May 10th, 2003 - Bowery Ballroom; New York, NY

I: What The Funk, Fairy, Cut Me Some Slack, Cosmic Spaceway Rhyme, Gladys Pimp & Kangaroos With Me > Echidna\'s Arf (Of You) > Drum Solo, The Vermont Song*

Opened for Railroad Earth.

* with Tim and Andy from Railroad Earth on violin and saxophone, respectively.

I had to bail on this show because I didn\'t want to do any driving (Chris F. and I got back from Living Room at 5:00am Saturday morning).  While it would have been nice to cap off the weekend run, I hope I picked the right show to miss over this weekend.  How did this one stack up next to a great Pearl St. and un-****-believeable Living Room show?

the preshow pizza at the shithole pizzera across the street from the real place blew.got soaked by a careless waitress but te show was pretty ser.unreal venue and a not too shabby crowd. the setist was great.the gladys pimp from hell i was waiting for all weekend came and was ser.always good to hear the vermontsong and railroad earth were pretty good too.great havin the boys back in town.se yaal next weekend!
btw.THE SMOKING BAN **** BLOWS!!.later

LOVED the Ballroom (particularly in comparison to the shithole the night before in RI......) one of the nicest venues yet. Wild mushrooms and Kalamata olive pie ruled......but it ain\'t Sally\'s...
If PB played "raw" Fri. nite in Providence, they played with finesse Sat. nite in NYC!!!!!
Sorry about the train ride Gray!!!!Nuthin\' like adding a little spunk to your nite and sprinting thru grand central Scheme of things in the nick of time.....  

Not a problem Evelyn I hae d a fun time till they had to break up the party.. Send me an email sometime tiedyetoga@sharingthegroove.org

mark -

no one has said anything, and i just checked the originals to make sure they were ok, and they were... but i think i know what your problem is..

you may not be finished downloading. look at your BT window. does it say \'Download Succeeded\'? also, if your download is complete, the button on the bottom of the window will say \'Finish\' instead of \'Cancel\'.

the reason i bring this up, is because BT can fool you into thinking you\'ve downloaded something in its entirety. when BT first starts up, it allocates space on your hard drive. it does this by placing \'dummy\' files on your drive with the same name/size as the files you\'re downloading, but they\'re empty. when your download is complete, the files will be in tact..

like i said, i\'m not sure if this is what\'s going on with you, but you may wanna check it out. also, if it says it\'s finished now, check the md5 again. lemme know how you make out.

btw - thanks to BT, between here and Gray\'s site, 49 people now have this show!! :thumbsup:

i thought it sounded pretty sick..they get real heavy during the verse which makes it more dramatic and tim and jordan do a nice little harmonizing at the end to bring it to a mellow conclusion..hadn\'t heard it in a while.. no new songs yet, but i think its cool when they alter old ones.
