RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAGE!

    it's going to be nice to see folks.  everything feels so fragile 
    now.
    
    

    
    this starts at 8:30 tonite?  are we expecting SRO??
    

>    this starts at 8:30 tonite?
	Yes, 8:30
	
>  are we expecting SRO??

	No, there's no opening band.   ;-)  ;-)

	well, as a NRPS show, it was excellent.
	but, the band seemed a little confused on the Jerry tribute part.
	
	;-)
	
	still, a grate time, if not a little short.
	
	

I thought some of the audience was a bit noisy & loud when Marmaduke was 
trying to lay down his respect for Jerry.  But then again, its da Bull, I 
guess.  The sound also was not good and it was distracting the band.

Parts of it seems a little sad to me - I mean, why would Marmaduke grab his
two bandmates and fly all the way from Marin to the Sittin' Bull to play
to a very small crowd?  Would he have done that had Jerry not died?

Josh

	Yeah, it was a bit loud in there. and the sound system was
	causing the band fits!
	
	NRPS is on the road. Ted made up the "Jerry Garcia Tribute show"
	part. I think it was a scam to fill the place on a moanday nite.
	It was just another show in another town to them (as it looked to
	me).

NRPS was ok.
I loved the old stuff.
Newer stuff, well.... i'd rather see Bluestime or even Pousette-Daht. 
ie, there's been better "old bands" at the bull than NRPS
all in all, good time 'cuz there was lot of decheads!

    
    	I too was confused about the "Jerry Garcia Tribute" part. But, I
    like the way the guitarist did those pedal sounding steel licks on his
    Strat!
    
    	Joe

re <<< Note 477.19 by ELESYS::JASNIEWSKI "Your mind is in here and mine is also" >>>

Me too!  It was neat to watch "how he do dat?" from the front-center
table I had.  Where were you sitting/standing?

 Josh

	Josh,
	
	was that you taping?

    I saw the Riders at the Bottom Line in NYC last week and they claimed
    they learned 3 dead songs for their Japanese shows,since those people 
    never got to see the Dead.I have a hard time believe the Japanese have
    been waiting all these years for nrps,times must be slow. The early
    show was less than 1/2 full and after the show ,Rusty was selling tee
    shirts and tapes.In the old days when the riders played ny the shows
    were always great and always sold out at theaters not clubs.Times sure
    have changed

    
    I liked the hillbilly sound of NRPS but craved drums, bongos and
    bass...not to mention, a steel guitar would have been fantastic.

yeah, that was me taping.  haven't checked the sound on the tape yet but I
don't think it will be very good.

re -.1, I wouldn't say the current NRPS has a hillbilly sound, more like (as
they themselves said) "country rock"!  :-)

 Josh

I had a great time myself, but I thought the show was more a nostalgic than 
 musical triumph.  There was no "bottom" and no "steel."  Dawson seemed 
really spaced out when I talked to him later.  And the "Garcia" tribute 
seemed thin too.  The explanation that they were on the road anyway and 
willing to go with Ted's billing makes sense.  But hey -- the friendly 
venue, great beer and burgers (anchor steam!) and hearing "Panama Red" made 
for an enjoyable night.

Oh, and one question.  What was the song Dawson said they couldn't do 
because someone else is out touring with a new version and he didn't want 
'em mad at him?  I thought somehow he meant "Friend" but then they played 
it.  I asked him later and he said he didn't remember saying anything like 
that.  

For NRPS fans, he said they didn't play "MaryLou" cuz the band didn't know 
it!  (4 chords???)

	i remember dawson talking about a song they couldn't do, but i
	didn't catch the name. and yeah, dawson did look very spaced.
	looked like the road (among other things) had been taking it's
	toll.

    
    re- Toll taking
    
    Perhaps it was the Panama Rad?

I don't remember the song Marmaduke was talkin' about but I do distinctly
rememeber him saying someing about "Nelson's band".  That would be Dave Nelson,
ex-original NRPS member, and a member of the Jerry Garcia Acoustic Band
(the one that played Broadway in 87 and had the CD out).

 Josh

    
    	Josh - I was way in back by the pool table - I missed ya!
    
    	Joe

    he WAS spaced .. i saw him on the deck in a dark corner during 
    intermission :-) 

Hmm, in a dark corner on the deck ... maybe GETTING spaced :-)

... so Dave Nelson is still playing out.  The song in question then 
probably was a JGAB tune.  We'll never know what we missed.  Thanks all for 
the replies.

    Dave Nelson's band is called Dead Ringers....
    
    

Hmm, a tribute band for the other Nelsons? OK, very cold I admit.  "Dead Ringers" is a 
grotesqe name ... but do they play around here? :-)

    
    	I saw them a few years ago at the Old Vienna....They said they were 
    practicing for when the dead stopped touring......They seem to be made 
    up partly by New Riders folks....
    
    

I get the Old Vienna flyer every month & I'll watch for 'em.  I'm going 
down to get "100 Yr Hall" at lunch ... see if I can get any NRPS.  I found 
my vinyl "NRPS" and "Powerglide" this weekend ... sure would like to have 
them around again.  I don't think finding CD's of NRPS will be easy, but i 
think M-duke said they were available.

  NRPS is available; don't see Powerglide.
  
  When I looked NRPS up in Schwann, listed right before them is a group
  named New Potato Caboose.  (?)  They have an album, "Promising Traveler".
  - Jay

Damn, PowerGlide isn't available?  Well, I can haul out the turntable and copy it to tape.  
rockit in Nashua had both NRPS and Best of, so I got NRPS.  They also had a whole lot of 
excellent used CDs at prices that had 'em leaping off the rack into my shopping cart ... and 100 
Yr. Hall, too.  And my 6-yr-old daughter is now into The Eagles (learning all the lyrics ... I 
catch snatches of her singing "Witchy Woman" and "Tequila Sunrise" to herself), so I got Best of 
and Hotel California in the used lot for her.

in San Francisco...
