Oh!! glad you caught that stream!  I was watching the camera buzz all over the audience and stage all night and was hoping someone would catch it!!

God they tore the cosmos to bits... Los Lobos went on before Phil, and they ended their set with Warren coming out and everyone playing a mean Bertha!!

Then......

And to top it off, I called at least 5 or 6 of the songs from nearly their very first note-- the full moon had me on fire!!  And I even successfully maintained a clear area for dancing the whole night!  (And I was in a pretty thick part of the crowd!)  It really was a magic night, and I tried my self best to dance and enjoy it the way I know my buddy Jimmy would.

[EasyRyder]

Glad you had room to dance, Woody! A night of unforgettable memories is seems  :) What a SET.

[ericm]

Woody - It was one of the better streams I've caught in a while. Crystal clear, no freezing, and I knew you were there representing!!  8)

Glad you had a good time, were on top of the "name that tune", and gotta love some room for dancin'!   

Keep us posted on your friend, Jimmy. I've got a good feeling everything's going to turn out ok.

[woodnymph]

Thanks guys!!  Gov't Mule didn't even start until 2am  :-X  We stayed out for the whole kit-n-kaboodle, and they did such a great Dear Prudence!!!  And the day before the show, my friend & I were talking music, and I mentioned that not many bands ever cover the Doors.  He's so into Umphrey's McGee and Phish, and he's constantly barraging me with "they covered this," or "they covered that," and I'd brought up that I've never really heard anyone cover the Doors much.

So it's like 3:15am, and Gov't Mule starts into "When the Music's Ooooverrrrr......"  and I lose it.  I was passing out because it was so late, and I knew we were in for a bit of a drive after the show... and when they kicked into the Doors, I caught a second wind thank god. And I go to my friend, "I'm secretly hoping they end with this tune, as much as I'd like to stay... but it's late, and this song is just way too appropriate to not leave things off here...."  Then they totally did end with it!!  It was great... Warren really pulled it off!

But I only did sleep about 3.5 hours last night, so I really should be off.... thanks so much for your feedback and thoughts though guys!!   :-*  More updates on all accounts coming soon.....

[dragonboy]

Should be great: To celebrate the release of 'National Treasures', the band will play a unique, once in a lifetime Christmas party at the O2 in London. The band promise "Glitter, glamour, special guests and a ticker-tape celebration. A never to be repeated one-off visual experience encompassing 21 years of MSP with 38 songs - from 1990's 'Motown Junk' to (but not in order!) 2011's 'The Is The Day'. There will be an interval in order to top up on refreshments and like all the best parties, you'll talk about it for years to come and your friends will wish they'd been there."

[mjk73]

I still have time to get to London for this right?!?! Sounds fantastic DB

Penny- I can't make all of those so I'm picking and choosing. Since I'm not running a marathon, someone can't use that as an excuse for me to not go.

Mazzy Star playing London in June?!! Worth going I wonder? Is Hope any better behaved when she's with David?

[buaawwww]

Howlin Rain coming to the East Coast @ Mercury Lounge in NYC.. and for a measly $13 bucks?!

If I rememeber from eons ago seeing them she was very subdued but they played with minimal breaks between songs.

I caught The Church when they did this tour in the US in 2011, and it IS epic.  I love how they took the full album craze and one-upped everyone by doing three full records in one night.  Getting to see Priest = Aura performed in full was something I never would have believed I would get to see. 

The tour was very successful in the USA, and I think they sold out every show and broke records on merch sales.  I'm hoping that means they will do a similar tour in the future, and hopefully play The Blurred Crusade.
