i surprised the wifey with tix to see them in Philly this week....I only hope they make the show available for download afterwords so she can have it forever...she is totally pumped up and Thrs cant get here soon enough
I saw them back in 2006 at Hampton Beach and it was incredible. It was a 2 set 180min+ show and they were just awesome that night. It was at the end of May and within a week, I saw Pearl Jam, The Black Crowes, and Radiohead all do fantastic shows.
How was Luther Dickinson on guitar? He's growing as one of my favorite young guitarists now. I saw on CrowesBase that they closed the show with The Night They Drove Ole Dixie Down? I'm not a huge Band fan but the Crowes do the best covers of their stuff.
Luther was fantastic ... he's really feeling it. I worked my way up to about 10 feet in front of him for the night, and I'm a guitar player myself, so I'm pretty comfortable saying he was 'on.'
Lots of smiles between the band when he was working his stuff through.
Night and day from the Mansfield experience, isn't it? Same deal for me, the Crowes was my 'between' show ... what a blast.
elwayvedder, you guys won't be dissapointed. Slow, jammy, deep and groovy ... nice long set, beautiful encore. Pure joy
Haha. Actually the security there reminded me of the security/police in the lots at Mansfield. Security was going through the crowd looking for any opportunity to kick people out. They were picking on a group of teenagers in front of me for seemingly no reason.
Get to see them next thursday, SOOO pumped. General Admission, I plan on showing up around 2, I want that front row.
Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

There's a constant ringing in my ears
Sense of humor's void and numb
And I'm bored to tears.......
