Post by: ggould on April 16, 2008, 10:03:20 AM

some song an old fart doesn't really know.  I've heard it before.  "Beautiful girl..."

I can give them a VHM, but will have to hear the rest in the car - got a couple of appointments to go to.

Huge BOS for Widespread Panic, possibly my favorite band of the 90s.  I can't believe I haven't seen them live yet.

Based on getting to know Widespread Panic thru KFOG, I saw them at Warfield a few years ago. They've got quite a dedicated following.

potential BOS for me.  Matt Mundy (sp?) on mandolin from the Aquarium Rescue Unit at the time.  I used to work with WSP's bassist a lot back then, Dave Schools, who is a real nice guy.  I always felt like WSP was the band I'd most enjoy actually playing with among all the post-GD jam bands.  Great feel.

#2 was Portrait, Here We Go Again, #3 is one I know we've heard but I can't place it. Kind of a laconic groove, with mandolin over percussion. Tasmin Archer maybe? In any case, neither of these songs thrilling me much.

ETA: OK, was way off on that--it was Whitebread Picnic. Still no love from me.

It was fun when visiting my brother in Tempe AZ in early 90's to see these guys live and watch them become a national act.  Too bad the one guy killed himself. I believe they are playing a gig here this summer (in Danville!).

And it turns out I was just a couple songs early--NOW we get the Tasmin Archer. ZZZZZZzzzzz.

Yeah, you have a point. If only I didn't feel like this were the same '93 set we've heard a dozen times before.

Just did a lil' research, Gin Blossoms are playing this Sat, April 19, in San Ramon at the new Dougherty Valley Performing Arts Center. See

Well, while it didn't add much to the original, I don't think it sucked.  I mean, it's not like it was Shatner.  :-}

Au contraire: I'm delighted I caught the replay BECAUSE of FNM's "Easy"!  (Yes, I decided to delay reading this thread until I could follow along with the set.  Geeky I.)  I'm actually enjoying this, although that Portrait is Katrina territory.

I was in the car when that FNM cover came on and called in to BOS Gin Blossoms and ask Dave who it was torturing Lionel Ritchie.  He said it was FNM & that "it was a bigger hit than anything the Gin Blossoms ever had."  I said I thought it was a HFH, and he said he agreed.

I have subsequently checked, and "Easy" peaked at #58, whereas the Gin Blossoms peaked at #25.  (Interestingly each band's biggest hit peaked at #9.)
