August 9th with Noisemakers only at the Orange Peel! Check it out! I had some form of ‘premonition’ this would happen! Noisemakers in Asheville Friday and then Atlanta on Saturday! Raleigh the Saturday before! Yea!
The tires are already rotated and the oil changed! Is it August yet?
The show goes on!!!
As usual…..Still havin’ a ball!

LL, GAI just noticed this on Facebook! I’ve never been to the Orange Peel – but how bad could it be? It’s going to be hard to beat the Biltmo’ in 2009 though…
Have you been there before? If you were only going to go to one show, would you pick the Botanical gardens in ATL or Orange Peel?
Heath
Nothing tops Biltmo’ but it looks like The Orange Peel will be the next best thing! The Baroness and I will be in attendance.
Dreadlock Dave,
I’ll send you my Biltmo’ Sho’ T-shirt so you can wear it there for me. Finances are snug, and it’s only due to the largess of a very generous SiB or BiB that I am able to make it to Raleigh. Request “Black Rats” for me!!

Hey Heath! Great question! Yes and yes!
The Orange Peel is a ‘music hall’ while Botanical Gardens is a beautiful outdoor venue. The OP will be more of a party atmosphere with Noisemakers only. ATL will be more of a ‘social’ atmosphere while OP anything goes. ATL you sit on the lawn, while OP you can dance. ATL will be a short set while OP will probably go on and on…..
To answer your question…..Both!
Wishing JV a happy birthday on this day!

AGREED!!!!!
NOTHING beats the Biltmo’ Sho’, but it looks like I’ll have to “settle” for Raleigh. Oh well. It IS three hours closer, and……. All my rowdy friends will be there!!Nice surprise about this shorter form. Can you tell us what it is you are talking/writing about?
Has any info. about this shorter form been posted before (and i just missed it)?PHRoberts, post: 8724 wrote:I just noticed this on Facebook!

I just saw John McLaughlin at the Peel (big crowd but not capacity=1050) last night, and after a cloudy 80ish afternoon and a little rain, it was still WARM inside, which is mostly cooled by fans (yep, this is the 21st century). Since I hate standing close to more hot people I hung out a bit in the exit breezeway which was much cooler and still has a long range view and good sound, but if you are not like me and have normal expectations for a concert, I would say ice yourself down for an August night. Fortunately, I don’t need to be anywhere near the stage to run on bh+nm power!
OMG!!! Was out on the island this evening! Suddenly, smoke signal coming from the north from Cherokee Nation!
Chief Big Talk sa…..’Must come see Bruce in Cherokee Nation at the OP!’ Sa, ‘OP will be better than Biltmore!’ ‘Don’t you miss this!!!’As I was standing on the beach on the island…..I couldn’t help but gather some wood and light a fire to reply! As the sun was setting and the cows were coming home….Another smoke signal from Chief Big Talk sa…..!!!
…..Still havin’ a ball!

If Bruce plays with a ‘back-up band’, Bruce normally only plays for maybe 90 minutes max. If Bruce is playing with NM’s only, you will normally get three hours of solid Bruce and NM’s only! Bruce will play till he gets ‘kicked off’ by the ‘powers that be’! OP will be Bruce and NM’s only! Get the picture?
Please let us know if your question was not answered!
Still havin’ a ball!

Hi David! I am trying to learn about the events pre-concert of NCMA. Could you fill me in – I will be arriving on Friday night so are all the events Saturday evening? Will there be time to go back to hotel to dress or come dressed for concert. Looking forward to meeting you! Alicia Holmes

OMG! I can’t believe this!!! Just got word!!! Don’t touch that dial!!! More to come on this as well!
Meet-up at one of Asheville’s finest micro-brews, now the bier capital on the globe!!!
Walking distance to the OP!!! More details, directions and website to come! Don’t touch that dial! …..Slight, slight chance that I may be able to stop by there on my way to the ‘rents house in Tenn. Think I could still get a ticket??

Don’t touch that dial! …..Do we want to put it to a vote or do you have a spot in mind to meet up? The Baroness and I are planning to have dinner prior to the show at Tupelo Honey, but if enough people from here are interested in a meet-up, we may do that instead. Here are the brewery/restaurants I found that are close to OP:
Barley’s Tap Room
Wicked Weed Brewing
Asheville Brewing Co.
Hi-Wire Brewing Co.
