I just saw Kimock with Robert Walters the other day and it was sick. Kimock allowed Walters to play about 5 minutes worth of soloing over the course of the show, but let\'s face it we were there to see Kimock play. Original music is way better than dead cover anyway.
And how does anybody hate TLG? It\'s not that bad.
-
A. Bobby and the Midnites wasnt a **** jamband Leith, they were crotch rock. ANd I got a great Bobby and the Midnites song for you, "TOO MANY LOSERS"!!!!
Yeah, I know he has played with Kimock and the Other Ones, thats what I was referring to as the sad jambands. I\'m a huge Kimock fan, but Kimocks songs dont give **** for Alphonso to work with except for the standard generic jamband bass grooves.
The last time I saw Kimock play I felt he didn\'t give room for ANY of the other players to really do much. It was kind of annoying- it wasn\'t so much the composition of the songs- he played all over them. But in his sweet, pretty way of course. :P
-
Leith just because I hate TLG doesn\'t mean I dont know my ****;) I would love to get a copy of that VHS, if not for the music , I would like to see what the band was wearing, especially Billy Cobham BWAAHAHAHHAHA.And yes I would like to see them jam!!

I have a vhs tape of them playing in Switzerland And they are most def. jamming. Yeah it was mostly pop rock but they did jam
Too Many Losers lol good one. I am impressed you know Bob\'s other work.Well not really it is The Midnites.

Sad to hear him playing with "jambands", oh well, better than not hearing him at all :)
Hmm you find it sad. Well dude he has been playing w/ jambands for over 25 years.
He was a member of Bob Weir\'s band in the early 80\'s and also a part of The Other Ones in 2000.
Also played w/ Steve Kimock and Santana along the way.
-
I actually had both his solo albums on vinyl (stupidly sold them along with the rest of my fusion greats), they weren\'t AMAZING, but they weren\'t anything to ignore. I dont think they EVER existed on cd media....

"Alphonso Johnson=Biggest blunder ever by leaving Weather Report in order to pursue a solo career...."

-

Alphonso Johnson=Most underrated bassist of all time

The only time I saw JID was at Toads around 5 years ago. With Jimmy and Alphonso. Probably about 20 people in the place. One of the best shows I\'ve ever seen by anybody anywhere.
During the set break I bumped into Alphonso at the bar. He asked me how I thought it sounded. I said GREAT!. He said "really?" like he was really surprised. What a nice guy. And Jimmy after the show just hung out talking to everyone. Def some good folks there.
-
I definitely have to third that one.
Edit: Referring to Jimmy. Joe beat me to posting so I wanted to clarify.
-
I would like Herring and Pevar.... Cobahm and Johnson back in the mix....
I hate Blues For Allah, (cept for Help>slip and Sage and Spirit), would rather hear them cover Red Baron for 2 hours...
-
Its hot regardless what Leith says....
featuring...
-Jeff Pevar (Crosby, Stills & Nash/Phil & Friends)
-T Lavitz (Dixie Dregs/Widespread Panic)
-Jeff Sipe (Phil & Friends/Aquarium Rescue Unit)
-Dave Livolsi (John Scofield Band/Tower of Power)
-Tom Constanton (original Dead keyboardist)
I would rather see them w/ Jimmy than Jeff and hear something other than Blues For Allah again that\'s all.
Oh and Cobham over Sipe.
No doubt about it, Jimmy makes that band.

What is the current JID lineup?, might be down for that....
-
I think "per usual" is getting out of hand. Does anyone else think it is kind of an awkward phrase?
confirmed.
-
I\'ll be seeing some TLG, per usual.
They have some NYC dates lined up as well.
Yeah I think 2 nights in a row @ The Knitting Factory w/ U- Melt opening near the beginning of the month.
They really seem to kill in NYC so if ya get a chance.
-
However, apparantly not is as trite as ever!!
-
apparantly not cause we\'re all still using it.......

Leith have you seen Broken Social Scene yet? Now THERE is a real band buddy!!
No but I read a blurb on Live Music Blog that really pushed them so I think I will be checking them out.
Oh as a matter of fact they are on Conan tonight!
Enough w/ the hijacking though.
If anyone is not doing anything on the dates in the first post, I really suggest going to see TLG. If only to accumulate ammo to shoot me down with.;)

I love you Leith, but I hate TLG more than I love you... sorry......
Dude I KNOW you hate TLG. So leave it the **** alone. There are actually some folk on this board that DO like TLG so go PROG yourself! ;)
I\'d love to see these two go at it!!
;)
Hey Peanut Gallery......

Little Feat has sucked for the past 15 years and Jazz is Dead is played out. Doing Blues For Allah AGAIN!!!!!!!!!
I do have to agree that I have not been impressed with anything Little Feat has done recently... 15 years might be extreme but.. yeah they\'re aren\'t something to go crazy about these days.

leith, you flying out for these shows while the b\'fast is out west?? ;)
Well ya see the reason I am soo uptight abt Bfast dates is I just may be out East during their West coast swing. Isn\'t that a ****?
Both are way better than a homoerotic hipster ****....
TLG=Poor man\'s Partridge Family
Sometimes I think you know what you are talking about and then you post stupid crap like this and I snap back to reality realizing just how close minded an idiot you really are.
