GOOSE

goffchile sez:The Goose is Loose Has anyone seen the Goosecreek Symphony? Someone recently turned me on to them but I have not seen them live. They are descibed as sounding like the Grateful Dead if they were from Kentucky rather than California or if Jimi Hendrix and Bill Monroe were in the same band. They went defunct in the 1970s and have recently reformed. I'd be interested to hear any experiences seeing this group. ================= Yeah GC- I've seen 'em (1 time)... they were playing NPR's "Mountain Stage" radio show in Charleston WV a few years ago (my failing memory, w/o looking it up, thinks around '98-'99?) I did not see the Mountain Stage show (Sun afternoon), but, saw them the night before (Sat. nite) at a local dive called the Empty Glass, which used to be operated in downtown Chas'ton by one the Mountain Stage house band's guitarists- Michael Lipton. ...Goose Creek at the Empty Glass, a lil' hole-in-the-wall which, if packed, might hold 100-150 people. Indeed, the proper setting fer the Goose. Classic hillbilly-acid-rock. Check out their albums... I highly recommend "Words Of Earnest". Also saw there (at the Empty Glass), in 1992- Jorma and Michael Falzarano (duo) do some classic Hot Tuna/Jorma jams. One of the best shows i've seen. Also, have seen at Mountain Stage in Charleston- 1992- Bruce Hornsby (Bruce came out and chatted with us for 15 or 20 mins. after the show, asking how the Dead were arrangign certain songs/harmonies, etc., now that he was not touring with them... he is one first-class dude). 1991- REM. they played only two or three shows in '91... this was one of them. Various late 80's-early 90's shows at the Music In The Mountains bluegrass fest (Summersville WV)- Bill Monroe, JD Crowe, Ralph Stanley, Jim & Jesse McReynolds, Ricky Skaggs, Osborne Brothers, Lou Reid & Carolina, Chubby Wise, Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, Eddie Adcock, Country Gentlemen, etc...

If you ever get the chance

The opening act for the second time I saw Ronnie Montrose was a band called PoDunk (sp?). They went all over the place with wonderful sounds. If you ever get the chance to catch them, expect to have you mind blown. Another cool act you should see when possible is WireTrain. They opened for Dylan and were out of this world. . UncleDead.

Love the Prine as well. Have seen him a number of times. His voice has deteriorated since he got cancer, but the songs are still great.

Best Shows by Other Bands

Seen something really really good?

Definitely a must-see. My favorite band to see live right now is Wilco, and the first time that I saw My Morning Jacket they were opening for Wilco. Excellent show! My only MMJ complaint is that, at least locally, they seem to draw the frat-party crowd which can be more than a little distracting if you're stuck with them around you at a show. I had a good conversation going with a college-age set list freak when I saw them last spring...but then he cracked me up with, admittedly, a pretty good line: "This is like seeing Led Zeppelin in 1971!!!" (Yes, he said it with at LEAST 3 !!!). I don't know if this was something that he said all the time, or if he said it for the benefit of this old geezer (me) that he was educating in all things MMJ. Regardless, I couldn't resist my not-exactly-kind impulse: I looked at him and said, "I'm probably older than your parents, and I'M too young to have seen Zeppelin in '71." Barely too young, to be honest, but I guess that I made my point. He stopped talking to me after that.

Wilco

Wilco I will second since you seconded my MMJ! Wilco has always been good live but since they did that amazing 5 show run in Chicago where they played EVERY SONG they had ever officially released, their shows have transcended to a new level. And Nels Cline is ferocious on guitar AND brings out the nasty side of Tweedy when he solos- they complement each other perfectly. Wilco, like MMJ, is another band that plays long shows, mixes up the sets, balances high energy with ballads- understands how to build a slowly building, well paced concert. AND- when seeing Wilco, you never know when Tweedy's gonna start arguing with an audience member- always entertaining when that happens.

Kyle Hollingsworth Brew Fest CHICAGO

Kyle Hollingsowrth is doing an event in Chicago on Saturday December 10 before the final performance of String Cheese's tour. The Brew Fest will take place at the Bottom Lounge. Hollingsworth will join Chicago’s Family Groove Company for a very special performance at the festival. This is also the finale of Hollingsworth’s Hop On Tour interactive fan experience throughout SCI’s Roots Run Deep Tour. Sounds like a super fun time and an awesome way to wind up the tour. Definitely not going to miss out on this one

Does Further count?

Didn't see a spot for Further. Sorry, if I have erred by putting it here. That Sunday Further show at Red Rocks with Branford joining in for the whole second set was amazing. The first time I've consistently gone "Holy shit!" at a concert in a long time. Friday was very good, from our limited experience, Saturday not so hot, but Sunday was a Spinal Tap 11.

Great Summer Concerts in Maryland

I got to knock two artists off my bucket list this summer: New Order (sans Peter Hook) and "Black" FLAG (feat. Keith & Chuck & Bill & Dez & Stephen). I've been a HUGE fan of New Order since probably sixth or seventh grade when I heard HFS play the original version of "Blue Monday" on the radio. I know just about every song on every album inside-out and could probably sing the band's entire catalogue through their first break-up without batting an eyelash. When they got back together and started recording again in the early 2000s, I was so excited that I might actually get to see them play live. Sadly, they rarely ever come any farther into the U.S. than New York, then they broke up again shortly after the release of 'Waiting for the Sirens' Call', and I thought my hopes of seeing New Order play live were dashed for good. Fortunately, they've reformed and relaunched themselves across the globe, and I finally made an old wish come true. I saw them in July, and they were absolutely amazing; I was floating for days after the show. Since the Trayvon Martin verdict came out, I've been listening to a lot of '70s & '80s hardcore, mostly bands like Black Flag, OFF!, and Void. Black Flag broke up YEARS before I'd ever heard of them, and, considering the political climate of the last decade-plus, I'm not surprised these old Reagan Era bands are crawling back out of the rafters. I won't get into the legal issues going on between Black Flag and FLAG (the Keith Morris-fronted "cover band"), but seeing FLAG is probably the closest I'll ever get to seeing Black Flag from the late '70s as I'm ever gonna get. They were insane. They blasted through 24 songs in a little over an hour, and I don't think Baltimore has been the same ever since. That was last week.

Close youre eyes and they were there!

One more Saturday night

Been looking for a place to post this, hope this is a good spot http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nh6ntKguZ-I&feature=share One More Saturday Night is a show dedicated to fans of live music. The show has been given permission, by Ice Nine Publishing, for anyone to perform songs from their catalog. We really appreciate this. The show is also a place for folks to come and talk about their experiences on the road, and at concerts by the Grateful Dead. So many of us have had our lives and consciousness changed and improved because we were there. So many of us discovered we were part of a family we didn't know existed until we met our brothers and sisters on the road when we needed them most. So, One More Saturday Night is a show that celebrates the stories, music and values given to us with the music, from the Grateful Dead. We welcome all musicians and songwriters. Performers on the show may play any original material they hold the rights to as well as any song from the Ice Nine catalog. All stories are welcome too. If you are not familiar with Google Hangouts or how to use them, I can show you how it is done. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a decent internet connection. The rest is easy. I can be contacted by leaving a comment on the youtube page where this video is being viewed or at icloudrules@gmail.com I hope you will join us this time, One More Saturday Night.

thanks steelrain

check it out, folks! (this is the man who sold me my first Macintosh...)

Create A Requiem For Robert Hunter That Broadcasts To Space

Want to create a requiem for Robert Hunter?
I'll broadcast whenever anyone has free time (that can include live sketching that makes music and now the sketchhing can make surrealistic 3d animations simultaneously because of augmented reality).
I think Robert Hunter would appreciate a few of us performing, live broadcasting and/or calling people on the phone at the same time for him.
This will allow the US to be used as a canvas and send a broadcast into space with the surges of several cell tower zones. Only a few of us needed really with interest in my work alone, so dont get discouraged if there is only a few of us.
I am also thinking he'd like to chill in Antarctica with all the folks that are going to need to go that ways to save on AC anyway (Antarctica AC is cheaper than fire/dust) and we keep him going by supporting his externalized mind structure aka infomorph that is still with us with cell apps and scans, we are calling it quits on him way to early because many of us know that when heavy weights like this have their synapses stop firing these days only a small portion of their consciousness that was housed in their brains bail (which in cases like this is seriously not going to effect him).
Anyway, lets create a requiem for him that broadcasts to space (and encourage the use of lucid dreams as a monitor which is the foundation of consciousness externalization).
I can solo this thing out if I don't hear from anyone (with whatever is causing our impossible isolation in the giant masses of artists since the 60's every show). I should just conference call a bunch of folks and start playing music for them or something that will work too. What pixelated image is best to sketch out on the US?

Use lucid dreams as a monitor when waking in the morning to defeat grief. This is an innovation on the popularized by using apps that remind you of what to dream and to move your hands in your mind to stay lucid (focusing on moving your hands in your mind only not physically moving your hands when falling back to sleep in the morning and you can control your dreams and dream what you want).
Side note: this is malleablitiy of consciousness needed to externalize consciousness from the 4 areas of the brain that house consciousness that span from the front of the skull above the eyes to the back of the skull above the spine [tape several simple electrodes at forehead and back of skull that are connected to a cell phone app then use lucid dreams as a monitor to flux consciousness sharing into the cell (same as if you lost your frontal lobe except the opposite)].

2003 Atlanta Dylan and the Dead performance of his was intense with the geese flying in formation through the mist fractilizatiion of the sky gradients (really gives you perspective of the Earth as a giant aircraft we are flying that Apollo earned us the right to consume from because we defend Earth so we can immortalize existence).

Seriously feasible that Hunter eliminates death for all (by flooding the heart valve waiting list earning donations that makes all Antarctica immigrations free and include mind externalization with the optional new jobs for all as engineers of starlight sculpting quantum eraser experiment apps that allow us to travel the Universe in moments then return before sent to any thought /anywhere thought throughout time).

Memorial Concert for Mom

Dear Dead Heads,
I am organizing a memorial rock concert for my mom who has recently passed away. It's free and you all are cordially invited.
Time: 9/18/2020 Friday (From 5 - 6 pm)
Place: Hankook Mortuary Parking Lot
2045 W Washington Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90018
(323) 734-5656
Band Members: Devon Taylor (Bass), Charlie Wright (Rhythm Guitar and Vocal), Ray Bergstrom (Lead Guitar), Drums (Tsugumi Shikano) . The set list includes songs from Bob Dylan, the Beatles, and Eric Clapton.
A Buddhist monk will kick off the concert with some sermon or such about the Diamond Sutra - about the value of of being selfless among other things. For those who are interested I will show you my mom who is resting in peace, surrounded by $3000's worth of Casablanca lilies. I will give a lily to every dead head who comes - each one is worth around $7 dollars wholesale from what I hear.

Circles Around the Sun

saw them in Austin in April 2019. Did not know what to expect some really solid musicians. Well, they started a tad slow...playing 1st song almost note for note from the CD, for about 5 minutes. then, they just started jamming away for 2 1/2 hours non-stop. EXCELLENT show and energy.
My thought was they had the improvisational skills of an excellent jam band, with the discipline of Steely Dan. I'm not even sure what that means, but I know it' s right.

Not sure if this was the BEST non-Dead show I've seen but it was right up there.
