I’ve e-mailed “Service” a couple of times over the course of the past month regarding broken download links…received a quick “Hmm, that’s weird…I’ll check into it” after the first e-mail, didn’t hear anything, e-mailed again and have received nothing. Download links for Grand Rapids, Madison, and Ridgefield (all ’04) still non-functioning. Oh well… 🙄
Thanks for the reviews…
I know that the next statement will be shared amongst many on this board but here goes…I wish that I was there. 😆

Yeah Judy, great pics. Enough with the unneeded modesty!
Didn’t JT have his Howard Hesseman thang going on that night? 😆
A few weeks later I saw Seal Klum at the Grand…made me pine for the BH show. Seal’s a good singer and all, but…

Some of the ‘preview’ boxes don’t work, and there are a few ’04 and ’02 shows that you can’t download because the appropriate download boxes aren’t functioning either. However, the ones that do work download fine…
The only show I ever had a problem with (the download screen wouldn’t let me access the second download) was Gilford ’05 — I e-mailed and within a couple of hours I had my response and fixed link.
Lots of great shows on the site…I just wish that there were more!
Who is “SCKBSTD”?
Why did this poster name him/herself after a BH work?
What’s up with the sublimely stupid/self-parodic analysis of “Shadowhand”? (Especially when one can easily ascertain the lyrical meaning of said tune.)
Why does this poster only have one post, AND it was on 4/1?
Who’s zooming who, people? SCKBSTD, quit jerking us around…pun intended.
I’d love to see some more ‘interpretations’ of BH tunes, if you’ve got the, ahem, balls… 😆

Lizbeth —
You forgot “Spider Fingers>Tempus Fugit>The Good Life” and “Sun.Cat>Train To Cry>Cat.” Also, “Valley Road” was “regular” but with the “way out” unison chromatic melody line in the middle. That’s ok…I forgot that he did that little bit before “Big Rock Candy Mtn./Run.”
Yeah, it was apparent that BH was gently needling the management, both with the “Dance Party Revolution At The Grand” (as I call it 😆 ) that he verbally fomented from the stage at the beginning of “Cat.” He remarked on the anti-dancing ushers, as well as the lack of playing time (and how he would “push it”) numerous times. But he also said that he liked the place, and wanted to return, so he did another playful desecration (for the rut-stuck) of “Way It Is.”
Good place to see a show, sound was great, two vid screens on the right and left, the place looked almost full from where I was. Just a shame that the Grand are more interested in people losing money on the floor than they are seeing a smoking rock show. Hmmmm…maybe if the Grand knew that more people who like music and the perf. arts would be happier (and spend money later) maybe they’d relent on that show time limit idiocy.
Oh, and I take back any crap I gave people about Junior’s — I loved it! So let me be rightly chastened… 😆
T
So….scatological humor DOES have a place on this board! 😆
This event has the feel of Dilbert, mixed with the toilet scene (minus the drugs, that we know of) from “Trainspotting” and the Creosote portion of Python’s “Meaning of Life.” Throw in an absurdist French hottie, Buffalo’s art scene (who knew???), and the miasma is almost palpable…
Any more contributions to Western culture to share, Si?
T
Alright people, so is it Junior’s?
Do we have a time? A secret sign, walk, an arcane drink that must be ordered, or piece of attire that lets everyone else know when a Hornsby dweeb has entered the establishment? 😆

Pffffffffft. Californians….. (shakes head) 😆

As a Foxwoods newbie, I gotta say…what else is there? (Besides Junior’s, that is…) The better half’s been there for a food/broker/distrib. show, but now I forget where she ate. Does it have to be Jr?
Persuade me…And if you say “They have beer” that’s half of the battle. 😆
T
Where is the “Beacon”?
“The Beacon Theater” is in “The City.” Know what I mean? 😆
If you ain’t lived in the tri-state (CT,NJ, NY) or even some more metro parts of New England, you really don’t know, huh? (I’m laughing with ya, not at ya.)
I wouldn’t have referred to NYC as “The City” if I didn’t have a native Nu Yawkah as a better half…
T
Well hey, we gotta know about it first, know what I’m sayin’? 😆
I mean, it’s not like anyone on this board has a fully operative set of Hornsby-detecting antennae, right?
If I may assume…T
Thanks, Si! You are the best Site Admin EVER! And I rilly, rilly, rilly mean it
😆At the risk of revealing my dweebish semi-attention to detail, “Valley Road” also had a near full-blown jam on “Q&A” in the middle, to make it twice in the show for the Ornette tune.
“Rainbow’s” had a “Straight, No Chaser” intro, and “Defenders” got a Ravel intro…I’d not heard that particular Mo bit before, and can’t really remember…mid-tempo, perhaps a piano piece only.
I’ll leave you alone now, I promise

Lowell MA 8/14/08 is missing from the “amended” setlists…
Unless it was a mass hallucination, I’m pretty sure that it hap’d! T
I e-mailed JV a couple of days ago about the drummer question and he wrote back informing me that Moyes will be pounding the skins at Foxwoods. Apparently Sonny is doing drum clinics in Indonesia 😯 ! People from all around the world want Son Yemry to teach ’em how to play drums! 😆
I’m sure that Moyes will be a fine sub.; Googling him reveals stints with Larry Carlton, Solomon Burke, Steve Perry , and Keiko Matsui 😯 😆 ! He played with the NMs at Tampa…A.J. — I’ll send ya a pm as soon as I get my act together….

GuinnessGoon wrote:“They Love Each Other”….I feel that they picked a bad performance to showcase Bruce’s time with the Dead on that dvd. It was a lackluster performance and never really one of my favorite songs…Who knows Bruce may have still been doing ‘pop rock’ if he hadn’t met Jerry and played with the Dead.
It makes me wonder why Bruce often talks to the crowd as if most of them don’t really know half of the songs he is playing, but suspects most of them being there for the hits. I have heard him do it once in person but quite a few times on recordings.
So my take is that this clearly is not the crowd(atleast not on this board) to even bother talking about the Grateful Dead to or with….just as when I try and talk about Bruce on the Dead boards or the board at ratdog.org.
….two very similar worlds of music but the fanbases are in two very different leagues.Re.: “They Love Each Other” — I love that tune! 😆 Maybe because I’d never heard it prior to watching the “Intersections” dvd! Seriously…but agreed, there are other performances that could’ve been spotlighted that weren’t so laid back, shall we say.
(One aside, it’s quite revealing — based on watching most of the available Dead dvds, the effect BH had on the band, particularly Jerry and Mickey smiling and laughing with Bruce onstage — versus shows with Brent.)
Re.: Bruce still doing “pop” (the John Mellencamp/Dylan/REM “Americana” vein that he found himself in circa ’86-’89) — I dunno. He’s mentioned that in doing the tribute cds for artists — Elton, The Band, Keith J, Bill Monroe, The Dead — he tried to stick to artists who influenced him the most. Not to mention the “Camp Meeting” cd, with its covers of Ornette, Coltrane, Monk, Powell, Miles, etc. Plus his schooling at Berklee, then a jazz perf. degree at U Miami. I think that BH woulda met the Dead no matter what hap’d, performing with them is another issue entirely. But instrumental performance and ability has always been part of Hornsby’s bag, so it was probably just a matter of time that he began to find most conservative “pop confines” a bit too restrictive.
Re.: BH’s regard for his audience: I do know that it seems to thrill him when people, perhaps the more fanatical among us, submit challenging requests. Maybe BH just doesn’t wanna take his audience for granted, whatever portion of that audience that still exists that wants to hear “Mandolin Rain” or “Way” or “Look Out Any Window” or etc EXACTLY THE WAY THAT IT WAS RECORDED. (Whew. That hurt me just typing that… :lol:) I can empathize with the poor stuck-in-a-rut schmucks, but I ain’t wit’ ’em.
Re.: talking about the Dead: Don’t be like that, Goon. You, me, and Mike C (among others) can talk about the Dead here!
But I hear ya ’bout mentioning BH on Dead and RatDog boards…you either get a cyber sneer or they claim that BH was trying to steal the limelight (have they watched the dvds? Never in my life have I seen someone SO obviously happy to be onstage rocking out with a band he loved), was playing too loud, pissed off Kreutzmann, made Vince feel inferior, etc etc. Oh well…waddaya gonna do? T
Interesting — the amount of ‘Hornsby only’ fans, including the founder of the board!
I can empathize, but only to a degree. Never been what you might call a ‘Deadhead’ — in fact, I’ve spent my fair amount of time lovingly mocking my friends who were…but I think that that had more to do with the ‘followers in-group ideology,’ if you will. (Seeing the Phish phenom. take off in the early ’90s put that all in perspective…Phish phans were/are much more irritating, to be sure.) But I’ve always liked the Dead, sometimes more, sometimes less. And no, the amount of herbage consumed had nothing to do with the waxing and waning and waxing of my interest.
But the some of the waxing DID have to do with Hornsby joining…That said, I must confess that my fave Dead studio album IS “In The Dark.” 😆 Seriously. And I prefer the later shows — ’86 to ’92 — and yes, I’ve never listened to a show post-Hornsby.
So people, you owe it to yourselves to give the Dead another try — they are truly an original American popmusic force. As with getting into Zappa, sometimes it depends on where in the catalog you start…if you’re like a good number of us on this board, DO start with the later live shows, like the downloads or Dick’s Picks. Ya never know what you might happen.

Hey Sean —
To the best of my knowledge, “Lady With A Fan” does not exist on any Hornsby studio album.
Yes, it is a Dead tune, more commonly listed as “Terrapin Station.” “Lady” is the first part of the whole song.
I agree — it is a great tune.

…and oh yeah, it’s my and me better half’s 11th w. anniv. I forgot about that! 😯 😆 🙄
She ain’t exactly a BH fan, more of an ‘appreciator’ of his talent, shall we say…
(We didn’t need a sitter for Lowell, ’cause she stayed home with the kids, thus giving me one of my very, very few ‘guy nights out.’)So we need to factor that in, as well… I suppose. Heh.
T
It’s tempting, I gotta say…but from SE VT, it’s almost 3 hours…and we’d have to get a sitter, and stay overnight at, what, either the Grand or Fwoods? Hmmmm…
We’ll see. Boston area or Albany area is usually about as far as my cranky arse likes to drive. Can I get a Northampton? Pretty please?
Also…which guest drummer will be rocking the skins? From what I can determine, the Divine Miss M is still doing her “Showgirl Must Go On” extravaganza in Vegas, which means that Son Yemry will most likely be with her — correct?
T
I’m jealous of your Woodinville ’06 presence…that is a smoking show….
There are a couple of ’02 shows that I tried to snap up (SLC is one, Westbury the other) but the ‘buy’ button is not working for both…I did manage to get Kalamazoo ’02, which features some good bits, but in comparison to the later years, sounds slightly undercooked.
“Talk” from Portsmouth ’04 has some good jam? The rest of the set looked a bit liked some of the other shows, but it’s funny how one or two exemplary improvs and/or performances can make the purchase price worthwhile…here I’m thinking of the Nawlins and Austin ’05 shows. Both have moments that are just dynamite….
T
It’s definitely a fun show…with the band working a bit of rust off
Yeah, G. Goon, I noticed that “Rats” is missing…
Lessseee, what else…”White Wheeled Limo” has the “One Drink” tease, no “Long Black Veil.” “Little Sadie” at the beginning and midway thru…
“King O’ The Hill” gets “Q&A”‘d twice, once at the start and again a bit later…
“Innocence” gets its vox tweaked all over the place…
…and this “Sugaree” actually made my cranky visage smile.That’s as far as I’ve been able to listen. More fun ahead, I’m sure.
😆
