Gimme Some Neck

Gimme Some Neck is the third solo album by English musician Ronnie Wood, released in 1979. It was a minor hit and his best performance on the US charts to date, peaking at number 45 on Billboard during a 13-week chart run. The album artwork features illustrations drawn by Wood, with his self-portrait in the centre of the front side.

To tour the United States in support of the album, Wood formed the New Barbarians with musicians including Keith Richards, Ian McLagan and Bobby Keys, all of whom contributed to the recording. The Landover concert from this tour was recorded and released as Buried Alive: Live in Maryland in 2006.

...5-4-79 Wow!! 40 Years ago goes by quickly, it was great to see Brent in his first East Coast GD show in Charlotte (had seen Brent with Bobby the year before as part of the Bob Weir Band)

I had called the box office and mailed them $21 for 3 tickets. Since I was from out of state and they agreed to hold the tickets while waiting for my money to arrive...the person at the box office was shocked that someone from 650 miles away would want tickets and even though they said you need to buy the tickets in person at the box office, they agreed to the odd transaction.  $7 tickets, those were the days!

Some local radio station was giving out buttons outside the show - below is the button and my ticket stub:

Did the Dead announce the addition of Brent Mydland before Spartan Stadium or did people just show up wondering who the new band member was going to be.

I remember seeing that SF Chronicle very small blurb that Keith and Donna had departed the band (someone posted it on the internet, I didn't see it when it came out) weeks after the 2/17 show

?

I have a vague recollection that we knew the new guy had played in Weir's band, but of course in 1979 announcements were not as immediate and obvious as they are in the instant information age we live in now.

Is now better?

BTW, spring of 1979 was a great time for the GD, as was really all of '79.

IMO.

Is now better? I don't know what that means. 

I was seeing shows when Vince was announced as the new keyboard player 3 weeks after Brent died, on the hotline and MTV. I was 8 years old when Brent was hired so that's why I was asking

I think he's asking whether or not the 'instant information' age is better.. 

 

Fwiw I asked a similar question in the "Brent" thread. Also wondering if Merl Saunders was considered to replace Keith since Jerry was playing with him in Reconstruction around the same time. (after having Keith and Donna in Jerry Band 76-78)

 

I know greg, thanks, it was a totally irrelevant comment to what I was asking

>>>it was a totally irrelevant comment to what I was asking<<<

I answered your question the best I could before I became irrelevant.

"Also wondering if Merl Saunders was considered to replace Keith"

The answer is no, they needed someone who could do high harmonies.

Good point and I hadn't thought of that. That totally makes sense. 

 

I was seeing shows when Vince was announced as the new keyboard player 3 weeks after Brent died<<

I went to a rehearsal and a cast-mate told me she had seen the news on the Times Square news zipper.

Her:  Some guy from The Tubes?

Me:  That doesn't sound right.

Some might say it never did.smiley
