wow lana, what grate pictures:bounce:
are those awesome, what a cool thing to do....what a vibe....:dance:
you know I used to have hair like those guys:freaked: that was some time ago though:laugh:
question, is oteil still playing the fender jazz bass:cool:
Being that I grew up in Minnesota, last night was my first show at Walnut Creek and the allmans rocked! I loved the setlist. It was very bluesy. The whole band was very tight. The weather was unbeliable also. It was miserably hot when I got in the car to drive to Raliegh at about 5 o'clock. It was beautiful when I got out of that car. From seeing Warren play acoustic in the parking lot before the show to Whipping Post it was a truly great night. Can't wait till next year. The sit-ins with Audley Freed and the guys from Galactic were kick ass.
Seeing the brothers is a time when you can forget about the everyday stresses of life.
Later.
friday nights show in charlotte was the best ive ever heard abb sound,Warren and Derek were right on time and Gregs voice never sounded stronger,.....Jimoe werked his ass off as well,......thanks for a magical evening.
.......p.s. Lana, if i hit the lotto, I will pay the curfew fine !! But Warren has to play at my birthday party, ala Jeff Spicoli !!
I'm a little slow this morning ... Let me get this straight ... Warren stood next to a van, w/ a guitar and microphone and played a mini acoustic set before the ABB show ? I just looked at the pics, and that's the conclusion I came to .... Now, where am I when this stuff happens ? Damn ..... Should I even bother checking my lottery ticket ? It was 120 million last nite, but I might have preferred hangin' out next to that van !! Good 'ol Sunday Morning to y'all ....
Forgot to mention, the show ran over curfew last night too. Poor us! 😉 Curfew was 11:00. Whipping Post began at 11:08.
mmmmmmmmmmmwah :kiss:,
Lana
Hi again :wave:,
Jamie Van De Bogert is the ABB's drum tech. He also techs for GA&F and used to play drums for them. Jamie and his wife Missy are peeps supremo!
Take care and know that you are loved,
Lana
Audley Freed and Ben Ellman jammed with the Brothers on two songs last night, as did Galactic's drummer Stanton Moore.
But what's the name of the guy - and I think he must be the band's drum tech cuz he leaned on the risers right behind Marc and Jaimoe all night - who sat in for Jaimoe on one of the cuts? Anybody know? Just curious for purposes of accuracy with the setlist - he was never introduced ...
"Worried Down With the Blues" was DA BOMB of the whole set, IMHO ...
Good mornin' sweet family,
Southpaw, your wish (sweeping bow) is my command. Check Aug 24 on the Calendar for pix of Warren's magnificent acoustic set yesterday.
I'll join the chorus of praises for last night's show. It was incredible! Gregg, Derek, Warren, Oteil, Jaimoe, Marc and Butch roared through song after song with such energy, finesse, spark, kick-ass full-tilt in your face, heart, mind and spirit great googely moogely jaw dropping hittin' their noteness that people were crying with joy - when they weren't dancing and cheering. :dance: :clapping:
We spent part of the show smack in between the lawn and reserved seats and were blown away at how completely locked into the music (and musicians) the audience was. Guitar solo! Yahh!!! Applause! Applause!! Drum solo! More cheers and applause!! Oteil!! Yessss! Applause! Organ! Whooo Yah!! *Every* moment on stage was a tour de force, greeted with blissful rapture. Uhhhh, in other words, you *might* want to get your hands on a copy of this show! :doh:
Also of note, the audience for this show was largely Bonnaroomers, the youngest demographic I've ever seen at an ABB show - a good thing! 🙂
Speaking of which, "Thank You!", everyone, for such a fun pre-party at the Mellow Mushroom yesterday! It was wonderful to get to meet and spend time with you ... and your children. They're soooo terrific! It was a joy to meet them! A special shout out to Sarah Everhart. Have you been having just a *teeny* bit if fun this week, Sarah? 😉
A special thank you to the folks at Alltel Pavilion too - for the poster to share on this site, for VIP Parking and Club passes for the fam', for a great sound system, beautiful grounds, groovin' lot scene, an amazing accounting team 😉 ... this cheer's for you: :mohawk:
What is it about Raleigh??? Come on over next year and find out for yourself! 🙂
Take care and know that you are loved,
Lana
Who was the 3rd guitarist to join warren & derek in raleigh 8/24?
Name & band please.
Good morning! Just back in from Lana, Shey, and Susan's house in Raleigh. Thanks, once again, to you lovely folks for your hospitality and love! I'm sorry I missed you today; I just hatched my plan last night to get back here and get ready for work. (WORK??? :freaked: )
I was up way too late with some troublemakers at the Hilton last night/this morning, but I do like Joe's comments about the Raleigh show. It was great to see Joe again, and SO many folks at the MM. What a fun time--even though we got there late. Lana and Shey, the VIP parking and club passes were great!
Did anyone else catch Warren's "It Don't Mean a Thing..." tease in Untitled last night? It was quick, but fun! I think last night was a more solid/tight show that Charlotte; let's see what's in store for tonight!
Someone mentioned about Oteil "dogging it," or something like that. Well, last night's setlist had some tunes that I LOVE to see him go off on--things like Stand Back, Black Hearted Woman, and I think he has fun with Untitled every night! But, "dogging it'? Not in MY opinion.
See a bunch of you at the Fish Camp in a few hours. I'm going to try and catch a few winks right now. Boy, that alarm going off at 4:30 tomorrow is going to... 😮
oh bring on the pictures:bounce:
o you whooo Lana....Queen of peach...:dance: time to wake up....
That other Warren solo acoustic song would be Beautifully Broken.
In order it was:
Beautifully Broken
Into The Mystic
In My Life
Was front and center for the whole thing. Lana got lots of digi pikx of it.
more to come.
hey gang good morning:cool:
Lovin the reviews, what a high:dance:
the golf cart tour, yes how cool:cool:
and thats how my nickname came about.... I played pitch til 23....:bike: I was very good, but very irresponsable,
ok just a misguided lunatic....:silly:
To all who made it to Raleigh, I hate it that I missed the party. Walnut Creek always rocks, however I will be damned if I miss Savannah. Anyone interested in a cold beer I'll be the "short, round man" with a smile for miles.
