New Years Shows
Forums:
Going to the Motet tonight at the Crystal, Spafford tomorrow at the Get Down, and Karl Denson at Revolution Hall on NYE. Watched the first night of Phish at MSG last night and will probably squeeze in a replay of more Phish and/or a Billy Strings show or two.
What shows are you going to or seeing?

The Motet is always fun, use to party w/ Joey Porter back when he lived in Corvallis.

So far, watched Lespecial
So far, watched Lespecial opening for Umprhey's, Never heard them before, but people rave about them. Power trio that sounds Primus. Really trippy.
Then watched the first half of Billy Strings. The boys were dressed like they just stepped off a river boat and played an old timey set.
Then went to the Crystal for the Motet, which was good as usual, but the opening band Too Many Zooz was interesting. Just a rumpet, sax, and one man marching band drum kit. High energy and lots of noise from a very stripped down ensemble. Guess they got their start busking in the New York subway. Can't imagine how that would sound in a subway platform.
Spafford tonight but will probably watch the Phish sometime today.

I've been watching videos of the Bari sax player for years, usually in the NY subway, fun music, and some of his dance steps are pretty amazing considering the uniqueness in both playing and prancing! Didn't know they made it out west, would have been fun to see!

Jerry's Middle Finger is an
Jerry's Middle Finger is an decent ambassador of Jerry music. I like the fact that they play extended renditions of the catalog so it creates a realistic JGB "environment." Very immersive, at least in the barn-like Felton Music Hall.
The lead guitar guy impersonates (In a good way) Jerry's playing well. He's got the tone and accents down. I think the best part of the band is the way he is intuitively locked into the bass player. He also sings lead and though he doesn't really have that nasal Jerry voice (maybe because he doesn't constantly coat his throat with tobacco and coke) -- the guy is giving it his all on every tune. In fact my only "complaint" is that he's a little too fresh and clean cut -- I like my Jerrys looking and sounding like they just rolled outta bed.
The bass player is impressive and glues the whole mix together. And the two women back-up singers sound especially good together (Melvin might want to steal them because they do a really good job). I didn't pay attention to the drumming too much but people were throwing down, so that's a good sign. The organ was the weakest link of the ensemble -- it sounded a little light -- the guy played Melvin well but what came out of the PA didn't have the authority and the depth as the original, maybe because of the the lack of a real B3 and Leslie.
If the price is right, they are worth checking out. Good way for oldsters to reminisce and younguns to get a taste of what it was like.

[1] Unfinished.
[2] Jo Lampert on additional vocals.
[3] Annie Golden on additional vocals.
Tube contained teases of the theme to The Mary Tyler Moore Show. Harpua was unfinished. During the Harpua narration, a bed appeared from beneath the front of the stage, with an actor playing Jimmy and a puppet version of Poster Nutbag. Trey talked about some of the Harpuas of the past 40 years, then interrupted the song before the “I want a dog” lyric. Trey said Jimmy had lacked a strong female influence over the years, and introduced actress Annie Golden as Jimmy’s grandmother. While consoling Jimmy, she told him it was time to tell the truth about the owner of Harpua. After telling Jimmy that the old man had given the puppet to Esther and helped Reba make liquid meat, a book was brought forth, and a glowing rhombus rose to frame the entire stage. The band then began the first performance of the Gamehendge saga since July 8, 1994, with Golden and Trey providing the narration and performers acting out the parts of Colonel Forbin, Rutherford, the AC/DC Bag, Tela, Errand Wolfe, and the Sloth. The Multibeast and McGrupp were also performed by puppets. Tela performed acrobatics on wires during her song, with Jo Lampert (as Errand Wolfe) providing additional vocals during Wilson. Colonel Forbin ascended the rhombus during Colonel Forbin’s Ascent, and a large Famous Mockingbird puppet flew over the crowd during Fly Famous Mockingbird, which also featured Annie Golden on additional vocals. Before Melt, Trey asked Jimmy’s grandmother if she knew that the mountain was a volcano, and the Lizards reappeared to dance to the ensuing Melt jam, eventually leaving the stage one by one as the rhombus was lowered again.

Phish just proved that they are greatest live band on the planet again last night at YEMSG.
Last nights' show will probably secure a spot in the top 5 all time ever Phish concerts list.
If you know about GameHenge than you know what a big deal last night was.

I enjoyed watching the fan videos of the MSG show this morning. They absolutely lose their shit on harpua with no idea of what's to come. And then it all unfolds in perfect madness. My 16yo son noted "I think you have to be on hallucinogenics to fully understand what's going on here"
