>>How can you call them "Dead" shows..it's an insult to the real Dead heads...<<
Obliviously you don't know much about the band or the music. It's a Dead show because that is exactly who is playing. All surviving members of the band, plus Jimmy Herring and Warren Haynes on guitars. The Grateful Dead’s music has always been bigger then any one member of the band, including Jerry. It's a Dead show because it's simply about the music and taking it further! I'm a deadhead and not the least bit insulted, in fact, I feel privileged that these guys are still making great music and putting a smile on my face!

polk! Where did you wind up at, lol. Where was Eddy?
We stayed near the bandshell until 5-ish and headed to Buddy Guy's. XRT was broadcasting the fest live...
Phil Guy had just left the stage when we got there, damn.
We didn't stay there too much longer either...

I'm too old for concerts. I'm very narrow minded now. It's sad really.
But...
The Who at Vodaphone Arena (or our Melbourne Tennis Centre, whatever the fuck they call it this week) on July 31. And, best of all.. It's a Saturday night! Really looing forward to this. I hope i remember it. |

DJ looked silly shaking his skinny hips singing Wolf tunes. His voice was ok but since it had rained consistently since the end of the first act, we cut out. Hubert was honored by the city of Greenwood, MS, da mayor (of Greenwood) even made it up.
I caught Howlin' For Hubert in PA on the 13th and thought it was the coolest thing ever.
Johanson did look silly, which for some reason made it even better. He put it over the top for me - I thought he was great. And Levon Helm is the SHIT on drums. Where else are you gonna hear a whole set of Howlin' Wolf songs played that well? I got Hubert to sign a Howlin' Wolf album I brought along - seeing him was a dream come true for the ol' Monkey.
I got to talk to Johanson after their set and he said the Dolls are gonna play Liberty Island in NYC on Aug 14 - I believe the Stooges are on the bill too. That sounds like a highlight of the summer to me - I'd rather see THOSE relics than Van Hagar. |

Hey Flea, is Izzy Stradlin seriously going to join the Dolls for their shows? I've heard some of these rumors and Duff McKagan talked about how Izzy told him of being approached by them.
Frankly, I don't know what to make of it. |

Hey, that's cool. Too bad it was raining cats and dogs last week at the ChiBlues Festival. David did look silly but I thought his voice sounded about right. No Levon tho... |

From BLABBERMOUTH.NET.
Former GUNS N' ROSES guitarist Izzy Stradlin has backed out of his participation in the upcoming NEW YORK DOLLS reunion show, informed sources have told BLABBERMOUTH.NET. Although Izzy had originally agreed to fill in for late axeman Johnny Thunders at NEW YORK DOLLS' upcoming concert at London's Meltdown Festival in June, he pulled out of the deal when he learned that plans existed for the band to do additional dates — a prospect that would have required of Stradlin to learn more of the group's catalogue and to dedicate more of his time than was willing to set aside for the collaboration. |
