Title: tidbit memories from the OBH shows
Post by: mahg33ta on Feb 01, 2014, 01:29 PM
The glow of success from this trip will be a memory forever.

But, some of the little details might fade.   So I'm starting this thread (instead of posting in the long thread) to capture some of the little moments that made the show special.

I'll start.   Remember IWSYS?   Jimmy doing the slidy-hands thing up the neck of the guitar?   Then continuing to do it with a silly grin on his face?

All I remember from Sing U Songs was my face melting. Then immediately melting again during War Begun, but not quite as much, then fully melting during PWW. Set break. Repeat.

I did eat some fungus before the show so that may have something to do with the melting

The drink service during the show was world class. I just remember double fisting for basically the entire first and second show. Never even had a chance to think about having to take a bathroom break.

the glowsticks on night 3!

I Know you Rider i was feeling super loose!

The Jam at the end of "Phone went west" started a lil differently and i loved it

Being very unhappy with "Careless Whisper" then having Jim change a crappy song into something ba ba bananas nanas... As usual. Freaking awesome!

Ever notice that they play their covers better than the originals, btw?

I got video of Thong Boy with his sack hanging out. After watching it I realized he was the nut on the second level of the stage area rooms, who was naked on the balcony hanging his junk on the rail, yelling at all the women across the quad who were on their second floor balcony. I'll post that goofy bastards video later.

I'm sorry I missed tube top, and never met itbeatsforjew (not that I know of). His name came up in conversation with the dorks I hung with.

My favorite memory was the in front of the soundboard crew and sprinting up there from our balcony w/ my family when O started to share that moment with everyone.

The way the band feed off the absolute ecstatic fans when they started OBH. They then proceeded to go crazy. Can't wait for it to come out downloadable. It'll then replace my Okonokos OBH as my new fav.

Carl stole the week, imho

The band seemed to genuinely enjoy their shows, which made this week mean all the more.

So glad we went...it will be hard to top...but I'll keep going to see if they can  :grin:

1) Within an hour of getting there I heard Golden during sound check. Now,I have heard Golden a lot, but something about it was so spiritual that it is hard to describe.

2) The transition from War Begun > IWSYS

3) Dondante was mind blowing! It took the night to another stratosphere. Watching it again brought years of joy to my face. Honestly, all 3 nights were collectively as good of a musical experience as I've ever experienced. For me, only RR 2012 rivals it.

4) the people were awesome. My wife and I hung out with some great people. That is what really separated this event from anything else that I've experienced.

5) The covers...mainly the ones I hadn't heard - Harvest Moon, All Night Long. All Night Long was off the hook!

6) "The Speedo Guy"...After the Lips set the crowd had cleared out and my wife noticed him running around and didn't want to pass up the photo op. The dude was absolutely loving life. As he made his way over it wasn't hard to notice something hanging out of his speedo. That's when I absolutely lost it. Only a few in our group noticed. My wife and another guy in the pic had no idea. By far the funniest thing that I saw all week.

There are so many awesome memories that could spend a week writing about them. I can't wait until next year:)

I agree!

I also agree. I think it was during "I Know You Rider", but when Carl and Bob Weir were facing off, having a guitar solo duel. Not only was my mouth agape, but Two Tone as well. I watched his face the whole time. His Jaw was to the floor and Bob looked over and he mouthed the words "Holy Fucking Shit" to Bob & Carl. Bob smiled and nodded his way.

Carl was out of control. I just feel the band was in sync on a level I have never thought possible

-was very surprised how much I missed the bears on stage. weird but true
-many have said it, Carl fucking light it up all week. love him and carried away
-merch gone after one day, lesson learned
-black metal, holy shit that was fun
-biggest buzz was The Lips/dance part, go figure.
-enjoyed the bobby tunes, that was different
-mclovin photo bombing us!
-who was the dude standing behind Patrick for the last couple of tunes on last night?
-so much fun, great people, awesome music. can't wait to do it again

I couldn't agree more. In fact I was on the rail the last night and there was a waiter that brought me vodka-pineapples all night long including up until the last song. He was awesome esp considering where I was. It wasn't an easy task for him to get to the front row as much as he did.

1) First foremost, without question is all the new friends. I'm so excited for the future!

2) Night 1: My mother in law's enjoyment of Hungry Heart, Smokin' from Shootin' I just freakin LOVE, getting up front with my son for Wonderful (possibly my highlight of the whole week), Bobby coming out and killing it with the band esp the I Know You Rider followed by an awesome light saber battle with my son

3) Night 2: I don't know that I can pick out a single highlight, possibly the best night of music in my life. I still can't stop thinking of the Beats 4 U, probably what I'm most looking forward to going back and listening to with the eventual downloads. The whole 2nd set just blew my mind. And to see that Bobby stuck around for an additional day says so much. Jacket must feel so honored to have rock n roll royalty show them so much respect. I don't think this will be last we see of this collaboration.

4) Night 3: Again, mind blowing! Have they ever covered Harvest Moon before? That was special. Then O through Don't Do It I don't think my feet touched the ground. My favorite cover was easily All Night Long. After hearing that from New Years last year and then they announced Mexico and then announced the addition of PHJB, that cover was so high on my wish list.

5) Night 3: I absolutely love they left the stage without playing OBH only to come back. Maybe it was my huge buzz, but I remember standing there trying to digest the idea they didn't play it, but then they came out and THREW IT DOWN!

6) Partying with Wayne & Kliph from the Lips at the dance party and Wayne not knowing how to use a bullet

7) Big, big props and thanks to Ben, Mike, Tom & Johnny for their hospitality to me and my family with their room during the shows. Couldn't appreciate it more.

8) And saving the best for last, watching my kids dance (with me, with my wife, or just by themselves). I honestly almost cried the first night I was so happy.

The guy behind Patrick at the end of night three was Dave Givan, Jim's old friend and drummer from his solo tour.

A highlight for me when The Way That He Sings started on night 1..... everyone was ready!!

Now that I have the soundboard downloads - I am loving the banter between songs. 

Also, I have to admit after some considerable reflection, that this was a magical time in my life.  There was a vibe in the air - indescribable really.  It was special and nothing I have ever experienced at any other concert I have attended.  Everyone was so cool and felt like family, though I knew only one person there.  I loved the passionate exuberance displayed by everyone for the band and they way the band fed off of that and totally kicked ass on stage.  This was truly an amazing adventure.  Can't wait to do it again!  :thumbsup:

You so nailed the feeling of being at One Big Holiday, especially that first time. 

Can't wait to go again in a few months!!

Quote from: consigliare on Feb 01, 2014, 05:03 PMStanding there drinking a beer a beer on day 1 near the stairwell of building 6, turning around and seeing them roll up and get off a golf cart, greeting them as they passed, and watching them go up the stairwell to the green room - which I now discovered was essentially next to ours ... then, randomly passing and greeting them in the stairwell at various times when going to/from our room  :beer:

I had the exact same experience.  Basically followed them down the stairs to the stage..
