Stone in Boston

So I went to go see Stone tonight at the Wilbur Theater. I was really surprised at the turn around. There was only maybe like 75 people there. It definitely made the show intimate. I was also kinda bummed at how short Stone's set was. He came on first (after two songs of the Roy Kay Trio) and played six or so songs and then the Dusty 45's came out and he played a Hank Williams song with them. The kid that Stone keeps talking about, Vince Mira came out and he played for over an hour. I give him credit he does sound identical to Johnny Cash, but it got old after five songs. I was hoping for another song with Stone or something at the end but he only came out to say goodbye.
There were great moments all around last night. Stone ended his set with Prince's "1999" and Motorhead's "Ace of Spades". Both were fantastic renditions and if anything 1999 just makes me want a Pearl Jam cover of Purple Rain more and more. (Maybe on the X-Mas LP?) The Dusty 45's surprised me the most. Having never heard of them I really wasn't expecting much, but after about a minute and a half you knew they were gonna rock! The singer played guitar and trumpet, the drummer played harmonica while drumming at the same time! And the up-right bass player was playing the frickin' thing upside down. Genius.

6 songs is pathetic for a four hour concert. honestly. im upset, but still excited to go I guess. was there any merch at all?
I'm going to the show on Saturday. While I'm not thrilled to hear Stone is only doing 6 songs, I can't be upset about it. It's not really a "Stone Gossard" event, as much as it's a benefit. I'm thinking that 6 songs is worth 20 bucks alone, and I'm always interested in getting turned on to new music. Plus, the money is going towards a good cause.
The Dusty 45's Are Amazing...I did leave there with their cd.
I think I may order it online. They rocked.

It was general admission, except for the bottom was for the planters, but not enough people showed up so we got to sit wherever we wanted.
Good to know. Gives me something else to look forward to.
STONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They didn't make us move, but told us the floor was opening up to everyone due to lack of people showing up. At that moment the front center table emptied and we grabbed it.

I think we were sitting near each other before you moved. I ended up moving to the little section to the left with the cheap fake candles haha
I was originally sitting in the front row on the balcony, by the aisle. Me, my fiance, and the 2 10C'ers behind us moved to the table.

I was a couple feet away from you guys haha. I was the kid with the white shirt and the Killer T. My gf was with me freezing her ass off haha
wow.
i bought tix to the brooklyn gig b/c a. only $20 a ticket and b. it's for a really good cause. however, i have been working like a dog and i am sick as a dog....and have been considering skipping the show b/c of these 2 factors b/c work will continue to be crazy for another week and a half and i could really use an entire weekend in bed! reading this makes me think i may just do that. i really did want to check out stone solo, but hubby wasn't as into it as i thought he'd be....i am so tired/sick.....and 6 songs? sheesh. i am sure the whole show is cool and all that, but yea, i was going for stone....so i may just look at it as a donation only, no biggie.
btw - i never got an email confirmation from 10c. it IS in my profile, but no email. i emailed 10c but they have not gotten back to me. did you all get an email confimration for the show? just curious.
Let's just breathe...

It is definitely a stress reliever....not to mention he comes on first so if you want to leave early thats your 20 bucks worth right there.
Yup, my fiance was shivering towards the end of the night too. Heh.
You were the ones right next to us in the front row on the balcony?

I checked out the scene a bit....looked around a few times. I'm sure I looked at you guys, but I probably wasn't paying attention.
Yeah, we went off on the MSG shows for a bit

Right on man...you and your cousin were also chill.
Tell your buddy to go screw, and come see us instead. I promise we'll play more PJ than them!
