I spoke with Mark Karan about him last night. I did not like what I heard. On a positive note, Mark and Pevar ripped a couple Floyd sets for us and i was pleasantly surprised
I'm sorry, it's ambiguous enough that there isn't really actual "news" to share(and if it's true or not..) but it was mostly the tone are sentiment expressed during the convo that made me sad
The high watermark of the post GD was when Ratdog and Phil & Friends were crisscrossing the country. Small venues, intimate shows, multiple tours per year, ah those were the days. I hope Bobby shakes it up and pulls another rabbit out of his hat.
Fabes, a highlight for me was when Phil did a book signing at Philly library and Ratdog was playing same night at the electric factory. Everyone was hoping for Phil to show up but he didn't. Good times with Northeast crew!
I'm sad, yet comforted because it seems very appropriate, that Sugar Mag was possibly/probably the last "Bobby song" played (at a show) -- in San Francisco, in Golden Gate Park, in front of thousands of appreciative dancing freaks. Pure Bobby.

But that was 15 years ago, so it may be old news.

That actually made me laugh!
I do get curious about who Mayer will replace him with.
Not that curious, though.
