davefish - are you going to shoreline next week???

I'm a frayed knot.  I'll be in San Diego starting this Saturday for a week.  Buuuuuuut, I'll be seeing SD in SD on Monday with my brother!  I got eighth row seats for it, so I'm psyched.  You'll still be in Europe, eh?


si, desfortunadamente. take lots of pictures! and if the steely damned is playing in san diego, you should go see them!

It's funny, but here is another disco song that I haven't heard for years, and I have to hear it in a differnet way than I did when I was 16.  I mean back then in the Midwest I just had no idea that disco music intesected in anyway whatsoever homsexuality.  I figured this song was either about someone too young to date, or a Romeo & Juliet sort of scenario.

Ya know, I never thought to take pictures at a concert.  Is it even allowed for normal people?

Kind of hard to prevent with camera phones these days.  I got some shots from that R.E.M. show where I was sitting next to you, but they didn't come out well enough to be worth mentioning at the time.

which is precisely why disco worked well for two completely different audiences.

Each show is different. The artist gives the yay or nay about photography. Camera phones are always OK as there is no flash. I'm waiting to learn if Roger Waters will allow pix at Shoreline.

Don't hold your breath--Waters is one uptight SOB, although I imagine there'll be some good photo fodder at that show.

Cheap Sunglasses is the bonus track! Yay ZZ Top!

damn, Foghead was given these options:

Zappa, "Joe's Garage"
Robert Gordon, "Black Slacks"
ZZTop, "Cheap Sunglasses"

...and he went with ZZ Top. I hate it when that happens.

ETA: an even better '79 bonus on CG right now: Specials, "A Message to You, Rudy"

Damn I didn't hear the choices because I was on the phone--yeah, ZZ was definitely the lesser of the three choices.

Anyone recall the parody on The Logical Song dealing with the late-70s fuel shortage?  Dave played a bit of it during the break prior to actually playing TLS in today's set. I hadn't thought of it in ages, and now it's bugging the hell out of me.

Pretty decent set today. Wish I'd paid more attention this morning, but work was being work.

I'm so easily tempted. I just looked for tix at SHoreline for the show and 103 row H came up. Can't quite make the buy. Now POC, if you were here and would go with me....
