King Kamala 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2007 I've decided to skip John Mayer/Ben Folds to go to HippieFest '07 at Meadowbrook Farms (on Lake Winnapausake!) Lineup; Country Joe McDonald Felix Cavalierie's Rascals Joey Molland's Badfinger Mitch Ryder and The Detroit Wheels Mountain The Turtles Featuring Flo&Eddie The Zombies (!!!) I think I'm just going to get $20 lawn tickets. Because I really don't need to pay top dollar to see a bunch of bands with one or two original members. Though as an avid listener of the local oldies station, I don't see any way this can't be a fun night. At the very least, there should be some interesting people watching.

King Kamala 0 Report post Posted March 31, 2007 what's the difference between joey molland's badfinger and just badfinger? I really have no idea. Joey Molland is (was?) the guitarist for Badfinger and is IIRC, the only surviving member of the band's classic lineup (Edit: After checking wikipedia, yep he is the only surviving member of Badfinger). Don't know why he just doesn't call it Badfinger. Probably doesn't own the name. Anyways the difference between the two is Joey Molland's Badfinger is is just one member of Badfinger and a bunch of nobodies playing Badfinger songs. I have to assume it's the same deal with Felix Cavalierie's Rascals and The Turtles Featuring Flo & Eddie. Old bands that only have one or two original members and aren't allowed to use their original name. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

King Kamala 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2007 good thing mountain's still intact. Yeah one guy's dead (shot by his girlfriend in the mid 80s) but the rest are there. I think Mountain and The Zombies are the only bands made up predominantly of guys from their original lineups. Still as an oldies lover and for $20, I can't really go wrong with this show. I think Wavy Gravy is hosting the proceedings as well. It'll be just like a senior citizen's Woodstock! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
godthedog 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2007 am i the only one who prefers the american version of 'rubber soul' to the british one? there's something about the british version that seems uneven and doesn't quite gel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edwin MacPhisto 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2007 You know, I don't think I've ever listened to any of the US versions of those albums. Looking at the tracklist on wikipedia, I can see where the American might flow a little better, but I couldn't survive the loss of "Drive My Car." In high school I knew a guy who hated "Nowhere Man," so I'm sure he would share your opinion. Unfortunately, he moved to New York, went to Tisch, and stopped believing in time, so I can't really confirm since he probably doesn't own a phone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PLAGIARISM! 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2007 Morrissey's playing here in July and I'm going. I'm far from a Moz fanboy, but I'm pretty excited about this. Obv. I am a fanboy by all accounts, but even I've been pleasantly surprised by his recent shows. Kristeen Young, who will likely be the support, is hot also, if just ok musically.

Giuseppe Zangara 0 Report post Posted April 2, 2007 I think Moz is overestimating the size of his fanbase on this side of the Atlantic, but I dunno. Maybe he's thinking he can draw Pixies-size crowds. Look at these tourdates with accompanying venue sizes: april Fri 27 STOCKTON, CA : Bob Hope Theater [1,896 cap] Sat 28 SPARKS, NV : John Ascuaga's Celebrity Showroom [700 cap] Sun 29 SPARKS, NV : John Ascuaga's Celebrity Showroom may Tue 1 OAKLAND, CA : Paramount Theater [2,840 cap] Wed 2 SANTA ROSA, CA : Wells Fargo Center [1,482 cap] Sat 5 SPOKANE, WA: INB Performing Arts Center [2,700] Sun 6 SEATTLE, WA : Paramount [2,782] Tue 8 SALT LAKE CITY, UT : E Center Ford Theater [3,500] Wed 9 DENVER, CO : Fillmore [3,600] Fri 11 OMAHA, NE : Orpheum [2,586] Sat 12 MILWAUKEE, WI : Riverside [2,304] Mon 14 ANN ARBOR, MI : Michigan Theater [1,591] Tue 15 CHICAGO, IL : Auditorium [3,635] Thur 17 CLEVELAND, OH : Playhouse Square Center [2,837] Fri 18 COLUMBUS, OH : Palace Theater [2,705] Sun 20 INDIANAPOLIS, IN : Murat Center [2,889] Tue 22 ST LOUIS, MO : The Pageant [2,000] Wed 23 KANSAS CITY, MO : Uptown Theater [2,200] Fri 25 DALLAS, TX : Palladium [2,800] Sat 26 AUSTIN, TX : Backyard [5,000] Mon 28 HOUSTON, TX : Verizon [2,815] Wed 30 EL PASO, TX : County Coliseum [3,500] Thur 31 TUCSON, AZ : Music Hall [2,289] june Sat 2 PHOENIX, AZ : Maricopa County Events Center [6,500] Sun 3 SAN DIEGO, CA : Bayside Concerts [10,000] Tue 5 VENTURA, CA : Majestic Ventura Theater [1,200] Wed 6 RIVERSIDE, CA : Riverside Municipal Auditorium [1,950] Fri 8 LOS ANGELES, CA : Hollywood Bowl [17,562] Sat 9 LAS VEGAS, NV : Pearl [2,352] Tue 26 BOSTON, MA : Bank of America Pavilion [4,994 cap] Wed 27 NORTHAMPTON, MA : Pines Theater [2,250] Fri 29 PHILADELPHIA, PA : Mann Center [4,370] Sat 30 NEW YORK, NY : MSG [13,098] july Mon 2 VIENNA, VA : Wolf Trap [7,028 cap] Tue 3 BALTIMORE, MD : Rams Head [1,500] Thur 5 ATLANTIC CITY, NJ : Borgata [2,071] Fri 6 HOLMDEL, NJ : PNC Bank Arts Center [Pavilion - 6,507] Mon 9 NORFOLK, VA : The Norva [1,400] Tue 10 KNOXVILLE, TN : Tennessee Theatre [1,544] Thur 12 CLEARWATER, FL : Ruth Eckerd Hall [1,997] Sat 14 BOCA RATON, FL : Mizner Park Amphitheater [3,200] Sun 15 ORLANDO, FL : Hard Rock Live [2,990] Tue 17 JACKSONVILLE, FL : Morocco Shrine Auditorium [3,200] Thur 19 BIRMINGHAM, AL : Alabama Theatre [2,150] Fri 20 ATLANTA, GA : Chastain Park [6,291] Sat 21 MYRTLE BEACH, SC : House of Blues [2,067] I bolded the show I'll be attending.
