Last year at Brooklyn Bowl I left early because they had Nigel Hall sing the same five songs three times in six nights .

Note to Soulive : Just get up there and BRING IT

i hate to let the negatives get in the way but you're spot on. the mix was low, everyone was talking, the horn section was tucked away in the corner and hard for the crowd to interact with, it ended super early, and wtf was the point of jj grey up there?

unfortunately on night 2 jj grey came back up and did literally the same set, "born under a bad sign," "love and happiness," and one more. super simple songs - standards more or less - why couldn't they have picked 3 different standards? i know jj knows a few more songs than that, and the horn section is capable of anything. they were selling 3 night passes, i paid 72 bucks w/ fees for the first 2 nights and was treated to 2 of the same exact set?? wtf??

Oh Boy, Moe and the boys. If you've heard one of their shows you've heard all of them. This generic jam band has pushed their way to a lower to middle class status in the jam band scene after years of sweat. My advice: "Go back to the garage in which you came from". Catch a WSP show!

I'm a huge fan of the String Dusters and Pert Near Sandstone and both bands put on unforgettable live shows. The 'tap dancer' you refer to from Pert Near is Andy Lambert who is a super talented clogger and plays an integral musical role in the band which is actually fairly common for old-tyme string bands. If you've never seen a raging fast string band with a clogger to match you are missing out - his dancing solos are a favorite of fans in Minneapolis.

Understandable. For me it was just wanting to capture the details of a crazy evening. Typically I write from a different perspective, but the uniqueness of the situation called for a different approach to the writing.

I'm not being paranoid I'm just being real. Places like Broomfield have cops up top looking for suspicious activity and radioing down. Be careful.

anonymous 2... thats ridiculous. 5 to 9 minutes wouldn't be worth listening to. i guess applecorp would sue if they called it a podcast but thats what it is. i think 30 to 45 is great.

Anyway, drew emmitt sho do got dat high lonesome sound. and this ATLien is pumped about 4-20 at the variety playhouse. I've gotten multiple requests from new friends in various parts of colorado to go ahead and move out. but i'm holding off until May just to see Leftover down here. I've already got two tickets and plan on buying two more, just to give to friends. Great segment about the scalpers. I'd actually like to see it become a recurring topic. Maybe talk to venue owners, getting opinions and ideas about how to turn it around and fuck the scalpers.

We are discussing a new format. The goal would be to break it up to around a half hour and releasing twice a month. According to you this would still be too long. We are also working on giving you a downloadable option so that you can listen at your own convenience. We appreciate you oppinion and will take a breakout into considertion. I don't think we could give many of our topics a proper discussion in just five minutes. Not to mention that would be something like 25 individual podcasts from our third episode which would be a formatting nightmare. We understand that the attention span of the modern internet user is pretty slim, but we also care enough about the music and the scene that surrounds it to delve a little deeper than just a periphery look. In this episode alone we had interviews with members of Cornameal, The Contribution, and The Motet, but again we are looking at ways to break it up.

2011-12-26T10:46:42.174-07:00

Wow, way too long... IMHO this would be better in 5 min segments... 9 at the longest... If you have to go this horribly long ... I would at least provide a list of what time you are talking on what topics... thanks otherwise the sound is ok... just way too long.

2011-12-20T13:15:58.103-07:00

i can see how this could get sloppy. But taken for what it was, a bunch of 'rado musicians getting together for a good cause, the sloppiness is almost expected. when 'and friends' gets thrown out there you know the stage might get a little cluttered and any songs everyone knows may have only been practiced once together prior to the show. sounds like a 'good night to boogie'...
