charlestinator, I agree with you about the deep end video. There's some good moments and some insight into the Mule but I think Mike Gordon likes seeing himself in his own movies a bit too much. I thought it would be more a tribute to Woody and it ended being Mike babbling about God know what most of the time. Neel is great. I think Blue Floyd really got under alot of peoples radar a few years back. Marc Ford, Berry Oakley Jr on bass, Woody on guitar, Matt Abts and Johhny Neel playing all Pink Floyd sets in small clubs . It was amazing. It surprises me how many people never heard of it. Woody and Johnny and the rest hung out in the bar after the show at the bottom line, another defunct or soon to be NYC club. It was so cool. I miss those small shows. Anyone remember the Mule at Irving Plaza ? 97-00 or so. Always right in the middle of the beacon run. I remember Jack Pearson, Derek, Oteil, Duane Betts , Bernie Worrell all jamming into the early hours with Warren and of course Woody shaking the building with that bass. Tobacco Road , now that place closing was a real shame. Marc Ford, Derek, Robert Randolph, Garth Hudson , Bernie Worrell, Audely Freed, Mike Farris, the Radiators after their outdoor show got rained out. Post beacon jams...... It will be missed. The Wetlands still gets mentioned but TR was better. No political agendas, and the beer was cheap and cold ! Pretty soon it seems we'll only be able to see shows in sterile clear channel venues, unfortuntatly.
