So tonight was kinda weird.

[dmn23]

This evening I had the genuinely surreal experience of waiting in line with Dave Alvin to use the restroom in a 300 year old church. And then walking past John Doe and Phil Alvin on the way out.

I also got to hear a pretty rambunctious version of "Marie Marie" in this same church.

True story.

L-R: Phil Alvin, Rick Shea, Dave Alvin, John Doe, Terry Allen.

I could use more surreal experiences like that.

That is radical!

You can't beat good, valid music, at a real venue, for real people. You just can't. It's an experience few have, and those that have, cherish.

very cool church, I dig it.

I have no idea who those people are, though

That's not weird. That's totally cool!

Truth. It was a great show in a truly unusual venue. Lots of colorful language on stage too, to the point Dave said he was pleased lightning hadn't struck the church. He told the audience, "You didn't know when you bought your ticket that you were all going to Hell." John immediately said, "I bought that ticket long ago."

Did they play "4th of July"? One of my all time favorite songs. Still annoys the shit out of me that John Doe was in Road House though.

Negative. I would have loved to hear that. Phil and Dave have a new album coming out soon that's a tribute to Big Bill Broonzy, so there was a lot of traditional folk blues.

Cool, am I wrong or was/is Dave in the Knitters?

He was. I saw them at Stagecoach last year. They played this for a band member who passed. I cried.

One of our greatest songwriters IMHO.

Rev and Peeker..Are you guys under 50? Dave Alvin and the Blasters. Check'em.

The actual album version sounds like nails. Sweet.

Are you guys under 30? Dave Alvin and the Blasters. Check'em.

I'm 35. I honestly have no clue who those people are.

I misread the thread and thought it was Davie Allan, and I was thinking what a cool show that would be.



Had to rattle the brain cage a bit to remember the Blasters, etc... They're all right too, I guess.

You are such a loser

I see a new thread coming. Most misidentified artists and or their songs.

OR.. I am so old no one listens to what I thought was cool back in the day.:hd:
