I used to see these guys when I was in high school at toads place and Irving plaza ?(NYC). I actually still have a few of their cds.
Spent NYE 94/95 with them, amongst other GSW shows....Too bad I dont go see live music anymore or else i would be there with bells on....
I also have been waiting for this day for a long time. I hope I can swing this!!
**damn, got a wedding on the 10th. Maybe the first night is doable.
gsw was my fav band in jr high
Definitely great nostalgia here. The early-mid 90\'s jam scene was an exciting time. It was like, "holy crap, you mean there\'s actually multiple jambands on tour at one time and not just the Dead? Whoa!" Around here, Phish/NRBQ/ARU/moe./GSW in the early 90s and and a little later on Jiggle The Handle/Miracle Orchestra/Percy Hill/Strangefolk (w/ Reid) were great times. I totally see the nostalgia value of the show and I would love to go if they came a little closer to me.
Most of the music still holds up for GSW, but not all. Particularly $1.99 Romances...I used to bump that a lot when it came out, now when I listen to it I\'m kinda like "Oh....not quite what I thought it was then." They were awesome at the time. If they came out today I think they would get lost in the crowd a bit. No reason not to go to the show though, it\'ll be fun!
I still like 1.99 Romances...just as much as I like riding a pony to see the sunset....takes me back and Molly is still one of my favorite songs in life........
driving west... great song
First saw these guys in \'93, one of the best shows I\'ve ever seen. I still love $1.99 Romances, their next two records weren\'t as good to me, but the first three are great, and Good to the Last Drop.
Red - not so good.
Self-titled - Awesome.
HAHA! They actually sound great on that song! Wow! Sounds like it could have been their own! That does it...I\'m listening to a ton of GSW for the next week. I\'m starting to feel it again!
I used the link to get to track 19. The mini-player needs a track counter.

\'Dont go for second best\'
