The great Bob Marley would have been 65 today. Here’s to you Bob.
New Railroad Earth Show
Attention Hobos, iClips has just posted a new Railroad Earth show from the Jam Cruise 8. The video has 10 songs and is great quality, you can even watch it full screen, I’ve never been able to do that on iClips before.
Here’s the link to the video: http://www.iclips.net/watch/rre-jam-cruise-8
I’m not sure how long this will be available to watch, so check it out soon.
One Finale Bruce Hornsby Post, maybe….
Last night’s show was awesome. I’m still buzzing from it this morning. I’m not sure what it is about Bruce’s music, but I absolutely love to hear it performed live. His sound just goes straight to my soul.
Once again the balcony folks were discriminated against and I was denied access to place my request on the stage. Oh well. I yelled out my request a number of times and I heard it yelled out by other folks too, but Bruce must not of heard it because “Across the River” didn’t get played.
No worries though. He did play what would have been my second and third choices, including “Cyclone”. I think “Cyclone” is fast becoming one of my all time favorite Hornsby songs. I didn’t realize this until Bruce talked about it last night, but the lyrics for “Cyclone” were written by Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter. Truly another masterpiece by one of the greatest lyric writers of all time.
Meeting Joe “Rock and Roll Guru” Heuer, was cool too. Met him for dinner before the show and talked a lot of rock and roll. He’s a very cool guy. But what else would you expect from a fellow Deadhead. He’s now putting up video blog posts from the concerts he goes to and shoots them after the show is over. Guess who was the guest camera man last night? That’s right, little ol’ me
I’ll put a link up to his post once he gets it online today.
Seeing Bruce Hornsby two times in four days was amazing. The solo show was great and last night’s show was awesome.
So, I guess my Bruce Hornsby fix is taken care of for awhile.
Ah hell who am I kidding, I could go see him again tonight in Iowa and Thursday in Missouri.
