Jahfin Posted September 20, 2010 Author Share Posted September 20, 2010 (edited) Caught most of CS&N last night from just outside the gates (outdoor venue) They're here this week. I've never seen them so I may have to catch this show. Over the weekend: Sounds of the South Megafaun & Fight the Big Bull feat. Justin Vernon of Bon Iver & Sharon Van Etten The members of Megafaun moved from Wisconsin to Raleigh with Vernon as the band DeYarmond Edison. After Vernon went back north to record as Bon Iver, the Cook brothers and Joe Westerlund stayed on in the Piedmont, crafting a timeless folk-pop that “drinks deeply from the well of the past but could only have been made today” (Drowned in Sound)—an archive of rural America's ghosts. In this exclusive live recording event, the rustic avant-gardists team with Fight the Big Bull, the “thrilling” (NPR) 9-piece jazz collective from Richmond, VA, along with Vernon and the blisteringly talented Van Etten. Together in Durham for three shows only, they'll cut a live album based on Alan Lomax's collection of shape-note songs and dirt-floor hymns, Sounds of the South, gathered during a two-year trek through the American southeast (1959-1961). Recast through Megafaun's experimental Americana, FtBB's brass jazz, Vernon's "chilly, rusty grandeur" (Village Voice), and Van Etten's haunting soprano, the folk songs Lomax immortalized will live again at Hayti, once an AME Zion church and now a semi-sacred venue whose acoustics rival any studio's. 1.

Jahfin Posted September 20, 2010 Author Share Posted September 20, 2010 Recently discovered Bon Iver and am enjoying his music a lot. I've been trying to track down some DeYarmond Edison (the band Justin Vernon was in with the guys from Megafaun prior to forming Bon Iver) but it's out of print and very hard to find. I have seen Bon Iver once before (opening for Wilco) and really enjoyed them. If you haven't checked out Megafaun yet, I think you would like them.

It would be interesting to hear Justin's early works. Bummer it's out of print. Thanks for the tip on Megafaun! Will definitely check them out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperDave Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Robert Plant at The Bowery Ballroom in NYC on September 12. Great show. Robert and the band were in top form. Great material from the new album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misfit Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 I've never been to many concerts at all, but the last ones I went to were: Alice Cooper in 1997 or 98 Rush in 2004 on their 30th Anniversary Tour Robert Plant in 2005 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jahfin Posted September 23, 2010 Author Share Posted September 23, 2010 Just saw Bobby Bare, Jr. and Blue Giant at the Local 506 in Chapel Hill last night. Blue Giant also served as his backing band. Just stumbled upon this clip of the Black Crowes from last Friday's show in Raleigh where there was supposedly a strict "no cameras" policy in effect by request of the band: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jahfin Posted September 27, 2010 Author Share Posted September 27, 2010 That kind of policy by The Black Crowes must be quite new.. I get the feeling they never had any requests like that back in the days.. It's been years since I saw them last (mid-90s perhaps?) but at my previous Black Crowes show, Chris Robinson was getting pretty upset with someone in the audience that was shining one of those lazer penlights at him. I can only imagine they just don't want people filming (which is very hard to determine, particularly with modern cameras) and/or flashes going off left and right. The bottom line is, unless they pat everyone down and remove their cellphones, fans will still be taking photos and filming their shows. While I do respect their wishes, there's really nothing they can do about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was all about "Bringing On The Good Times" and you guys were doing exactly that! It certainly looked like so much fun! And dude, you've got some awesome guitar moves there! Seriously! Have you ever tried to play your guitar behind your back? (like Hendrix often did) Cos that will be so cool! And Saturdays are meant for fun (especially after a pretty hectic week!)

silvermedalist Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 My daughter posted the other night that she was going to REO. She is in Hobaken and works in Manhattan so I assume they must have played either the Meadowlands or somewhere near. I saw them once way way back. You could not pay me to go see them now.

sailor86 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Went to see Gallagher in Dallas in '95. I took an umbrella that I had cut a couple of eyeball shaped holes and glued see-thru plastic over. At the end of the show, he came running down the aisle with a fire hose and took aim at me and my son's mama. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JethroTull Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 This past Saturday I saw The Fab Faux at Radio City Music Hall. Special guest appearance by The Quarrymen. I hope I don't have to tell anybody who The Quarrymen were. Happy Birthday John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swede Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 On Friday, The Flight Reaction. On Saturday, Moving Sounds. In other words, a very Mod 60's weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
