Anybody on here go? I hear it was quite soggy.

The larger portion under the roof was just about full but clearly the show sold short of expectations. I think the clear problem is Tedeschi Truck Band is WAY overpriced. Now, I get they have a HUGE band with many talented musicians. I also get they're touring with other bands. But $100 (after fees...

It was fine in Tuscaloosa. Their fans tended a little younger but similar otherwise.

This quote says it all. He was an unabashed asshole but a great writer. Harlan Ellison was, after all, one of the most interesting humans on Earth. He was one of the greatest and most influential science fiction writers alive (until yesterday), and now is one of the best dead ones. He was a complete...

She has a great voice and is a Deadhead, so there is that. https://liveforlivemusic.com/news/lady-gaga-responds-to-treybobby-cover/ That song is from Joanne, a "country" music album she did a couple of years ago. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joanne_(album) Wow, I can't believe I know this much abou...

Alabama, you literal shithole :roll: :roll: :roll: Lowndes County, Ala.: The Place God Forgot reading this made me very :x :x :x Lowndes Co is indeed very poor. Part of the Black Belt.

Yassss!!!! It all makes sense now. Thanks.

She is coming to my town tonight so checking her out. Very nice. Drivin and Cryin playing right up the street too.

Anthony Crawford of Sugarcane Jane and Willie Sugarcapps in Mobile is a former Int'l Harvester. I am a big fan, especially of Willie (Will Kimbrough) Sugarcapps. https://www.sugarcanejane.com/about listening to this now, reminds me just how much I love the Harvesters! I know Ben Keith and other key ...

R.I.P. I saw him several times with his brothers. Always a great show.

One of the most extensive articles about Hinton I have ever seen in general media for his admission into the Alabama Music Hall of Fame. It will be interesting to see i...

Check it out. Apparently his widow is interested in selling too.

Radio station in Mobile (92.5) was playing Sweet Home, Freebird and Stairway to Heaven in repeat mode all weekend.

2 of 3 ain't bad. No they did not play that song, unfortunately.

Not seen it discussed on here before, so here goes. Word of South is a literary/music festival in Tallahassee, FL sponsored by the community college there. I saw Jason there a couple of years ago and was really impressed. This year they had Patterson, his dad David, John Paul White, Donnie Fritts, B...

I dropped FB, not because of the DBT group, but just too much going on there on FB even before the Zuckergate. It was affecting my peace of mind, just a little, and I do not need that anymore than anyone else trying to make sense of this crazy world. I still enjoy TDD even if it is not quite as acti...

Bottle Rockets and Chris Knight are both good and been discussed here before. I particularly like the BR.

I have seen King solo with his excellent band, and he should do a great job with these gigs.

I am a very casual fan, but this was an interesting interview of Chris Robinson.

I went to Bama with Malone's cousin from Rogersville. Not familiar with the Proponents. Sounds cool tho.

No I like those, even the Garden. I like most Beatles tho.

Speaking of Princeton, John Popper of Blues Traveler is coming to my little town to a new venue built in an old Coca-Cola plant called The Plant. Should be good. Takes me back to my grad school days at Bama. His band for this is called Whiskey Bent, not sure about them. I love to hear him play the h...

Hood and Cooley in the Ivy League. Wow!

Is this the professor from Secret to a Happy Ending? I though he was with Penn at the time but that was ten years ago or more.

Great set! My only gripe is "Guns of Umpqua." A nice enough tune but a TOTAL buzz kill to start a show! So what cheerful, happy songs do they have to play? I remember commenting to a friend at a show that they had just played three songs in a row about suicide. Not exactly uplifting stuff. Great tu...

Waxahatchee and Kevin Morris cover two great Jason Molina songs. Don't get much better than this.

Should be interesting. I will be pulling for Philly. Don't blow it.

Earthless sounds interesting. Tell me more.
