That was a seriously cool groove. Reminded me of early Santana a bit.

Here's how I feel about the new album after hearing this song:

That is a good set list. Nebekenezer, Horsehead, and Thorn in My Pride are a few of my favorites, and this is one of the few bands that I don't mind hearing the "hits" from. Did they do the big Zep-like ending to Twice as Hard? If you know what I'm talking about, that was some unexpected coolness from one of the shows I saw. I have walked early on exactly ONE show in my life, and it was a Black Crowes show. I've seen them about 6 or 7 times but this particular show was when Chris had decided they were going to be a jam band. I don't mind extending a song or two but not EVERY GD ONE. They were playing 20-minute versions of almost nothing recognizable so eventually I said "Fuck this." and hit the road. I wonder if that was the same thing you and Dave experienced.

I've never been the biggest Allman Brothers Band fan in the world, but really admired Dicky's playing. He was so melodic doing his hexatonic thing.

Firehouse's guitarist, Bill Leverty, lives about 10 minutes from me. My Cheap Trick tribute band recorded our demo at his house. He couldn't be a nicer guy, and from what I've heard the same is true about everyone in the band. I really feel for those guys, having lost band members myself before (and of course we weren't successful like Firehouse).

I don't know what half o' them words mean, so I figger you might be makin' sport o' me, and me n' the boys don't like bein' made sport of.

Thus proving the "I wouldn't go see that guy if he was playing in my living room" theory. I just don't care for him.

The guy with his foot up stole Bun E. Carlos's shoes!

This must be from a Young Frankenstein guitar.

Of the guitar stores there, I liked Carter's Vintage the most. Rumbleseat is small but also cool, and there's no telling what crazy things they might have at any given moment and it's definitely geared toward the deep-pocketed shopper.

I can't believe they are made in Burgaw, NC. I went to their annual Blueberry Festival about 12 years ago. No, I'm not kidding. 🤣🤣🤣

I only saw them once, but it was shortly after their first album came out and they were playing a tiny place in Richmond, VA. I dragged 3 work friends who had never heard ANYTHING by them along. After the show they all just came out and stood on the sidewalk hanging around so I got to talk to them for quite a while. I told them I had convinced several other friends to buy their album and had brought 3 extra people along to see them that night. Vernon asked what he owed me and I said "That green Hamer guitar will do." I had the Vivid CD cover with me and they all signed it. Vernon, on the inside of the cover drew a picture of a guitar and wrote over top of it "IOU". They were all super cool. Side note: Prince had played a show in Richmond that night and one block away from where the Living Colour played was an after hours club called Ivory's Uptown Lounge. While we were standing there talking, a white limo pulled up in front of Ivory's and Prince and several others jumped out and went inside. The Prince story has become Richmond legend, but nobody remembers that Living Colour was playing a block away and all of us including the band standing there when it happened.

That might be who he was referring to here: The person I'd like to work with is not in the area and silly busy

Nice bass. I have a '79 in JetGlo I'll be selling soon. GLWTS!

If you don't got Mojo Nixon, then your store could use some fixin'.
