AWB = ok in my book.. grew up listening to quite a bit of AWB and TOP records...

Gencs, Did you end up going to this show? How was it?

Stephengencs · « **Reply #7 on:** May 28, 2005, 01:29:12 pm »

we got there for the last 4-5 tunes...the band was offstage by 11:30 and Toads was closed by 12:15.....the place was stuffed and AWB was droppin some ser funk.....

Spacey · « **Reply #8 on:** May 28, 2005, 01:30:00 pm »

Why did Toads close so early? Did you have to pay for the full ticket price?

Stephengencs · « **Reply #9 on:** May 28, 2005, 01:31:31 pm »

when older acts come in.....they dont usually play till close......the band is old...most of the bands fans are old.....i guess all acts reserve the right to call their stop time.....

re: full ticket price...hell no...

Spacey · « **Reply #10 on:** May 28, 2005, 01:36:35 pm »

True, I guess that\'s right. It is like a regular show. I am so use to the Breakfast playing until close that I just thought it was the norm.

average white band absolutely threw it down.
from what i caught i was impressed.
good dirty funk.

Spacey · « **Reply #12 on:** May 28, 2005, 02:40:15 pm »

They have been around since the 1970\'s , no?

I have heard of them, probably heard a couple of tunes but have never know it.

click that link steevie provided.
guaranteed you know that tune

Spacey · « **Reply #14 on:** May 28, 2005, 02:49:01 pm »

The beginning of the tune sounds like a Dead tune, I just can\'t seem to place it. Franklins maybe, I am not good with Dead tunes but it seems like it is close. Did they play this song?
