Hippie Birth Daze Sir Paul! We are grateful for you!
We love Sir Paul McCartney!
Enjoy this video playlist!
Lots of classics, including “Say Say Say” with Michael Jackson, “Ebony and Ivory” with Stevie Wonder, lots of great Wings songs, some recent performances, some classics… and a few songs by his other band… The Beatles!
2 new Furthur shows announced at the Nokia Theater in New York July 28 & 29 (ON SALE 4.30 @ 12 Noon ET ). Could this be the start of a second round of Summer tour? Or maybe they will fill in the days between Philadelphia (July 11th) and the Nokia shows (July 28th)?
Speculating, but I imagine there will be more – they seem to really like to play on the east coast! 14 shows in 17 days between 6/25 in Rochester and 7/11 In Philly is an intense tour pace. A nice break would be in order! Maybe do some summer relaxing, and then pick it up again for a another 2 or 3 weeks?
These shows are on a Wednesday and a Thursday, so maybe more announcements for the weekend to follow? Like maybe OMSN at Gathering of the Vibes on the 30th? With Rhythm Devils at GOTV as well, we could get a surprise set from the core four!! Again, I am simply speculating!
Dear Mr. Fantasyland… give us more tour… something to make us all happy!
Here is a recap of Furthur’s Summer Tour 2010 plans:
I know the west coast gets the big’uns – The first Fox shows, New Years, Phil’s Birthday, Calaveras… The east coast gets all the tours! I love New York too – but Futhur got fans everywhere!!!
Personally I am disappointed there has been nothing yet for Southern California… Maybe a L.A. Greek show? Chula Vista? Santa Barbara? And all the other western states, Nevada, Arizona, etc…
Pre-show: I had learned my lesson. I got to Radio City earlier this time, was on line by 7:15pm, and breezed in. In typical form, I texted my buddies and the reception in the main hall isn’t so great, so I received radio silence. Until I looked up on the balcony and saw them. I just love it when magic happens. I had 3rd mezzanine seats – the cheap seats – first row. Way up top, but with no obstructions at all. The band looked tiny, but not so bad (this was not MSG, they weren’t an inch tall). I could see noodling and finger plucking. All was good.
First Set: Bang! Truckin’. Wee, we are off… (more…)
I have to admit, I’m not a huge moe. fan. But, I know the music well enough and know the vibe of the tribe well enough to know I’d have fun. And fun, yes, was had.
I walked in to the Roseland knowing I had missed the first couple of songs already. I was watching the set list being tweeted to me by friends inside, and I looked up at the stage to see the boys all dressed up in suits and ties. I found out later this could have been for their 20th year playing in NYC.
I handed my ticket to the lady to scan and I noted the posting above her that said, “No Smoking Allowed.” I said, “hmm, no smoking, eh? Smells like funky smoke in here.” She laughed and scanned me in. Ah hah, nice Roseland.
Went to get a drink and find a place to call “home”. I noticed the tapers and smiled – ah, something about seeing microphones at a show which makes me happy. Must be the hippie in me.
My shoes were sticking to the floor, and it instantly reminded me of those disgusting sticky floors at the Hammerstein for the Furthur shows back in December. The only difference at Roseland is these are not disgusting sticky floors, this was disgusting sticky carpet. Bleech.
moe. Wow. Blown away. Roseland was packed. I got all the way up to the front, to the left of the stage and had a pocket of space, great views of moe. and a bar around the corner. Killer score! I settled in, and started to dance. David ‘Fuze’ Fiuczynski was on stage rockin it out with the boys in their so proper business suits and I started to close my eyes, put my hair in my face and listen to the tunes rockin out. I believe this was during “Big World”.

At set break, I found a place to sit down on the bench – and it wasn’t wet with spilled drinks. I must’ve had the karma of the gods with me last night. I talked with a bunch of people, one guy was expounding on how the Friday night show rocked, with Butch Trucks and the guy from Marco Benevento. We joked about the ages of the kids and people around us– one kid didn’t look old enough to be shaving yet. Ah, well… We’re not old if we keep jamming out to shows, we decided – and if we kept enough painkillers around for the aching hips, elbows, and neck aches that eventually come with jamming out. All good by me, I said.
I wandered outside for a break and watched the NYC security guards completely trip out on the young girls in their hippie halter shirts and long patchwork skirts. These guys were trying to pick up the chicks, the chicks were O U T of their MIND on G-d knows what and they giggled and skipped back into the club, as the security guards couldn’t stop staring as they left. Silly fun. Love shows for stuff just like that.
Met more guys who talked about the Gov’t Mule New Years Eve run, and how Butch Trucks was here last night. (Ed. note: I am a huge Allman Bros fan…can’t help myself.) Then they told me that last night “In Memory of Elizabeth Reed”, “Whipping Post” and “The Weight” was played. It was only at that moment that I realized I missed a KILLER show the night before. I ran home after the show to hear those three songs. Friday’s show: 1-22-10 Show from Archive
Second set ROCKED out. People were loose, place was pumped up, energy was high. Smokey, trippy, spacey, fabulous. Great people, great fun, amazing music. I love a show when even if you get bumped on, people smile, say they are sorry, etc. This was the vibe at the moe. show. We rocked it. And made a mess to prove it.
Next time they come down to NYC, I won’t miss any shows.
