
    on the rail trail right into Boston.
    

    No that I want to dissaude anyone from cycling, but the red line T
    stops a stone's throw from the Hatch Shell.  The Minuteman Bikeway is
    great, but it's popular with roller bladers, joggers, and pedestrians.

    "Blues Legend" Jimmy Rogers is playing the Plantation Club
    in Woostah Thursday, April 17...    151 Plantation St
                                            508 752-4666
    
    Decent food/munches, plenty of room to move...  
    I'd guess that it's a possiblity that Ronnie Earl might show up
    (and  even play some blues); he's played on at least one of 
    Rogers' disks...
    
    Come out and  support the Plantation...  Ray Silva has really tried
    to build  this club up, booking music 7 nights, putting lots of
    decent  beer on tap, and  offering  an interesting menu...
    he's taken a beating recently;  he's not  gotten enough press for some
    big-ticket names...
    
    /b

    and another note about Ray...  speaking as a musician who works his
    club, when it comes to club owners, he's a stand up guy...  he cares
    about his place, he tries to provide good entertainment, tries to
    support the local folks as well as bring in topnotch acts from out of
    town, and is a pleasant human being to deal with...
    
    he took a big bath last year when he put on a big show on the new
    stage in East Park (aka Christopher Columbus Park) on Shrewsbury St....
    he's been digging out ever since...
    
    so even if the blues isn't your bag, if you see something cool going on
    at the plantaion club, you might want to run down and dig it...  Ray,
    and by extension the local worcester music scene, can always use the
    support!

Bruce, wish i had known about the thurs gig at the plantation
club... i made plans for that night already!

oh well

Peter Rowan is playing tonight at Johnny D's starting at 8:30 (took one 
break and played until almost 1:00 last time he was there).  Pretty good 
show for $10 cover charge.

Jim

    Peter is always a good show.  How was he?
    
    Last time I saw him was in Dublin, Ireland in Sept. 95.  They have an
    11:30 curfew, and finally had to practically drag him off the stage at
    12:20.  As he usually does, he had two local, Irish traditional
    musicians perform with him - great show, sorry I missed him last
    night...
    

We got there about ten minutes late for our 7:30 reservations for 
dinner.  At first we were taken to a booth toward the back until I 
said "can we be a little closer to the stage?" at which point they 
put us in the booth closest to the stage (about 10' from the mike 
stands).  Not a bad start.  Maryland Crabcakes were good.  Peter 
can on just before 9:00 and played two sets and an encore before 
ending about 11:40 (alot earlier than the last time he played there
but still a lot of music).  He was playing solo this time (Jerry 
Douglas, a fantastic dobro player was there last time).  He started 
the night with Panama Red and Midnight Moonlight.  Peter tends to 
tell stories about every fourth song and talked about Bill Monroe, 
Jerry Douglas, Tony Rice, the four CDs he had come out this year, 
his two Grammy nominations and how he didn't feel bad about losing 
to Bruce Springsteen, being on the bus as part of Bill Monroe and 
His Bluegrass Boys, growing up in Wayland Mass in BR (before 
Raytheon), trying to write songs with Townes Van Zant and where 
some of the songs came from.  The songs were quite varied from 
a 1918 country blues tune by Jimmy Rogers (who was an inspiration 
for Bill Monroe), Muleskinner Blues (a very early Monroe yodeling
tune with lots of hot guitar licks), an instrumental inspired by 
the local culture when he was in Japan, Free Mexican Airforce 
(a funny song about flying under the influence), lots of beautiful
ballads and cowboy songs.  He ended with Land of the Navaho.  Peter
played lots of fingerstyle guitar and I really like his singing. 
Peter is the lead vocalist on many of the Old and In the Way tunes.
The cover charge was reduced from last time since he was performing
solo - a pretty good show for $8.

Jim

    sure sounds like a typical Peter show...  :^)  
    
    except for one thing...  he came on before 9?????  what time was the
    show supposed to start??  if it was 8 or 8:30 that sounds more like
    Peter...  he has a reputation for always being late...  :^)
    
    the man is incredible...  he always plays guit with the finger picks...
    i don't know how he does it, they annoy me to no end on my fingers...
    awesome voice...
    
    i caught him with Jerry Douglas last time through at the OVK...  Jerry
    is widely considered to be the best dobro player in the world...  the
    two of them together are incredible...
    
    too bad he didn't do anything with his brothers...  they put on a great
    show too and often perfomr with him when he's in town...
    
    $8 to see Peter...  man, that's show money well spent...  :^)
    
    					da ve

The show was supposed to start at 8:30.  It was a different show 
without Jerry Douglas who I don't think anyone would question is 
one of the great dobro players.  With Jerry, the show had more 
jams - sometimes bordering on inciderary.  Solo, Peter was much 
more mellow.  Like you said, $8 well spent.

Jim

Thanks for the review, Jim.  Sounds like a real bargain.

I saw him at the OVK with Douglas - and later on with his
brothers at the same place....cool vocals...

Sorry I missed this one...

If only the clubs/police around boston were that 'cool'

    |If only the clubs/police around boston were that 'cool'
    
    Actually, I have an interesting Dublin police (Garda) story.  Angela
    and I were walking down Grafton St one evening that happened to be the
    end of the school term and tons of young'uns were swarming about. 
    Grafton St. is the big shopping area, and a pedestrian mall of sorts
    that reaches from almost the Liffey River to St. Stephen's Green (the
    central park).  Anyway, a couple of Garda are talking to a crowd of
    kids, probably in their teens, and they walk away from the kids towards
    us.  They notice us watching, so they approach us and mention that the
    kids had a bunch of beers in their coats, and being under age, they
    confiscated them.  They offered them to us, and we gladly accepted and
    went on our way.
    
    Gotta love that town.

one of the striking things in my visits to ireland and england
was the _lack_ of police presence.... here in the USA, everyday when i drive, i
have to be paranoid of the man waiting around the corner, radar gun
drawn, ready to pounce.  over there it was something one rarely
encountered, if at all!  and, not to stir The Gun Debate (tm), but
no cops have guns....!!!  readyl strange.  in IRL, you clear US customs
*in* ireland.. US customs guys in irl, no guns.  jump on the plane,
7 hrs later you're in boston, same customs guys, but waitaminnit, they
have guns!  
strange.

tour dates listed below from Percy Hill's latest newsletter (esquib) ...

We regret to have to inform everyone that our well intentioned plans
for launching the Brain Festival over Memorial Day weekend have been
officially thwarted. Time was just too short, despite a diligent
search by many of our friends to yield a suitable venue.
moe. apologizes if our premature announcement of the Brain Festival
has caused anyone any inconvenience or distress. Plans to bring you a
mind blowing show stopper of a festival remain under discussion, but
to try to pull it off by Memorial Day would mean sacrificing the
quality and value that moe. feels very stongly about providing
whenever and wherever we play. And, of course, we do have a full 
summer schedule ahead. See y'all at Further.

Wow, I had quite the opposite experience when I visited Northern Ireland
for a work trip a few years ago... heavily armed and armored police presence 
was heavy duty, but what was really irritating were the soldiers cruising the
streets in armored vehicles, full army gear, mounted machine guns, and on and
on.

Sad...

    Having gone to the Earth Day festivities for the last couple of years,
    here are a couple of pointers.  
    
    If you would like to check out the exhibits and vendors, arrive early.
    They have a few goodies that run out pretty quick - last year we got
    mouse pads, chocolate milk, camera film, etc.
    
    If you arrive by the red line after the music starts, there is an
    incredible jam of people trying to get across the walkway from the
    red line station to the Hatch shell.  Took us an hour a couple of 
    years ago.
    
    Note: if you leave via the red line - the first stop back into Cambridge 
    (Kendall Square) is the Cambridge Brewing Co.
    

    \
    Break out them cycles!!
    
    Anyone know the hours of Earth day show/Schedule.

    ...hope everyone else in here gets lucky with some killer seats this 
    summer...         Ross

    Killer seats available Saturday at Tammany...
    any body else (besides me) wanna go?
    
    /b

just got word from moe.'s sound-man that moe. will be
allotted a whopping 35-minute set to open each further
fest ... so basically you get one, maybe two songs ...
alright, maybe three ... don't get there late, or you
miss 'em ... check 'em out if you've never seen 'em !

a cooler show would be the "gathering of the vibes"
(formerly known as "DeadHead Heaven") ... happens on
June 21-22 in croton point park, croton-on-hudson, NY
(about a half hour north of NYC, near connecticut
border) ... can't go wrong with Strangefolk, Percy Hill
Ominous Seapods, God Street Wine, Max Creek, and many
other cool bands !  If you're up for going to this, let
me know ... we'll definitely be going ... maybe we can
all hitch a ride on Cathy Sloan's magic bus !

we'll be checking out Ronnie Earl tonight at the
sit'n'bull pub, feel free to stop by for a rockin good
time !  see ya there ! 
  

Don't think I'll make the Bull tonight.
I have class, then I have to meet w/ my
class team.  Tomorrow, i'm taking off to hike

MOOSILAUKE !

for the 5th time or so!

should be nice

	Goin' to DA Bull!!!    Aaaaaooooooooooowww!!!

    Was able tocatch only the first set at dabull last night...
    
    As I had heard, Ronnie is definitely in transition...  It's been
    clear for  awhile that he aspires to be more than "just" a 
    killer guitarist playing local clubs with a kick-ass blues band...
    He's been writing stuff with a different feel, some of which
    is more spiritual and jazz-oriented...  I loved the "old"
    Ronnie, and I'm still digging the "new" Ronnie, but I don't think
    he's fully reached his new stride yet...  or at least, to me,
    his new songs are still missing something; I'm looking for something
    more there.
    
    But I still had a very good time, he did a few of the old numbers
    just as ballsy and sensual as ever, and his new tunes tell me
    that he's going to evolve in interesting directions...
    Wish I could have stayed for the second set!
    
    I ran into Armand there; but I couldn't remember his name! The best
    I  could  come up with was "Ron!"  (*Sounds* like"Armand" ;-).
    Much to my chagrin, Armand remembered my full name.  And I got to
    meet Dave Todd, filling in yet another space in the circle!
    
    Ronnie Earl & the Broadcasters are playing SPAC at the Newport
    Jazz Festival this summer, and the Rockport R&B Festival at Fort
    Adams (Newport) in July...  Be There!
    
    /bruce

made the trek to maynard, with no directions on how to get to
sit'n'bull ... figured we'd find a cool pub to throw some darts
in awhile, then find the sit'n'bull ... ended up running right
into sit'n'bull ... dart boards, but Ronnie Earl & Broadcasters
had already hit the stage ... 

cool show !  haven't seen Ronnie in at least five years ... we
did see him make a guest appearance with the Allmans once, and
i can't remember who the third guest was ...

i'd have to check, but I'd say this show happened around summer
of 1987 at the orpheum theatre in boston ...it was my first
Allman Brothers show, and during the second set, the Allmans
were joined by Ronnie Earl, Luther Guitar Junior Johnson, and
a third guitarist, whose name slips my mind ... anybody go to
this show ?  
 
Ronnie & crew delivered a fine blend of soulful blues and a
rockin good time !  good time had by all !

    	i agree with the person that said that ronnie was in
    	a transition stage... i saw him 2 weeks ago at the bull
    	and he was definitely not in kick ass mode...
        his style reminded me alot of eric johnson, who i like
    	alot, but not as bar music, just too damned relaxing and
    	mellow for that scene.

I was thinking of leaving my kids there!  

And Armand, I meant no camping at my bro's!  It does look like
camping is allowed at the site.  (And thanks, by the way, for the 
DMB tape (or maybe, DM-A(coustic))  Interesting, but I'm not sure 
how I feel about it just yet.  Needs a few more listens...)

But wouldn't kids be allowed??

PeterT

>But wouldn't kids be allowed??


	yes, but wouldn't it be more fun without 'em?!?

Subject: Official Merry Danksters Release

The Merry Danksters
A spoof on Ken Kesey's Merry Pranksters, brings the
Danksters for a week long musical feast in the east!

David Gans, host of the nationally syndicated program The Grateful Dead Hour,
is on the road as leader of the The Merry Danksters this June. The Danksters
will run Tuesday, June 3 through Saturday, June 7. Towns soon to be painted
day-glo are (in order): Asbury Park, NJ; New York City; Albany, NY;
Burlington, VT; and Boston (see dates below). The Merry Danksters include
members of moe. (Sony 550 Music), Yolk, Ominous Seapods, Gibb Droll, Moon
Boot Lover, Strangefolk, Freebeerandchicken, and the Gordon Stone Trio.
Members of the aforementioned acts will each perform a thirty-minute acoustic
set, alternating from night to night, concluding with a performance by Gans
with Chuck Garvey of moe. on guitar and Dave Ruch of Acoustic Forum on mandolin

In 1985 Gans became the host of a Bay Area radio show, The Grateful Dead Hour.
He has transformed it into his own nationally syndicated program; today it airs
weekly on more than 85 stations. In 1985 he also had two books published:
Playing in the Band: An Oral and Visual Portrait of the Grateful Dead,
co-authored with photographer Peter Simon (St. Martin's Press); and Talking
Heads: The Band and Their Music (Avon). A compilation of his interviews with
Grateful Dead members, Conversations With the Dead (Citadel Underground),
came out in 1991. His latest book, published in 1995, is Not Fade Away: The
Online World Remembers Jerry Garcia (Thunder's Mouth Press).

In 1988 Gans made his professional recording debut on a track for avant-weird
guitarist Henry Kaiser's CD, Those Who Know History Are Doomed to Repeat It.
Gans played lead guitar and sang lead on the previously unrecorded Grateful
Dead nugget "Mason's Children." Since then he has collaborated on a number of
projects with Kaiser, including the 1996 anthology The Music Never Stopped:
Roots of the Grateful Dead, which they co-produced. A different mix of
"Mason's Children" also appears on Eternity Blue, a Grateful Dead tribute
album Henry Kaiser released following Jerry Garcia's death in 1995. Gans also
plays acoustic guitar on "Brokedown Palace" on that CD.

After 25 years in and around music, radio producer/journalist/author/musician
David Gans has released his first album, with partner Eric Rawlins. Home by
Morning, produced by John Lumsdaine, includes seven original songs by Gans,
three by Rawlins, and two covers: "Green Eyes" by Kate Wolf and "Yellow Moon"
by Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter.

The dates are:

June 3  The Saint  Asbury Park, NJ  8:00pm  18+

June 4  Wetlands Preserve  NYC  8:00pm  All Ages

June 5  Valentines  Albany, NY   9:00pm  18+

June 6  Club Toast  Burlington, VT  9:00pm  18+

June 7  Middle East  Boston, MA  9:00pm  18+

.

They're starting to post this all over the place - might want to look into
picking up tickets ahead of time ?  sounds like one excellent weekend !

Percy Hill's web page says that they'll be playing saturday at 1:30 PM and
lists Strangefolk, Charlie Hunter Quartet, Moon Boot Lover, New Brown Hat,
Zen Tricksters, Soma, and Max Creek as other bands joining them that day,
with From Good Homes, Ominous Seapods, God Street Wine playing on sunday.

From:   "[email protected]" "The Gathering of the Vibes"
To:     The Gathering of the Vibes <[email protected]>

Greetings everybody.

We have a few new artists that we're adding to our Gathering of the Vibes
lineup. For those of you not familiar with the Gathering, it will be held
on the longest day of the year, the Summer Solstice, June 21 & 22 in
Westchester County, NY. This year's venue, Croton Point Park, is located in
Croton-on-Hudson, NY, right on the Hudson River. It is just a short drive
from NYC and Albany.

We're really excited to announce that Warren Haynes of Gov't Mule will be
performing a rare solo acoustic set. If you've ever seen Warren play,
you'll know that this will be incredible! Also joining us will be an
absolutely awesome dance & drum ensemble from Vermont called Jeh Kulu. They
will be doing a stage show as well as a processional to kick off the Sunday
morning festivities. Some of you may have seen them at the Clifford Ball
last year and they are not to be missed! If you're into jazz, you won't
want to miss Kevin Hays, either! Kevin has played with all the jazz greats
including Sonny Rollins, John Scofield, and Joshua Redman (among others)
and is getting ready to release his third CD on the Blue Note label with
the ledgendary rhythm section Jack DeJohnette and Ron Carter.

We look forward to Gathering together again like we did at last year's
Deadhead Heaven festival. Those of you who were there must remember the
incredible energy flowing through the crowd the entire weekend. Those of
you who weren't, don't miss it this year!

Order your tickets soon, we're getting a great response and unfortunately
don't have as much room as we did last year! If you have any questions,
give one of us a call at Terrapin Tapes and we would be glad to help.

The following is the confimed lineup for this year's Gathering of the Vibes:

Strangefolk                    Charlie Hunter Quartet
Warren Haynes Solo Acoustic    God Street Wine
Max Creek                      Zen Tricksters

>anyone thinking about going out friday afternoon?

I am.  Depends on the band schedule.  I think I'd prefer going out there
early on Friday and leaving Sunday evening.

adam

	i don't work on Fridays anyways, so yep - I'll be headed out on
	Friday...

i'm planning on heading down fryday night ... you can reserve a spot
on the lawn for an extra $7 fryday camping fee and be there for the
opening act saturday morning  (i think they start around 11:00 AM)

it'd be grate to gather some friends and head down together -
strength in numbers !  the more the merrier !  party straight thru
the weekend !  

we'll find some way to mark our spot  (how did everyone find each
other at clifford ball last year ?  was there a big dec flag ?) so
those who can't make it down til saturday can find us and join the
fray !

deb and i got to the 'Ball first.
I called um, Rich Fromm's answering machine in Cal and left
him a message describing where we were.  he found us.

and i think he posted a note in grateful.

worked out well as we had about 10-15 decheads in our
area...

for the grate went, again i will be there early.
i'll get a cool spot.
i'll probably have a cellphone by then and i'll call deb
at home and she can play "central base" for folks to call
for direx or something.

Saw them up at the Rynborn not so long ago.  Lot's o Fun!

Check out the June 7 "merry danksters" show at the middle east in cambridge
and you'll get to see Chuck Garvey from moe. jam an acoustic set with David
Gans ... throw in acoustic sets from Strangefolk, Gibb Droll, and Gordon
Stone, and we're in for a treat !   Strangefolk, strangely, is pretty folky
anyways, so their acoustic set should be grate - they have a huge following,
very upbeat fans ... Gibb Droll has a fantastic bass player, not sure if the
entire band will be at this show, but we've seen Gibb Droll back up Percy
Hill and the bass player came out to jam with them - excellent !   Gordon
Stone has played banjo on a few tunes on albums by that 'ph' band ... no,
i'm not talking about percy hill - the other 'ph' band ...

Yes, I heard about this from the Platiation Club's web page.  This will be
the opening night in their "reggae sunday" series.  I have my
housemate/landlord to thank for introducing me to Yellowman.  I will be at
this show!

adam

    They are selling advance tix for Yellowman...  $8.  tix at the door will
    be $10 or $12 (I forget). the rest of the shows will be $5...

    i will give in 

This week David Gans and many friends are doing a five-gig
acoustic tour through new york & new england - tour dates
posted in note 79.552  -  we'll be checking out the show
this saturday at the middle east in cambridge - highly
recommended show ! 

Just got a few reviews of last night's show in new jersey -
sounds like a grate time had by all !  Thought i'd include a
few posts here, for your pure reading enjoyment:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

From:    Andy Navarro 

David Gans, Chuck Garvey (moe.) & Dave Rauch (acoustic forum)

Listen, Uncle Pen, American Family, Jackaroe, Caroline,
Diamonds On The Soles, Jacqueline, The Minstrel, Rocket Man

Encore: End Jam with all players
She belongs to me, Goin Down The Road Feelin Bad, Harder They Come

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

From:    Brian Hirschfield 

This was a really great time, I cant say enough how glad I was to have
gone.  Met a lot of cool people, and saw some great music!

Gibb Droll:  this guy is UNBELIEVABLE!  Where the heck has he been hiding?
I was totally in awe of his guitar prowess through his entire set!  A very
nice guy too.

Seapods (Tom and Max): They played a real nice set.  Max is a really great
guitar player, no doubt! 

Peter Prince: Barely listened to him, but he's a raging lunatic.  He seems
like the comic relief of the bunch, hes an extrovert to the nth degree.

Chuck, Dave, and Dave:  What a pleasure to see this trio!  David Gans was
the leader.  He is an exceptional singer, songwriter, and guitar player.
Dave Rauch was formidable, and he got to show how good he was on guitar
for a song too.  And then there was Chuck. Chuck was having a lot of fun,
enjoying the experiment.  I thought his best moments were during jackaroe.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

From:    Carol A Wade

Pete from Moon Boot was frickin' fabulous, too...he played a mostly
self-composed set of often touching, mostly soul-ridden and quite
hilariously fun tunes. Amasing how a really obtuse and bald white dude
can sound so AMAZINGLY like Al Green (who is not a bald, half-psychotic
and obtuse white dude, last I checked). The man loves his soul and
funk, though...I look forward to his hijinks tonight...

The Seapods dudes were on when I arrived, after getting a FLAT TIRE on
the way there (but being rescued not moments later by the kind technicians
at...get THIS!...Moe and Moe's Used Tires and Auto Body, in Jersey City!).
They played one of their own (Blackberry Brandy) and a Morphine tune (Cure
For Pain). It was pretty cool.

Chuck, Dave (Ruch) and David Gans were the sunny highlight of the evening.
What a fresh and spirited combo they make, all very eager to bounce offa
one another, and just sit back and kick some styles. Dave (on Mandolin)
had a really crisp and brisk mando sound, really nice, and he threw down
great solos. At one point (on the wonderful rendition of that Paul Simon
tune...I think?) Dave and David switcheroo'd, and Gans humbly gave us the
"Zen Mandolin Solo" (what is the sound of no strings strumming?). It was
real funny.

The end jam was PHENOMENAL! Since me and my pal Nile got there an hour
late (after "snake turn around the traffic circle," encountering local
yokels in every crevice of Asbury Park telling us the wrong way to go, and
looking for Bruce Springsteen), we MISSED Gibb Droll. This guy is funxin'
phenomenal. Chuck was taking it decidely easy, and being sheepish and
(unrightfully so) modest as usual. Hopefully he'll put a sock in it an
rock our booties into the ionosphere by tonight or Thursday...

Subject: the merry danksters wetlands appearance 6/4

hey all, i just got back from wetlands, and before i collapse, i wanted to
post the setlists, well, actually, only two of the very many sets tonight
at wetlands from the merry danksters.

the show was wonderful, gibb droll, peter, al., chuck, dave the mandolin
player, and david gans, and of COURSE tom and max from the seapods!!!!!!
i wish murky currents (tom and max for those on the out) had more time to
play--- tom didn't get to sing any of his songs despite the threat of
physical violence.  but at wetlands on the 14th he will sing damnit!!!!!

al. had this techno-moe. thing going, it was absolutely brilliant, i loved
every minute of it.  he had two drum machines, a strobe light, and him on
acoustic, and he rocked hard with his bad self.  it was superterrific.

gibb droll was incredible, he did 'all blues' which hooked me, i must admit.
and peter was hysterical and really reat, and everyone had a great time in
light of the fact that there was desperate need for a teleprompter and sheet
music at times.  enough tomfoolery, here's the two setlists i wrote down.

murky currents (tom and max of the seapods):
blackberry brandy, sunrise, enlightened rogue, flying clouds
john henrys (tp rocked this one HARD with a sicko bass solo)
cure for pain,  *dead flowers
*with david gans, and dave the mandolin player.

techo-al. (it was like dr. rythym was right there on stage with him):
moth, st. augustine, trace (i think that's the name. it's a sunvolt cover.)
she sends me (not mmmmbop), what will the children think

the merry danksters will be in albany thursday night at valentines, and
then at club toast in burlington on friday, and then on saturday in boston.
GO SEE THEM!!!!!!

AND COME SEE THE OMINOUS SEAPODS AT WETLANDS ON SATURDAY JUNE 14th!!!!!!! YOU
SHANT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!!!!!!

* No food or drink (except water) can be brought into the festival area.
  There will be great food, beer and soda inside that won't be expensive.

* Don't bring your pets -- no pets will be permitted into the park.

* Swimming is only permitted at the beach and not in the river near the
concert field.
  There are strong currents in this part of the river, and it is extremely
dangerous.

* People who camp will not be able to leave the park after 9pm.
  (We can't have cars driving around after dark).

* Please don't do anything that may get you (or us) in trouble.
  We want to be welcomed back! :)

* Have a good time!!!
